Vocalist Marion Morgan (b. 1923) performed with Harry James' dance band in the 1940's before embarking on a solo career in the 1950's. Initially successful with James' band, Morgan left after hearing the bandleader express his dislike for all vocalists in general. She signed as a soloist with Columbia records in 1949 and released singles like "Embraceable You" and "Maybe It's Because", the popularity of which helped give her a small-time television and acting career. Morgan could also be heard as a popular guest and co-host on several radio shows before her popularity began to fade, ultimately settling down to a family life. George R. Sanders, originally a disc jockey, became a prominent radio/TV interview host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland. Toned, esp. heavy on bottom half and in squared sections.
