Producers
Robert Clivilles and
David Cole brought
House to
America's heartlands with the chart-topping title track of
Gonna Make You Sweat (1991), their stylish visuals and production distinguishing them from predecessors like
Technotronic's '
Pump Up The Jam'. After releasing 1987's '
Do It Properly' (as
2 Puerto Ricans, A Black Man And A Dominican), they progressed from upfront
Dance to nouveau
Disco (epitomized by
Whitney Houston's C+C-helmed '
I'm Every Woman'.
The connoisseurs applauded work with US trio Seduction, 'Things That Make You Go Hmmm...' gave House a sly slant and their storming 'Deeper Love' briefly revitalised Aretha Franklin's career. The pair continued in a funkier vein on Anything Goes (1994), but ended when Cole died of meningitis. Robert Civilles' subsequent mix mastery- notably his work with Mariah Carey- keeps C+C's legacy alive.
