1995 – Germany
La Bouche was a Eurodance act based in Germany, fronted by black American-German singer Melanie Thornton. Their most successful hit “Be My Lover” was top 10 across Europe and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. The group was the brainchild of German producer Frank Farian. In 2000, after Melanie Thornton left the group to pursue a solo career, she was replaced by Natascha Wright with a single called “All I Want”. This track didn’t chart well, though, and the group disbanded. Meanwhile, Melanie Thornton was achieving large sales with “Wonderful Dream” and was chosen by Coca Cola to perform the theme song for a Christmas Commercial. While promoting this,Melanie Thornton was killed in a plane crash near Zurich, Switzerland, November 24th 2001.
