"The timbre of Payne’s voice is so strikingly similar to Fitzgerald’s that there are moments when, if you close your eyes, you’d swear you were hearing the real thing. In numbers like “Mr. Paganini” and “Oh, Lady Be Good,” I closed my eyes and felt goosebumps form on my arms. But, perhaps best of all, she hits straight in the heart with a deeply emotional “My Buddy” – ironically, a song I don’t believe Fitzgerald actually ever recorded.”

"Over the years – and even today – she sings it all, from big band music to pop to R&B to jazz."
Ella: First Lady of Song was one of the best productions I have seen all year, which in part is due to the amazing performance of Freda Payne and her "band" of gold"
