MARILYN MAYE was dubbed "Super Singer" by the late Johnny Carson. Ella Fitzgerald called her "the greatest white female singer in the world." The
Houston Chronicle termed her "a National Treasure." "Too Late Now," recorded on her RCA
The Lamp Is Low album, was chosen by the Smithsonian Institute and included in its 20th Century permanent collection. Add 76 appearances on "The Tonight Show," a Grammy Award nomination in the mid-1960s as "Best New Artist," a bevy of awards reflecting her showmanship, and you have an illustrious singing career that is still going strong after a lifetime spent entertaining audiences.
In her early years, Marilyn was heard regularly on the radio, worked in a variety of nightclubs around the midwest, and was ultimately discovered by Steve Allen, who invited her to appear on his primetime television show. Soon after, Marilyn signed a recording contract with RCA which resulted in seven albums and 34 singles. In 1966, after hearing her at the Living Room in New York, Ed McMahon invited her to appear on "The Tonight Show," starring Johnny Carson and she holds the singer's record of 76 appearances. In the 1970s, Marilyn made the transition to theatre, starring in productions of
Can Can, Follies and Jerry Herman's blockbuster musicals
Mame and
Hello, Dolly! Two years ago, in an ironic twist of fate, though she had never stopped working, Marilyn was once again "discovered" when she appeared as a special guest of the annual Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center. A series of glowingly-reviewed New York performances were followed by more concerts around the country. As a result of this resurgence in popularity, Marilyn has never been busier. She is the winner of the 2008 and the 2009 "Nightlife Critics Award as "Outstanding Vocalist," the recipient of the B
ack Stage Bistro "Lifetime Achievement Award" and the 2009 MAC award, "Celebrity of the Year." In November 2009, the Bruekelein Institute presented Marilyn their Guadium Award, "Illuminating the Horizon of Human Experience." More information is available at
