@@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.
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.
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... ua-cam.com/video/wv_Xhzwvjyg/v-deo.html
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 E. Petersburg, VA
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.
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. 💚🤍🧡
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🕊🤍
I absolutely love the way she sings this song. She presents it with such amazing feeling and passion. The way she interprets it made it one of my very favorite performances ever.
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!
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.
Morgan - the only thing missing in your performance was the 100,000 listeners at a stadium and the other millions watching live online jumping to their feet in a roaring applause begging for an encore. Bravo!
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!
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)
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!
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.
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 :-).
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!
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.
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.
MAN! NEVER EVER HEARD OF THIS LADY. WAS READING THE COMMENTS ON ARETHA FRANKLIN VISION. AND READ THAT THIS YOUNG LADY WAS THE ONLY OTHER ONE THAT COULD SING THIS SONG OUTSIDE OF MRS. FRANKLIN. AND BOY, TO MY SURPRISE. THEY WERE 110% RIGHT. SHE'S PUTTING HER HEART & SOUL ON THIS ONE. SHE HAS AN OUTSTANDING VOICE. I'M SO VERY SURPRISED. BIG TIME. WASN'T EXPECTING THIS. GOD HAS REALLY BLESSED THIS YOUNG LADY WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. SHE GOT IT. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. THANKS FOR THIS POST. I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THIS AS MUCH AS I DO. HAVE A GOOD ONE.
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.
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.
I started by watching post modern jukebox and kept being drawn to Morgan James voice and passion. Would also love to hear her sing her own songs as.well. She has an amazing voice, passion, and soul! Extremely talented!
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.
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
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.
Not the first time Morgan has done an Aretha cover. Ms. Franklin would be so happy. I am.
October 2024 and this remains one of the true gems of UA-cam!
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.

Here it is:

I fucking hate this women. Bullshit over singing
yes
One of the very best singers of our era. Aretha would approve, appreciate and applaud your rendition .😎🤩
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
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?

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
I'll just say what everyone else says...this woman deserves to be much more famous. She rivals any singer on the planet.
No flashy lights no half nudity just sheer pure talent and what a voice thank you for sharing x

the soul in this woman is absolutely powerful. amazing... amazing
Aretha looks down and smiles at Morgan James. Thanks for that tribute. You did the Queen proud, my lady.
I believe it is not possible to hear this too many times.
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 🙏

One of our best performers of our time!
I wish I could like this video a thousand times.
I cannot think of anything to say and my breath is caught in my throat
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.
Musicians marvellous, but what an utterly astounding vocal performance! This was truly wonderful. Really in the stratosphere.
♥️
I absolutely love the way she sings this song. She presents it with such amazing feeling and passion. The way she interprets it made it one of my very favorite performances ever.
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.
The only thing better than watching her sing is listening to her. Good lord what a woman

This is my favorite performance of all time. She is Amazing. She ROCKS this gorgeous song!!!! Talent beyond compare.
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,
My husband and I are big fans of Morgan. This is the best we've heard her sing. Incredible!!!

Greetings from Germany!
Girl you sound GOOD. This is one of my favorites from the Queen ❤❤❤
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)
brilliant and very moving..............well done
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
WOW! Amazing on all levels, her singing and the fruit of these musicians to transition so smoothly
She can sing .......I've been stuck on her ,... She amazing
I just love listening to Morgan, she is truly a gifted artist.
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!
Why is it that the most impressive vocal performances I've ever heard keep coming out of Morgan James. Song after song. Just Wow!!!!
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.
What an amazing singer!!
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!

Wow. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND POWERFUL VOICE AND BEAUTY
Just amazing, she one of the few that can do Aretha justice. 🤩🤩🤩
I agree, in fact I like a version better. It's one of the most passionate performances I've ever seen.
When this popped up on my feed I thought "this girl better have the pipes for this."
My apologies to Morgan for doubting.
You did the Queen proud.
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!
Oh Me Oh My !!! WoW !!! There's levels Y'all .... Wow I am blown away !!!
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 !
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.
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
This woman is amazing. Nobody else comes close.
Breath taking. You have to an exceptional singer to do this song justice.
Oh Me...Oh my!.....damn....made me cry.
She's just so amazing!
Oh me, oh my...Morgan you are truly gifted. God bless you.

Beauty, brains, talent and skill. Just wow.
Unbelievably wonderful! My favorite of hers now. Sweet emotion and depth of soul on display here!
I’ve listened to enough of her songs now that I’ve got pretty high expectations….and every time I hear a new one, she exceeds them.
I think this is my favorite video. Morgan you are amazing. I wish I would have found you a long time ago!
You did Aretha proud!!!!!!!!!
this really needed an audience because this deserved a standing O
you are an angel... When God created you he was showing off.
Always incredible. Thank you Morgan and team.
