===1994–1996: Subsequent releases and hiatus===
In 1994, C+C Music Factory experienced a lineup change. Wash, who had just settled a lawsuit with the group, was asked to join as a full-time vocalist. Williams left the group to pursue a solo career and was replaced by the vocal trio [[Trilogy (group)|Trilogy]].<ref name=nofreedom>{{cite web|url=http://dancemusic.about.com/od/remixersproducers/a/RobClivillesIn2_2.htm|title=Robert Clivilles Interview (Part 2) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091001012619/http://dancemusic.about.com/od/remixersproducers/a/RobClivillesIn2_2.htm |archive-date=2009-10-01 |publisher=[[About.com]]}}</ref> In August 1994, the group released their second album, titled ''[[Anything Goes! (C+C Music Factory album)|Anything Goes!]]'', which performed poorly on the [[Billboard 200|Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart]]. The lead single, "[[Do You Wanna Get Funky]]", which featured vocals from Davis, Wash, and Trilogy, became a success on the Billboard charts and earned the group their sixth number-one dance hit. The album also featured two minor hits, "Take a Toke" and "I Found Love".

In November 1995, they released their [[C+C Music Factory (album)|self-titled third album]]. The record was released by Robert Clivillés using the C+C Music Factory name, though it did not feature any musical contributions from Cole, Davis, or Wash, but retained the vocal contributions of Trilogy. The album's lead single, "I'll Always Be Around", became their seventh number-one dance hit. The second single, "Don't Stop the Remix", was the group's final release before disbanding.
