I love Postmodern Juke Box. The first time I found it, I got lost for hours checking out the wonderful renditions of the songs we know in a whole different style, and the people they have are fabulous. Thanks you Dave and Harri.
Wow, that woman has one hell of a voice! Just incredible. This is a fantastic rendition ❤ Many thanks, Dave, for this beyond fantastic submission, and thanks for your reaction (which reminded me of mine 😂)!
Ian - So, if I understand you correctly, you really enjoyed this one.😁 When I recently came across this specific performance, I played it many times and it has not lost any of its luster. Thank you.
PMJ rotates members, but they're always topnotch. Got to see them a few years ago - great show! Lots of clever rearrangements of songs in unlikely styles.
I had the good fortune to see Morgan in concert last year (not with PMJ). Tiny woman, huge voice that filled the venue. One of the top voices on the planet. Her Aretha covers are fantastic. Highly recommend her duets with Marc Broussard on "Do Right Woman" and Haley Reinhart on "Dear Prudence."
PMJ is great live. You don't know who the singers and musicians will be. I've seen them three times. Always a great show. Scott Bradlee is a fantastic arranger.
@debbiechang5781 I saw Lake Street Dive play their first concert at Madison Square Garden Saturday night 9.14.24. They were Great!!! Saw Morgan James in concert 6.21.24, she has the soul and power of Aretha Franklin !!!!
1. My first time hearing someone other than Aerosmith sing this song. 2. My first time hearing Morgan James. 3. My first time seeing Hari with a shaved face. 4. My first time seeing Hari with a haircut. 5. I think I like all the new things that today has brought me.😊
Great reaction. Every performance by Morgan is fantastic. You might enjoy following up with her video performances of Maps (with PMJ); Baby, I Love You (with her husband); and Oh Me, Oh My (with her own band - including her husband, Doug).
Harri, You’ll LOVE the solo Morgan James as well!!! Her “Ain’t No Way”(Aretha Franklin cover) ruclips.net/video/UOAq4OU96q8/видео.html has the soul and power of Aretha!!! Saw her in concert June 2024. Best singer/songwriter I've ever seen. Her Soul originals album "Memphis Magnetic"(2023) and R&B originals album "Nobody's Fool" (2021) are Outstanding!!!! She sang in 4-5 Broadway musicals, then started her solo career 2013. She writes most songs with her guitarist/producer/husband Doug Wamble.
Morgan is a trained opera singer graduated at the prestigious Juilliard music school in New York City. However after graduating she realized her heart was more Aretha Franklin than Maria Callas so to speak. She's easy on the absolutely best female vocalists there is today!
A dashing, daring new look Hari .👍👍 If you haven't reacted to " long ago and far away" by jo Stafford. I would love to hear it. ( Im blessed to say the lyrics in this song are happening to me. ) Thank you Hari, blessings to you.
I searched and did not see you'd listened to any other PMJ songs. That's crazy talk.... you need to do their renditions of Creep and 7 Nation Army at the bare minimum! :-)
i was lucky i found them near their debuts in the pianist's appartment, they eventually had to move out because a cello and horns ...well and singing like Morgan can get loud. Puddle Pity Party sang Lorde's song uh Chandelier in that appt. it's a must see.
Oh,my. That is going to take some time. IDK what brought you to that haircut, but although I will say it looks good, so did the last. Absolutely not related to your content,which is consistently great. As is PBJ, and Morgan. Rock on brother. Almost said Haley (oops) for those who enjoyed this, you might want to try this couple from Brazil. They call themselves FLEESH. They have covered a lot of songs, as well as doing their own thing. As a person who has been listening to music since 1963,I'm impressed by their musicality and taste. Over past 10 years, they have released tribute albums to glHenesis, Pink Floyd, Marilyn, and Renaissance as well as their own music. Check out their channel!
I've watched probably 50 to 60 or more reactions to this very clip for over 4-5 years now, and I can honestly say this is the first time I have seen a negative comment put towards it. literally the first time. ever. let-alone a comment as general and misdirected as "HORRIBLE! Just awful!!" This feels like a joke almost. Or a comment from a child. Because if you couldn't make it even 10 seconds I question your ability to critique anything. or sit at a dinner table. or read instructions on pill bottle. I mean-wow. I agree with you Harri "diamonds on the ears". and yes, anyone is allowed their opinion. and this is an open thread on a public forum. that is true. so I am giving you my opinion on your opinion. good luck.
4:58 I've seen Morgan perform live 5 times now. At one of the Meet and Greets, I asked her if she had ever heard from Steven Tyler or anyone representing him. I thought I saw an almost imperceptible change in her face (disappointment?). She said no but defended him by saying so many people cover that song and they're pretty busy people. So if he has heard it, he hasn't offered his opinion to her. Anyway, I've been a BIG fan of Morgan since 2014 and I absolutely LOVE her!!! Morgan studied opera at Julliard (her classical training is why she has those big pipes) and has performed on Broadway (Motown, The Musical, Godspell, The Addams Family and others). Under the wing of Berry Gordy Jr. (of Motown Records), she was signed under Epic Records and released two albums. She decided to break out on her own and started Hedonist Records LLC as an Indy. She has her own band and is married to the guitar player, Doug Wamble. If I may suggest, check these other covers from Morgan out as well. All About That Bass, Meghan Trainor. This is where I first discovered Morgan James ruclips.net/video/aLnZ1NQm2uk/видео.html Call My Name, Prince - Prince rarely gives permission to record his songs but within minutes of hearing Morgan's cover, he said yes ruclips.net/video/DhbS3BFtXDk/видео.html Maps, Maroon 5 - I'll be honest here. I hadn't heard Maroon 5's Maps before so I went and listened to it. IMO, Morgan does it so much better! ruclips.net/video/8gO_lxThc1M/видео.html Can't Stand the Rain, Ann Peebles - LOVE this, one of my favorites. ruclips.net/video/Nu9TbHbUWDA/видео.html Ain't No Way, Aretha Franklin - Another top favorites of mine.

But it's so fun! ruclips.net/video/UN2AZ28mKes/видео.html She does more than just covers, much more. Here's one of my favorite originals by her: Reckless Abandon - Morgan performs all the vocals in this song so you may want to listen to it over and over to catch it all. In fact, she does all the vocals for the entire Reckless Abandon album. ruclips.net/video/08e3z1ehZgU/видео.html Just for the fun of it, here's one that I recorded the first time I saw her live in concert at The Dakota in Minneapolis, MN doing the same song, Reckless Abandon ruclips.net/video/rAgYQj7bBes/видео.html And here's some more originals.

They flock to these reactions like clowns to a circus. Note: I'm not dissing Haley AT ALL. She's extremely talented and a wonderful singer in her own right.
What a fantastic voice this woman has and I love Postmodern Jukebox a lot. Thank you Mr B and Harri.
Cynthia - I didn't know that you enjoyed Postmodern Jukebox. I am glad that you enjoyed this one with Morgan James.

@@davebzen795😂, comprende mucho, amigo 😉✌🏼
So great and cool and bluesy. What an awesome cover! Thanks, Harri and Dave.
More people ought to know of her. Try her version of Maps.
Beautiful. I knew this was a good song. Never knew it was a great song.
PMJ rotates members, but they're always topnotch. Got to see them a few years ago - great show! Lots of clever rearrangements of songs in unlikely styles.

PMJ is great live. You don't know who the singers and musicians will be. I've seen them three times. Always a great show. Scott Bradlee is a fantastic arranger.
I've been listening to Post Modern Juke Box for years. They mostly do covers, rearranged for some excellent music.
Great cover. Her sound reminds me of Lake Street Dive. Nice choice and commentary. Thanks Harri and Dave 🌸💐✌️

Agreed!
PMJ practices the Craft of taking the extra, un-needed make-up off of the beautiful and adds the essentials to transform them into the sublime.
Can we please get a lava lamp and a pina colada here? Seriously, I enjoyed your elegant, favorable comments. Enjoy, and thanks.
Great reaction. Every performance by Morgan is fantastic. You might enjoy following up with her video performances of Maps (with PMJ); Baby, I Love You (with her husband); and Oh Me, Oh My (with her own band - including her husband, Doug).
Thank you for the heads-up. I can not get enough of Morgan's stunning vocals.

Ps Harry, I've got to say you're looking good man!
Dave what a fantastic selection 👍👌👋 Love, love it cheers from Denmark 🥰

Gorgeous rendition.

Great reaction to a fantastic cover song,.You should check out Haley Reinhart with PMJ doing a cover of "Creep" Also different but fantastic.
It's a 100% must see
@@jamiemacdonald436 I totally agree
First I heard this lady was her rendition of Maps with PMJ. I was blown away. Check it out.
Check out Postmodern Jukebox cover of 'all about the bass'
Yes Harri looks so cute. Don't worry my name is Bobbie but I'm female and you look so cute
Blues vs. Blues/Rock.
Dream on - Aerosmith
Great voice BUT it's just not the same song without Steven Tyler..he makes that song and.piano on the live performance
Good grief.
I couldn't make it even 10 seconds! HORRIBLE!! Just awful!! 🤮
Should've checked the expiration date before you ate. Hope you feel better.
