Jaye P. Morgan - That's All I Want From You (1954)

[packardcaribien]

I wonder if her name was purposefully like the famous financier's name (John Piermont Morgan).

[DOOWOPDUANE]

My favorite, her music is completely matchless! At a time in that ' era ' where those closely associated with this kind of music filled the airwaves with quality, enjoyable wonderful music that the whole family could appreciate, it is hard to believe how the recording industry has changed it's taste and deviated from the high standards that we all enjoyed! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS 'WHOLESOME' MUSIC!

[komatman]

ooooo nice

[sobagirl1]

Lovely song.

[JENDALL714]

Ironic she sounds like Jane Morgan who was a singer around the same time.

[WytZox1]

@JENDALL714 -- Oh wow! Years ago I met Jane morgan at the Chase Hotel in St. Louis ... Well, didn't actually meet her; she spoke to us thru her closed hotel room door.☺

[superdhebz]

I sang this back in grade 4! I miss my English teacher!! :)

[sandy78]

A WOW

[WytZox1]

And to think that baby boomers may only remember her as a judge on The Gong Show! What a great talent ...☺

This hit by Jaye P. Morgan hit #3 on the Top 40 charts and came in at #28 for the year 1955. 1955; the year that the music industry changed forever. On July 9, 1955, Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1, signifying the start of the Rock Era.

I heard the last half of this song about 30 yrs ago on an old time radio station that played 30's - early 60's music and I would hum it but never heard it again until now. This is a great song and Jaye P Morgan really was a good singer. Thanks!

[glipzik]

What could be greater than the voice of Jaye P Morgan supported by Hugo Winterhaler's orchestra? Such a distinctive sound to Hugo's arrangements.

I was 15 and working at my first job (in a record store). This recording was getting a big push at the time, november 1954. I have loved this recording for 56 years.

[kirko1954]

Her voice is so clear & pure on this recording that it's like listening to a church bell ringing.

[is1531]

JP Morgan had the midas touch.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

I was born in 1984 and even I'm in love with music from this era! So beautiful and meaningful!

[lerebs]

People don't write songs today like they did in the 30s, 40s,50s and early 60s. The songs written in that era had beautiful melodies and words that told a story.  I grew up in the 40s and 50s and I miss the music I grew up with.

[NFitalianGuy]

@lerebs Poetry put to music and you are right the classic song writers of that bygone era wrote songs that meant something to the listener. Today is mumble mumble and screaming in a mic and warbling to where you cant even make out what the song means..

[emb1st]

1954's Madonna....only ours was sexier

[shadowjack59]

This record hit huge right at the dawn of the rock and roll era. A great JP Morgan song which proves how good standard pop music was for its time. Rock revisionists (as usual) have it wrong calling it (the early fifties) a 'field of bland crooners". The music R & R eventually replaced was itself evolving and gave much to the advance of recording values by the late fifties.

this song was sang by my cousin to her younger brother who was suffering from cancer. she sang it to him to relieve him of his pain...(and hers too) since the cancer already spread and pain relievers no longer had an effect on him. he died on a summer...he was just 12. we went to the same school and we had the same teacher who taught us this song. it really makes my eyes misty every time i hear this song

[littleshoemaker]

beautiful, classic 50s love song - sadly forgotten now. they don't make em like this anymore.

[bearcub410]

when i was a kid i used to watch the gong show on tv , always liked her but i never knew what a great singer she was . i love this song and her voice , the tops AAAAA++++

[otorino9o9]

[toyne38]

Super voice!  So clear!

[bgerc]

Thank you.

[colreb1937]

I loved this song in 1954 and I love it today. She is one of my all time favorite singers.

[Breaky0self44]

listen to this song stoned. it sounds even more amazing :)

[Shimathe]

What a lovely music ! Candles on and a glass of wine....Thanks !

[BadNews88]

As someone who only remembers her from The Gong Show...this is a part of Ms. Morgan that is *new to me*. I heard she is a singer of much renown - but have not heard her ever...till now!

Thanx fer this, m8...

[fobesq]

This is singing.....gaga and others, eat your hearts out.

[majskyking]

Sweet! Jaye P. sang with the Frank deVol orchestra at my senior prom held in the Mission Beach (San Diego) Ballroom in 1952. Loved her then, love her now.

She was married to a good friend of mine, Chuck Kelly (now retired professor and published author) who was with Paula Kelly and the Modernaires (no relation to Paula) in the late forties and early fifties. Over the years, Chuck's told me some interesting stories re music.

Love it that some young kids are finding this music "hip". Cool!!

[MrSEAN4821]

Finally I found this.

[Fegen]

I remember when Jaye P. Morgan sang on the Robert Q Lewis tv show.

Always enjoyed her singing.

[JohnKoroly]

Can't get over how much I love listening to this.

[jaynails32]

Jaye P. is great! Thanks for posting!

[TheMusicMaestro]

hearing this song always brings a nostalgic tear to my eye--& i don't know why......

[WopSinger]

I wish it was on Karaoke..Is it ? can't find it

[WopSinger]

@TheMusicMaestro  I wish it was on Karaoke...it's not

[JbrickM100A]

Jaye P. had a great voice and what can you say about Hugo. He was a master craftsman when it came to arrangements and you can see why this song charted so high. For some reason, I feel she didn't get the recognition she truly deserved like say, Doris Day or Jo Stafford but she is definitely right there with them. I remember my 45 with Dawn on the flip side in 1954 but I thought Dawn was the hit. After all, I was only 5 years old.

[grannyrocks2]

Good stuff!

[fhwandell]

Jaye P. Morgan is great. What a powerful voice. And Hugo Winterhalter was a musical genius. What a pairing. Too bad they could not have kept making music together forever

[nate1959ful]

1950s rock and roll is good but there's still nothing like the adult pop standards that came out of those wonderful years like this one. These were the songs that were encouraging, uplifting and inspirational. I love this music and I'm 29. We'll never have an era like that again.

[nickellodeon55]

@nate1959ful Amen! You were born at the beginning of the last gasp of greatness in American pop music. It shows its face from time to time, but suffers from what I call "fecal corn" theory. Musically, I basically live between 1926 and 1975.

[nate1959ful]

I'm very blessed to have a family that passed on to me a love for the music they grew up with. I recently checked out "The Sounds of Motown" on youtube. It was hosted by Dusty Springfield in 1965 and brings together all the Motown groups we know and love. I know you you would like it. I think there are seven parts to it altogether.

[OperaBuff1935]

Jaye P. Morgan is ine of the female vocalists that I remember fondly as a teenager, I didn't realize that she was (and is) not that much older than I am. I hope she is in good health and maybe still singing, since she has sung all her life. Terrific singer, terrific memories.

!! This is the song of shers I remember most and used to play it over and over again in juke boxes, like at the Student Union at the University of Maryland (Go Terps!)).Bet you're still having fun, Jaye P.

[BrickPa]

I wish I knew what makes 50's Pop so attractive to me. Memories of my youth? Quality of the songwriting or the artists themselves? All I can do is say Thanks and please post more!

[brustdiesel]

Purity of voice. Lush orchestration. Certainly, from where we sit now in time, some longing for days gone by, but not so much. Talent, pure and simple. Break out a box of Kleenex and listen to Jo Stafford sing The Nearness of You (look under Kim Novak Tribute). Oh My God, indescribable.

[littleshoemaker]

CLASSIC.

[is1531]

Jaye P had great talent. She should have been bigger. It's hard to believe she is close to 80 years old. You can't turn back time

[waynebrasler]

A great recording session! It also yielded the followup, "Danger Heartbreak Ahead." Eddie Fisher has complained, partly in jest, that no one remembers he sang his hits because Winterhalter's arrangements overshadowed everything else on the records. He did great arranging on RCA for Jaye and for Betty Johnson and uses a similar arrangement on Johnson's "Beginner's Luck."

[lerebs]

Takes me by to my youth in the 50's.

[protoville]

Jaye P. Morgan owned this song. And Hugo Winterhalter's arrangement is so expressive. I especially like the muted trumpets and the undulating rhythm. I don't know why but the teaming of these two artists reminds me of April Stevens and Henri Rene doing "I'm In Love Again."

[norfolk03]

My favorite song! She is amazing, thanks so much for sharing!

[wholesomesweetness86]

Mine too! Glad you enjoyed!

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@norfolk03 Me to! I was born in 1984 a good 30 years after this song came out and I love it! It beats alot of the stuff that comes out nowadays!

[louisbunch]

I've loved this ever since she made it years ago.  Thanks for putting it on UTube

[wholesomesweetness86]

Your welcome!

[bearcub410]

what a voice . she was very very good . thanks

[imusfan48]

God, I love that voice!! Seeing her on some of the old 'Muppet Show', and 'Gong Show' clips, she still looked hot & sexy. Plus you know she would she would have been a 'wild & crazy' chick to have have been with.

[Corrie121]

I wish I had found your channel earlier.These J.P M. postings are fabulous!

What memories they engender for me!

Thankyou.

[wholesomesweetness86]

Most welcome!

[renew2day]

One of the guys in our high school would almost be in tears over this song. His deep response stuck with me all these years!

[313pookie313]

Beautifully sung!

Very pretty as well...Jaye P, has a soulful sound.

[nolarae1929]

nolarae just found this 3 hrs ago,but HAD to hear it again. HER VOICE REMINDES ME OF DORIS

DAY,YET HAS HER OWN GOD GIVEN TALENT. SOO CLEAR,BET SHE NEVER MISSED A NOTE[I AM NOT A MUSICIAN,BUT 'TIS BEAUTIFUL.THANKS AGAIN

[wholesomesweetness86]

Very true.. her voice and Hugo Winterhalter's orchestra really make this verison in my opinion a classic. They certainly don't make em like this anymore.

[nolarae1929]

nolarae Had heard Frankie Avalon sing this on an old b/white movie.Took me a while to locate

who made the hit.[What a beautiful clear voice

Jay p.morgan has]Glad to find,and hear again!Thanks for posting.

[wholesomesweetness86]

[LSSMVT]

This was "our" song in high school. We have now been married nearly 50 years. What a ride it's been - more ups and downs than a roller coaster.

[wholesomesweetness86]

Thats so lovely.. congrats on 50 yrs! This song truely is a treasure to many people.
