C+C Music Factory is a dance music production group (led by Robert Clivilles and David Cole) distinguished for having seven number 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 number 1 on
Billboard's Hot 100 and R&B singles charts. The group also released singles and albums under alternate names (such as
Clivilles + Cole); the last offspring was called MVP. Clivilles and Cole also produced various hits for other artists such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Deborah Cooper, and many others.
After Cole died in January 1995, his partner Clivilles continued to use the C+C name alone.
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.
