Everybody Everybody is still a banger 33 years after…
However the song became controversial when it was discovered that the video was a lip sync!
In 1989, Martha Wash was approached by Black Box, then known as Groove Groove Melody, to record demos for other musicians in exchange for a flat fee. Wash recorded vocals for the songs in a five-day period, which were kept in six of nine songs from the group’s debut studio album Dreamland (1990).
But a producer said that the act had also used singer Loleeatta Holloway‘s (left) vocals. She was never credited and went on to sue the band and won.
The vocals in the video are lip-synched by model Catherine Quinol, (above right).
