Marilyn Maye, Singer

#WomenYouShouldKnow 

The marvelous Marilyn Maye will be the solo guest artist at Carnegie Hall, March 24, 2023.

She is a singer, actress, educator, arranger, director, and Grammy-nominated recording artist. 

Steve Allen invited her to appear on his television show, and soon after Marilyn signed a recording contract with RCA Records.

Johnny Carson, host of The Tonight Show, described her as, "Super Singer", and Ella Fitzgerald referred to her as, "The greatest white female singer in the world."

She appeared on The tonight Show an unprecedented 76 times.

So far, Marilyn has recorded 7 albums and 34 singles.

She has been honored with multiple awards, and performed on stage nationwide, including Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.

The Arts Council of the Smithsonian Institution selected one of her recording, "Too Late Now", for the Smithsonian-produced album of the 110 Best American Compositions of the Twentieth Century.

March is Women's History Month. I am highlighting contributions women have made to events in history and contemporary society.
