Back in the disco days, Robert Civilles and David Cole were C&C Music Factory.
They had a lot of big hits, most especially “Gonna Sweat” aka “Everybody Dance Now,” the most ubiquitous dance hit of all time. Martha Wash’s vocals are still resounding through different galaxies.
The short version: Civilles and Cole had a partner, Freedom Williams, who snatched their trademark and started performing all over the world as C&C Music Factory. Cole died in 1995.
This past spring, Donald Trump’s Freedom 250 committee announced that C&C Music Factory would perform at his Great American stakeout on the Mall in DC. Of course, the event was cancelled, but not before Civilles denounced it and explained he and Williams were at each other’s throats.
Today, right now, Civilles is asking help from fans to film Williams tonight at his Jones Beach show.
Civilles says he filed suit against Williams, who was allegedly served yesterday.
Stand by, this is going to get interesting.
