musicology #143

SpectrumOfLove #3

(Maxine Brown - Heaven In Your Arms)

LISTEN

we've heard two from the fellas and now its time for the ladies to step into the arena...and who better than Miss Maxine Brown, Soul singer supreme, who's delicious voice could charm the birds straight out of the trees....

for themusicologist Maxine Brown is one of the greatest Soul singers never known, (and there are MANY), and by that I mean commercially..her phrasing and timing is perfection ... as witnessed on this piece of early, (1961), Big Apple flavoured Soul from the NoMar label. it's not the first time Maxine has featured on themusicologist, having already laid one, (musicology #39), down on an earlier duets theme with Wand label mate Chuck Jackson but this time she's centre stage
