Maureen Sandstrom Steele (born July 22, 1958)[1] is an American singer and songwriter.
After signing a recording contract with Motown, and notably becoming one of the very few white artists that were signed to the label at that time, Steele officially released her first song in 1984, "Boys Will Be Boys", which was featured as part of The Flamingo Kid film soundtrack, a romantic comedy starring Matt Dillon.
[2] During that same year, Steele released her sole studio album, Nature of the Beast, which was produced by Steve Barri and her brother Bobby Sandstrom, the former of whom was the vice-president of A&R at Motown at that time, and oversaw big-selling releases by Lionel Richie and Rick James, among others.
[3] Steele also contributed the track "She'll Burn You" to the post-apocalyptic science fiction-comedy film Radioactive Dreams (1985).
In 1989, she married Mike Volante, and retired from the music industry in order to start a family.
