Corona is an Italian Eurodance project. Initially as a band originally formed by the Brazilian-born singer and model Olga Maria de Souza and the producer Francesco “Checco“ Bontempi (. Lee Marrow)
Corona’s first single, “The Rhythm of the Night“, was released in Italy in November 1993 on Roberto Zanetti’s DWA record label and became an instant hit. It featured the voice of the Italian singer Giovanna Bersola, better known by her stage name Jenny B.
It stayed at number 1 on the Italian chart for eight consecutive weeks, but was not released elsewhere until the following year.
A remixed version of the song became a number 2 hit in the United Kingdom in September 1994.
Like several early 1990s Eurodance/Hi-NRG songs that eventually became American hits, “The Rhythm of the Night“ did not become popular in the United States until well after its success had peaked in Europe.
However, by spring 1995, the song was all over American radio and clubs, eventually peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It was later released as a track in the 1995 studio album The Rhythm of the Night.
Lead vocals for the remaining songs in the album were by the Welsh singer Sandy Chambers who also sang on the group’s second album, Walking On Music.
Corona followed up with the 1995 singles “Baby Baby“ and “Try Me Out“, with similar success.
The single “I Don’t Wanna Be a Star“ was a moderate hit. A fifth single, “Do You Want Me“, became a regional hit in discotheques in the Eastern U.S. The Rhythm of the Night album sold modestly, peaking at #2 on the US Top Heatseekers chart and at #154 on the Billboard 200.
