Real McCoy is a German Eurodance and pop music project that was collaboration between producers J.Wind (Jurgen Wind), QuickMix (Frank Hassas) and rapper O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza). In the early days, George Shampro joined as MC Sar as a front for the group. However, it was O-Jay who actually did the rapping and presumably why MC Sar moniker was dropped. The female singer during their successful period was Patsy (Patricia Petersen) although Karin Kasar did supply vocalsThe album "Another Night" (called "Space Invaders" in Europe) spawned multiple dance hits with "Another Night" reaching #2 in the UK and #1 on both the Canada and US Dance Chart. "Runaway" and "Automatic Lover" were a couple more uptempo eurodance track. Their version of Redbone's "Come and get your love" reaching #1 on US Dance chart in 1995. The title track from their next album "One more time" reached #1 on the Canada Dance chart.
