Real McCoy

Real McCoy is a German Eurodance/pop music project that achieved international fame in the 1990s with a string of dance hits, including "Another Night," "Run Away," and "Love & Devotion." The group was initially formed in 1989 in Berlin by producer Olaf Jeglitza, along with Patricia Petersen and Vanessa Mason, although Petersen was later replaced by singer Karin Kasar. Their distinctive blend of rap verses and infectious choruses, packaged with a dancefloor-friendly sound, became a hallmark of the Eurodance genre.

Real McCoy's breakthrough came with the 1993 hit "Another Night," which propelled them to the forefront of the dance music scene, especially in the United States where the track reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. This was followed by successful singles such as "Automatic Lover," "Run Away," and "Love & Devotion," embedding them firmly in the era's musical zeitgeist. The group's success was not only marked by their chart-topping singles but also by their impactful albums, including "Another Night" (1995), which showcased their ability to create a full-length dance experience. Despite their lower profile in subsequent years, Real McCoy's music remains a definitive example of the 90s dance euphoria, and their hit tracks continue to be celebrated and remixed for a new generation of listeners.
