Biography By: Greg Prato, All Music Guide
The multi-talented Freda Payne is best known for her singing career, yet she has also performed in musicals and acted in movies over the years, and briefly was the host of her own TV talk show. Born Freda Charcilia Payne on September 19, 1945, in Detroit, MI, Payne developed an appreciation of music at an early age (due to such sultry jazz singers as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holiday). Payne's own musical career blossomed soon after, as she began early singing radio commercial jingles, which brought the young vocalist to the attention of several music-biz heavyweights. Berry Gordy, Jr. attempted to sign Payne to his then-burgeoning record company, Motown, while Duke Ellington employed Payne as the featured singer with his renowned orchestra for two nights in Pittsburgh, resulting in Ellington offering the teenager a ten-year contract. But in both cases, Payne's mother turned them down.
During the early to mid-'60s, Payne established herself as a fine jazz vocalist, touring the country with both Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby, and issuing a jazz/big band-based album in 1963, After the Lights Go Down Low and Much More!. In addition to a sophomore effort surfacing three years later, How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore, Payne enjoyed further exposure via appearances on such TV shows as Johnny Carson, David Frost, and Merv Griffin. But it wasn't until Payne signed on to the Invictus label in 1969 (headed by longtime friends/former Motown songwriters/producers Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Brian Holland) and issued the fine album Band of Gold that she scored her breakthrough hit single, the album's title track, which peaked at number three in the U.S. and topped the chart in the U.K. in 1970.
Although Payne never enjoyed another hit as substantial as "Band of Gold," several other successful singles followed in the early '70s: "Deeper and Deeper," "Cherish What's Dear to You," "You Brought the Joy," and the Vietnam protest song "Bring the Boys Home." Further albums followed throughout the '70s, including such titles as Contact, Reaching Out, Payne & Pleasure, Out of Payne Comes Love, Stares & Whispers, Supernatural High, and Hot, which all failed to make an impression on the charts. Payne then switched her attention from music to TV, as she hosted her very own (yet short-lived) talk show in 1981, Today's Black Woman. The '90s saw Payne return back to music, as such albums as An Evening With Freda Payne and Christmas With Freda and Friends were issued, while Payne also landed roles in such movies as Private Obsession, Sprung, and Ragdoll. Payne continued to balance an acting and music career during the early 21st century, as she appeared in the 2000 Eddie Murphy comedy Nutty Professor II: The Klumps and the made-for-TV movie Fire & Ice, plus issuing an all-new album in 2001, Come See About Me. Around the same time, several hits compilations were issued, including such titles as Band of Gold: The Best of Freda Payne, Unhooked Generation: The Complete Invictus Recordings, and The Best of Freda Payne: Ten Best Series. Impulse re-released After the Lights Go Down Low in 2005, but failed to add any bonus material.
Title: Freda Payne - Band Of Gold
Description: Born in Detroit, Michigan on September 19, 1942, Freda grew up listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, which inspired her growing interest in music. While still in school, she began her musical career by singing radio commercial jingles in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Her polished voice caught the attention of music executives and other artists. She was wooed with offers of contracts from the likes of Berry Gordy and Duke Ellington, but her mother wanted her to finish school first. After she did, the legendary Pearl Bailey gave Freda her first professional job and this paved the way for her to share the stage with other legends such as Lionel Hampton, Sammy Davis Jr., Billy Eckstine, Quincy ]ones, Bill Cosby and many others.
Freda toured with Quincy ]ones during his big band era, performing at the world famous Apollo in New York and the Regal in Chicago, among others and soon after, recorded her first album When The Lights Go Down for Impulse Records. Three years later, she released her second album of jazz, How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore, for MGM
Then in 1969, some of her hometown friends, brothers Brian & Eddie Holland and Lamont Dozier persuaded Freda to sign with their newly formed label, Invictus. These distinguished songwriters were responsible for putting Motown music firmly on the map by writing and producing million sellers for acts such as the Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas and the Supremes - whose last lead singer is Freda's sister Scherrie - also blessed with an incredible vocal talent.
Freda went on to score with 2 million selling singles - Bring The Boys Home and Band Of Gold. She also recorded Deeper and Deeper, Cherish (What's Dear To You) and You Brought The Joy. with Invictus, releasing several albums, including Contact and The Best of Freda Payne. Then Freda moved to ABC and later Capitol Records, releasing such albums as Payne & Pleasure, Out Of Payne Comes Love and Supernatural High and Red Hot. 1993 saw the release of her critically acclaimed album An Evening With Freda Payne that perfectly showcases her incredible talents and incomparable jazz styling.
In the 80s, Freda concentrated on acting and television, briefly hosting her own talk show, but never entirely losing touch with her music. She recorded a single in 1982 entitled "In Motion" (Sutra), and a remake of "Band of Gold" with Belinda Carlisle in 1986.
In the 90s, Freda recorded several songs for Ian Levine's UK Motorcity label, including "Memories and Souvenirs" and "Only Minutes Away", and released several albums Dove Music, including her first and only Christmas album, Christmas With Freda and Friends. She also continued her acting career.
The new millenium brought a new album of jazz, pop and R&B called Come See About Me for the Volt label and rave reviews met the show called "Love & Payne", which featured Freda and Darlene Love at Feinstein's at the Regency in New York City and at the Cinegrill in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, while several compilations of her music were released.
Freda Payne's prolific career will continue to flourish and prosper for as long as her creative juices keep flowing. Her indelible mark on the music industry is far from over.

Title: DeepRockDrive - Siameze
Description: Siameze Marco Floyd was born to dance! And now that you have that point perfectly understood, it is our pleasure to introduce you to one of the most electrifying, new, young talents to come along in a generation.
This dynamic Capricorn has toured the world as one of the featured dancers with Techno/Pop/Dance goddess, Wanda Dee (lead vocalist for the multi-platinum, mega-group, The KLF) and international master showman, Eric Floyd ('Jerome' of T.V.'s "FAME"), who just happen to be his legendary parents!
Raised in a showbiz household, his natural born gifts for becoming one with complex rhythms, global percussions & comedic timing were honed by his disciplined upbringing and the amazing host of legendary industry friends that were frequent guests in his family home. Eclectic industry names such as Prince, Eartha Kitt, Shirley Bassey, Freda Payne, Martha Wash, Vanilla Ice, Lisa Lisa, Freedom Williams, Monifah, Loleatta Holloway, Ce Ce Peniston, Vivian Reed, Ashford & Simpson, Carol Douglas, Carol Williams, Barbara Tucker, D'Atra Hicks, Turbo B. & Kathy Sledge are just but a few of the show business veterans that he has either shared a stage or broke bread with.
Training vocally with his mother and dramatically with his father twice weekly has kept his talents polished and poised for eventual superstardom; as it is his family's personal mantra that 'luck is merely when opportunity meets preparation'!
An avid sportsman, Siameze was both the captain of his wrestling, track and dance teams in high school (where he graduated two years early) and absolutely loves physical activity. An admirer of all things artistic & a passionate nature lover, he is also a skilled fashion designer, graphic artist & chef; who has never met an animal he didn't like.
Siameze has written, produced and arranged his first singles; "NEW YORK KIND O' LOVE" (w/Mickey Garcia), "PLEASE DON'T LIE TO ME", "THE LIGHT" & "WE WERE TOO YOUNG" (his R&B duet w/ Cene' whom he also guests on her rendition of the Disco Classic; "COME TO ME"). One of the very artists that is able to write their own hits, he is currently writing material for his debut Urban Pop/Rock & Soul album; "BORN TO DANCE!"
Currently, Siameze was chosen by www.DEEEPROCKDRIVE.com to be one of the privileged beta-testing artists on their new interactive online concert technology that will make it possible for anyone, anywhere in the world to watch their favorite artists live on the web in REAL TIME. Sponsored by PEPSI, Siameze performed an electrifying 65 minute set for them live from Las Vegas on October 4, 2007 in addition to performing regularly on The Strip as a featured headliner in his own sizzling show @ The Empire Ballroom (5 nights a week), as well as the resident house band for the upcoming weekly new artist showcase...

This triple threat is made of the stuff that legends are made from; discipline, dedication, devotion, dogma, divinity and an unwavering determination and work ethic. Blessed with the cherubic face of an angel and a sleekly defined, chiseled body forged by the fires of a lifetime of daily workouts, good eating and prayer; Siameze (named for the tiny island paradise nation where he was conceived by two passionate teenage parents) is equally at home on the live stage, big or small screen or recording studio. And like the pioneers who proceeded him (ie. Michael Jackson, Prince, Ben Vereen, Sammy Davis, Jr.), there is no doubt in anyone's mind who has ever seen him in action, that this multi-faceted young man will leave an indelible mark on the entertainment world!
