1) Maxine Brown is an American soul singer.
2) Maxine Brown was an American country music singer and member of The Browns.
1) Maxine Ella Brown (born 18 August 1939, in Kingstree, South Carolina) is an American soul singer.
She began singing as a child, performing with two New York based gospel groups when she was a teenager. In 1960, she signed with the small Nomar record label, who released the smooth soul ballad "All in My Mind" late in the year. The single became a hit, climbing to number two on the R&B charts (number 19 pop), and it was quickly followed by "Funny", which peaked at number three. Brown was poised to become a star, and she moved to ABC-Paramount in 1962, but left the label within a year and signed to the New York based, uptown soul label, Wand, in 1963.
Brown recorded her best work at Wand, having a string of moderate hits for the label over the next three years. Among these were the Carole King / Gerry Goffin song "Oh No Not My Baby", which reached number 24 on the pop charts; "It's Gonna Be Alright"; and several duets with Chuck Jackson. However, the label focused much of their attention on Dionne Warwick, leaving Maxine Brown to toil in semi-obscurity.
In 1969, she left Wand and signed first with Commonwealth United and then Avco Records, but her later recordings met with little commercial success. Despite her lack of hits, Brown is acknowledged as one of the finest R&B vocalists of her time, capable of delivering soul, jazz, and pop with equal aplomb.
2) Maxine Brown (April 27, 1931 – January 21, 2019) was an American country music singer who was originally a member of the successful 1950s trio the Browns, before a brief solo career.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A million to one
My wildest dreams and every desire
Rolled into one
I only know I have to make you mine
Whatever it takes
I don't mindI'll pay any price
And I'll make any sacrifice for you
I'll make it for you
You're one in a million
A million to one
If there's a boy created by me
You are the one
And any part of me
You wanna change
I'm yours to rearrange
I'll try to make you see
That you're one in a million for me
Oh yeah
I can't be wrong
I feel it so strong
I said underneath the sun
You're the only one for me
well it's alright
well it's alright
You're one in a millionThat certain smile
That certain look
That got you one kiss
Could drive you wild
I only know I've got to make you mine
Whatever it takes
I don't mind
I'll pay any price
And I'll make any sacrifice for you
You're one in a million

Maxine Brown's song "I'm In Love" beautifully encapsulates the intense feelings of devotion and admiration that come with being deeply infatuated with someone who feels extraordinarily special. The opening lines, "One in a million / A million to one," set the tone by emphasizing how rare and exceptional the object of her affection is. This conveys a sentiment that transcends the mundane experiences of love; it portrays the lover as a unique entity who stands out among a sea of people, making them irreplaceable. The mention of "wildest dreams and every desire / Rolled into one" highlights how this love encompasses everything the singer has ever wanted, creating an overwhelming sense of longing that suggests her life is radically enhanced by this person’s presence.
The chorus reveals a profound commitment to making this individual hers, no matter the cost. Lines like "Whatever it takes / I don't mind" and "I'll pay any price" signal a selfless dedication and willingness to undergo significant sacrifices for love. This deep-seated determination illustrates the nature of true love, where personal desires are often eclipsed by the need to nurture and protect that bond. The repetition of "I'll make it for you" reinforces the idea that her actions are motivated by love, implying that she would go to great lengths to secure their connection, underscoring the emotional stakes involved in her pursuit.
As the song progresses, the theme of transformation and acceptance takes center stage with the line, "And any part of me / You wanna change / I'm yours to rearrange." This indicates a willingness to adapt and evolve, which is a part of many romantic relationships. The singer expresses an openness to embracing change in herself for the sake of love, acknowledging that love can sometimes require compromise. This speaks to the depth of her feelings, as the desire to be “rearranged” suggests that she cherishes the idea of being a better person through the influence of her beloved. It also signifies an understanding that love's complexities can necessitate flexibility and growth beyond one's current self.
Ultimately, the recurring motifs of singular importance—"You're one in a million"—reinforce the idea that true love is something rare and worth fighting for. The sense of the individual being "the only one for me" culminates in an overwhelming affirmation of devotion, both in the chaotic passion of newfound love and in the steady commitment required to maintain it. With expressions such as "That certain smile / That certain look," Brown captures the intoxicating details that make a love interest so enchanting. The combination of thrill, deep emotional resonance, and the desire to claim and cherish this love paints a poignant picture of what it means to be completely and utterly in love—a sentiment that resonates universally, making the song a timeless exploration of romantic fervor.
