Miquel Brown - Close to Perfection (35th Anniversary Edition) (2020)

Canadian singer Miquel Brown was raised in Vancouver. Her parents wanted her to be a doctor, but she had entertainment on the brain and frequented nightclubs without their knowledge. On summer break from the University of Washington, where she was studying medicine, she got her first break. She auditioned for Hair in Detroit and landed the part of Sheila and toured with the cast all over the U.S.

In the early '70s, Brown relocated to Britain and gigged as a singer, also landing small parts in movies like Rollerball and musicals such as Mardi Gras. She recorded her first single "The First Time Around," in the late '70s. After that, Brown issued a number of efforts on TSR, Record Shack, Hot Productions, Polydor, and other labels. Her single "So Many Men, So Little Time," produced by Ian Levine, scored well in Great Britain. Before that she enjoyed minor hits with "Symphony of Love" in 1978 and for Record Shack Records "He's a Saint, He's a Sinner," "Black Leather," and "Close to Perfection." ~ Andrew Hamilton
