C+C Music Factory wasn't really a group -- it was the product of <a href="spotify:artist:3OnLbqYMUXobDapREwXLdo">Robert Clivillés</a> and David Cole, two pop-savvy dance producers. In 1989, Clivillés and Cole hired all the singers and created all the tracks for Gonna Make You Sweat, C+C Music Factory's first album. While it was prepackaged, it wasn't necessarily faceless; in <a href="spotify:artist:08MVPakTEdRJimQNV61NFR">Freedom Williams</a>, the producers had a solid, if not original or distinctive, rapper. What was really important to the success of the album was how Clivillés and Cole assembled the tracks, melding hip-hop and club sensibilities to mindlessly catchy pop songs. The three hit singles -- "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," "Here We Go," "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..." -- were very good pop singles, and all of them were massive hits in early 1991.
After their moment in the sun, <a href="spotify:artist:08MVPakTEdRJimQNV61NFR">Williams</a> left for an unsuccessful solo career and Clivillés and Cole released Greatest Remixes, Vol. 1, a collection of their work with C+C Music Factory as well as other artists; the album had a hit single with their re-recording of <a href="spotify:artist:51Blml2LZPmy7TTiAg47vQ">U2</a>'s "Pride."
C+C Music Factory released their second album, Anything Goes!, in the summer of 1994; it was a moderate hit, spending nine weeks on the charts. Unfortunately, it was the last album the duo ever made -- David Cole died of spinal meningitis in early 1995. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
