Featuring: Zelma Davis

My mama used to tell me
She said love is crazy thing
It comes when you're not looking
And then it tries to knock you off of your feet
Now I've known you forever, and I can truly say
That I never ever ever thought that you
Would bring love my way

Cos I found love
(I found love right in front of me)
I found love
(I found love waiting patiently)
And I know this love
(I know this love was supposed to be)
Cos I feel it I feel it
The love of me

This is your night tonight
Everythings gonna be alright
(gonna be alright)
This is your night tonight
Everythings gonna be alright

It's funny how you never
Never know which love is gonna go
Sometimes it comes so quickly
And other times it creeps up nice and slow
So here we are together
And I'm feel fine
I feel it coming heavy
Like I can touch the sky

Cos I found love
(I found love right in front of me)
I found love
(I found love waiting patiently)
And I know this love
(I know this love was supposed to be)
Cos I feel it I feel it
The love of me

This is your night tonight
Everythings gonna be alright
(gonna be alright)
This is your night tonight
Everythings gonna be alright

Now I know I can't explain it
I know I can't contain it
All it was I kinda knew
That love had finally come my way

Cos I found love
(I found love right in front of me)
I found love
(I found love waiting patiently)
And I know this love
(I know this love was supposed to be)
Cos I feel it I feel it
The love of me

David Cole and Robert Civilles met while both working at a New York underground club. Before forming C & C Music Factory, they were primarily remixers, co-writers, producers and artist managers – having worked with Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, Fleetwood Mac, Grace Jones, Seduction and others.

Cole & Civilles decided to launch their own music project with an ever-changing cast of vocalists. When an artist they were managing turned down the song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, the duo decided to use it as their first single. They recruited a janitor from Quad Recording Studio who was learning to become an assistant engineer named Freedom Williams to perform the raps, and hired ex-Weather Girls singer Martha Wash for the female vocals – but credited them to Zelma Davis. Davis also appeared in the song’s video. Wash later sued for being uncredited in the song and its video.

The song became an international smash, reaching the top 5 in nine countries (taking the top position in five of them). Their debut album was released a month after the single and it reached #2 in the US, #8 in the UK and the top 30 in six other countries.
