Career
Daniels was born Gladys Lynch in Stepney, London, an elder sister of singer and entertainer, Kenny Lynch. She was one of thirteen children.
Her first recognition as a singer came from winning a local talent contest, at the age of 14, in a Stepney cinema. Local recognition lead to a first singing job with a semi-professional band led by a Canning Town grocer until another talent competition organized by the Daily Sketch and sponsored by bandleader Ted Heath. A long residency (1954-56) with bandleader Denny Boyce followed at The Orchid Room in Purley. At Boyce's suggestion she changed her stage name and through their regular Radio Luxembourg broadcasts she gained a wider audience and the opportunity to record for the Oriole label.
Personal life
She married Charlie Daniels in 1950, and had one daughter together. Charlie Daniels died in 1988. Maxine Daniels died in Romford in 2003, aged 72.
