Morgana King and Andy Williams....'Corcovado'

[@Torontobears]

I will never understand why this amazing artist wasn't a much bigger star in her day!

[@bradly2007]

Morgana sounds magical & combination of Morgana & Andy is inspired and sublime turning "Corcovado" inside out creating a stunning vocal masterpiece. Bravo Morgana & Andy!

[@johnholloway2445]

man that just stps me in my tracks..........so much emotion

[@ernestdavidharris]

Always admire Morgana King since back then,what a voice just great!!!!!

[@johnholloway2445]

oh man the singer we had back then

[@TheCmalloy]

OMGosh, she had such range. How am I just discovering her? She was fantastic!

[@BUKCOLLECTOR]

Christine Malloy : I’m 73 and she had a small but worldwide cult following in the 1960s early 70s. Celestial heavenly voice, unique and mesmerizing. When a song by her came over the radio, within the first 30 seconds you KNEW it was Morgana and you stopped whatever you were doing to listen. If I may so bold as to suggest you listen to the following 2 songs that will silence your mind and open the floodgate of your heart. They were created and posted by a “ Morgana fan” with remarkable imagery which enhanced the emotional impact!! You’ll love them. And hope you add them to your playlist so that others may enjoy. Please KZbin “ Morgana King Happy Birthday June 2017” ( 4:26 in duration) “ Morgana King Prelude to a kiss” ( 3:49 duration) And one more that she is to this day her signature song about a lover that promised to return but never did. A real heartwrencing song. “ Morgana King sings a taste of honey” ( 5:17 duration). So pleased that the younger generation who I send these songs to -like yourself -are amazed and become instant fans. R.I.P. Morgana Al

If you remember, Morgan King played the role of Mama Corleone in the Godfather.

Beautiful!

[@lamontlewis]

Makes my toes curl and I feel myself rising out of my seat and making a fist and..... Jesus, It's just emotional for me.

[@lpperrone]

The time was not ready for such a fantastic talent!!

[@madeleineplatt2750]

Outrageously....fantastic.........delicious!

[@choclinda]

A magnificent and unique rendition of Quiet Nights. With Morgana Fan and Andy Williams. So emotional for me.

[@samchristie913]

He would later record Corcovado as Quiet Nights and Quiet Stars for His Single

[@rufinodeleon162]

What a spell, a dreamy spell.

[@fabjohnhall]

I love her "theremin" notes sooo much!

[@donpkra]

amazing music making

[@thawbean]

She was my mothers greatest vocalist influence and from the the age of 7 till today and that's over 48 years. I have always listen to every record I could ever find by this amazing talent! I have enjoyed and shared her beautiful voice with everyone that i have shared music with.. Her "Taste of Honey" Album should be in everyone collection. Her "Easy Living" "Bluesette" "Prelude to a Kiss" "Diindi" "Desfinado" a Bosa Nove classic and here rendition of "All Blues" by Miles Davis is simply astonishing! I have been in love with this voice all of my life and I hope one day to share it with my Grandchildren.

[@lamontlewis]

A voice like this comes along maybe once in a century, perhaps longer. How effortlessly she commands notes unreachable by the average alto. Yet, she can delve into the lowest regions of soprano and tenor. You have good taste. So too, did your mom.

[@daver4567]

Sidney Lloyd Great comments on Morgana. FYI: I've talked to her recently and she's still here :-)

[@HEAD3455]

Dave R Williams had a lousy voice FAH

[@unCarlFarbmanLike]

HEAD3455 you have a lousy ear

[@lamontlewis]

Andy had as smooth a voice as ever there were. Wasn't always fond of the music he chose to sing, but whatever it was he chose, it was done well by him.

[@jcgary]

incredible. I never saw this before.

[@dbzluis1]

Just last night i heard Frank Sinatra singing this song Corcovado and it was magical, can't stop think about it...... wow!

[@BridgetteMcCaskill]

BRAVURA!

[@kalpubinc]

Morgana's Classical vocal training brings a down-hearted "ethereal" feeling to the Brazilian beat of Corcovado. She sings in mezza voce without sounding operatic at all; the freedom attained through her training makes possible her dazzling improvisational vocal instrumentation in the duet, which is so breathtaking that Andy Williams cannot disguise his enjoyment. He even invites her back to the show. This is certainly a "classic". Thanks for posting it.

[@ocnoreen]

She is the boss of bossa nova and every other genre.

[@ekueko]

Morgana the QUEEN King!!

[@BruceTheSillyGoose]

andy williams is transformed utterly when he sings in portuguese. and nobody can equal morgana.

[@cainscutthroats]

I wore out my The Taste of Honey album. Lazy Afternoon! She touches my soul shakra!

[@msdanford77]

For all you Morgana fans out there: Sony/Legacy released a cd of the 1964 Lp "A Taste Of Honey" back in 1991. Unfortunately this song and Lazy Afternoon are not on it. I wonder why. In place of Corcovado there is a nice version of Meditation instead. The cd is very hard to find as it has been out of print for sometime. I agree with all of you Corcovado and Lazy Afternoon should have been on the cd. However, I just checked and the entire album is available for MP3 download on Rhapsody.

[@CineRocco]

For what you had to work with, you did a really nice job with the video presentation. Thanks very much for posting this gem. It´s beautiful.

[@elisabethmisheletti9229]

♥️♥️

[@morganafan]

Some time ago I contacted Tamara Shad who produced the 1991 Mainstream reissue of "A Taste Of Honey" and asked her about Morgana's remaining Mainstream recordings that were not included on the CD ("Lazy Afternoon", "Corcovado", etc). Apparently someone (not Morgana) holds the copywrite for the tracks and they wouldn't make them available for reissue on CD.

[@bradly2007]

what about now that her son is releasing more Mainstream catalog, hopefully there will be more Morgana

[@nickandnora2]

Sigh. Champagne that sings.

[@ronniemorris1944]
