“And there, young singers, is the way it’s done...  She’s a Super Singer!”  
 Johnny Carson, after one of Marilyn Maye’s record-breaking 76 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

“Marilyn Maye sets the standard for what any jazz, pop, or big band singer would like to sound like.”
Peter Nero, Conductor, The Philadelphia Pops

“[Marilyn Maye]... every discriminating American’s favorite singer - including Carson’s and Ella’s.”      
London Sunday Times, UK

“Calling her a cabaret singer is like calling Pablo Picasso a painter; it’s true all right, but it leaves a lot out!”
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Marilyn is the best singer I have ever heard of either gender, in any language, in any style, and in any idiom.”  
Gene Lees, lyricist (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars), author of fourteen books on music including Singers and the Song
(Vols I and II, Oxford University Press), and publisher The Jazz Newsletter.
