The 1st verse reminds me of Skyy's Superlove.

Great song, but I hate how they dogged her by putting a skinny girl lip-syncing her voice,,,,I wonder if Ms.Wash ever voiced her opinion about this.

I think she did, didn't she sue 'em and C+C?

Harlepolis said:

You mean besides the lawsuit?

AlexdeParis said:

Didn't know about that.

Harlepolis said:

Yeah she sued them and C+C Music Factory, they gave her her royalties too!

Timmy84 said:

Wow,,,,good for her.

I remember when they made a short profile about her in VH-1, Whitney dissed them big time. I didn't know however that there was a lawsuit.

Thanx for the clarification.

Harlepolis said:

You mean Whitney dissing C+C and 'em, yeah I can see why. Yeah she was talking about it on one of those "Where Are They Now" specials.

Harlepolis said:

No problem. Yeah, Martha's voice was all over the airwaves back then: "Everybody Everybody," "I Don't Know Anybody Else," "Gonna Make You Sweat," "You're My One and Only (True Love)," "Strike It Up"...

This was MY SONG! That video was the inspiration for my outfit and I danced my ass off in that outfit in the clubs. That sparked one of the funnest years of my life!

@ that pic.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yeah I heard about that too...

Harlepolis said:

No wonder I dug "Superlove" when I heard it

I loved DJ Ayres' Quiet Storm remix (from 2007)

Fiercest THANG on the internet!!! I swear 4 chickens!

LOVE this song.

This is the very first song that comes to mind when I think of the word "gay". This was THE hottest song the year I came out and we shook a many a ass and did a few other things to this song too. A gay classic!

I didn't have cable at the time but I heard about the little skinny bitch in the video. Hell, the first time I ever heard the song, without even knowing who the singer was, I knew it had to be a big girl because not too many little skinny heffers have that much power in their voice.

You WHORE! In that picture, you look like the guy in "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

That was definately my favorite of the gay years also. These little queens these days don't know how to party like we used to.

Martha Walsh once sued C+C Music Factory, Black Box, AND Seduction for not getting any album credits for her vocals.

With C+C, Martha was only on lead vocals for Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) whole Zelma Davis was on lead vocals for all of the other tracks. With Black Box, Martha was on lead vocals on the whole album. With Seduction, Martha did some backing vocals on a few tracks.

Except for "Ride On Time". That one was Loleatta Holloway.

And they even had the nerve to do appearances with the little skinny heffer....

vainandy said:

Correct! Except that they used a Loleatta Holloway sample for Ride On Time. Those Italo-house producers were too damn cheap to pay Loleatta to re-record her vocals in their Italy-based studio.

I hope Loleatta sued them also.

vainandy said:

THAT'S^ Katherine Quinol, the "lead vocalist" for Black Box's debut album. I even remember her appearance on Soul Train. This woman have never sung one note on any of tracks at all.

I heard that she can't even speak English.

vainandy said:

Both Loleatta Holloway and her songwriter/producer Dan Hartman did sue Black Box for copyright violations (Love Sensation was the sample used for Ride On Time), but all matters were settle out of court.

vainandy said:

She had to know some English in order to do interviews in the UK & USA.

They had folks sueing them from all directions.

But just look how great their music sounded. Just imagine if they had treated Martha right and put her in the videos and television appearances. And also if they approached Loleatta the right way and got her to contribute also. They could have put out a lot more albums and could have been one of the best groups of the 1990s. Instead, just look at the bullshit that we ended up with dominating the 1990s (shit hop).
