Payne & Pleasure was Freda Payne's fifth American released album and her first for the ABC/Dunhill label, released in 1974 (ABC owned Payne's previous label, Impulse! Records as well). The album was produced by Mckinley Jackson. It consists of four songs co-written by Lamont Dozier's brother, Reginald ("Reggie"), along with three covers (the Carpenters' hit "I Won't Last a Day Without You," "The Way We Were" [from the film of the same name], and Leon Russell's "A Song for You"). The album was reissued on CD on November 17, 2009. The reissue contains a biographical essay (sourced by interviews with Freda Payne and Lamont Dozier) of Payne's life and career by A. Scott Galloway.
