Maywood was a Dutch singing duo consisting of sisters Aaltje ("Alie") and Doetje ("Edith") de Vries. They each took on a stage name for the project: Alie, a blonde, (songwriting, background and harmony vocals, keyboards) became "Alice May" (Alice Maywood) and the dark-haired Edith (lead vocals) became Caren Wood.
The duo were active as recording artists between 1978 and 1992, and their best known songs are "Late At Night" (a #1 hit in the Netherlands, and a significant chart hit in several other nations), "Give Me Back My Love", and "Rio". All but one of their singles were written solely by Alice May; "Kom In Mijn Armen", a #33 hit from 1989, was co-written by May and
Ik wil alles met je delen" (I Want to Share Everything With You), which finished in fifteenth place. The group split up in 1995,[1] but re-formed for a series of Gerard Joling concerts with whom they performed a medley of their hit songs including "Mother, How Are You Today" (it became one of their most popular songs in Indonesia), in October 2013.[2][3][4]
In 2006 Alice announced her return without her sister Caren, but with an unknown artist named Rose Louwers. Their first performance was in Antwerp, Belgium, in December 2006.[5]
