December 9th, 2025
The Kelly Alexander Show

Lane McCray of La Bouche joins Kelly Alexander to share how the hit dance duo of himself and Melanie Thornton came to be back in the 90’s. Lane also shares some rarely heard before stories about how their amazingly successful song “Be My Lover” was created and the meaning behind it. He also shares what it was like to lose Melanie after she passed away in a plane crash and why he had to step away from music for several years to regroup before coming back to continue her legacy through La Bouche. Lane talks about his musical influences, why the 90’s is truly its own genre of music and why he would team up with Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Rowland on a remake of “Be My Lover.” If you’ve ever wanted to know what the ride was like for La Bouche during the 90’s and what is happening with their music & performances today, this interview will answers those questions and much more. Enjoy the conversation and thank you for listening!
