Artist:Morgan James
Song:Call My Name
Album:Hunter: Bonus Tracks
Morgan James has appeared in several Broadway musicals. And she has recorded a few albums that I would describe as blue eyed soul. Epic Records had big plans for her. She now records for her own label. She was born Morgan Grunerud Nov. 21, 1981 in Boise, ID. Her parents were actors. So the family moved around a lot. She attended high school in Modesto, CA. Morgan earned a Bachelor in Voice at Juilliard. One of her instructors was the great Barbara Cook. Morgan appeared in the 2010 musical The Addams Family and the 2011 revival of Godspell. Then she played Teena Marie in Motown: The Musical. She started performing in clubs and decided to do that permanently. Morgan signed with Epic and released the 2012 album Morgan James Live: A Celebration of Nina Simone. Then she recorded the 2014 album Hunter. The album was produced by guitarist Doug Wamble. They married in 2016. Robert Glasper was among the special guests. After Prince gave Morgan permission to record Call My Name, Hunter was rereleased with Call My Name as one of three bonus tracks. Morgan has since released two albums on her own label. Not sure why she left Epic. Maybe they wanted more commercial music. Here's the video for Call My Name by Morgan James.
