Musicians

The Resume

    (1989- )
    Freedom Williams (Grew up in Brooklyn, New York - rapper of the group)
    Recorded hit songs as 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)'(1991), 'Here We Go' (1991) and 'Things That Make You Go Hmmm'
    'Gonna Make You Sweat' sold over six million copies in 1991 was #9 on VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Songs and was on the Top 100 American Music Countdown for 1991
    Robert Clivilles (Born in New York)
    David Cole (1963-January 24, 1995, born in Tennessee)
    Zelma Davis (born in Liberia)

Why they might be annoying:

    It was never a real music group. Zelma and Freedom were hired by Clivillés and Cole to add their voices to the tracks.
    'Gonna Make You Sweat' is overplayed at clubs and fitness classes.
    They sued Mariah Carey in 1998 for royalties that were owed to them for her 'Music Box' album.
    Zelma Davis lip-synched to Martha Walsh's voice in the video 'Gonna Make You Sweat.'
    The album never gave Martha Walsh credit for her music. Supposedly Cole and Clivillés thought showing a full figure woman such as Martha on their album cover or videos would damage the group's rep.
    House music lost popularity in 1993 when alternative musical acts such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins became mainstream.
    The group won five American Music Awards, One Grammy, five Billboard Music Awards and two MTV Awards.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Freedom Williams sang the song 'Do We Really Wanna Be FREE?' for the Million Man March in Washington D.C.
    Their music is mostly upbeat and happy songs.
    Clivillés and Cole remixed some songs for the movie soundtrack 'The Body Guard' (1992).
    David Cole died of spinal meningitis in January of 1995.
