Miquel Brown (born circa 1945) is a Canadian actress and Disco/Soul singer from the 1970s and '80s most popular for the songs 'Close to Perfection' and the Hi-NRG songs 'So Many Men, So Little Time' and "He's A Saint, He's A Sinner" (both now considered vintage gay anthems) produced in London by Ian Levine.
Also known for her boyish cornrows hairstyle, which she altered into a more womanly cut after some confusion regarding her gender (public, not personal). Originally named Michael, her parents changed the spelling (but retained the pronunciation) so as not to confuse her with a male producer and children's author of the time (Michael Brown). She is the mother of actress/singer Sinitta. She is the step sister of disco singer Amii Stewart. She was born in Montreal and reared in Vancouver, Canada, although some sources list her birthplace as Detroit, Michigan. Her grandfather died when she was 9, her grandmother died when she was 11, and she ran away from her aunt who took her in. As a teenager, Miquel frequented nightclubs, influencing her dream of becoming a performer. As a young woman, Miquel read Medicine at George Washington University in Washington D.C., during which time she married Anthony Blackett and had twin daughters Greta and Sinitta Renet Malone (popularly known as Sinitta, of 'So Macho' and 'Toy Boy' fame) in Seattle, Washington.
