"Everybody Everybody" is a song by the Italian house music group Black Box, from their debut studio album, Dreamland (1990). The song was written by Daniele Davoli, Mirko Limoni, and Valerio Semplici, while produced by Groove Groove Melody. It was released by RCA Records as the third single from the album. The house, pop and Eurodisco song consists of an organ, drums, horns, and strings. "Everybody Everybody" contains a sample of Larry Blackmon's vocals and a drum loop from Bobby Byrd's 1987 remix of James Brown's song "Hot Pants" (1971).
The song contains uncredited vocals by American singer Martha Wash, who was replaced by French model Katrin Quinol as the credited vocalist who made several appearances with Black Box, which led Wash to file a lawsuit against the group.
"Everybody Everybody" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the production and vocals. The song peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 10 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and at number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was released in 1990, which depicts Katrin Quinol lip synching the song in a unitard.
Background and controversy
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 payment.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/martha-wash-the-most-famous-unknown-singer-of-the-90s-speaks-out-231182/|title=Martha Wash: The Most Famous Unknown Singer of the '90s Speaks Out|last=Newman|first=Jason|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=2 September 2014|access-date=15 August 2021}} 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). However, she was not credited on the album's liner notes as French fashion model Katrin Quinol was brought in to phonetically learn the songs on Dreamland for seven months despite not knowing the English language, and made several appearances as part of the group. Black Box's record label RCA Records continuously stated that Quinol was the lead vocalist of each song,{{cite news|title=Did Martha Washington Sing Black Box's Hit?|last=Stamberg|first=Susan|author-link=Susan Stamberg|newspaper=Morning Edition|publisher=NPR|date=20 November 1990|via=ProQuest}}{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87538636/black-box-dubious-newsday-1990/|title=Black Box: Living Dubiously|last=Leland|first=John|author-link=John Leland (journalist)|newspaper=Newsday|date=21 September 1990|page=177|via=Newspapers.com}} in response to publications such as Billboard and The New York Times insisting that another singer appeared on the album.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87538553/everybody-everybody-black-box/|title=Popular music group Black Box stirs controversy as well as charts|last=Johnson|first=Kevin C.|newspaper=Springfield News-Leader|date=26 October 1990|page=21|via=Newspapers.com}}
On 21 November 1990, several consumer class action lawsuits were issued in the Los Angeles Federal District Court relating to Milli Vanilli and Black Box. RCA Records initially believed that the vocals in Black Box's music belonged to Quinol, who was seen in the group's promotional material.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/06/arts/lawsuits-seek-truth-in-music-labeling.html|title=Lawsuits Seek Truth In Music Labeling|last=Pareles|first=Jon|author-link=Jon Pareles|website=The New York Times|date=6 December 1990|access-date=15 August 2021|url-access=subscription}} Wash sued the Black Box members in September 1990 for false advertising{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1990/BB-1990-10-20.pdf|title=RCA Act Black Box Sued for False Advertising|magazine=Billboard|volume=102|issue=42|page=94|date=20 October 1990|access-date=16 August 2021}} and uncredited vocals,{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2105409/martha-wash-cc-music-factory-black-box-lawsuit-everybody-dance-now-diva-erasure/columns/sounding-board/|title=Everybody Everybody (But One) Dance Now: The Diva Erasure Of Martha Wash Revisited|last=Patrin|first=Nate|website=Stereogum|date=11 November 2020|access-date=15 August 2021}} but was settled out-of-court in December 1990.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-02-21-ca-2111-story.html|title=Read Her Lips : R&B; Singer Says Hot Dance Hit Is Lip-Synced|last=Philips|first=Chuck|author-link=Chuck Philips|website=Los Angeles Times|date=21 February 1991|access-date=15 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308011050/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-02-21-ca-2111-story.html|archive-date=8 March 2021|url-status=live}} She eventually signed an eight-year contract with the record label to record eight individual albums,{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-12-14-ca-6706-story.html|title=Martha Wash Gets Her Form Back : Pop Music: The singer's voice but not face appeared on the Black Box videos.

Billboard writer Bill Coleman described "Everybody Everybody" as "thoroughly contagious" and stated that the vocals and lyrics are "uplifting". John Leland of Newsday stated that the song is the "dance-party anthem of the season". Writing for The Network Forty, Yvette Ziraldo opined that the production is "infectious",{{cite magazine|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Network-40/90/Network-40-1990-09-21.pdf|title=Crossover: Retail Sales|last=Ziraldo|first=Yvette|magazine=The Network Forty|issue=30|page=54|date=21 September 1990|access-date=16 August 2021}} while Chris Heath of Smash Hits declared it as "almost brilliant".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/smashhits90s/34280026621/in/album-72157683235389096/|title=Review: LPs|last=Heath|first=Chris|author-link=Chris Heath|magazine=Smash Hits|issue=298|page=55|date=2 May 1990|access-date=16 August 2021|via=Flickr}} Ernest Hardy of Cashbox complimented the song's "raw vocal" alongside the production's "relentless groove", but noted the similar sound with Black Box's previous singles "Ride on Time" and "I Don't Know Anybody Else".{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/90s/1990/CB-1990-06-16.pdf|title=On The Dancefloor: New Grooves - Singles|last=Hardy|first=Ernest|magazine=Cashbox|date=16 June 1990|volume=53|issue=47|page=12|access-date=27 October 2020}} NME writer Roger Morton praised the song as a successor to "Ride on Time" with its "burnished gold vocal[s]", but recognized that they were lip-synched.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/52120144981/|title=Singles|first=Roger|last=Morton|magazine=NME|date=26 May 1990|access-date=24 February 2023|via=Flickr}}
Commercial performance and music video
In June 1990, "Everybody Everybody" appeared in dance clubs, with its popularity resulting in airplay on urban contemporary and contemporary hit radio stations. In the United States, the song peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated 20 October 1990, where it remained for 19 weeks. It also topped the Dance Club Songs chart issued 21 July 1990, and charted for 10 weeks. On the 3 June 1990, issue of the UK Singles Chart, "Everybody Everybody" peaked at number 16 and charted for six weeks. The song bowed at number 35 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, and reached number 11 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.
An accompanying music video for "Everybody Everybody" was released, which depicts Quinol squatting while wearing a unitard and lip synching the song's vocals. In late 1990, Wash saw the music video and called her manager after realising that she was uncredited on the song. She described Quinol's appearance as being "[six]-feet tall, very skinny [with] cobalt-blue eyes" and suggested that such models were utilised in various music videos as "props". Writing for the St. Petersburg Times, Jean Carey considered the video to be "lame" and wrote that it "encourage[d] the rumors" about "the group's mystery vocalist".{{cite news|title=Knifestyles of the rich and famous?
