As a 65 year old musician, I have to thank UA-cam for providing real musicians a chance to be heard over the din produced by coke inundated producers, studios and the "music business" as it has come to be known; to start bringing back artistry and real musical gifts that people LIKE ALL OF THESE share with the public. Who wouldn't love Morgan James for all that she brings to bear? Don't forget about the musicians that are wrapping her up in a pretty sonic package. That is a most underrated skill. These guys have it, in my opinion. Beautiful.
And singers who are TRAINED vocalists
Agree
*Exactly*, all of it
Amen brother
Agreed. I saw Morgan in concert 2 weeks ago. She's the most amazingly talented singer I've ever seen, and I'm a boomer.
Her Guitarist/Co-Songwriter Doug Wamble has great skills as well. The drummer and bassist were top notch as well. An evening I'll never forget. Her 2020 album of Soul originals and 2023 album of R&B originals are outstanding, and highly recommended.
I love how Morgan completely owns a cover, but still gives respect & love to the original! And the musicians nailed it
This is the first singer that does this song better than Sting himself. Just perfect.
Sting said this was about an imagined woman he thought about while he was staying at a red light district with his band. The way Morgan sings this song - Roxanne comes to life, the pain the sadness and desperation is so evident. This is how this song should be sung. Brilliant!
She enjoys singing. She's not owned by the "Music business,l and that is why she's so damned good. She's got vocal power.
I admire how she combines a superbly tuned instrument with an understanding of the song's story that few singers have ever possessed. She's brilliant and this is one of the most perfect jewels in her fabulous catalog of covers.
by far the best cover ever, chills came down my spine every second, so moving and powerful. unbelievable. this are the kind of artist we need, no more autotune, no more catchy songs with no meaning, i don't care if this is a cover, neither the original nor other cover brought me those feelings, thank you.
I heard Roxanne more that a thousand times. But, this was the first time I cried. Thank you Morgan!
She could sing the phone book and I would still listen
eilish fitzgerald - It would be difficult for me to agree with this statement more than I already do.
eilish fitzgerald Fantástica observação!
eilish fitzgerald Just discovered her. WOW! WOW!
+eilish fitzgerald I agree with you.
+eilish fitzgerald абсолютно прав)))
Miss Morgan, every time you sing anything, i get goosebumps and my eyes leak. Bless you
I've listening to music since 1959 and I'll tell u no one could out sing MJ. A living miracle
If I were Sting I would invite this young lady for tea and toast and thank her wholeheartedly for this new light she is sheding on Roxanne...
+vinobody Amen to that!
Check out what she did for Prince's Say My Name
Hotter. she did him justice
Thumbs up again!
Tears.
Just beautiful.
Love The Police. Love Sting's voice.
Love this brilliant cover just as much.
The arrangement. The musicians. The voice. Her phrasing. Perfect.
Honestly, I don't even watch the video, I just listen. This lady knows how to sing soul music, and she's awfully good at it. I respect this kind of talent.
listening over and over and over again and I can't stop myself. Her voice is killing me. Killing me softly with her song!
Morgan James without question is one of the finest female singers not only dings with soul but passion.
Indeed
We need that type of passion for the music that you have in this generation, you are amazing....
Wow...not a lot of words to this classic by Sting ...She sure covered so so so many feelings...makes a grown man cry!
This cover brought literal tears to my eyes, so beautiful.
I wish to describe precisely how amazing this performance is. I'm afraid that I can't.
A soft call. In fact, traces of hardened emotions and subsequent expression. Sounds and emotions dance wrapped around each other. I love you
You can easily understand every word, the power and texture is wonderful...... I love her.
Wow. Just wow. I cannot understand why everybody in the world has not heard of this woman. She's got more talent in her little finger than all the vacuous, overrated pop stars put together have in their whole bodies.
I would just like to say, as someone who literally grew up with this era of song (I was about 16 when Roxanne was released by the Police), this is adult subject matter. Obviously, the version by The Police is amazing, groundbreaking and you simply cannot replicate Sting's voice, Stewart Copeland's drumming and Andy Summer's guitar. That all being said....it is truly breathtaking to see a woman take on the vulnerability and despair of someone truly caught in the middle of this tragic situation. I really enjoyed this and my ultimate respects not only to Morgan James, but also for the piano voicing which truly complements the moment.
What does it for me is her virtuosity passion and dedication to detail of having the lyrics clearly presented in such a unique way that it draws you in every time
An absolutely phenomenal voice and talent!! Don't care what she's singing, I'll listen!! ❤
Perfection through and through! Incredible dynamics
Her Voice Is So Pure...Love It...
This has to be the best cover of this song. My goodness!
+henrymakepeace George Michael does a kick ass version as well
Personally ... celebrating today .. the 100th time through, and still incredibly moving and beautifully stirring. Just GORGEOUS!!
Thank God more Morgan James Songs to listen to!!!
only music is able to penetrate to the depths of our being, thanks Morgan, Doug, Roy and Jeff.
Got to see her live in Orlando yesterday. AMAZING. Even got a pic with her. She is even more gorgeous in person. If any of you have a chance to see PMJ or Morgan in concert...DO IT!! Its amazing! and they all stayed around and took pics and did autographs (for free) till EVERY single fan had left. I have never seen any artist or band do that before.
charismatic9904 Unfortunately, she's not coming to Seattle with PMJ in June. Arrrggghhhh!!! :(
Ah man that sucks...I know how u feel though because I was hoping to see Morgan/Haley/Ariana and Robyn but Robyn didn't come...the other 3 did though so 3 out of 4 aint bad lol.
charismatic9904 I hope that she is coming down under with them in September.
charismatic9904 im hoping that haylee and morgan in particular come down under with PMJ
charismatic9904 I went to Richmond Va for the PMJ concert and after the show I got to talk to her. Then I realized that voice comes out of a very petite talented singer. Wonderful to chat with her.
I love the voice of Morgan James. Typically I will start on one song and listen and listen and listen again. However this song is a totally new ballgame, a whole new level. Excellent work! thank you.
New worlds are created through your voice. Amazed!
WOW. Morgan does it again. Goosebumps. All over.
This young lady has one of the purest voices ever. And she can make her voice do whatever. The Hozier cover and this one...just a few of my favs of her. Dayum..she can sing !!!
How does she make everything better. Her sound and soul is just intoxicating, leaves me smitten.I'm going to try to match that passion in my endeavors, whatever they may be.
WOW! that's all I can say, hands shaken and chills.
Such a FORCE of nature. Thanks Morgan.
Love this, like a blues hymn. Not sure why but my mind went to the idea of this going straight into Stairway to Heaven.
Morgan, you got a gift, your voice and the way you sing each song your way is fantastic.
BANG!
You knocked this one out of the park Morgan.
Your performances are absolutely spellbinding.
"Wow, the video is over, let's hear again...Wow, the video is over, let's hear again...Wow, the video is over, let's hear again...Wow, the video is over, let's hear again...Wow, the video is over, let's hear again...Wow, the video is over, let's hear again..."
Rhamsés Soares DITTO!
Rhamsés Soares LOL! Felt this way listening to her singing "Maps". I lost count of the replays but it was well over an hour worth whilst sat drawing at my desk. Superb voice.
Rhamsés Soares That is exactly how I felt after watching, and watching, and watching. I've been on the road for the last couple of days. It made my morning when I saw she had posted a new video. It was almost like Christmas morning.
+Bikerbloke99
I got the same feeling when hearing her 'Take Me To Church'. I still can't process it rationally!
And the 'Roxane' is also awesome!!!
I can totally relate! And I'm here again, after almost two years. BTW if you click right on the mouse you can loop the song ;).
Eargasm from the first to the last note. What a phenomenal voice and omg what a woman!
I've just discovered Morgan James on youtube. This is about the 6th video of her I've watched in succession and I'm going to watch some more. I have a new favourite vocalist. Wow! What a voice! And she puts so much expression and emotion into it too. She's also quite a stunning looking woman. Doug, you're a very lucky lad my friend.
WOW.
Awesome.
The soft parts.
The crescendoes.
Awesome.
Truly phenomenal ..... Morgan James has earned a number one fan here
Oh my god, this is so beautiful. That voice, feeling and passion! Thank you!!!
Amazing. Great version. Impossible to beat. Morgan James is great
Best voice I've ever heard... It's even better than the original. I love her voice. Who agrees with me ?
+sidric yohan 100% agree
Makes you believe in God because only he could make a voice like that
Gorgeous voice. Not better than the original, but a wonderful cover.

Awesome job! The song is made for a powerful voice and you delivered.
, This chick can sing! Wonderful voice. Such emotion ,range and control.
This is beyond all the usual superlatives. It is soul speaking here. She could sing anything and it would still be there. So great.
Omg! So Amazing voice, i cant stop watching this video, love her voice, i watch over n over n over n over again!
The arrangement is off the charts! What a voice and wonderful backing....
She is a living Legend
I have heard the Police version many times & enjoy the song. With Morgan's version I get shivers. Love it.
So powerful and moving. Thank you.
This was so right.
The band was so good and as always the voice and execution were golden.
Goosebumps n' chills.
i always thought this was such a sad song... i think morgan killed it here, such a great version
Amazing! Lost for words.
She has true talent. Wonderful.
Wow,….. the feel of that rendition was so intense! The instruments, the voice and the conveyance of the story all perfectly melded together in just the right proportions.
hands down this is one of her best covers!
Absolutely my new favorite artist!
That voice. THAT VOICE. GOD! my ears are satisfied.
so happy to discover this lovely voice! What a gift!
OMG I am obsessed with her....I get goose bumps listening to her!!!! Saw her in concert at the MIM in Phoenix and it was amazing!!
Love and respect from Saudi Arabia
3 hours now, have I scrolled, 'twas daylight when I first fell under 'Her' spell..
Mahalia Jackson flows in this woman's vocals.
I were a youngster growing up in rural New Zealand mid 1970's, for same reason now, mid 2017 I'm stung by the Power and Soulful joy of hearing a voice of texture.
Just an awesome take on this great song...Brilliant!
Pure perfection
She is so damn good. I wish I could do that with my voice. She gives new life to this classic.
This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard.
She could sing Happy Birthday that still will be marvelous!
Absolutely awesome, thank you Morgan.
perfection. vulnerable. raw.
Goosebumps.
Your voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. That is such an amazing version of Roxanne.
Just beautiful!!

I love this so much. I've listened this very many times, and it truly hits me. You're very inspiring, I love the power you've got.
