Carolyn Crawford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carolyn Crawford was a vocalist on Motown's Tamla label in the 1960s. She sang backup vocals for many Motown artists before releasing three singles of her own, the most successful being "My Smile Is Just a Frown Turned Upside Down." Never receiving the attention or promotion of larger acts, Crawford left Motown in 1965. She briefly returned to music as a background vocalist and occasional producer of minor disco hits in the 1970s. Crawford was a vocalist on Hamilton Bohannon's 1978 hit "Let's Start The Dance".

Today, both her singles and unreleased session material are popular on bootlegged Motown and soul compilations.
