Her father is American and her mother is Japanese. In 1969, age 18, she made her debut as a solo singer in Japan with "Sometimes Like a Child Without a Mother" (lyrics: Shuji Terayama, music: Michiru Tanaka). It suddenly became a million hits in Japan, and she participated in NHK's KOHAKU annual song contest at the end of the year,and she became famous singer in Japan. But next year in 1970, she declared turn to Rock Singer, and next in 1971 she released an album "Carmen Maki / Blues Creation" with "the Blues Creation" led by guitarist Kazuo Takeda. The collaboration ended with the release of only one album. On this album, she made it clear that she was a Rock Singer, not a folk singer. In 1972, she met guitarist Hirofumi Kasuga who was 18 years old at the time and formed "Carmen Maki & OZ". Three years later, they released their first album in 1975, their second "Closed Town" in 1976, "Carmen Maki & OZ III" in 1977, disbanded in October 1977, and released their live show as "Carmen Maki & OZ LAST LIVE" in 1978. The OZ’s first album attracted attention due to Maki's name recognition in Japan, singing ability and charisma, and became an unusual million hit for a Japan rock album of that time. OZ played more modern rock in the 70's than “Blues Creation”, with heavy, hard, and progressive songwriting rather than the sound of Kazuo Takeda's blues-rock tendencies, partly due to Hirofumi Kasuga composition. It's surprising that OZ was already born in Japan before the NWOBHM movement and Metal genre were born in the World. It was very unfortunate that they couldn't have the opportunity to be released in Europe and the United States, for world market at that time, ended up buried only in domestic sales Japan. In Japan Maki has continued to influence the power vocal styles of later “Show-ya / keiko Terada” and current Japanese female Metal Bands Vocal style. Keiko Terada is a fan of Carmen Maki, and their song “I am storm / ARASHI” is a famous answer to OZ's “I am wind/ KAZE”. “Japanese Female Metal Rock history has Started with the arrival of “Queen” Carmen Maki..”
"I am the Wind" (1975) by Carmen Maki & OZ Lyrics: Maki Annette Lovelace(Carmen Maki) Composer: Hirofumi Kasuga (Rough English translation of Japanese lyrics) In this city, so many sad things had happen to me. So I thought I'd go on a trip somewhere far away. Stuffing memories into my pocket, I got on the train alone. Just like the scenery that runs through the window of the train, my life until yesterday also runs through. I say goodbye to the city I will never go back to again Oh, I cried so much that my tears have dried up. From tomorrow on, I'll be as light as the wind, So I'll live as freely as the wind. It's easy to be alone without restraint. Ahh Oh, close my eyes, close my mind, close my book. Oh, I'm the wind, I'm like the wind, I'm going to continue my never-ending journey. Ahh Yhaaaaaa Oh, hold me until you feel like it. Say goodbye to you after sleeping with you Anyway, I'm a carefree woman, and I'm a free windy woman. Ahh Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu A deep, pale purple mist flows through the depths of my mind. Does someone tell me where I'm going to go? I am alone on a street corner in a strange city. I drift in the middle of the waves of many people in the city Where am I Going to go Tomorrow Oh this is like a never-ending journey for me.
日本のロッククイーン🎸カルメン・マキの実力を証明した記念すべき名盤ですね~☺️🎶🙏❤
女性シンガーでジャニス・ジョプリンを目指した人は数多いるだろうけど、唯一和製ジャニス・ジョプリンになれたのはカルメン・マキだけだと思う。
@@あいうえおさん-y1h アン・ルイスも対抗?して結構カッコ良かったんですよね~☺️🎶🎸
マキの声を聞くと一気にあの頃の事が甦る!OZが解散した後も追っかけてた❗️鵠沼でフェスやった時帰りにマックでマキにあったなぁ!骨折ったとかで松葉杖だった!ナイトストーカーの頃!
レコードで若い頃買っておじさんになってCDで買って今持ってます。昨日酒場で見た女が最高に好きでした。今聞くたびレべル最高なロック凄いな。
心地よい リズム隊の気持ち良さ❤️
当時のレコードも復刻のCDも持ってます。
今でも時々聴いてますよ。
あと、四人囃子もね😁
Me Too, I have all albms.🐣
They are the great band
which gave me who was a high school student a guitar.
Sonido milenario .....exquisito ...puro rock.....internacional....extrañable....muy buena. ...voz......ya..nunca..mas....saludos...viva la cultura....amen.

(Rough English translation of Japanese lyrics)
In this city, so many sad things had happen to me.
So I thought I'd go on a trip somewhere far away.
Stuffing memories into my pocket, I got on the train alone.
Just like the scenery that runs through the window of the train,
my life until yesterday also runs through.
I say goodbye to the city I will never go back to again
Oh, I cried so much that my tears have dried up.
From tomorrow on, I'll be as light as the wind,
So I'll live as freely as the wind.
It's easy to be alone without restraint. Ahh
Oh, close my eyes, close my mind, close my book.
Oh, I'm the wind, I'm like the wind,
I'm going to continue my never-ending journey. Ahh Yhaaaaaa
Oh, hold me until you feel like it.
Say goodbye to you after sleeping with you
Anyway, I'm a carefree woman, and I'm a free windy woman. Ahh
Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu
A deep, pale purple mist flows through the depths of my mind.
Does someone tell me where I'm going to go?
I am alone on a street corner in a strange city.
I drift in the middle of the waves of many people in the city
Where am I Going to go Tomorrow
Oh this is like a never-ending journey for me.
What a band concise vocals n a tight punchy melodic back up !
