Italian Eurodance act. Produced by Francesco Bontempi AKA Lee Marrow from 1993 to 2000, and by Francesco Conte and Paolo Dughero from 2000 to now.
Also Giorgio Spagna and Ivana Spagna worked in this project.
The first success of Corona was the song "The Rhythm Of The Night" in 1993/94. It is now known that Giovanna Bersola was the vocalist for this track and that Olga Maria De Souza was lipsyncing the words on stage and in the video.
All the other singles of Corona, up to 1998, were sung by Sandra Chambers AKA Sandy.
The song "Baby Baby" was a cover of "Babe Babe" originally performed by Joy & Joyce in 1991, and itself based on the chorus of "K.I.S.S.I.N.G" performed by Siedah Garrett in 1988.
The single "Try Me Out" had already been released in 1993 by Lee Marrow featuring Charme AKA Annerley Gordon.
The song "I Don't Wanna Be A Star" was heavily based on the song "Can't Fake The Feeling" originally performed by Geraldine Hunt in 1980.
Recent singles of Corona credits Olga Maria De Souza as vocalist and author, but that may just be another way to cover the lipsync scam once again.
"The Rhythm Of The Night" was based on the verses of "Save Me" performed by Say When! in 1987.

March 14, 2020To say Olga isn't the voice in The Rhythm of The Night is a downright lie.
Giovanna Bersola's attempt at an Acapella of the track, sounds nothing like the real deal and it's not even the same key, the few times Bersola performed the song, it was playback through and through while on the other had, Olga did it live countless times and still does reaching every high note, with her voice overpowering the backing track, she even has that slightly raspy Carioca accent to her English that an Italian just can't emulate.
Olga obviously isn't the voice of Baby Baby and all that but the Rhythm is 100% her and I'm very glad she stands by her truth.
I just wish Lee Marrow came forward and laid the subject to rest back in the day.
