Maxine Jones

Maxine Jones (born January 16, 1962^[1] in Paterson, New Jersey) is one of the original members of the R&B singing group En Vogue. She originally left the group in 2001 to spend time with her daughter. Jones rejoined En Vogue on a permanent basis in the third quarter of 2004. As of 2008^[update], she is a current member.

Voice/Vocal Range

As a member of En Vogue, Maxine was credited as the member with the "Motown" voice. It seemed as perfect reasoning, since she stated in many interviews that her musical influences: Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, and Gladys Knight all had musical careers although some were not Motown artists.

Maxine has a wide vocal range, spanning between 3-5 octaves,^{[citation needed]} making her quite versatile within the group. In group harmonies, Maxine usually sings the "bottom" or the lowest key in the harmony.
