With her smooth, velvety voice, the R&B/Soul singer Meli'sa Morgan is known for her string of urban contemporary hits starting in the mid–1980s through the mid–1990s. Meli'sa began her singing career at nine years old as a member of the Starlets of Corona gospel choir. She went on to study music and theatre at The Juilliard School Performing Arts Conservatory in New York. Meli'sa built a career including collaborations with other performers such as Najee, Kashif, Freddie Jackson, Valerie Simpson, and Mary J. Blige as well as launching a solo career.
Meli'sa gained experience as a backup singer with Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, and Melba Moore before releasing her solo debut album Do Me Baby (1985) on Capitol Records. The title track, her cover of the Prince original, topped R&B charts for three weeks. Meli'sa's most notable songs include "Do You Still Love Me" (1986), "Fool's Paradise" (1986) and "Still in Love With You" (1992). To date, she has two Top 20 Albums and four Top 5 hits.
Still performing, songwriting and acting, Meli'sa's current work includes her role as Nana in the movie, Footprints of an Angel, as well as releasing the accompanying title track. Meli'sa's next live performance is Valentine's Day at the Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club with saxophonist, Marion Meadows.
Tune in to hear Meli'sa and host, Brad Johnson, as they discuss the building blocks of Meli'sa's career, the experience she gained performing at The Cellar in the early days, Brad's father's popular live venue on NYC's Upper West Side, including the lessons learned and why Brad temporarily fired her. We learn about her experience with the music industry's less than transparent accounting and her advice. On a personal note, hear Meli'sa's life philosophy, how she enjoys spending time between her homes in Queens, NY, South Carolina, and Aruba, and her engagement to the man who won her heart. Join us!
