Marlene and Billy who are my dear dear friends and colleagues in music and song and some very big time musical Productions for so many years we work together. Our friendship was that big also. It is always in my heart. ForeverSammy Fields

Loved Marlene & Billy so much. We spent 50 years together making great music and fun.. So sorry I was hospitalized both times for Marlene's funeral & Memorial Concert, and could not go to them both. [email protected]. 917-251-5344

Marlene was always there for me singing great on my recording sessions, and being a most caring friend, she and Billy... Forever Fields

Marlene. I've had the empty space of your leaving,
filled by the countless great experiences you and I,
& Billy had together over so many years of recording, and making great music together.

Even when I had you performing with me on the biggest stage, your brilliance was always up to it.
Not even to mention our staying linked on a
50+ year friendship with great sharings at your home till the very time you left us.

I had the privilege to meet Marlene in Concord Ma when she sang for us in the Concord Orchestra. What a joy to hear her voice singing my favorite jazz songs to the Bossa Nova rhythm so perfectly. Her velvety voice soothed us musicians and audiences alike. I always hear her voice now whenever I play those jazz tunes.Thank you Marlene.

My late wife and I were big fans and good friends with Marlene and Billy. I will miss her very much. God bless you Marlene and your music and voice is Immortal! - Richard Pearson
