MAXINE BROWN
ONE IN A MILLION
Although she never had many hits, Maxine Brown was one of the most underrated soul and R&B vocalists of the '60s. During the '60s she released a series of singles for Nomar and Wand, with only a couple of songs -- "All in My Mind," "Funny," "Something You Got," "Oh No Not My Baby" -- managing to become either pop or R&B hits.
Despite her lack of hits, Brown is acknowledged as one of the finest R&B vocalists of her time, capable of delivering soul, jazz and pop with equal aplomb. In 1960, she signed with the small Normar label, and moved to ABC-Paramount in 1962, but she left the label within a year, without scoring any hits.
She signed to the New York-based, uptown soul label Wand in 1963. Brown recorded her best work at Wand, having a string of moderate hits for the label over the next three years. [Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide]
Here's her 1966 Wand single of "One In A Million" and "Anything You Do Is Alright." The topside is one cool slice of Northern Soul that sounds like a re-write of Len Barry’s hit tune “1-2-3.”
