    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.

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

    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!

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

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.
