Biography

Formation

Real McCoy was the brainchild of German rapper and producer Olaf "O-Jay" Jeglitza. After having released a few limited edition 12" singles in Germany under the name "The Alliance" with friends Frank "Quickmix" Hassas and Jay Wind, their first major breakthrough came in December 1989 when a cover of the Technotronic hit "Pump Up The Jam" got to #16 on the German singles chart. Rapping is one of the elements of hip hop and the distinguishing feature of hip hop music; it is a form of rhyming lyrics spoken rhythmically over musical instruments, with a musical backdrop of sampling, scratching and mixing by DJs. ...

At this point, the act was faceless so for the second single, the original track "It's On You", singer Patsy Petersen and 'rapper' Shampro were enlisted to join the group. O-Jay felt uncomfortable being the frontman so Shampro mimed O-Jay's raps. The single, on its release in 1990, climbed to #11 in Germany. An album "On The Move" was also released.

Another Night

After this things went a little quiet for a while until they hooked up with David "The Hitman" Brunner, Head of A&R at Hansa Records. He was impressed by a song O-Jay had written called "Another Night" but was dissatisfied with Patsy's vocals. He took the song to be re-recorded by another singer, Karin Kasar and the production was re-worked by The Berman Brothers. Hansa Records (Hansa or Hansa-Musik-Produktion) was a record label founded in the 1960s based in Berlin, Germany. ... Another Night is a song by the band Real McCoy. ... The Berman Brothers -comprise of real-life-siblings Frank and Christian Berman- are award-winning record producers and songwriters. ...

Convinced he had a hit on his hand, Brunner persuaded O-Jay to let him release the new version of "Another Night" with Patsy (miming Karin's vocals) and O-Jay to replace Shampro as the new "M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy". It was a #18 hit in Germany in 1993 and all over continental Europe, followed by the album "Space Invaders" but then Clive Davis at Arista Records in the USA showed some interest. He had already had success taking Ace of Base to the States and now wanted to do the same with a re-branded Real McCoy. World map showing the location of Europe. ...

A new video was made, another singer Vanessa Mason was found to form a trio and the single shot to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1994. It was also re-released in the United Kingdom, where it had only reached #61 the previous year. This time it was far more successful and within three weeks had climbed to #2, selling more than 312,000 copies. Follow-up "Run Away" also got to #3 in the USA in early 1995 (and #6 in the UK). A freshened-up US album called "Another Night" was released, with some new tracks, also with vocals by Karin Kasar, and Real McCoy were awarded Best New Act at the American Music Awards in 1995.

One More Time

In 1997, Real McCoy returned with a new single and album called "One More Time", this time with Vanessa Mason and Lisa Cork actually performing on the record. The album was co-written with American songwriter/producer Brent Argovitz. The single peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became a Top 20 hit on both Rhythmic/Dance format radio and on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. However, "One More Time" completely missed the UK Top 75. A few other singles were released such as a cover of the Shania Twain hit, "If You're Not In It For Love (I'm Outta Here)" and "I Wanna Come With You". Before long the group disbanded.

Since the split

Although the group decided to stop recording together, a completely new line-up were hired to form a "new" Real McCoy in 1999, much like the producers of 2 Unlimited had done a year earlier. Jason, Gabi and Ginger recorded a brand new version of the 1990 hit "It's On You", which was released only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In 2000, they also released a new song titled "Hey Now". Both singles failed to chart. 2 Unlimited was a eurodance act formed in 1991. ...

ATC was a pop group based in Germany, although the four members each came from different countries—Joseph Joey Murray from New Zealand, Sarah Egglestone from Australia, Tracey Elizabeth Packham from England, and Livio Salvi from Italy. ...

Several "greatest hits" compilations have been issued in recent years, and O-Jay started his own weblog in 2004, in which he finally revealed that the group's biggest hits had in fact been performed by Karin Kasar. He has also speculated that yet another Real McCoy group were being lined up without his permission, but so far they have not been launched. O-Jay still performs under the name Real McCoy and collaborated with Ich Troje to represent Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. The song, "Follow My Heart", failed to qualify for the grand final. Ich Troje is a Polish pop group made up of Michał Wiśniewski, Jacek Łągwa, Magdalena Pokora (aka Magda Femme, 1996-2000), Justyna Majkowska (2000-2003) and Ania Świątczak (2003-2005). ...
