Great things have been predicted for British vocalist and keyboardist Sam Brown. Her debut album, Stop!, released in 1987, reached the Top Four on the British music charts, sold more than two-and-a-half million copies, and included two hit singles, "Stop" and "This Feeling." Brown, however, has failed to match the album's success with her subsequent releases April Moon, 43 Minutes, The Kissing Game, and Box. The daughter of classical vocalist Vicki Brown, Brown began her musical career at the age of 12 when she sang background vocals on the Small Faces' album 78 in the Shade. By the age of 20, she had sung with Steve Marriott, Sade, Spandau Ballet, and Barclay James Harvest. Brown sang harmony on the Pink Floyd album The Division Bell, and joined the band on their world tour in 1994. Following her return to England in April 1995, she performed with the Jools Holland Big Band. She subsequently performed with Holland's R&B Orchestra in the summer of 1996. Despite the success of her debut album, Brown's problems began with her second album, April Moon, which yielded no singles. Her mother's death in 1991 left an emotional void that was only filled when she recorded the deeply personal 43 Minutes, the following year. When A&M refused to release the album, Brown sued the label for rights to the tapes. Victorious after a long legal battle, she released the album in the United Kingdom on her own label Pod Music. In July 1996, Brown played organ on a track for the multi-artist album Reaching Out, with proceeds going to the Nordiff-Robbins Music Therapy Center. The following November, she embarked on her first solo tour with her father, Joe Brown, and the Subway Soopa Stringz. ---Craig Harris, Rovi

1988 debut album from the daughter of bandleader Joe Brown and British vocalist extraordinaire that yielded the hits "Stop" and "This Feeling" in her native England. The album made it to the Top 4 on the UK charts and sold more than 2.5 million copies. Polygram. 2004. --- Product description

This listener first "discovered" Sam Brown when I had the good fortune to go to London in November 2002 and attend the Concert for George at the Royal Albert Hall.

I knew of her peripherally, because she had done backing vocals for George's remake of "My Sweet Lord" in 2000. But that's all I knew. Until the night of the concert. Sam blew away the audience with her version of George's "Horse To Water." Here's this little British woman belting out this song with such power, emotion and a great sense of fun.

I've since managed to pick up all of her solo CDs. Stop! is the first, recorded in 1988. It is a great mix of soul and pop, and shows off Sam's amazing voice in a number of ways. She is playful, yearning and strong...and all are totally believable.

It's a shame that she's never broken into the market in the U.S., because a lot of people are missing out on a fine fine singer. I heartily recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates good vocalists. ---Steve S., amazon.com
