Kathy Brown
Real Name: Katherine Brown
House vocalist from Charleston, South Carolina.
Brown moved to New York in the late 1960s where she performed in a gospel group with her mother and two sisters.
In the late 1970s, Brown was part of a three-piece R&B group called Sweet Cinnamon, formed by Glen Quick ([a=Glenn Quick]), a musician with [a=The Joneses]. She was introduced to The Joneses by her boyfriend, a bassist in the group, and it was one of their singers, [a=Karen Bernod], who took Brown to nightclubs such as Studio 54.
Brown's first release, Can't Play Around, a [a=Lace] cover, came about when Bernod took her to a late night studio session with [a=David Shaw]; Bernod performs BVs on the record.
Her second release, Turn Me Out, was recorded in a follow up session with Shaw and [a=Cevin Fisher] and went on to become one of most successful records of her career.
Numerous collaborations followed with [a=David Morales], [a=Blaze], [a=Sandy Rivera] and producers in the UK and Europe.
Runs her own label [l=KB Sounds].
