Maxine Weldon
Featured Inductee
Native Oklahoman Maxine Weldon was reared in Bakersfield, California, where she developed an early liking for country music but heeded her parents and took up nursing professionally. Love took her to Honolulu, where she abruptly decided to become a singer and began auditioning in clubs. She was eventually successful enough at this to give up nursing and perform full time.
