You shouldn't make such a concrete statement like this. There are still a few of us women out there who possess class and style, have morals and values, and not only respects themselves but respects others as well. I am proud to say that I am one of them - and I am also beautiful. Ms. Freda Payne's "Band of Gold" is a classic. No one can sing it better. It brings back so many memories, although I was only four years old when it came out.
DAMN WHAT HAPPEND? THERE KNOW MORE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN LIKE THIS WITH CLASS AND STYLE RESPECT AND MORALS FOR THEMSELFS.ALL IS LEFT IS WOMEN WHO DONT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THER OWN NATURE
this song was written by the 2 dudes who wrote most of the Motown hits. I cna't think of their names - they were brothers. Dozier maybe? they quit Motown in a dispute and this was one of the first songs they wrote afterwards that was a hit but I don't think they had too many hits afterwards. Holland and Dozier. too bad they didn't have more hits for this hot piece of ass!
I saw this woman sing at a church this evening in Pasadena, CA on 9-11-2011. The service was dedicated to anti-war and peace activism. When the pastor introduced Freda Payne I said to myself "Freda Payne, Freda Payne. Where have I heard that name?" Then I thought "Band of Gold!" So here I am at home, come to You Tube to make it was the same woman and song. Amazing. This old soul music is unbeatable: the songs, lyrics, musicians, production, singers. Everything about this music is class.
This is before Sould Train got really wild. They dance really tame here. Later on in the 70's the moves got really funky. The splits, the wild hand movements, etc.
One of the best songs EVER..... i was born in England 1973 and 70's music in my country has a bad name * think glam rock * but Motown well what can i say.....
@edward88yahoo I know. I was like 10 when this came out. That summer I was in summer camp & those were some fun times. I remember the jokes & regretfully the abusive camp counselors. Those bullies are now old men if they're not dead & they know what they did.
I was born in 1970, but this has always been one of my all time favorite songs...I just want to know, if they just got married, where on earth did he go on their honeymoon??!!
@TheVoltorch The meaning of a 'place' is metaphorical. The feelings were gone from the moment they were married. Unfortunately some couples are like that. I think it has to do with 'feelings' being gone. "The dream of what love could be..." in other words if they had love. You can be 'with' some one physically,yet be apart mentally I think is the meaning the song. A 'band of gold' {wedding ring} does not always mean 'happiness'.
I was 12 when this song came out.Reminds me of my mom RIP.This was her favorite song.Use to ride horses in the summer to the swimming hole.Carefree,no stress,just pure fun.
this song is so amazing... and obviously can't be a true story. There is no man so insane he would do that to a wondrous creature like the beautiful Freda!
@dbcooper714 a.m. radio was great back when. beatles followed by stevie wonder followed by frankie laine followed by linda lydell followed by you name it. now it's just right wing religious retards spouting hate and tax evasion.
I needs to get me a big black beautiful sister so I can have some soul. Living in a world of white bitches has no fun to it. I need to get my lilly white ass funktified.
Get if Freda! Dropping it like its hot in 1971! Nothing new under the sun. I was five and this song brings back fond, fond memories of a happy, free life with no stress and responsibilities! JUST LIVING, LOVING AND BEING LOVED!
@Bananadiva1 Ahm SURE you'd see what her "looking bored" RELLY lookes like...if you caught her reading your comment (but...mind you,saying that,ahv juss realised...that would be an impossibility...as you MUST be 'vision impaired' to think that you saw what your comment says!!)Oh well...waste of time writing this as well relly...as you're prolly thinking this is a poem or some shit!!Au revoir...twit
@itsADT I believe so. If my memory serves me correct, in the UK, we had our own (short-lived) version around 25 years ago and he was one of the presenters. The reason why this video was showing then was because every week they'd show an act from the past
i love this song and im 21. Its came on the radio when i was driving and i was like yeah full blast. no one looke at me strangley i was in hipster broooklyn
thnx ! Freda Payne performs beautiful vocals in "band of gold". Outstanding vocals with great lyrics, definite (thumbs - up). As for the three dislikes... either your heart must really be hurtin' honey or 3 people never listened to the song. Listen to the song. It is a wonderful work of art. ***** Freda Fan For Forty yrs. Vote YES.
it's amazing how she has kept her self in such "amazing shape" since this recording. it's like she is timeless......and yea, i was there then. all of us would take her home today, in a heart beat. yeeeeeeaaaa!
@LeoVinceR1 you leo..are a moron. it's not THAT bad, but maybe it's cause u have only watched two other lip sync's...fact is..on soul train..the music is played on the speakers in the studio so everyone can dance to it, but on this video,,it is a different recording set to the video..thus a different track...not what she is hearing. Thank God ur not a judge or on a jury for anything.
@CHUCKLOVES1969 Chuck u r complete retard and should delete your youtube profile completely. How am I suppose to know what Freda can and cannot hear when she is singing? BASED ON THE VIDEO that I just watched, it appears as if she cannot lip sync worth crap.
@LeoVinceR1 OKAY..i will remove my channel cause u say so... NOT. how are you suppose to know?..first of all, don't make negative comments about something that's perfectly fine in the first place. that's how.
@iiiCHUCK1969 Yeah, it kinda does have a Disco sound to it. This is what some folks call 70s R&B; it's not quite soul, not quite funk, not quite Motown, not quite Stax. This sound eventually led to the Disco sound a couple years later when producers extended the bridges of the songs and sped them up so folks in the clubs could really dance to them. (This song was a big hit in '71, if I'm not mistaken, before much of that started, but its fun to hear how the sound was evolving).
this is other channel. You sound like u may have been in the music business yourself. I know the sound of soul, motown, and funk, gospel, but what was Stax?
@CHUCKLOVES1969 Stax Records was a record company based in Memphis in the 1960s/70s. The "Stax" or "Memphis" sound was more bluesy, soulful and gospel-flavored than Motown. Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Aretha, The Staple Singers and others helped popularize it, even when they recorded for other labels. By the mid-70s, it was replaced by the Philly Sound (Teddy Pendegrass, The OJays, The Spinners) which set the stage for Disco.--- I'm just a music history buff; that's all.
@christiandior1947u sure splain things clearly. i was 18 in 1969 and i know all artists u named. i was lucky enough to have lived those gold years of music. i saw all great rock shows, but i failed to seek out the motown sound when or where they hit L.A. but i did love them. when i later learned about how Berry Gordy turned that house studio into the 2nd largest music company in the USA, he became one of two idols... for going from nothing to something tremendous. gene autry is the other.,,,thx
All I can say is I loved this song when I was young & still love it toady!!

@christiandior1947,,,,thx for the elaborate answer to my question.
this is other channel. You sound like u may have been in the music business yourself. I know the sound of soul, motown, and funk, gospel, but what was Stax?

@CHUCKLOVES1969 Stax Records was a record company based in Memphis in the 1960s/70s. The "Stax" or "Memphis" sound was more bluesy, soulful and gospel-flavored than Motown. Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Aretha, The Staple Singers and others helped popularize it, even when they recorded for other labels. By the mid-70s, it was replaced by the Philly Sound (Teddy Pendegrass, The OJays, The Spinners) which set the stage for Disco.--- I'm just a music history buff; that's all.

@christiandior1947u sure splain things clearly. i was 18 in 1969 and i know all artists u named. i was lucky enough to have lived those gold years of music. i saw all great rock shows, but i failed to seek out the motown sound when or where they hit L.A. but i did love them. when i later learned about how Berry Gordy turned that house studio into the 2nd largest music company in the USA, he became one of two idols... for going from nothing to something tremendous. gene autry is the other.,,,thx

Summer of 1970 not 1971. This song was on the charts along with Close to You by the Carpenters. Freda was and is still gorgeous.
