Maywood was a Dutch pop music duo consisting of sisters Aaltje ("Alie") and Doetje ("Edith") de Vries. Alie contributed as "Alice May" (Alice Maywood) with songwriting, backing vocals, and keyboards, while Edith took the role of lead singer under the name Caren Wood.
Their career spanned from 1978 until 1992, producing well-known tracks such as "Late At Night," which reached number one in the Netherlands, along with "Give Me Back My Love" and "Rio." The majority of their songs were penned by Alice May; notably, "Kom In Mijn Armen" (which peaked at #33 in 1989) was co-written with Aad Klaris. Production duties were primarily handled by Pim Koopman until 1986, after which Klaris and Ton Scherpenzeel also took on production roles. Representing the Netherlands at the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest held in Zagreb, they performed "Ik wil alles met je delen," finishing in fifteenth place. The sisters parted ways in 1995 but reunited in 2013 for performances alongside Gerard Joling, delivering favorites such as "Mother, How Are You Today," a song that enjoyed popularity in Indonesia.
In 2006, Alice Maywood revived the Maywood name by collaborating with Rose Louwers, launching their act with a show in Antwerp, Belgium.
