      I'd compare it to eating a bowl of cereal.

    Amazing, not only does Morgan know how to deliver the performance but also knows how to work the microphone turning her head and very the distance when needed to get the volume and tone right. Singers, .. pay attention. This is how it's done. Oh, and by the way that's not some super sensitive condensor mic, that's a Shure SM7 dynamic mic! So you can just image the sound levels coming from her that requires those kind of moves. This session is a master class in... class :-).

    I was impressed with Morgan when I saw her with Post Modern Jukebox but I did not connect with her on an artistic level because I thought that PMJ was just a fun gimmick. So a couple of years ago now RUclips put this very video in front of me. When I read the title my initial reaction was who does this woman think she is singing this classic Aretha song? So it was with if not hate then serious skepticism that I pressed play. Totally stunned at what I experienced I pressed play again, and again and again. I listened to this song for 45 minutes straight trying to figure out what was happening to me. The answer was simple. Morgan James is a world class singer. She is an artist in full. Listening to her music has been a joy in my life. This was my gateway to a total Morgan James addiction. Looking forward to seeing her perform in person someday soon.
