I'M SWEATING!| C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) REACTION

[@lindamcghee6296]

She really wasn't singing the song . Martha Wash actually song it . He didn't want a heavy set to sing it. They got sued for it. Because they used her voice .

[@marcieharreld286]

Thank you for that!!!! 🤟🎶🎼🎵💜

[@davebirch1976]

A similar thing happened with Snap when "the power" got into the charts they performed on top of the pops and the girl singing wasn't the one who sung it, she was going to sue them but I think they came to an agreement

[@randycooper3428]

I was about to post this and checked to see if anyone else remembered it. I couldn't believe this when I was a kid.

[@WiggyVideos13]

Martha Wash sung most of Black Box's songs as well.

[@katerussell6139]

Which I always thought was silly! I thought they could at least have had Martha do a cameo in the video! I remember being disappointed she wasn’t somehow featured in it the first time I saw this! Who cares if she had curves the woman is beautiful and clearly ridiculously talented! Thanks for mentioning this ☺️!

I'm a Gen-Xer who loved this song, but never saw the video until a year ago. It is so amazingly minimalist that if you weren't hearing the music, you'd have a hard time picking out what decade its from.

[@GroupieDoBTS]

YES!!!!! But the voice is not HER voice. I think is Martha Walsh

[@thisisisabella3634]

Yeah things were weird like that before the internet. Imagine milli vanilli trying to get away with what they did back then.

[@mcoudeniii]

Yes! The production team wanted a sexier image for the iconic "Everybody Dance Now!'. So the woman you see is lip synching. The voice you hear is the inimitable Martha Wash; whom you reacted to when she made up 1/2 of the Weather Girls (It's Raining Men).

[@lamusiclover2264]

This was a studio-created band by two popular producers and remixers, Clivvilles and Cole. The vocals are by the amazing Martha Wash, who has been the voice on so many dance records (she was one of The Weather Girls). The woman in this video is NOT Martha. They left her out of the video because she was a large heavy woman (with a huge voice). She sued another group, Black Box because they put pretty little girls in the vido and album cover and gave her NO credit on the album. She won that one. Pretty sure she sued and won against this group and rightly so.

[@jacquelinejacobs235]

I recall that happening and it made me angry when I found out about that! It disgusted me. How low can you go? Obviously pretty damn low here! It's still a great song mostly due to Martha singing her soul out!! They should be or if they haven't done so yet, be thanking her for making that a hit record for them. I posted something similar as did a lot of other people about this topic that surrounds this song. It's all good now it was a long time ago! Peace,Love,Music ;o)

[@lamusiclover2264]

@@jacquelinejacobs235 unfortunately, record companies care about image and record sales. They don't feel that heavy people sell records. There are some artists where they would put some art on the album cover with no photo of the singer. Think of how many overweight singing stars there are, especially women. It would be hard to come up with five. Lizzo is an exception, and I hope that she is breaking the glass ceiling. Martha Wash had an amazing voice and nobody sounded like her. She started as a backup singer for Sylvester, and he called her and the other backup singer Two Tons of Fun

[@kazbaz2011]

Wow, didn’t realise she was the voice here AND Black Box - makes sense now that you say it!

[@tjpea7916]

Martha Wash was brought in to do demos of the songs but they used her vocals without her knowledge and without credit. She sued and won and also made it law for vocalists to be properly credited. Their biggest hit (uk at least) ‘Ride on time’ didn’t feature Martha. It was sampled from Loleatta Holloway’s Love Sensation who also sued later and got credits added where it was used on an album.

Probably one of the most influential pieces of video of the last 3 decades. You can see its visual style, graphics design and camera movement in advertising campaigns, magazines, movies (guy ritchie was among the first to "borrow" some stylistic elements from this, tv shows (nickelodeon shows took heavily from the graphic design elements here). C&C Music Factory may not have stayed a hit long in the US but its video influenced so many new styles - especially in advertising - forever more. Nothing like this video had been done before - it was really unique - and its impact was immesurable

As soon as you heard " everybody dance now" , the club went crazy and the track just got better after that. Just one of those really cool random never forget memories.
