“Glamorous†BERTHA PAYNE
A native of Lakeland, Tennessee, is an upcoming blues artist to watch, Ms.
Bertha Payne has paid her dues to get where she is today from dealing with
personal pressure, so call promoters and producers mainly because they didn’t
know how to groom her talent wise or didn’t take the time to develop her a style
and sound all her own. Bertha grew up singing the songs of her cousin KoKo
Taylor and by most part Memphis musicians are not into KoKo Taylor, so they
didn’t play well and she didn’t sing well so it all was a bad set. But with
everything against her and nothing for her, she kept going because of her love for
entertainment.
My understanding is she worked with several users who were more into personal
or financial gain rather than developing her as an Artist. Today Bertha Pane is
well polished and developed since being produce by Kim Melvin Kimmons a
former Memphis recording artist of HI records, she has a powerful blues soul
sound and a stage present that really highlight her as the artist she always was.
Today with her background singers Sweetbabi the three perform as a group
rarely found in the blues market of today. They entertain at best together. Their
show is a crowd pleaser and full of class and spirit. Today with a new album
release Bertha Payne and her background singers Sweetbabi are bound to shake
up the blues market.
