I’ve said this before, but I cannot understand how Freda Payne the most photogenic, sensual and most beautiful of all Motown stars did not do more than belt out a few hits on the merry-go-round. Wtf went on back then?? I am convinced Hollywood took a look at her, screen tested and said ‘Hell No! She’s just too damn gorgeous and sexy, she’d steal every scene from our Hollywood superstars without even uttering a word’ 😂

Freda was never with Motown! The producers Holland/Dozier/Holland that produced all of the hits for the Supremes, the Four Tops and others had a money dispute with a Berry Gordy (Motown’s founder) and left to start their own label. Freda was one of their first artists but The HoneyCone, Chairman of the Board and others did well too.

Like you this legendary song is one I’ve been haunted by 😂since childhood. I never knew what Freda actually looked like until a few years ago, 50 years later. …I was stunned into silence at how beautiful, sexy and classy this lady looked then and now. Those age old questions bubbled up again, about race and opportunity in the US, especially for black women at that time. I understand she had a few small TV roles one as a talk show host, but nothing really significant. I’m just left asking what happened??

Man in the 70s I was a young bass player probably 14 years old. I was in the Allman Brothers R&B I could learn and I had a 62 jazz base. My brother had given me before he went off the Vietnam. He taught me a little bit before he went off to war, but never came back, but I took that base and it is still my prize possession today and I was sitting in my bedroom one day trying to figure out this baseline. My aunt Joanne came downstairs heard me and heard the song I was doing she said keep playing keep playing you’ll get it. You’ll get it. You’ll get it and all of a sudden she just started wailing, and blew me away and from that day on the bands, I was in when she would ever come to see us. We always made sure that song and heat wave she was coming up to sing and let me tell you she tore the house down I miss my aunt Joanne, she was one hell of a rockin chick, a white girl trapped in a black soul body
