C+C Music Factory, a dynamic American musical group, burst onto the scene in 1989, founded by the visionary duo David Cole and Robert Clivillés. The group quickly became a household name with their infectious blend of dance, hip-hop, and house music. Their chart-topping hits, including “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” “Here We Go (Let’s Rock & Roll),” “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…,” “Just a Touch of Love,” and “Keep It Comin’,” defined an era and solidified their place in music history.

Tragedy struck in 1996 when David Cole passed away, prompting a hiatus for the group. However, in 2010, C+C Music Factory made a triumphant return, with Eric Kupper stepping in to fill Cole’s shoes. The resilience of the group was evident as they continued to captivate audiences around the world. Original member Freedom Williams, who secured trademark rights to the name in 2003, has kept the C+C Music Factory legacy alive and vibrant, touring under the iconic moniker.

The group’s stellar achievements include an impressive collection of 35 music industry awards, with highlights such as five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, and two MTV Video Music Awards. In a fitting tribute to their enduring impact on the dance music scene, Billboard magazine recognized C+C Music Factory as the 44th most successful dance artist of all time in December 2016. The legacy of C+C Music Factory lives on, a testament to the enduring power of their music and the indelible mark they’ve left on the world of dance and pop culture.
