Brownstone’s 1995 debut album went platinum and the group was even nominated for a Grammy award. Sadly, the trio only released two studio albums and they haven’t been seen on the music charts since 1997. This is a story of internal conflicts, line-up changes, and an untimely passing.

The Brownstone story is proof that you need more than talent if you want longevity in the music business. They were truly talented and gifted vocalist. Maxee’s death NEVER sat right with me. Even listening to this woman try to explain it sounds ridiculous on its face. I will always think something fishy happened there, but that’s in Gods hands now. You just don’t hear this kind of Real singing anymore and that’s really sad for not just the industry, but for us the listeners🥰
