from the 12” single, Sutra Records, 1982There are so many artists in the history of modern music which have lived mainly out of the limelight, session players and backup singers who never receive the credit they deserve for existing as the glue which holds countless productions together---Freda Payne unquestionably falls into this category. Her discography as a supporting vocalist is strewn with some of music’s all-time greats (i.e. Quincy Jones, Della Reese, Duke Ellington), but this slick boogie track finds her taking center stage, handling things with aplomb; although she is almost 40 years old here, her voice sounds as young and fresh as that of a twenty-something’s.
