About Marilyn Maye: Johnny Carson knew and featured great singers, including one he called "Super Singer" -- The multi-talented Marvelous Marilyn Maye. Ms. Maye appeared on The Tonight Show a record 76 times, more than any singer. Her performance will be both a musical salute and a compilation of many of the songs Marilyn performed on The Tonight Show. As Johnny said, “If there are any young budding singers out there, get her recordings, listen to her– she knows how it’s done!”
