Black Box was an Italian house music group popular in the late 1980s-early 1990s. The members of the group included the trio called Groove Groove Melody production group, who produced a lot of dance music. In 1989, they grouped with singer and model Catherine Quinol (AKA Katrin) to do work with them. In 1990, they had Martha Wash do vocals in their song "Everybody, Everybody" which became a hit in North America. They went on to record music under many other aliases. Eventually it was proven that Wash and singer Loleatta Holloway actually did all of the vocals. Quinol simply lip synched the vocals in concert and music videos.
