my favorite all time morganna song is taste of honey.

I swear i remember her version of fly me to the moon but I can not locate it

The first part of the song is pure genius but the finish is a bit eccentric. Nevertheless I can't get enough of this lady's musicality.

@beatmakersuniversity Issac did a good job of arranging and orchestrating, which is where his true talents lie. He has never been more than a thrd rate singer in my book.It's the instrumental portions of his songs people remember not his vocals. Morgana King's only instrument is her voice and she plays the hell out of it.

Morgana King is an incredible singer and performer. She takes a song that has been done to death and breathes new life into it and filters it through her jazz artist personality and sensibilities yet remains true to the composers pop intentions. You can recognize and identify with the song. She adapts but never distorts.I have great respect for this singer and her instrument. Her "Sleepin Bee" is awesome

@cay311 - Hey idiot, Morgana was married twice . . . both times to jazz musicians, trumpeter Tony Fruscella and Willie Dennis (trombone).

You're a schmuck for saying that ! ! !

too lesbian and too witchy!

I think there can be more than one fabulous, out of this world recording of a tune ... Cyndi clears the table as far as gut-wrenching and heartfelt ... but Isaac Hayes version still gives me goosebumps and touches my very soul every single time.

I think we have two bests here.

And Morgana breathes a totally different type of "life" into it ... she's remarkable for sure, just more specialize... not everyone is going to like the jazz styling.

[Bflatblues55]

ABSOLUTELY - but Morgana gave it one heck of a shot here ... she's a vocal gem... amazing.

Indeed...I feel the same as you express and also what do you feel when you listen this Heavenly Lady sing 'When The World Was Young'? And how about...'I am a Leaf'?...Her sounds just move me beyond this Earth...Thank you for your perfect comments...Blessings..

Morgana is certainly one of the best singers ever.

I think you forgot one little version by Ms Warwick(e) herself. Don't take the original for granted. It is still quite amazing.

This is an example of how Jazz singers were trying to keep up with the changes in popular taste. Rock had replaced Swing as the dance rhythm of choice and it was sink or swim for many Jazz singers. Morgana, like the rest of them, tried her best, but Standards will always be her forte. A truly great voice, she always exhibited total control of her instrument.
