Maureen
Gray began singing at the age of 3 and performed solo in a children's
program at Carnegie Hall at the age of 5. Discovered by songwriter/record
producer, John Madara, at the young age of 12, she went on to record
and achieve success with regional hits such as "Today's The Day,"
"Crazy Over You," "I Don't Want To Cry" and "Dancing
The Strand," written by John Madara and partner, Dave White.
Maureen
went on to work with such greats as arranger, Paul Buckmaster, and
sang with Billy Preston, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, David Bowie,
John Lennon and Yoko Ono, just to name a few. She continues
her career as a singer/songwriter, going by the name "Girl,"
which originated with a group she formed called "Girl Talk."

CD contains valuable information, when available, on the musicians
who played on each song, the year the song was recorded and the studio

And The Juniors), THE FLY (Chubby Checker), YOU DON'T OWN ME (Leslie
Gore) and 1-2-3 (Len Barry, who also co-wrote the song with Madara
