Real McCoy

Real McCoy is a German Eurodance group who are best known for their '90s singles "Another Night" and "Run Away". The group originally comprised of rapper and producer Olaf "O-Jay" Jeglitza, singer Patsy Petersen and rapper Shampro

As "M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy", they released an album, On The Move, along with the single "Another Night". The single was re-released in 1993 with the album Space Invaders. The group was re-branded as Real McCoy with singer Vanessa Mason joining for another release of "Another Night" which hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1994. The follow-up singles were "Automatic Lover" and "Run Away". An American album called Another Night was released, with some new tracks and vocals by Karin Kasar. Real McCoy won Best New Act at the American Music Awards in 1995.

In 1995, Petersen left was replaced by Lisa Cork. In 1997, Real McCoy returned with a new single and album called "One More Time", with Mason and Cork actually performing on the record. Other singles include a cover of the Shania Twain's "If You're Not In It For Love (I'm Outta Here)" and "I Wanna Come With You". The group disbanded soon after.

A new line-up was hired to form a "new" Real McCoy in 1999 with Jason, Gabi and Ginger recorded a brand new version of the 1990 hit "It's On You" still featuring O-Jay's raps. In 2000, they also released "Hey Now".

Several "greatest hits" compilations have been released and O-Jay performs under the name Real McCoy.
