COMMENTS ON Brenda Payton
What can i say i really don't have the words to express the way her music made me feel. I do fondly remember the dimmly lit basements we held parties in and how her records were always the ones held for the last part of the "Get togethers" as if those songs held so much more magic for you and your lover.

Brenda was a great singer. I had the opportunity to perform with two of her band members; Maurice (keyboards) and Eddie (guitar). Boy, did I enjoy playing song's like "Dry Your Eyes"
Brenda, you are greatly missed!
To me i feel i am her #1 fan. Her music took me through puberty puppy love through teen puppy love.I even sang her songs in talent shows with my friends backing me up. She and Linda Jones were and still my favorite singers. Love and peace to u Brenda in our creator's home.
I thought 'right on the tip of my tongue' was excellent, underrated,with haunting harmonies...playing it now it is hard to beleive it is nearly 40 years old.
Brenda and the tabulation in my opinon was one of the finest singer groups around doing my younger days in NY. I still enjoy Ms payton fine voice today,her music is as refreshng today as it was nearly 40 year ago. I had the pleasure of meeting her after one of her shows some year ago at the apollo In NY. She was not only a great singer but a very nice person. I know she will be miss by all of her fans.
Wow! Finding out about her was a shock! Growing up as a teenager, songs like "Right on the tip of my tongue" "Stay together young lovers" (my all time favorite) "Dry your eyes" , to this day I listen to her songs and they still effect me pretty much the way they did the heart of a teenage girl all those years ago, Brenda & The Tabulations, their music is the stuff real classics are made of.
I saw Brenda at the Apollo Theatre in NYC several times when I was from 12-15, her last TV appearance on a d*** Clark special in 1990. I miss her very much! She was very beautiful and possessed a sweet, gentle, girlish voice and the music was haunting. I loved it! Very original! Her last song (I forgot the title) was a disco song which did pretty well on the charts -she sang that on the d*** Clark special. Her music is always played on radio for millions to hear! She left a great music legacy!
Stay Together Young Lovers.... was a song I would listen to intensively. Her music helded to molded me. Brenda Payton will always be in my heart.
I had the pleasure of running her fan club in NY. I will always love her and I truly miss her. Great memories of the Cheetah and the Apollo, Bear Mountain, will always stay with me. Rest in Peace my Love.
I met Brenda in the Apollo Theater way back when. She had a classic voice that reached into your soul, grabbed it, and never let go. She was spectacular, and you could never forget that it was her who affected you so much. God Bless.
