One Hit Wonders

Real McCoy, originally known as MC Sar & The Real McCoy, was a German Eurodance group, who had a hit in the 1990s.
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.

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.

At the semi-final Eurovision Song Contest 2006, O-Jay represented Poland with the band Ich Troje and the song “Follow My Heart”. It did not qualify for the grand final.

It has been rumoured since 2005 that Real McCoy has been re-formed with new members Marcel Brell and Trixie; a new version of the group which does not include any of the original Real McCoy members.
