Caroline Crawford (born c. 1949) is an
American rhythm and blues and
disco singer and
actress, who recorded as Carolyn Crawford for
Motown Records in the early 1960s, and for other labels later in her career.
In 1963, at the age of about 13, she won a
talent contest held by
Detroit radio station
WCHB, the prize for which was a contract with Motown Records. She recorded three singles for the label, an unsuccessful first release of "Forget About Me" (Motown 1050) being followed by "My Smile Is Just a Frown (Turned Upside Down)" (Motown 1064), written by
Smokey Robinson.
The record reached # 39 on the
Billboard rhythm and blues chart. She also sang backup vocals for some of the Motown artists. Her final record for Motown, "When Someone's Good To You" (Motown 1070), released in December 1964, failed to chart and her contract was not renewed, although the record later became a favorite among
British soul fans.
