JAYE P MORGAN THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM YOU

Morgan was born in Mancos, Colorado, but her family moved to California by the time she was in high school. In the late 1940s, at Verdugo Hills High School in Tujunga, Los Angeles, California, she served as class treasurer (and got the nickname "Jaye P." after the banker J. P. Morgan) and sang at school assemblies, accompanied by her brother on guitar.
[edit] 1950s

In 1950, a year after graduation from high school, she made a recording of "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" which made it to the Top 10 in the U.S. Billboard record chart . Soon after, she received an RCA Victor recording contract, and she had five hits in one year, including "That's All I Want from You," her biggest hit, which reached #3 on the chart. Other notable hits included "The Longest Walk" and "Pepper Hot Baby".

From 1954 to 1955, she was a vocalist on the television show Stop the Music. In November 1955, the British music magazine, NME, reported that Morgan was the top female vocalist in the U.S. Cash Box poll.[1] In 1956, she had her own television program, named for her, and guested on a number of other variety shows. She was a charter member of the Robert Q. Lewis "gang" on Lewis's weekday show on CBS, and was featured on a special episode of The Jackie Gleason Show in which Lewis's entire company substituted for the vacationing Gleason.
[edit] 1960s and 1970s

After a period in the 1960s when she did little in the entertainment field, confining herself to a small number of nightclub appearances, she returned to the public eye in the 1970s, mainly as an actress. She played herself on a 1973 episode ("The Songwriter") of the sitcom, The Odd Couple.

Morgan also guest starred on The Muppet Show (episode 2.18) in which she and Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem sang "That Old Black Magic."
[edit] Game show panelist

In the 1970s she was a panelist on the game/variety shows The Gong Show and Rhyme and Reason and Match Game and in the 1980 "behind-the-scenes" movie version of The Gong Show. She also appeared on the Playboy Channel game show Everything Goes. She also appeared with her longtime Gong partner Jamie Farr on Hollywood Squares Game Show Week II in 2004.
