To 60s and 70s Soul aficionados, Maxayn Lewis should need little introduction. As a tremendous session vocalist, her name appears on the credits of innumerable records from the 1960s onwards.
In the late 1960s, she was recruited to join The Ikettes for an Ike and Tina Turner world tour.
In the early 1970s, she and her husband formed Maxayn – a funk/rock/soul quartet with psychedelic leanings.
Maxayn’s eponymous debut boasted two impressive funk-rock Rolling Stones covers (‘Gimme Shelter’, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’) alongside some superb band originals.
Mindful was perhaps funkier than its predecessor, including a reworking of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘Check Out Your Mind’ (which Maxayn performed on Soul Train).
The band’s third and final album continued to blend infectious funk workouts with soul ballads to great effect.
