Even after reaching the age of 80 this year (19 Sep),
Freda Payne is still active (and even performing live as she had a concert as recent at 8 Nov) and can still turn a tune. She has also just won an award for lead actress in a musical "The Viz".
Her
latest release is a cover of Nancy Wilson's "Do You Still Dream About Me?" from her 1990 album "A Lady With A Song". Payne also recorded it on her 2007 album "On The Inside" but her latest version is a different arrangement.
A bit of further digging revealed that she released it with bassist
Mitchell Coleman Jr. on 19 Sep '22 which sounds similar to
her latest version but slightly different and is 20 seconds shorter. I've just noticed on the cover image of the latest version that it is subtitled "The Love Mix". Note that the link on the image below is for this version as the new version is not available on Amazon as yet.
Ms Payne then clearly likes the song which was written by Sami
McKinney and Tsuyoshi Takayanagi.
Freda will, of course, be always remembered, and be best known for
her 1970 #1 UK pop chart (#3 US) hit "Band Of Gold" but her
recording career began in 1962 and she had already released three albums
prior to joining Holland Dozier Holland at Invictus. The nearest she got
to emulating the million seller was with an anti-Vietnam song "Bring The Boys Home" in 1971 which reached #12 and his her only other million selling
record.
