Thank you to all the MJ Patrons on Patreon who are supporting our music videos. We literally could not do it without you.
A special thank you to Tony Pereira, Brendan Iribe, Umur Akbay, Leon Koenck, David Silov, Chuck Cubbins, and Pierce Hacking for your very generous support!
She sings through her feet, arms, chest, soul, heart, lungs and vocal cords. Just everything!
YES!
And she hits all of it right on the nail head!! Wow!
@@jvtay999 yes, she sure does. We all know she is educated or trained in all things music but she was born with something, a gift that can’t be paid for.
She does a lot of Broadway, I understand. I bet she stops the show every time she steps on stage.
@@ty9884 I imagine she does too
Morgan James is amazing. I could listen to her and watch her sing all day long. Aretha would be proud of her contribution.
Four years after my first comments on this video, it still brings many goosebumps. Just fantastic.
Never in my life did I ever imagine anyone singing this song as well as Aretha. What a gift you are to this world, Morgan. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
Very gifted. Oh me ohh my
Don't know if you're familiar with the original recording by Lulu. You might enjoy it also.

I fucking hate this women. Bullshit over singing
yes
As an old guy, I've NEVER heard a better version of this song! Why is this ARTIST NOT GIVEN RECOGNITION SHE SO DESERVES??!!!
@Ramona Rael none the less.. this is some kind of "masterpiece" :-)
Absolutely correct. I discovered this...
and thought the exact same thing. What I was truly impressed by was in this video, look at her posture, temperament, and overall casualty she exhibits.
I'd compare it to eating a bowl of cereal.
Innate talent & beauty. Enjoy...

@Ramona Rael Also she does things her way. She is not bought and paid for.
@@wastedwishes7350 agreed, but I do wish Aretha could have heard this.
When you hear Aretha sing it… but I glad she did it
One of the very best singers of our era. Aretha would approve, appreciate and applaud your rendition .😎🤩
Musicians marvellous, but what an utterly astounding vocal performance! This was truly wonderful. Really in the stratosphere.
♥️
Tremendously emotional performance- but I always take note that every syllable, every breath is controlled and nuanced. It seems She has a phenomenal ability to control and build the drama in a performance. And yes, we can't forget the accompanyists who are right there to frame and build the sound. True professionals all.
Most of the time I am in physical pain, every day is hard- but songs, sung like this make me forget for a little while. Thank you Morgan 💌
❤️
Praying for your healing.
Hey really appreciate that❤
I seen the heart last week during my exams and it made my day.
Prayer too😊 you cant beat prayer x
I noticed when my legs started losing their strength, that I started using everything I had left to the maximum.
It doesnt get easier, but with hard work and prayer it sure does get better.
💚🤍🧡
I’m right there with you JJ. God Bless 🙏
Update: I have had the 2 spinal surgeries needed since 05' in the last 10 days. Wheeled down in ridiculous pain- first thought when I came to on 26.5 was that pain is gone😭 omg such an emotional week. I pray that pain never returns. Please celebrate life. Thank you for all support and prayer🕊🤍
Not the first time Morgan has done an Aretha cover. Ms. Franklin would be so happy. I am.
Again wow...why is this Lady not on something where people can hear her...cause radio is cheap..she's to good for it..I can't not watch this video just once...what an angelic voice...Dammit man
Yes ..her voice is heavenly
Morgan, you have a sweet, amazing, potent voice, not many people have all of those. Can't understand why you are not topping the charts.
Aretha looks down and smiles at Morgan James. Thanks for that tribute. You did the Queen proud, my lady.
I was just surfing UA-cam and ran across Morgan James and she has totally occupied my whole day. Beautiful, rich, captivating talent Morgan truly an angel!
This is my favorite performance of all time. She is Amazing. She ROCKS this gorgeous song!!!! Talent beyond compare.
RIP Aretha... Coming back to listen to this once again as such a lovely tribute to an amazing woman. Morgan encompasses the meaning of this song so well, it's a gorgeous performance.
Seeing that you enjoy this piece, you might also enjoy the original 1969 Muscle Shoals recording by Lulu. Aretha's 1972 rendition was a superb cover.
never heard of this wonderful artist. SHE KILLED IT..Obviously a big REE REE fan. she sang 2 of my favorite songs by Ms. Aretha
beautifully done
Dear Morgan I wish success and modesty will stay by your side in your great talent life. You have a rare talent and you do a very hard work. It's a real pleasure for soul listening you singing.
Amazing, not only does Morgan know how to deliver the performance but also knows how to work the microphone turning her head and very the distance when needed to get the volume and tone right. Singers, .. pay attention. This is how it's done. Oh, and by the way that's not some super sensitive condensor mic, that's a Shure SM7 dynamic mic! So you can just image the sound levels coming from her that requires those kind of moves. This session is a master class in... class :-).
My husband and I are big fans of Morgan. This is the best we've heard her sing. Incredible!!!
I'll just say what everyone else says...this woman deserves to be much more famous. She rivals any singer on the planet.
What a gift to us all! I feel so privileged to hear Morgan’s rendition…she feels and sings with her entire being….her voice is so big and full and soulful…Thank you, Morgan!
Morgan James!! She's got it ALL. The perfect package, looks, vocals and style!!
Morgan James
Lots of strength and power. You have become one of my favourite vocalists. Your operatic training shows. You rock.
I just love listening to Morgan, she is truly a gifted artist.
Just amazing, she one of the few that can do Aretha justice. 🤩🤩🤩
I fell in love with this cover and this incredible gift some months back. I return to this cover whenever I want to reach the stars,
I marvel at...the joy you exude with your instrument! The fates have blessed you! Much love and best wishes for many more years to come. Thank you for the gift of your incredible talent. and the musicians ain't bad either!
No flashy lights no half nudity just sheer pure talent and what a voice thank you for sharing x
She can sing .......I've been stuck on her ,... She amazing
Why is it that the most impressive vocal performances I've ever heard keep coming out of Morgan James. Song after song. Just Wow!!!!
I know there are many beautiful women in the world, but for me..😍 Morgan James is the most beautiful woman on this planet!
Her voice gives me goosebumbs and I love it😊
Thank you 😘
You enrich my live with your music!⚘
Greetings from Germany!
From all I know Aretha was a perfectionist, and I believe she is perfectly happy with your covering her. I know I most certainly am. WOW !
Forgot to breathe right there in the middle. Don't think I blinked either. DAYAM! she can sing it!!!
I would say that was an unbelievable performance only I know what Morgan is capable of, pure genius.
Vocal perfection! You are a treasure Morgan James!
I'm getting goose bumps... Morgan James, you're absolutely stunning!
Breath taking. You have to an exceptional singer to do this song justice.
The voice of an angel
What an amazing singer!!
What I always love is watching her using her whole body to sing, like she rips her soul and insides to give it all. It's entrancing
Morgan, you are GODDESS! ❤️ I'm speechless, this cover is spectacular! Bless you!
Morgan James is one of the MOST PHENOMENAL SONGSTRESS' in Modern Day! Her voice is Pure as the Heavens, smooth as Silk and more Soulful than some of these so- called modern day Black artist.
So why isn't she getting the RECOGNITION SHE SO RIGHTFULLY DESERVES?
Beats the HELL OUT OF ME!
A True & Loving Fan!

Lisa Edwards that I agree with too the artists today don't come close to the ones in the past
Lisa Edwards so for today and comparison this girl is incredible
One of our best performers of our time!
I’ve watched this hundreds of times now - and EVERY time I find myself swearing at the end ! How f***ing good was that? 🤩😍
I am the same sir...Dammit man she's awesome !!!
HalleluYAH! Praise the Almighty for all the soul singin sisters of all time. With Billie, Etta, Nina.... you dear Miss James have to be up there in my books as the modern soul sister. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the joy and tears your music has given me over many years.
Oh me, oh my...Morgan you are truly gifted. God bless you.
Is there anyone else on this planet that can go effortlessly from pure soul singing to classical soprano?( She has toured as a guest singer for symphonies)
She painted herself a masterpiece all over this audio canvas. What a gifted artist. Thank you to the New Queen of Soul.
She sounds good but she's no new queen of soul.
Wow always blown away by her. She always puts 110% into it. You can really feel her energy.
She's just so amazing!
Wonderful tribute to Aretha ~ she smiling in Heaven ~ much love and prayers ~ ❤❤❤ ~
Girl !!!!!!!!! Unbelievable, I'm sure Aretha is smiling down on you! Go on and put that CD out!!!!!❤
Much Love
OMf-ing God. I am speechless. The woman is the freaking Queen vocal artist of our lifetime. (I know she is one of many, but this moment, this performance, pulls me all the way in.
Ms Morgan,
That is and was a brilliant rendition of "Oh me oh my." It was operatic, soulful, and heart rendering. Thank you. It makes me feel good when I get the blues.
You don't quite sound like a Aretha, none the less it nails it. Thank you for your love, talent and soulfulness. I can tell you poured your whole being into it. Talent, love, and passion. You imbued it all.
Thank You;
Stephan
This is one of the best versions I have ever heard, rock on girl !🤠
Oh my God! I just fell in love AGAIN...
This is the best performance ive seen in a while !!!! What pipes!!! And beautiful! ❤❤❤
How am I just now hearing her! Oh me, oh my! Wow! Love finding actual artists! Thank you Morgan
One of my favorite Morgan James songs....it still gives me goosebumps. Morgan was in the right frame of mind when she sang this....and it shows in her performance as she was transported into the song.
Nothing less than stunning !!!
2020, still one of the best interpretations! There many good on this channel, but this is special.
I believe it is not possible to hear this too many times.
I was impressed with Morgan when I saw her with Post Modern Jukebox but I did not connect with her on an artistic level because I thought that PMJ was just a fun gimmick. So a couple of years ago now UA-cam put this very video in front of me. When I read the title my initial reaction was who does this woman think she is singing this classic Aretha song? So it was with if not hate then serious skepticism that I pressed play. Totally stunned at what I experienced I pressed play again, and again and again. I listened to this song for 45 minutes straight trying to figure out what was happening to me. The answer was simple. Morgan James is a world class singer. She is an artist in full. Listening to her music has been a joy in my life. This was my gateway to a total Morgan James addiction. Looking forward to seeing her perform in person someday soon.
I cannot think of anything to say and my breath is caught in my throat
Morgan - you are lovely! I love your voice and everything in you! May God grant you good health and all that you wish! Greetings from Ukraine!
Now there's a voice and beauty that blows the bloody doors right off its Hinges oh yeah 💥
I've seldom witnessed the power of a voice that pierces the flesh and ignites the soul. Morgan, you have a gift. Thank you for working hard to shine your light on all of us.
Every so often when my soul starts to run dry, I come back here to be refreshed. 😍
Unbelievably wonderful! My favorite of hers now. Sweet emotion and depth of soul on display here!
Wow. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND POWERFUL VOICE AND BEAUTY
Girl you sound GOOD. This is one of my favorites from the Queen ❤❤❤
I could watch Morgan on UA-cam all day... and it would be a great day!!!
try this recent version , ua-cam.com/video/qtFTq6VuEqE/v-deo.html . Really shows her evolution as a singer.
Well Dang lady! Yaaazzzz! I think the love light is shining down on you!
I'm now a BIG fan of Morgan James. Wow! After that, how could anyone not be?
Oh Me Oh My !!! WoW !!! There's levels Y'all .... Wow I am blown away !!!
I don't know how I missed you I'm 51 and I be damned you are the greatest
this really needed an audience because this deserved a standing O
I have no words to say about this brilliant performance keep like this
have heard many TRY to do this song.... you lady are the one and only voice that has done it justice ......thank you
Incredible voice, incredible performance. This is pure art. After enjoying this I have to be quite for some time.
I think this is my favorite video. Morgan you are amazing. I wish I would have found you a long time ago!
Wow.. what a discovery. Man I love what she did with that song...
Morgan's voice range, timing, passion and soul makes the hair on the back of my neck.. stand up🙏🔥❤️
Don't forget to be proud of yourself Morgan...you are outstanding.
I love her voice…….
true🧡
All I wanted to do was to listen to some music while working on reports, and once again I am totally distracted.
Ángel aretha franklin
Does anyone know if Ms. Morgan James have any recordings out with several of these COVER SONGS? I have a live CD of her'; but it . . . in my opinion TOUCH THE TRUE VOCALS that I am hearing on these videos/covers . . .
Plays Bieber's song..then you wont get distracted..😋
Hi Morgan, I'm setting here with tears of joy celebrating Aretha Franklin's life and music. Now that the Queen of Soul is gone on to peace your voice and conviction to me are more important than ever! You do what our Soul Sister#1 did which is to take us up high and nevet let us down. Three singers bring me to tears, Areatha, Joni and you! Sing on my sister. Thank you❤
Same story 😂
WoW! I never this song before.Now I cant stop listening,cheers to you. You have done a fantastic job. I am a big fan of you. I love your the sound of your voice. You have great taste in music too. I am always looking forward to your new covers. I hope you will come and blow us away someday here in Europe.
Oh Me, Oh My! WOW! Morgan, listening to you sing is like hearing the wings of angels flying in heaven! Beautiful! This is by far my most favorite song from you. Thank you for sharing it.
I love Morgan James' voice and no exaggeration I think it may be the best voice on planet earth, if not one of the top few. But sometimes I really wish she would take her soulful classic voice and pair it with the unexpected/modern songs.
Like I would love to see her sing Ed Sheeran's I see Fire, I think it would be amazing. Consider that an official request!
Did you see the most recent video released by Post Modern Jukebox with her? ua-cam.com/video/Yq4KA0mUnC8/v-deo.html
***** Thanks! I check PMJ every week on Thursday for a new video but I forgot to yesterday so I watched it after you linked.
I LOVE PMJ videos and I particularly love PMJ w/Morgan James. However, I didn't really like this performance very much. Didn't like her phrasing and the way she sung it. Which is strange because I love most of the stuff she or PMJ does.
Per usual her vocals were off the charts. That's not even something I have to ever think about since I know she'll knock anything out of the park with ease.
I also generally like when she/PMJ does more modern songs, I love the juxtaposition of their soulful style with a modern song.
I had the same thought, that this is the best singer in the world.
Well she is no joss stone or Diana Krahll but she has some songs that are decent
Always incredible. Thank you Morgan and team.
Brad,couldn't agree with you more . Morgan is one of the great ones as is Aretha. Always loved this song, and this is a beautiful version.
Christ the Lord. Say, Amen. A fine, crisp rendition of this great torch song. It brought peace to my heart.
I can't STOP listening to this! 😍😍😍 👏👏👏
She doesn’t look like our beloved Aretha, but DAMN this girl can sing.... So, I closed my eyes and listened a second time and Morgan has such a pure pitch and timbre to her voice... She’s Golden ... 💕. Hubby looking dapper too … All the musicians in the room, great stuff.... 👍
Good lord, I’m in love. Just found Morgan searching for independent artists. Gorgeous, passionate and amazing vocals. The whole package.
So refreshing to hear this type of singing again. Cherish this performance, because singers like this (these days) comes once in a lifetime.... if your lucky.
Your voice is GOLD, no matter what you sing. This is without a doubt your forte' though. Amazing as usual.
I'm a Fool for you Morgan James. Thanks for taking me on a magic carpet ride. Let your Love Light for singing SHINE ON THE WORLD... CRAZY, CRAZY
Geez, how does such a powerful voice come out of her?!!
Not my favorite song, but - wow, the voice just seems incongruous with her petite build. I have only heard a couple of Aretha Franklin songs - the pop stuff. Powerful voice, and Mrs. James is right there - different style, and sound of course. Maybe even a bit more raw power.
Excellent team up with PMJ, as usual.
To say Morgan James has deliciously powerful and immensely soulful vocal dexterity is to demean the OED - one word will suffice......IMMENSE !!
That amazing voice coming out of that slender body. I'd never match the two in a line-up.
She has an extra lung I think.
R C Nelson I just could tell shed be good I could just sense it I don't know how I just could but I agree not nearly as good as Aretha but then again who is? but I could sense even though she's thin shed have a big voice.
