Alex Brown was an LA based singer who was on sessions by the likes of the Whispers [[Soul Clock) and Ray Charles [[Tangerine). She cut a few tracks in her own right & initially had a 45 out on Tangerine. She also worked over an extended period with Monk Higgins, initially working with him on a project that resulted in her LP & 45 on the Sundi label [[1970).
She then did a lot of session singing before cutting another solo 45 that escaped on Roxbury [[76). Just before that 45 escaped she'd worked with Monk Higgins on a movie soundtrack album [[Sheba Baby).
Towards the end of the 70's / early 80's she was singing back-up for Motown acts. Around that time she cut a track; "JUMP" that only ever escaped on a BBC Radioplay compilation LP [[a 1985 UK release). That album included cuts made for Motown by the likes of Gwen Owens, Ada Dyer, Phyllis St James and more.
Anyone know if Alex Brown was signed to Motown as an act in her own right and can confirm that the track on this album [["JUMP") was indeed cut for Motown.
