Maxine Jones

Maxine Jones is a founding member of the R&B group En Vogue. She was put together with Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, and Dawn Robinson to form the group in 1989 after a talent search in Oakland by producers Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy. She was the last member to join the group as it was originally envisioned as a trio. En Vogue released three platinum albums—Born to Sing (1990), Funky Divas (1992), and EV3 (1997)—and had multiple #1 R&B hits including “Hold On,” “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” and “Don’t Let Go (Love)” among others.

She appeared with En Vogue on the television shows In Living Color, Roc, and A Different World in 1993. In 1994, En Vogue appeared on the Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” by Salt-N-Pepa. After the release of the Masterpiece Theatre album in 2000, Jones left En Vogue but continued to work off-and-on with the group. She released her solo single “Didn’t I” in 2014.
