Jaye P. Morgan is one of the finest singers in the music world over the past 50 years and should have been a household name as a Legendary Singer, not for "The Gong Show". Lucky to see Jaye P. in concert a number of times in the seventies, again in the early nineties and nobody around to compare to this great and sublimely soulful singer, a complete original and the great Jaye P. Morgan is peerless! Merv Griffin devoted ninety minute shows with this legendary lady and Merv always knew the best in great singers, you could tell that he was enthralled with her talent and she delivered on these shows when she sang...sadly no promotion for her great recordings from this period and her masterpiece Lp "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?" plus definitive 45rpm only version of Leon Russell's "A Song For You" (both on Beverly Hills Records) are lost masterpieces (a few sublime tracks featured on youtube) need to be released on compact disc. Thankfully "Lately!" from the eighties now out for everyone to savor and enjoy who really know how to appreciate a great singer in prime form, wonderful diverse collection of songs find Jaye P. in riveting form ranging from torchy, soulful, fine and funky to soulfully sublime and nobody does it better! Listen how deep this legendary singer goes inside Stevie Wonder gem "Lately" and experience an artist who is capable of emotional intensity on an intense level that is thrilling..."Song Of The Sand" from "La Cage Aux Folles" is brilliant and mesmerizing while big-band classic "That Old Feeling" is classic Jaye P. Morgan making it totally amazing that this great collection of tremendous and richly varied performances slipped through the cracks...little wonder the music industry is in the dismal shape as it hasn't built the business on real talent such as Jaye P. Morgan. Bravo Jaye P. and thank you for years of wonderful entertainment and love and miss you!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars NO GONG FOR JAYE P. LATELY!, October 21, 2005

This review is from: Jaye P. Morgan Lately! (Audio CD)

I guess everybody remembers Jaye P. Morgan from the Gong Show, how Chuck Barris used to introduce her by saying "And here she is, Jaye. P. Mor-goan!!!" But I remember she sang and had hit records long before the Barris show ever came along, and she has really got a great set of pipes. This CD has some of her best performances. She sings "Lately" better than the man who wrote it, ditto "Every Breath You Take," and her version of "Song On The Sand" brings tears to my eyes. "Carousel Dreams" is a knock-out heartbreaker too, and "That Old Feeling" is pure Morgan at the top of her game. Eight songs in all, but the way Miss Morgan sings them, you think there are fifty. In today's music world, everybody is a "singer." But rest assured, hardly any of those "singers" can sing like Jaye P. Morgan does. If you know who she is, you'll want this CD. But if you don't know who she is, meet Jaye P. Morgan on "Lately!" This is one CD you will play again and again. Believe me when I tell you, I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music from a great talent, November 22, 2005

Jaye P Morgan's music is just as fresh, flawless, and fabulous as when she was exploded on the music scene in the 1950s. She is an incredible talent and can sing any type of music with soul, spirit, and sensuality. She was hip, and one of Johnny Carson's favorite singers and guests throughout the 60s and 70s, and when you hear this CD, you will know why. She has class and is a real pro. This CD offers a pleasing and enjoyable mix of music, and shows that Jaye P can master any contemporary music melody and make it her own. "Cheatin Me" is sexy, and "Lately" is intimate and revealing. All tracks are great, and I highly recommend. She's right up there with the best - Lena Horne, Rosemary Clooney,and Cleo Lane. J.
