Marilyn Maye interview by Steve Kraske

If a career spanning decades and still going strong, a Grammy nomination in the mid-60s as Best New Artist and a bevy of awards don't impress you, how about a record 76 appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson? Steve Kraske talks with life-long Midwesterner Marilyn Maye.

Dubbed by Ella Fitzgerald as "The greatest white female singer in the world," the Houston Chronicle as "A National Treasure" and The New York Times as a "Brash sock-it-to-'em nightclub tradition," Maye is a crowd pleaser even at age 82.
