Just You, Just Me - Jaye P. Morgan

As Time Goes By
Just You, Just Me
Jaye P. Morgan
With Marion Evans and His Orchestra
RCA Victor LSP-1682
1958

From the back cover: At age three, as the youngest member of a family vaudeville and radio act that also comprised four brothers, a sister and her emcee-ing father, Jaye P. Morgan made her initial mark in show business when she trundled out, as the climax of the act, to sing a raucous little ditty entitled I May Be Little But I'm Loud. It never failed to sew up the performance.

Twenty-odd years later Jaye P. Morgan remains a tough act to follow, whatever the medium. No longer is she little, but she still sings up a storm in the top cafes on television and on records. Through her RCA Victor recordings, she has become what is commonly referred to in the trade as a "standard seller." A new Jaye P. disc is always a signal for a fresh wave of record-buying.

After an early band-singing career with Frank DeVol's orchestra in California, Miss Morgan successfully auditioned for the Robert Q. Lewis show and gained national recognition during the two years that she appeared with the horn-rimmed comedian.

In the last couple of years Jaye P. has branched out as a single act and has played practically all the top musical shows on television, in addition to her appearances at smart supper clubs.


From Billboard - January 23, 1958: Petite thrush Jaye P. Morgan tees off on a fine collection of standards on this new collection of standards on this new release to fairly good results. She is helped immensely by the superb arrangements of Marion Evans and the swinging ork performance and sound. Title tune and "I See You Face Before Me" and "Day By Day" are standouts. Steady sales indicated here.
