    How can she have a voice like that and not be a HUGE star? I just don't understand this world sometimes.

      I understand what you mean, but imo I think it might be because she prefers to remain ‘independent’ and NOT be massively publicized by the media, management teams, restrictions that go along with this, etc. But I do agree 👍 that she’s a very talented vocalist. I’ve been listening to her for years now (I’m 70ish and 💕 ALL genres of music and always will).

    As a Philly boy who has loved this song forever, I never thought anybody but Teddy, Harold and the Bluenotes could ever do it justice. (And that includes the dishwater version by Simply Awful Red).
    Well, I shoulda known if anybody could, it would be my girl Morgan. Ooo, how that girl can make a song ooze outta her like Tabasco Honey! Just lovin it!!

    Such a beautiful voice. She never fails to deliver a new and amazing version with any song she does. My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting her and her husband at a meet and greet before a concert; as beautiful as her voice is, she as a person, and them as a couple, were even more beautiful! Down to Earth, friendly, and personable. The show itself was phenomenal. I highly recommend if you ever get a chance to see and hear her live, take that opportunity!!!

      @@chipgaasche4933 , the fact that you felt your opinion about her voice was superior to another's, and took the trouble to let us know, was indeed an occasion for mild amusement. The fact that you then took umbrage at that amusement and needed to lash out more harshly reveals a sad, wounded, pathetic aspect that should have been apparent to us in your first remark. No one wants to harm or hurt you, and we're sorry you didn't enjoy the performance. Of course you don't need our permission, or anyone's, to express your distaste. I hope you find other things that you enjoy more, and that bring you listening pleasure. Kind regards.

      As Motown born and raised. I call it crap. What is the deal with singers doing that warbleing like at 1:30 and at the end? Can't they hit the first note in that phrase, so they have to sneak up on it? Even Harold Melvin was a bit guilty in the original. Ruined what could have been my favorite song ever.
      This group needs a couple of more voices, sounds thin in the background.
