About Clivillés & Cole

C+C Music Factory was a dance music production group (led by Robert Clivillés and David Cole) distinguished for having seven #1 Dance/Club Play hits in the early to mid 1990s, as well as several pop crossover hits, one of which "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" reached #1 on Billboards Hot 100 Singles & R&B Singles charts. The group also released singles and albums under alternate names (such as Clivillés + Cole); the last offspring was called MVP. Robert Clivillés and David Cole also produced various hits for other artists such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Deborah Cooper, and many others. C+C Music Factory earned a total of 35 music industry awards worldwide, including five Billboard Awards, five American Music Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards. In 1990, their first album Gonna Make You Sweat peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 Album Sales chart, #11 R&B Albums, and went 5x Platinum. In 1994, their follow up album, Anything Goes! peaked at #106 on the Billboard 200, and #39 on the R&B Albums. They had a large number of club hits, several of which also crossed over to become massive pop hits. All four singles from their debut album reached #1 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play chart, and all four were also crossover Pop and R&B hits. The first single "Gonna Make You Sweat" reached #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart (and #3 in the UK). The fourth and final single from their debut album "Just a Touch of Love", featured in the movie Sister Act. The album contained two more Top 5 singles; "Here We Go" reached #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart (and #20 in the UK), and "Things That Make You Go Hmmm" reached #4 (and #4 in the UK). In 1992, they had another #1 Dance/Club play hit with the song "Keep It Comin'" (Dance Till You Can't Dance No More); including a variation with emcee Q-Unique that was recorded for the soundtrack and opening cheerleading routine from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both versions of the song feature lead vocals by Deborah Cooper. Their second album, Anything Goes! had two less successful singles, "Do You Wanna Get Funky" and "Take a Toke." Both didn't make Billboard's Hot 100. An album was released in Europe in late 1995 by Robert Clivillés with the name C+C Music Factory, which spawned one more US #1 Dance/Club Play hit "I'll Always be Around." Neither the single nor the album featured former member David Cole, who had died prior to the recording of the material featured on this release. The album was released by MCA in 1995 in Europe, but it was not released in the US. This was the final studio album of new material to be released under the C+C Music Factory name. C+C Music Factory recently performed in Boston and Dallas with Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock.
