About Kathy 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 ([[artist:Glenn Quick]]), a musician with [[artist:The Joneses]]. She was introduced to The Joneses by her boyfriend, a bassist in the group, and it was one of their singers, [[artist:Karen Bernod]], who took Brown to nightclubs such as Studio 54.
Brown's first release, Can't Play Around, a [[artist:Lace]] cover, came about when Bernod took her to a late night studio session with [[artist:David Shaw]]; Bernod performs BVs on the record.
Her second release, Turn Me Out, was recorded in a follow up session with Shaw and [[artist:Cevin Fisher]] and went on to become one of most successful records of her career.
Numerous collaborations followed with [[artist:David Morales]], [[artist:Blaze]], [[artist:Sandy Rivera]] and producers in the UK and Europe.
Runs her own label [[label:KB Sounds]].
