Brownstone

Brownstone was a Grammy Award nominated female R&B group popular during the mid-1990s. They are best known for the 1995 hit single, “If You Love Me”. They also had some success with the singles “Grapevyne”, and “I Can’t Tell You Why”, a song originally recorded by the Eagles. The three original members of Brownstone were Nicole “Nicci” Gilbert, Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell and Monica “Mimi” Doby. The group was founded in Los Angeles after the three singers met each other after going to different auditions around the city. They formed the group, and less than a year later were signed to Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music Record Label. They recorded their debut album, From the Bottom Up which spawned the hit “If You Love Me”. In 1995 the band was rewarded with a Grammy nomination and a Billboard Music Award.
