One of the very best pop vocalists of the 1950s!

"As a mid-period Boomer long interested in the pop music that was charting prior to my arrival, I was amazed and delighted to discover through this excellent CD that Jaye P. Morgan was one of the very best popular singers of the 1950s! Having only heard a couple of her RCA novelty sides, I was not prepared for the elegant, beautifully-assured, and classy ballad performances contained herein, of which "The Longest Walk" might be the best. In fact, this side may be the quintessential 1950s pop ballad. No serious fan of 1950s popular vocalizing can be without this CD. The technical aspects are near-perfect, and the price is right. Grab it, quickly and greedily!"
Jaye P. Morgan at her very best!

"This CD is Jaye P. Morgan in her prime and at her very best. It includes all of her RCA hits and her three Derby hit recordings circa 1953. The quality is outstanding! The liner notes include comments from Jaye P. This is truly a pleasurable trip down memory lane."
She really was a singer, ya know...

"Those of us lucky enough to remember the Jaye P. of the mid-to-late 50s revel in these finds. I used to scout record collector conventions just trying to find old 45s of "Danger, Heartbreak Ahead." It took me years. But it was worth it. Then (sigh) they came out with it all nice and clean on CD. If you collect music, not just records, you'll love this collection. "Longest Walk" is also one of my favorites. Yes, America -- Jaye P. Morgan did a helluva lot more than appear on the Gong Show...a clear, bouncy phrasing that is impeccable."
