Roy Payne,
singer/songwriter, Newfoundland & Labrador - 1995 - one of the most fiercely Canadian recording artists of the 1960s, his songs I Wouldn't Trade a Million Dollars for a Single Maple Leaf and The Goofy Newfy defined his no-bullshit demeanor
Hello! Great read on Roy Payne on the stories in your blog! Roy wrote songs for my father/musician Phil Lloyd. They were very good friends. My father had a huge following and he always introduced Roys songs as "Roy Payne" songs on stage. Some include, Train Don't Stop, Lady From Boston, Six Foot Under. There are many folks who outside of Newfoundland have heard of Roy Payne because of Phil Lloyd! From the East Coast to the West Coast to the Yukon, and all across Ontario, especially the North! Roy is an amazing song writer! In fact everytime people heard Phil sing a song and say they liked it, was always a Roy Payne song. There is no other song writer like him!!!!!
