Lane McCray burst onto the international music scene in the mid and late 1990s with the late Melanie Thornton.  They conquered the charts of the 1990s.  La Bouche earned numerous awards, including the German Grammy, the Echo (for Dance Song of the Year in 1995), Golden Europa (for Best Duo or Group 1995), nominated for “Best Dance Video” at the second annual MTV-Europe Music Awards, and was nominated for three awards at the MTV VMAs in 1996. After taking Europe by storm, La Bouche took the lead with their undeniably powerful sound in the United States. With their hip and trendy style, La Bouche became a permanent fixture in modern music and entertainment. A household name by the late ‘90s, whether driving in your car, watching a movie or television, or attending a major sporting event, if you have been on planet Earth, you have heard La Bouche’s infectious melodies. Their success garnered La Bouche motion picture and soundtrack credits in productions including “Night at the Roxbury”, “Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion”, and MTV’s “Joe’s Apartment”.

After Melanie Thornton’s tragic passing in 2001, La Bouche released “In Your Life” in honor of Melanie.

McCray has continued to honor Melanie at every live show, radio, tv, podcast and other media by keeping the La Bouche brand strong with featured rotating vocalists: Dana Rayne, Kayo Shekoni (Le Click), Kim Sanders (Culture Beat), Sophie Cairo & Nicole Arz.
