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."

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 KZbin!!!! 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.

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.

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.

This episode also starred Louis Gossett, Jr. & James McEachon as two detectives investigating the murder of two people in a parking lot. Needless to say, Freda Payne made this 16 year old’s night by appearing in a bikini, and was body painted by Louis Gossett, Jr. Thank you, Amber & Jay for finally reacting to this stone cold fox! Another song from Freda Payne to which you should react is, Bring The Boys Home.

Love this one. Another song that use to be played often on the Jukebox in the gym at the Girls Club. Thanks!

This song was a number 2 hit the very month I started my working career here in Sydney in January 1971. I loved her voice, that funky intro and that driving beat - yet she followed up with only one very minor hit (Deeper and Deeper) 6 months later and we never heard of her again.
