Four seconds. That’s all “Everybody Dance Now” needs for a whole place to react. Hardly any song of the nineties has this immediate effect.
C&C Music Factory, the project of New York producers Robert Clivillés and David Cole, brought house into the charts all over the world in 1990. “going to Make You Sweat” was number one in the USA, “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…” and “Here We Go” followed. The combination of piano riff, rap passages and powerful solo vocals became style-defining for an entire decade.
Live, the program is carried by the original voices, plus DJ and dancers. Short titles, high tempo, no idle time – a set that is built for effect from the first minute.
The classic for nineties formats, city festivals and club events. When this song plays, the square dances.
