On Friday, March 1st 2024 Scherrie Payne & Lynda Laurence, formerly of The Supremes, attended Jimmy Webb's performance at The Catalina Jazz Club in Hollwood, CA. Jimmy performed many of the classics that he wrote to a sold out audience! In 1972, when Lynda was a member of The Supremes, Jimmy recorded an album with the ladies titled "Produced & Arranged By Jimmy Webb." This was quite a reunion as Lynda has not seen Jimmy since the album was recorded. Jimmy was happily surprised to see Lynda after all these years. They shared memories of recording the album, and reminded each other of funny moments in the studio. A beautiful evening of beautiful music, fabulous food, friends was had by all. “I’ve always loved Jimmy Webb! One of my favorite songs was recorded by Thelma Houston on her”Sunshower” album, entitled “Crazy Mixed up Girl.” It was an honor to meet him and he gave a great show!” - Scherrie Payne Hello Everyone, I hope you are all in good health and happy. On March 1st 2024, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the one and only Jimmy Webb! Wow! What a night! So many people came out to see him at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood, And I was one of them. It was like, I was transported back to the studio where Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson and I recorded our “Supremes Produced & Arranged By Jimmy Webb album.” That album was very underrated because it was poorly publicized. We didn’t have the internet in those days. People had to actually get out there and push an album. The music in that album was some of the best I think the Supremes recorded. Jeans voice was so perfect for Jimmy’s style. It was just beautiful. Of course he couldn’t play all of his songs that night. We would have been there all night! This man is such a prolific song writer. His lyrics are stellar and his musicality is bar none. Needless to say, it was great seeing him, and I became a fan when I asked him to sign my album! We Had a chance to see Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr., and of course Scherrie Payne and sister Freda Payne were with us also. We had a very enjoyable evening. Seeing Jimmy after all of these years, was a treat that will last a long while! Until Next Time Love Always Keep The Music Playing Lynda Laurence Click on the thumbnail images above to see the full sized photos.
