Flashback Friday: Alabama Football Home Opener Edition

Let's get the party started, Alabama football is back with the home opener tomorrow at Bryant-Denny Stadium!! Do you remember those 'Jock Jams' CD's from back in the day? Yeah, before the days of the perfect playlist, we had this collection of tunes perfect for tailgating and getting hyped up for the game. The first 'Jock Jams' was so popular, there ended being a series of them. On that first release, the original collection of jams was the C&C Music Factory 1991 hit, 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).' The Flashback Friday Spotlight song for this week!

C&C stands for David Cole and Robert Clivillés, founding members of the hip-hop group. David Cole would pass away in 1996 and they stopped recording, until 2010 when Robert teamed up with Eric Kupper.

More notes from Wikipedia:

The album's first single, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," took most of the world by storm, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in February 1991 (see 1991 in music). The song also reached number one on Billboard's Top R&B Singles, Hot Dance Music/Club Play and Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales as well as number three on the Australian ARIA Singles chart and UK Singles Chart. The song's opening line is frequently played during indoor sporting events as a way of maintaining enthusiasm among the spectators.
