Jazz and Nightclub Legend The award-winning Marilyn Maye appeared 76 times on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the record for appearances by a singer.  He called her “Super-Singer”. Steve Allen presented her at various times on his national television show, which led to an RCA recording contract, seven albums and 34 singles including her hit record of “Cabaret”. Beside the 76 appearances on Carson, she performed multiple times on The Merv Griffin Show, The Mike Douglas Show, The Hollywood Palace, The Jim Nabors Show and 3 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Maye appeared twice, 2019 and 2022 on CBS Sunday Morning with Mo Rocca. On NBC’s Harry, she sang her classic version of “Here’s To Life” and was interviewed by Harry Connick, Jr. Her RCA recording of “Too Late Now” was included by the Smithsonian Institution on an album of the 110 best American compositions of the 20th century.  Last year, her concert in Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall was preceded by a full-page preview in The New York Times and was sold out, with 2,800 people in attendance.  She performed with the 80-piece New York Pops Orchestra  conducted by Steven Reineke, receiving an unprecedented 12 standing ovations.  There were seven rave reviews and she received a proclamation from NYC Mayor Eric Adams at the event declaring March 24, 2023, “Marilyn Maye Day”. Maye continues to perform throughout the United States in various clubs and concert halls.  For the past 18 years, she has appeared regularly each year in New York City, in the spring and fall at 54 Below for 10 or more sold-out nights, as well as Birdland and Dizzy’s at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Each year, twice a year since 2012, her multi-night engagements are sold out at The Purple Room in Palm Springs, Crooner’s in Minneapolis, MIM Theater in Phoenix, AZ and many other venues. “Marilyn Maye has everything. She has a theatrical flair that captivates and enthralls, and jazz-spiced chops that can reach notes most singers a third her age can’t even hit in their dreams. She’s the real deal, the surviving artist of the American popular singer.”–Rex Reed, New York Observer MarilynMaye.com
