I've always been aware of Loch Lomond, which was a pretty decent hit at the time. I've just listened to S'posin' which showed she had a very decent voice. That point about her stage presence could explain why she remained, effectively, a one-hit wonder. If she didn't make it big at the time, there's no particularly reason why she should go through a massive retrospective reappraisal. However, she clearly had the vocal talent to have been bigger.

i can't see how stage presence would affect the amount of listeners on last.fm, especially since i doubt anyone who would've actually been able to see her in her heyday is on last.fm. regardless, i think maxine's great, she had a wonderful voice. definitely seems like she's too unheard of, though, no matter what the reasoning.

Judging from the number of listeners, she may very well be the most underrated and unjustfully forgotten jazz singer ever :(
