My guest is the iconic singer, actress and television star Freda Payne. She is appearing this weekend at Keystone Korner, the terrific jazz club in the Harbor East neighborhood of Baltimore.
Freda Payne had her first gold record hit in 1970 with Band of Gold. She has appeared on stage, in films, and as a host on a TV show. And she has worked with a who’s who of performers including Duke Ellington, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey, Omar Sharif, Quincy Jones, Liza Minnelli, and Sarah Vaughn, to name just a few.
