Darryl Raymond Payne (born 1961) is an American post-disco record producer and songwriter who worked on dance and urban hits of artists like Sharon Redd or Sinnamon, and also produced music mostly centered to SAM and Prelude Records.[1][2]

Production

After becoming dissatisfied with music business Payne took a long hiatus of 10 years.[3] Later, in the 2000s, Payne was then CEO of Classic World Productions and president of a now-dissolved company Jenstar Entertainment, Inc., formed by Richard W. Kuhn. About his return to music production, Payne adds "everybody is imitating everybody else—it all sounds alike. It's time to get back to the basics, the core of soul music."[3] The company specialized in reissuing DVD versions of vintage TV programs featuring 1950s and 1960s performers like Judy Garland, The Four Tops, Little Richard or Tom Jones.
