Melanie Janene Thornton


 Melanie Janene Thornton (May 13, 1967 – November 24, 2001)

She was the lead singer of the group La Bouche from 1994 to 2000, alongside American rapper Lane McCray. Their two most successful singles, "Sweet Dreams" and "Be My Lover", were released in 1994 and 1995 respectively. After leaving the group, Thornton began a solo career and found success primarily in European countries before her death in 2001. Her solo songs include "Love How You Love Me", "Heartbeat", "Makin' Oooh Oooh (Talking About Love)" and "Wonderful Dream (Holidays are Coming)". On the night of November 24, 2001, Thornton was one of the 24 people who died in the plane crash of Crossair Flight 3597 near Zürich, Switzerland, at the age of 34. The main cause of the accident was the Captain descending the plane too early causing it to crash into a forest area when it got too close to the ground. Thornton had given a performance in Leipzig and two hours later she took the flight from Berlin to Zürich for upcoming radio and TV appearances. Thornton is buried at Mount Pleasant Memorial Gardens in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
