A Tribute To David Cole Part 1

Music

As one half of dance music duo C & C Music Factory, David Cole along with Robert Clivilles, soundtracked the  dance music sound coming out of America from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s.
Collaboratively, Clivilles & Cole remixed artists such as Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, and furthermore produced multi million selling songs for Taylor Dayne, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to name only but a few.
On 24th January 1995, David Cole died from AIDS related Spinal Meningitis. As a tribute to the legacy of work that he created and left behind, this podcast has been put together to remember the amazing musical work that will live on forever. Part 1 of this podcast originally aired on the eve of what would have been David’s 55th birthday.  In the words of C+C Music Factory “everybody dance now”.
