Maxine Brown was born in New York on August 18, 1939. She started out singing with gospel music groups, the Angelairs and Royaltones. When she was only 21, she wrote and recorded her debut single, All In My Mind, which became a hit on both the R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Further hits ensued, despite a steady change of labels into the late '60s.

Treasure Island Oldies is pleased to present one of the finest R&B voices of her time, Maxine Brown. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either All In My Mind or Oh No Not My Baby. I'll play the winning song on next week's show.
