I love how far the two of you have come. Amber came on the scene and taught Jay how to appreciate REAL music. At that point, Jay had only loved rap and didn't know how to Listen to music. Jay's ear had no sophistication because it had lacked listening to melodies. Amber lead him by the hand and made him actually listen to the music. Jay, on the other hand, gave Amber confidence. When Amber first showed up on the channel, she was kind of shy. Amber didn't know if people would accept her opinions of the music. Jay took her hand and made her learn that her opinion counts, especially to him. This is now The Jay and Amber show and they each are fully credited for their half of the show. Neither could carry the show alone. "Sniff, sniff...I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying! It gets you right in the heart when they are all grown up."

@@shaunfoulk7049 You're welcome! I have many more suggestions!!!! Here is just a few!!! Such as a wonderful one hit wonder, MARIA MULDAUR “Midnight at the Oasis”. And others such as another strong female voice featured by a Spanish group Mocedades and the song is "Eres Tu" recorded in 1973 a one hit wonder but what a GREAT song and what a voice!!! It is easy to find the video on RU-vid!!!! I don't understand a word of it but it sure sounds wonderful!!!!!!!!! If you were around back, then you know this song but may have forgotten the title and group. I was in college at the time. I also think Jay and Amber would love “El Paso” as it tells a story, and it shows off the incredible range of Marty Robbin’s voice! Also I hope they try a one hit wonder from the 60’s “Pied Piper” by Chrispian St. Peters, Great song!!!! They should try Lenny Welch, “Since I fell for You” and Al Martino “Mary in the Morning” he played Johnny Fontane in the movie “The Godfather”, a smooth classic!!!! I also keep offering up the Great Dionne Warwick, they should check her out too!!!! Hits such as “Do you know the way to San Jose” and “I say a little prayer for you”, and many more!!!! Another one I have suggested in the past is Gene Pitney, he had a slew of hits, like “It hurts to be in Love”, “24 hours from Tulsa” and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”. The movie of the same name was made in1962 Super GREAT cast!!!!! The song by Gene Pitney was supposed to be for the movie, but they got it done too late. For those who happen to hear the song first it mentions two shots rang out one shot made Liberty fall, those of us who have seen the movie understand that line. I am trying not to spoil it for Amber and Jay. A song and a suggestion for the movie channel!!!!!!

@seldomheardsongs 9 дней назад

The followup to "Band" was "Bring the Boys Home" which was a poignant plea for the military men during the Vietnam War era to come home safely. It too, is worth a listen, not only for her vocal ability but to feel a little of the angst that many felt when their loved ones were fighting a terrible war. Freda's younger sister was a member of a later (73-77) incarnation of the Supremes.

"Norman Whitfield and Barett Strong Are here to make everything right with you Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too Are here to make it all ok with you"" Find the original on RU-vid (Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs Tears). Its a one-take video of sheer brilliance, including Billys mate Woody playing trumpet live on video for the first time and bricking it. Watch it and don't dare tell me your not impressed..

H-D-H started up two major labels in the wake of leaving Motown. Freda's label was Invictus, also the home of the Chairmen of the Board ("Give Me Just a Little More Time"). The other label was Hot Wax, which featured the Honey Cone ("Want Ads," "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show") and 100 Proof Aged in Soul ("Somebody's Been Sleeping"); also the Flaming Ember ("Westbound Number 9").

Freda Payne was signed to the Invictus record label started by Eddie and Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier. Holland-Dozier-Holland were Motown's greatest writing and production team, with The Supremes and The Four Tops their top acts. But H-D-H didn't feel they were getting a fair shake from Motown so they left and set up shop elsewhere in Detroit. "Band Of Gold" is one of the best Non-Motown Motown songs ever. And they probably had some of the Funk Brothers sneak over to the studio; it sure sounds like them. Some other H-D-H post Motown songs are Chairmen Of The Board "Pay To The Piper" and Flaming Ember "Westbound Number 9."

@GC-sf7kx 8 дней назад

Friday and hers sister began as backing singers at Motown records. Freda sang as such on a lot of songs written by Holland Dozier Holland as this one was. When HDH left Motown to set up Invictus Records in the early seventies, Freda went with them. This song launched Invictus Records. Lamont Dozier went on to have a great solo career releasing a number of studio albums and co writing with the likes of Phil Colins. You need to check out some of Lamonts Records. ❤

I have loved this song ever since it came out. Not only can Freda sing beautifully, but she is also beautiful.

One of those songs where the beat actually gives happy vibes but when you listen to the lyrics it’s actually a sad song. 😢

I remember this song getting a lot of airplay when I was a kid. Catchy tune even though it's a song of sorrow

I loved this song and it still sounds great. So sad Angela Bofill died. Didn't know that until I read a comment below. I too can't recommend enough "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and "Over the Moon and Under the Sky". Both from her album Angie. I saw her at the Roxy back in the day. RIP sweet Angela

My Jamaican wife's mother's maiden name is Payne. So our kids just assumed Freda was family. I think they know by now.

Freda was born in Detroit and grew up there and had Holland-Dozier-Holland as friends, but somehow missed signing up with Motown. Instead, she moved to New York in 1963 and did some acting, which continued for many years, in addition to her records. Her other successful hit was Bring the Boys Home (1971), an anti-Vietnam War song. Her famous songwriter friends had left Motown and recruited her for a new label, Impulse, and wrote for her. It was with Impulse that she had her greatest success. Band of Gold was in 1970. Her sister was a replacement singer in the Supremes.

As a 9 year old in the summer of '70, I bought the 45. When I hear it, I feel exactly the way I felt then. It's crazy how music can do that to you. 😊

This was one of my faves Soul tracks as a child coming up in the 1970s. The way FP delivered it with such emotive passion just made me feel some kind of way. Much respect to you Ms. Payne.

Freda Payne's 'Band of Gold' is part of the soundtrack of my youth, my being 12 when it came out. Wore out the 45 on my record player, the whole nine yards. Not a lot of fellow fans of the genre in my Appalachian rural community, where the options were 'both kinds of music' as _The Blues Brothers_ taught us (Country _and_ Western), plus Flatt and Scruggs-style Bluegrass, and Top 40 Pop late at night if the FM skip signal from more populated areas was cooperating. My cousin from central Ohio turned me on to BoG, along with several other selections that earned me some strange looks from my peers. Still, hearing the old melody sure brings back a flood of nostalgia! Thank you!

Released a year before I was born, but I grew up hearing my elder relatives listening to this. Totally love it

This is such a great song. My dad was a huge Motown fan so I was brought up listening to this sort of music. I'm 54 now and this takes me back to being a little boy!!

You need to see her singing this on any video… Not just a great voice but one of the most beautiful African-American women to walk the planet.

One of my favorite songs! The opposition you describe between the music and the lyrics is part of the song's greatness-it's about the longing for that happy, complete love.
