I'm a man in my 50s. I was apparently quite a singing talent as a child. I often performed solo for large crowds. I quit at 10 because I couldn't stand the pressure placed on me by my parent, and the jeers of my young friends. I haven't sung publicly for decades. Morgan, after discovering you recently, I've decided to take up singing lessons to not let my talent - whatever level it is - go to complete waste before I die. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@siypic]

Sing for yourself and because you can detomaso.

[@raydavis2101]

Morgan could sing the entire phone book and I would listen!

[@kenballantyne1583]

Me too❤

[@dalerieger5927]

I admire how she uses her great skills to interpret the lyric without drifting into the histrionic gymnastics that plague so many singers.

[@IK_1980]

She does a beautiful rendition, but she doest overpower songs sometimes. Here she finds balance 👍

[@enzetta3717]

Well said!!!!

[@pathanna4390]

How I watch Morgan....1st I click `LIKE` THEN I watch and Listen. Never have I unliked ANYTHNG she sings EVER ! WOW, oh WOW. Soooooo Good !

[@glgl1472]

I like this arrangement the last time I heard this song Linda Ronstadt sang it in the '70s yes I'm that old and unfortunately she can't sing anymore but Morgan can keep it up baby you sound great

[@stephenlutz3907]

Beautiful performance, incredible harmonies. Morgan, you never fail to amaze, enthrall and delight. What a talent...what a lady! ❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@christopherallen9580]

This is fantastic! Also love Eva Cassidy's version and the original recording by James Carr.

[@mbjsrl]

Very good version...the best I heard, since Andrew Strong (Alan Parker's 1991 - The Commitments soundtrack)

[@nauticski]

I agree. I'm also fond of Ry Cooder's instrumental version.

[@SZiuAlu]

@@nauticski guys, we have a match! Both Cooder's and Strong's are my fav versions! I love Morgan, but Andrew got the song at its best. GG and peace y'all!

Beautiful harmonies, Morgan and Melissa. There is a saying in NZ; "He korokoro korimako" = "the throat of a bellbird". Beautiful, clear and strong notes.

[@volkerfriedritz8149]

Absolutely... At least someone mentions the great background vocalist. So "on point"... Both the ladies are absolutely amazing! Oops.. I forgot the piano player... All together makes this an extraordinary performance.

[@slbily1996]

First time I heard this song was watching "The Commitments" ... a long time ago (trying no to age myself). Loved the song then .. love it now! I discovered Morgan James on Postmodern Jukebox a few weeks ago .. and I have been a huge fan of hers ever since. I love how she puts so much emotion into her songs. Best version of this song that I've ever heard!

[@PussyWillowsandPancakes]

Music needs No mask....No borders. No boundaries. Nice number🇨🇦❤️🥰

[@jamesmchugo9422]

The harmonies with Melissa, simply wow.

[@asliedrecht1048]

Wow what a voice pff. Call my name ... that higg pitch (carscene) hits me every tine. Remembered the first time i heard that song on youtube and thought ??? So high almost opera hight. Wow.

[@TheGYTC]

Morgan your voice is one of the best sounds I heard in My life. the world isn't fair for not giving it more attention

[@billwatts5677]

Perfection is all I can say. I pray God grants you the desires of your heart.

[@barswild]

Завораживающе! Великолепная Морган, чудесная Мелисса! Вы превосходны!

[@craigslinkman1348]

Two lovely ladies using their God given their talent to the best of their abilities!

[@RandalSmith]

Who in hell gave this a thumbs down? Awesome as usual.

[@StephSancia]

🙏 soulful magic 🙏

[@thewildcherry]

Morgan, if you read this, I was at the Reno James Bond concert. I have one complaint: I wanted to hear you sing more songs. Wow! Your change of dresses and hairstyles to go with the songs even made it better. I have been a major fan since first hearing you on PMJ and now my wife (a singer, too) is as well. Thanks for the concert. We love ya! Come back to Reno.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Melissa Musique? Got to be one of the COOLEST NAMES I've come across recently. Lovely performance everyone.

[@frankpugh9041]

Morgan, you never fail to pull a listener in to a song. Bravo! Props to the entire trio...you guys hooked me from the start.

[@koolkat808hawaii]

Great version. Looking forward to seeing & hearing you on Maui on the 23rd.

[@Soundartprojekt]

Hi Morgan, very nice wir Wonderful Voices

[@jgunnels6773]

Morgan can sing any song and make it sound great.

[@horsesslo-moaction4938]

Brian Charette is a great pianist - prefer him on piano rather than organ - such a great touch, with a live instrument.

[@kculbert7789]

I'm a fan. Going to share her with people.

[@SARDOG]

One of my favorites... 🤗🤗🤗

[@johnshifflette1218]

I'm Blown Away 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nancykopko2832]

Greatest cheating song ever written and I’ve never heard it sung better! Y’all made me cry ❤️

[@DrummerChristianHoffe]

Great performance!🎶

[@nora1172]

❤️😁very beautiful

[@roberthinkel1362]

Alway thought this was a great song..loved this

[@almohvn33]

I was at that dark end one time in my life. I am not proud of it. Never say, "I would never do that" for.. one never knows in life. But, there is only one man for me... and always will be .... I just fell into the dark end... one time in my life.

[@gabylocatelli3093]

Sublime magnifique voix 🥰

[@davidwhite2011]

Penn recalled to Mojo magazine January 2008 how they came to write this song: "Me and Chips were in a poker game, and we took a break and went back to our room. And there was a guitar and we started the song. I wrote it as far as I could and handed it to him and we finished it up really fast. It was maybe a year before James Carr recorded it. And the reason James Carr got it was because he was next. That's the way they used to get the songs in Memphis, whoever was next got the next song.

[@MerlinMerlinL]

very beautiful

[@joeblackburn1484]

Morgan is a beast! Everything she does. And, a shout out to the beautiful lady singing harmony. Oh hell! Yes

Nicely done!

[@ralphwood9865]

Oh Morgan you made my day again , just pure gorgeous

[@johneicholz8802]

Linda ronstadt's version was my favorite for years. Your version equals her version and possibly surpasses it. Please come to Ohio on a tour we love you. That is an awesome collection of guitars your husband has

[@lynnnicholas5832]

A beautiful rendition. Your backing singer also has a gorgeous voice

[@dirkschmitz3096]

Schön Dich zu hören. Gut und fleißig. Kompliment.

[@mondialdriver1]

I watch all your videos and I think you are great, you have a voice signature that is fantastic.

[@Rick-tt6yq]

I just love this song...and so very well done here....honey voices dripping into my ears.

[@andrewrobertson3894]

I really appreciate it when musicians bring their own interpretation or rendition of a classic, rather than just performing a copy of one.

[@armadillotoe]

I sincerely hope the joy and happiness you give to so many people come back to you tenfold. Thank you.

[@albertorodriguezr.5502]

Maravillosa!! Desde México Saludos!!
