There is NO reason why this beautiful and talented woman isn't more famous than this. I cannot think of many women that can sing as well as this woman. The control and power of her voice is breathtaking!
It is because shecan actually sing. She also picks great material. And she doesn’t autotune the crap that passes for music these days. Could be her jazz background since you have to actually sing to carry that off. She carries it off...magnificently!
Don't underestimate the talent of stars and the Broadway/Hollywood world (that James is party to anyway). There are reasons, including careful career management by James herself...
When I was young many, many decades ago involved with the music world..Not the best were always chosen.. Politics ruled.. Talent was important BUT.. Looks and presentation also.. Now anyone can get recognition in this new world.. And seen certain people got "signed "on just so they couldn't compete with other up and coming stars..
I really don't understand how Morgan hasn't become more mainstream. I've been following her for years. Love her work with Postmodern Jukebox. Their channel is where I first heard her and I've been hooked ever since.
Effortless? Huh? Have you got any idea on how many hours a week one does need to work "so hard" in order to achieve and then maintain a certain level? Even one's whole life have to be oriented to that single aspect of their life. One cannot even eat what one wants. In my (humble) experience, nothing has ever been achieved by sheer talent. It's there or not. Yet it's just the start... It's kinda like that famous 5 minutes plus years story... - How can you charge such steep a price for such a tiny job! It took only 5 minutes of your time. - 5 minutes plus 40 years buddy ;) On the other hand, I hear what you mean, and still I don't agree. Not effortless at all... She's living in another dimension while singing, how can that be effortless :D
Effortless ?..... She's fucking purple. This shit needs strength, power and 3 lungs. This is said to you with laughter and smiles, no offense intended, ya bloody wanker.
Another awesome cover from a talented lady. Why is Morgan not more famous? She blows just about every au currant pop star out of the water. Sitting on that piano "indian style" singing an epic Eric Clapton tune, she just became my official girl crush.
I love how Morgan can cover a classic song from a legendary artist and just make it her own version with a slight rearrangement of the track but most of all, the powerful delivery of her voice and her great talent. Amazing talent, hope to see you perform again (in Montreal).
Same here. I think she must do her own choreography on the songs she covers cuz she hits the nail on the head so hard that she drives it home with ease. She sings as if she grew up in the blues bars in New Oeans! This girl is just awesome to listen to. I love hearing nobody's cover the best music and she didnt cover it she remade it all over again! With those who cover the music you can pick out the areas that stand out as faults in your mind and then you can decide how you would do it differently. Very hard to do with her covering the song cuz she's already done the mixture of choreography, slowed up or sped up the beat where she needs it, and alters just enough of the notes to make the song her own. To me that is sheer perfection.
WOW! A GREAT BIG WOW! Just love how Morgan can take a song that was never a special song to me. And make it a special song to me. It’s not like I never liked the song lay down Sally. But I never saw anything special about it. Until now.
My brother Rusty Yates blues singer and keyboard player and we love your music shout out to my brother, my Aunt Carol Lee was one of the best orchestra singers you bring a lot of inspiration to our family a lot of big band and Blues in our family
I've seen this hundreds of times now, it never fails to blow me away. I'm zoned in on Doug's playing try to figure out how to play it in this style. Mind you I said "play" not sing, as that would be impossible.
I'm loving the CLEAR respect this lady has for the classics! She feels that soul just as powerfully as she belts em on out! GREAT use for a GREAT voice! Thank you!!!
Sitting on the piano. Nice touch. Get comfy. Now, think of all those poor people who have never heard Eric Clapton sing this song. That piano player is no slouch either.
NEVER, NEVER can Morgan's talent be caricaturized as anything but pure erotica. Ms. Morgan can make a deaf dead man stand up and grab life. Anyone that disagrees need only, Close eyes, open your heart, mind and let the voice take over and transport your being where ever it has been needing to go. Destination of your mind and soul will be the most undiscribable trip to, well, pure heaven😎
A three piece...and no percussive...and you don't even miss it...WOW! The 'percussive' is in those fine musician's string and key attacks on the downbeat. Very impressed back up, to a fine voice!
I am a HUGE Clapton fan and usually cringe at covers, especially re-arranged versions, but this is pretty bad ass I must say! Jazzy and funky and soulful. Well done!
I've just discovered JPM and I'm in love with them and James. But I will say that this is the first one I've seen that wasn't in one cut. That's one of the things I found so amazing about them.... they haven't pieced together 50 cuts to make a song. That's why I was a bit disappointed to see the camera move and then 2:14 is just jarring. I know I'm late the party and this video was made 5 years ago... but maybe we can go into our way-back machine and redo this one? Now I've realized that this is James... so I guess she's got their own thing going...
Dayum woman you tore that song up 💜your voice is amazing I could literally listen to you all day you have such passion and soul and I love your collabs with Marc Broussard he has amazing talent and soul as well I luv to hear him ....also luv that you do your own thing with the covers love how you slowed this one down and made it more bluesy ....keep doing your thang honey 💜
Another great song. I really hate coming to Morgan's channel, because I know I'll be here for about an hour...listening to new stuff...revisiting favorites (including her work with PMJ). Yep, another hour hour gone listening to my favorite vocalist. She REALLY needs a Dallas tour. And, kudos to another excellent Dunlap/Wamble arrangement. These guys know how to showcase her talent without over-powering her with the instruments.
The quality and brilliance of Morgan James is something to behold. Beautiful light and shade, with a soulful richness that utterly captivates. I have listened to this cover more times than I care to remember, and I am always astounded at her talent. This is what young people wanting to be singers should be aspiring to, as her technique is excellent, with such crisp notes, superbly controlled power tethered with a soft, delicate smoothness that all comes together to form one of the most unique, exceptional voices I have heard in many years. Exquisite, Morgan, as always! ❤
There are two ladies with whom I have a crush because of their passion on music. Morgan James is one of them. Her voice is charming and powerful. It 's always a delight for me listening to her as she sings. She does magic with her voice. The other girl is Samantha Fish, who is a solid blues guitarist and singer. When I listen to Samantha singing and playing I cannot avoid thinking of Janis Joplin. Samantha is as passionate as Janis was. Pity that neither Morgan nor Samantha have achieved the success they deserve.
I found PMJ just a couple of days ago. Love the concept and the musicians. Compliments to Scott Bradlee. Great singers like Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams and Morgan James. Love her version of LSD, oh sorry, LDS, and the way she curls her toes around the top cover of the piano.

Totally agreeeee!!!
Don't underestimate the talent of stars and the Broadway/Hollywood world (that James is party to anyway). There are reasons, including careful career management by James herself...
The age we live in. Everyone thinks they are special. Talent isn't understood or appreciated
When I was young many, many decades ago involved with the music world..Not the best were always chosen.. Politics ruled.. Talent was important BUT.. Looks and presentation also.. Now anyone can get recognition in this new world.. And seen certain people got "signed "on just so they couldn't compete with other up and coming stars..
Mr. Clapton, you may have written this song.
But MORGAN is the lady who knows how to sing it!
Bravo!
Morgan James is one of this era's best singers. And she can sing in so many styles, with so much soul.
Back after 6 years, still one of the best musical discoveries I have made on TH-cam.
Props to the pianist as well he absolutely killed it.
not to mention he looks like Clapton
Easy one of the absoutely best female singers there is today!! Nuff said!!
Morgan is a living jukebox. She can sing anything, and sing it perfectly.
Who sits astride a piano and belts out this iconic tune with such tempo tibre and passion?
I am in love❤🥰
Postmodern Jukebox got my attention to what this phenomenal woman could do vocally, and I have been captivated ever since!
She is simply amazing. Can’t believe 772 thumbs-down haters. Must all be tone-deaf fools.
I really don't understand how Morgan hasn't become more mainstream. I've been following her for years. Love her work with Postmodern Jukebox. Their channel is where I first heard her and I've been hooked ever since.
I have a feeling she won't play the bullshit big label game. Hope she does not get road Wery and keeps singing as she wants!
I am slightly obsessed with her effortless awesomeness. HUGE TALENT!
effortless awesomeness....I'm stealing that
Julia Tobey I think anyone not obsessed by her is not normal,I simply adore her and her husband
Effortless? Huh?
Have you got any idea on how many hours a week one does need to work "so hard" in order to achieve and then maintain a certain level?
Even one's whole life have to be oriented to that single aspect of their life. One cannot even eat what one wants.
In my (humble) experience, nothing has ever been achieved by sheer talent.
It's there or not.
Yet it's just the start...
It's kinda like that famous 5 minutes plus years story...
- How can you charge such steep a price for such a tiny job! It took only 5 minutes of your time.
- 5 minutes plus 40 years buddy ;)
On the other hand, I hear what you mean, and still I don't agree. Not effortless at all... She's living in another dimension while singing, how can that be effortless :D
Effortless ?..... She's fucking purple.
This shit needs strength, power and 3 lungs.
This is said to you with laughter and smiles, no offense intended, ya bloody wanker.
She is perfect in every way.
Wow... That's the most I have ever liked and enjoyed that song. Incredible.
Just imagine going to an after hours joint, dark and smokey... these four people step up to the stage just to jam. heaven to me
Perfect example of taking a mundane song, this one a lazy Clapton era effort and making it come to life. Sound is so clean!
Another awesome cover from a talented lady. Why is Morgan not more famous? She blows just about every au currant pop star out of the water. Sitting on that piano "indian style" singing an epic Eric Clapton tune, she just became my official girl crush.
You will have to stand in line.
You got to have some own songs to become famous.. many people can sing...
tell that to Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, etc etc
She does. They're amazing.
...Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Aretha Franklin, Ringo Starr-the list goes on.
Just got back from seeing her live.
WOW! Just plain WOW!
I will see her every time she returns.
Man I love the small venue.
she’s stunning
Sitting. Cross-legged. And still pumps out the music. Where does she keep her auxiliary lungs?
Morgan is top of the line it don't get any better
The piano lids value just increased ten fold.
I don't get impressed by much in the modern era, but this woman knows how to SING
I've heard her sing classical, too. She is extraordinary.
I watch this every few months or so.... she didn't sell out $$$, but this comes at a price
Sitting cross-legged on the piano... amazing.
I love how Morgan can cover a classic song from a legendary artist and just make it her own version with a slight rearrangement of the track but most of all, the powerful delivery of her voice and her great talent. Amazing talent, hope to see you perform again (in Montreal).

Guitar famtastic
I listen to this almost everyday. It's one of my favorite Morgan James covers.
WOW! A GREAT BIG WOW!
Just love how Morgan can take a song that was never a special song to me. And make it a special song to me.
It’s not like I never liked the song lay down Sally. But I never saw anything special about it. Until now.
The immense vocal talents of the delectable Morgan James never fail to bring me to "eargasm"
This woman owns this song!
Morgan is truly an emotive and incredibly talented singer. Such a way with the little details in a song. And such impeccable control. Sweet.
Oh my! The girl can sing! Damn! Wonderful voice! And she's beautiful too...
I haven’t heard such masterful singing since Janis Joplin, soulful and beautiful, wonderful, Thank You
My brother Rusty Yates blues singer and keyboard player and we love your music shout out to my brother, my Aunt Carol Lee was one of the best orchestra singers you bring a lot of inspiration to our family a lot of big band and Blues in our family
She’s very talented…as is the pianist!
I've seen this hundreds of times now, it never fails to blow me away. I'm zoned in on Doug's playing try to figure out how to play it in this style. Mind you I said "play" not sing, as that would be impossible.

Sitting on the piano. Nice touch. Get comfy. Now, think of all those poor people who have never heard Eric Clapton sing this song. That piano player is no slouch either.
Whoa! Awesome vocals, accompanied by the right musicians. Great choices. JUST right.
HAD to listen to that twice all the way through.
Morgan James !!! Yes ! Feed the song flame ! Baby you light "Our Fire" !!
Besides Morgan's beautiful voice and talent is that all original musical instruments; no techno. The old styles.
MY GOD,My first time listening to this unbelievable TALENT!!WOW!!!!!!!!!!
musician yep..she simply knocks me out
I'm so obsessed with Miss James. 🥰
Oh my... Do I love TH-cam suprises! Sorry for living under a rock for so long... What a VOICE!!
3 camera magnificents? Bravo everyone.
Superbe version
Best vocalist on TH-cam...or anywhere.
Spintown7 never a truer word spoken

how does Morgan James not have a few million subscribers?
The Hot, Sultry and Fine as Wine Morgan James just kills it on this classic. Somewhere Eric Clapton is crying.
Somewhere Eric Clapton is wanting to work with her.
Clapton wouldn't cry, he would applaud her.
Well done, Morgan James. Your voice is made for these types of songs. Love it.
All the best singers are on TH-cam these dawgs.
Super Version 🤗, exzellente Arbeit. Auf dem Flügel im Schneidersitz und dann so eine Leistung abliefern....ausgezeichnet
I would love to know what Mr Clapton thinks of this. The power and purity of her voice.....
She slays every song. She just can`t avoid it
She's signing from deep down in her soul.. what a powerful voice she has.. 😎
Stay safe everyone 😷!!!!
I have never experienced a musical talent like Morgan James!
A three piece...and no percussive...and you don't even miss it...WOW! The 'percussive' is in those fine musician's string and key attacks on the downbeat. Very impressed back up, to a fine voice!
FABULOUS!
Morgan James is the real deal. I'm sure she won't hear this for the first time... an exceptional talent. I'm listening.
BravO...! A real band that plays authentic classics. Love the way you put your own spin on the music and you do it very well. All the best.. :)
Great gawd almighty! What a talent! What control! What range! Utterly otherworldly pipes! Jaw on the floor time.
This gives me the chills.
Goosebumps every time! You go girl!!!
She's loving them bass notes
She made that her own. Magical!
Wow, this is what I love about this channel! Taking an absolute classic and putting a fresh spin on it, and it always sounds so incredible!!
Perfect song match for her vocal styling!!! ...!!!
The band - awesome!
Clicked for the beauty, stayed for the talent. Wonderful.
Her voice really is magical.
Paraphrasing Daryl Oats
Her beauty is there but the soul is in her heart
I am a HUGE Clapton fan and usually cringe at covers, especially re-arranged versions, but this is pretty bad ass I must say! Jazzy and funky and soulful. Well done!
It's such a pleasure to experience something SO good.
Naturally gifted.
Thanks. It was a pleasure to listen to!
Morgan James, Is not only very beautiful, she has a awesome voice.
Absolutely amazing! Great jam session! Morgan sings beautifully and the musicians are all on point!

Goosebumps....skyhigh! Wow!
You shine so brightly
A great example of passion in your job, well, with passion it´s not job it´s hobbyjob. Thanks for all Morgan James!
Makes me smile deep in my soul.....while making that "face."
...all of them - but MJ in particular - are the musical incarnation of "coolness"
What did I just find on here....Holy crap! Wow! ❤️💃
Knocked it outa the park. Again!
looks comfy on the edge of a grand...and man..did she deliver..great vocals...
Flowing and glowing like Stevie Wonder
Clapton would be proud
... aaahhh!! ... if there should be a thing to be called 'COOL' ... yes, this is it !! ... love it ... BIG SALUT from Austria !!
You are just great ! 🎉😊
ROCK/POP/SOUL/JAZZ 🤔 LOVE IT 💗💓
Dayum woman you tore that song up 💜your voice is amazing I could literally listen to you all day you have such passion and soul and I love your collabs with Marc Broussard he has amazing talent and soul as well I luv to hear him ....also luv that you do your own thing with the covers love how you slowed this one down and made it more bluesy ....keep doing your thang honey 💜

She is so good. The groove of the band makes is amazing too

For the love of God, thank you for Morgan James!
Gets better every time I listen!!

Most excellent. Stay the course, young lady.
That grand was a awesome touch...
I'm happy. I've got tickets to see MJ november 16th in Amsterdam, and Post Modern Jukebox 2 weeks later.
