If you’re a fan of 1990s technopop dance music, you’re probably familiar with La Bouche, an American duo based in Germany. Melanie Thornton and rapper Lane McCray produced a scintillating CD with Sweet Dreams in 1995. The group would go on to release two more dance music CDs, but neither one is as good as Sweat Dreams. Around 2000, Melanie Thornton embarked on a solo career. On November 24, 2001 Melanie Thornton died in a plane crash outside of Zurich. Such a sad fate for such a talented singer! Sweet dreams, Melanie. GRADE: A
