All us red blooded American boys had a crush on Freda Payne. Such a talent.
She's finer and much more talented than Beyonce 🤷🏻
A beautiful voice, but never as good at writing though.
So sorry but no, She was a trailblazer and fabulous but the vocal range is nowhere as good as Queen Bey.
I liked Freda but comparing her (or anyone) to the multi-talented, highly-successful Beyonce is absurd. I know the haters are going to hate on any super-successful woman (especially a black one), but seriously ... (Freda had one major hit and a couple of follow-ups that made a lesser impact. That's it. )
@@walterpanovs Beyonce is overrated, she just has good marketing going for her!
Amen!
Another 70's classic. Can't beat that era!!
As a white teenage boy in Australia who saw this clip when it came out, i was infatuated with her, that voice, that beauty, what a stunning woman.
Freda is still STUNNING at 81
Miss Freda could sing her ass off. Gorgeous too.
A very sheltered girl who knew *nothing* on her honeymoon night. Look up the live performance of her decades later as a mature lady in a purple dress - she absolutely freaking killed it
Actually Freda Payne had a Song "Bring the Boys Home" which was banned from the US Command of the American Forces Radio Network by direction of President Richard Nixon. You should take a listen very Powerful and almost ended Freda Payne's career.
She's like 80 or 81 now and still gorgeous. And that song has held up just as well.
I always thought the meaning was that she was sheltered by her mother and knew nothing of romantic relations. Then, when things got a bit
serious with her new spouse, she was initially not into it. He decided to leave their marriage, and now she has regrets.
I LOVE THIS SONG! Freda Payne is a queen.
Another fabulous woman from that era is Thelma Houston - PLEASE 🙏🏼 listen to “Don’t Leave Me This Way” from her. You’ll love her, I promise.
“Band of Gold” was written by Motown’s Holland-Dozier-Holland under a pseudonym. From Wikipedia: “
"Band of Gold" is a song written and composed by former Motown producers Holland-Dozier-Holland (under the pseudonym of Edythe Wayne) and Ron Dunbar. It was a major hit when first recorded by Freda Payne in 1970 for the Invictus label, owned by H-D-H. The song has been recorded by numerous artists, notably competing 1986 versions by contrasting pop singers Belinda Carlisle and Bonnie Tyler, and a 2007 version by Kimberley Locke.”
This was the No. 1 in the UK when I met my first (and only) girlfriend. We married two years later and have been together now for 52 years. A good memory. Thanks, Britt.
Cannot download Telegram. Sorry.
Check out Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose '' Treat like A Lady'' and ''To Late to Turn Back Now '' which is my favorite.
Old school classic!
I remember dancing to this while doing homework, nothing can touch the 70's music.
As a young man watching her perform that song...I loved the song, loved the performance, but couldn't believe the situation she was singing about. That was a good decade for music. Freda Payne is in her 80s now, hardly changed.
exactly, WHO would abandon Freda Payne? Amazing song and singer though.
Freda Payne was absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous and blessed with that golden voice. Growing up in the 70s hearing songs like this on AM Radio, so wonderful.
There has been controversy about these lyrics and what it was suggesting since it was written. When Freda Payne first read the lyrics, she said she wasn't comfortable, didn't like it because 'it didn't make sense' to her, and didn't want to record it. One of the writers told her that 'you don't have to like it - just sing it' and it became her biggest hit. With all of the controversy about what the lyrics meant, one of the writers was surprised to learn that this song was a huge hit in the gay community because of how some interpreted it. To me, I was just a kid when this was released who didn't pay much attention to lyrics but absolutely loved the beat!
My wife always felt he was unable to complete the act of love. If he had a separate room, I'd think the gay undertone is also part of it.
Pretty sure the songwriter is on record as saying it was a woofter marrying a woman to either be a "beard" or pretend to himself he was straight.
Watch the Soul Train episode with Ms. Payne singing this. Her plum outfit! When I was a youngin', I looked forward to every episode of Soul Train and American Bandstand. I had Band of Gold on a 48! I wish I could remember what was on the flip side, but I just played Band of Gold over and over.
I bought the ‘45 of this record on my 10th birthday (June 28th, 1970) 4:57 and It was #1 in Toronto 🇨🇦 at the time. I just went nuts over this song as well as Miss Freda Payne. ❤
My grandmother would have pinched your ears for being a fresh acting little kid.
I think you could be right about Beyonce. The Writers ad Producers here were Holland Dozier Holland, who had been the backbone of Motown Records in Detroit all through the 60s. They started their own independent labels after being (they felt) "consistently under paid' and under appreciated" by Motown. HDH did have a successful handful of years out on their own in the 70s, but they never really hit the heights that they had reached on Motown. Freda Payne had an international #1 hit with this great track, but never became their Diana Ross. Honeycone never became their Supremes. Chairman Of The Board came close to becoming their Four Tops, but Motown had Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye and many, many more great artists and they were the World's biggest Black owned company. and they hung on to their market share.
This is one of those rare records that you could play EVERY DAY and NEVER grow tired of. On the lyrics, it is just a very sad song that touched on an issue people didn't talk about, Male impotency.
Long live the seventies ! Freda Payne ...Band of gold. 😂❤
Best decade EVER!!!!!!
The 70s were magic. Van Morrison - Into The Mystic. Stevie Wonder - You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. - You Don't Have To Be A Star. Anita Ward - Ring My Bell. I'm not even scratching the surface here. So exciting to me even now.
I loved listening to Ms Freda Payne in the 70’s, dancing to this song and feeling her pain. Yes she is gorgeous 🥰💜☮️💃💃💃💜☮️
One of the greatest nr.1 hits from 1970. Great song by the spectacular Freda Payne.❤
This is the first song I can identify by song and artist as a young boy in 71-72-ish, blew me away watching her on Soul Train.
Her younger sister Scherrie sang with The Supremes.
This song is a Holland Dozier and Holland song. Motown‘s great songwriting team; after they left Motown. Thanks for doing this one, Britt. Check out Freda‘s younger sister Sherrie Payne when she joined Mary Wilson as a Supreme.
One of my favorite songs ever ❤
Band of Gold is one of my favorite songs of all time, and her voice was amazing.
I still have my 45rpm record of this song. I was 16 when this song came out in 1970. Always loved this song! Great song, Great singer!❤❤❤
I still have mine also. LOL!
@@deborahscalise3215 We are REAL music lovers!!!! Thanks for the reply!
Funny thing is...when I was a young cowboy I rode a range for several years. I was the ONLY cowboy that loved Motown. Drove the others nuts. THIS was my all time favorite and until just now I totally forgot that. It was her greatest hit.
Great Song..I saw her sing this song live she was so GOOD ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is still touring and performing today (mostly classic jazz, which is where her roots are) and is still gorgeous and in fine voice. Jazz trivia: Freda was close friends with iconic pianist Horace Silver.
One of my very favourite songs ever ! .. I loved it from hearing it on the radio, and now having seen Freda singing it, I think I love her as much as the song .. She is drop dead gorgeous !💘
When I was engaged to my now Ex, this was “ our song “ we actually had it as our first dance. Some how the marriage lasted 30 years. 🤣🤣
Every time I hear this song it brings me back to the 7th grade in 1970. One day in PE class the teachers surprised us with a dance class. The boys had to ask a girl to dance with them. One of the records that was spinning on the turntable was this song. Loved it then and still in loving it today!
This is unbelievable, this same video popped up on RUclips for me yesterday. Because I love this song, I played it. When Freda came out in those hot pants, the first thing I thought was that Britt would love this outfit. I love this song so much it is my ring tone on my phone. Thanks for the reaction.
Freda was awesome.... This song was way BOLD back in the day! I loved it! Back in 1970!
Another great song from our classic days. I love your comments and your great appreciation to our older songs. I look forward each day for you to come on. GOOD JOB! 🎶🎤👩🦳🫶👍🌟
She was a jazz singer originally, as I recall. Sounds good singing this as well.
Northern England's obsession with soul probably paved the way for this to top the UK chart back then. But it's a classic on every level. Sometimes songs just ring out from the past.
I hear this and its smiles of an era past >> we had the best tunes
Absolutely beyond awesome 🔥
Thank you 🙌
Absolute classic from my younger days. It's all about the groove and the story. Simple but effective. And damn, she was hot!
This one is a bit before my time, but I have loved it since the first time I ever heard it. Absolute classic!
I am old so this was my kids gen. Love it.
Omg! I was born in 1968. I lived in NY till I was 4. I have almost 0 memories. One that I do have is listening to this song coming from my sister's bedroom about 100 times a day.
I can tell you where I was when I heard this as a 10 yrs old at Daytona beach oh the memories omg best sammies I ever had out of the back of a short GTO trunk
I used to dance around to this with my brother and sister in the early 70s in Nigeria, we loved it! 😅
That's awesome!
This is on my playlist, listened to daily! Such a vibe
Oh my Britt, I was 11 years old when I first heard this song and saw this beautiful woman, which is unmatched by any woman today, except you, Britt.
Dang that's a bass line! And her voice cuts through everything. I've heard this song, but never had any idea who the singer was. Thanks for the education!
Yea my favorite song since I was 10 years old, and still is😊. Of I didn't understand the lyrics but I didn't care !😅 thank you so much for this song, it made my day ❤️ 😅
I'm so sorry but I am on a tablet and don't have all the apps. I am lucky to do this. So sorry 😞 I don't know any other Freda Payne songs because I had 45s so it was buy your new favorite all the time. Poor mom had to listen to it over and over..lol I would like you to hear " Bread " start with " guitar man " I think you will enjoy Bread, they have many hits.Trust me I grew up in the 60s and 70s, I hope you get this! I love your vibe ✨️ thanks ❤️ try Bread!!lol
Big hit 1970 (#3 in the USA and #1 in the UK) written by the Supremes' chief songwriters Holland, Dozier, and Holland, and featuring that Motown beat. Freda originally thought the song was better suited for a younger woman (as she was near 30) but eventually gave in. The lyrics have always been a mystery and open to various interpretations.
I had this one on 45rpm when it first came out. I played this thing until it wouldn't play anymore.
Great song from an era of great music!
You just love the 70's music!! How can you not?? God bless you Britt! Loving your reactions!
Her other great song from that period was the anti-war anthem "Bring The Boys Home", banned by many radio stations...before that her 1964 album on Impulse features her singing "Lonely Woman" by free jazz pioneer Ornette Coleman!
She's still with us and still gorgeous. Look for the Jet magazine pictorial with Payne, Eartha Kitt, and Jayne Kennedy. Wowza.
She was a smoke show ❤
Northern Soul Classic in the UK. How we danced to these heartbreaking lyrics with soul in our hearts
Loved your reaction! Freda Payne was beautiful.
Thank you!!
This was covered by Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Go's. There is also a collab with Freda and Belinda live.
BTW I love this hair style best of all on you
One of my faves from that time period. Freda had great vocal chops!
Great choice of song!! Loved your reaction. Keep 'em coming xx
She was very popular back in the day and her sister also had success both should have had bigger carriers.
A classic
Hi Britt, I used to sing this song on my way to School for Months
I love Freda.
Stop thinking too much and just enjoy the 70's and it's great music!
I was 8 yrs old but I knew what a pretty girl was, and if she as on, I was glued to the TV. One of my favorite songs from that time. Those vocal riffs become imbedded in your soul and you never forget them. Thanks for bringing this out. Awesome!
Rock on!
Her looks remind me of Whitney Houston! I think it's the hair style mostly, but the resemblance is there. She is very beautiful!
I think so too!
You are spot on
Thanks, Britt! I love this song.. Freda is amazing as a vocalist.. and the story is interesting... "that night on our honeymoon.. " like, he couldn't get it goin'.. "love me like you TRIED before..." lol.. appreciate your reaction!
If you stay in separate rooms on your honeymoon, you're playing for the wrong team.
Seems obvious the guy was having problems getting the job done.
Funny, I think of this as a sixties song. I was 12 when it came out, and I loved this song. This made me so nostalgic.
One of my ALL TIME FAVS.......😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
Glad I grew up in this era.
Classic!
I also find it interesting that she said, about loving her, "like you TRIED before", vs. DID before.
Also, the lyrics in the beginning play a little trick. He took her from the shelter of her mother, then she starts a different thought on him showing her love like she had never known. But she does both lines in the same verse.
The song bowled everyone over! Doesn't get any better.
I rocked a belt just like that back in the day.💃🏻🕺🪩
Had loads of tape reels from the late 60's to the mid 70's with serious amounts of music like this. I most often never knew who the artist was or what the title of the song was, but I knew good when I heard it. (This was one of those artists I didn't know the name of, or what the title of the song was.)
That lyric is confusing because of where the pause comes. The line goes: "You took me from the shelter of my mother. I had never known or loved any other..."
I grew up listening to music like this.
When this song came out, the Vietnam War was still going on. New recruits and draftees were housed in hotels the night before they shipped out to boot camp. MP's patrolled the hallways and parking lots for girlfriends and wives who wanted to spend one last night with their man. This song is about one such couple who married the day before he had to go, but they were not allowed to stay in the same room at his hotel.
Are you kidding me? I spent forty years thinking she was frigid!!!! Jeeeeezzzz
🔥 love it
Since you love this, maybe you will enjoy this song as well: The Want Ads by the Honeycombs. Unless you already know that song. That is one of my favorites, just like this one. I remember hearing this song on the radio. I have always loved this song. The singing is amazing when you just a little kid. I think I was 5 or 6 at the time when Band Of Gold first came out. Enjoy hun, you do seem to enjoy it yourself. Have fun!
All I know is that I remember this song spending a long time at #1 here in the UK, which sounds great unless you' were a teenager and fed up of hearing it. 😟
My mum played this song when I was little and I said “mummy that man was gay” 😂. I still stand by this!
I think you will also like Honeycone, their big hit was Want Ads, The late, lovely Edna, the lead singer is Darlene Love's sister.
I have loved this song since I was a girl
Belinda Carlisle covered this when she went solo from the Go-Go's.
I love this song - I don't know of any other songs she did. Did she have no more hits? How????
Beyonce's performance (portraying Etta James) of I'D RATHER GO BLIND in the movie CADILLAC RECORDS, which is about Chess Records in the 1950s, is very very good. Check out that performance. I wish she would just stick to the blues.
Belinda Carlisle cover this song on her debut album and there's a video of her singing with Freda Payne together.
Couple of things: Motown songs (pre- Marvin Gaye "What's Going On") were more about hooks, vibes and a "Motown sound" (soul-pop) than deep meaning, so don't overthink it. Secondly, like many songs during the Vietnam war, people started putting the cultural zeitgeist into this song too, (Paul Simon, "Mother and Child Reunion", Johnny Nash, "I Can See Clearly Now". John Denver, "Leaving on a Jet Plane".) even if they weren't specifically about the war. I'm glad you discovered it. It's truly a mood.
loved her! wish i could find a woman as pretty as her! the search goes on!
❤
