Born into a musical family in 1930 in Pleasantville N.Y., her father played guitar and sang, while her first husband was the talented jazz trumpeter Tony Fruscella who introduced Morgana to the music of Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk among others. Her second husband was the jazz trombonist Willie Dennis who had played with Mingus and Mulligan and would collaborate with Morgana on many musical projects. Morgana herself studied at the Metropolitan School of Music. These four classic, hard to find albums, recorded between 1956 and 1959 all allude to the emergence of a bright new singing star that was Morgana King. With a four octave voice, Morgana was hard for critics to categorize, was she jazz or something else? It could explain why despite more than 30 albums to her name, recorded from the fifties to the nineties and rave remarks from such as Stevie Wonder who was quoted as saying “Morgana King has done the best version of “You Are The Sunshine of My Life” I have ever heard”, she never really found the full recognition she so richly deserved. She was even invited by Frank Sinatra to record three albums for his Reprise label in the mid sixties while the seventies saw her take on the role of wife to Marlon Brando’s Don Corleone in the classic The Godfather parts 1 \u0026amp; 2. These early albums show us what a great singing talent Morgana was and (indeed still is!) as she moves with consummate ease from jazz classics to blues to standards from the Great American Songbook.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_480x480.png?v=1668973528\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/officialTRACKLISTINGWITHWORLD_480x480.png?v=1668973528\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1-12: ‘For You, For Me, For Evermore’\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
