Their 1990 album "Gonna Make You Sweat" featured successful dance singles "Here We Go", "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..." and the dance anthem "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", which featured vocals by Martha Wash and Freedom Williams with Zelma Davis featuring on their music videos. All the forementioned had substancial runs at the top of both the US and Canada Dance charts. "Do you wanna get funky" was another track that made #1 on both dance charts. Furthermore "Just a touch of love" (from the movie Sister Act 2), "A deeper love", "Keep it comin'" (featuring Q-Unique and Deborah Cooper), "I'll always be around" made US Dance #1. Whilst "Pride (In the name of love)" was also a Canada Dance #1.
