Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - C+C Music Factory (1990)

"Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" was C+C Music Factory's first hit. It was released in late 1990 in many countries and achieved a great success in the U.S., Austria, Germany and Switzerland where it reached number one on the charts. The rap was performed by Freedom Williams and the vocal "Everybody Dance Now" by disco/house music artist Martha Wash. The official music video features Zelma Davis lip-synching to the actual Martha Wash vocal parts. Wash, perturbed by the fact that her image had been labeled 'unmarketable' due to her girth, successfully sued to receive proper credit and royalties. Wash's courtroom efforts spurred legislation making vocal credits mandatory on CDs and music videos. When it was first released, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" was met by widespread commercial recognition, initiating the house movement of the early '90s. Topping charts in several countries, the song dominated the airwaves while its accompanying music video received constant rotation on MTV. Music critics praised "Gonna Make You Sweat" for Freedom Williams' Ice-T-like rap delivery in conjunction with Martha Wash's powerful, exuberant, post-disco vocals and deemed the song as a bona fide classic. The song held the top spot in the Billboard Magazine list of popular dance club tunes for five weeks in December 1990, and topped Billboard's Hot 100 Singles list for two weeks in 1991. It reached #3 in the U.K. in January, a full month before its American pop success. It even found success in the urban contemporary music world as it crossed over to the R&B charts where it reached number-one for a week. This channel is dedicated to all the great rap music from back in the day. The music that started the whole hip-hop revolution, the incredible music from the 70s, the 80s, and the early 90s . . . The Roots Of Rap are here!
