Meli’sa Morgan, real name Joyce Morgan, is an American singer-songwriter who began her artistic career in a Gospel Choir called 'The Starlets Of Corona'.
We will find her later in a group called 'Shades Of Love', a group with which she will produce in 1982 the Single "Body to body ((Keep in touch)". Single which will be the first success of her career.
Jacques Fred Petrus then notices her and offers her to join his new concept-project called 'High Fashion'. Proposal that she accepts and which allows her to achieve a new success thanks to the Single "Feelin' lucky lately" still the same year.
She plays the luxury backing singers thereafter for artists such as Chaka Khan, Withney Houston and Melba Moore.
As for her solo career, it starts from the year 1985 and in a smashing way with the title "Do me baby", title which will give her her first solo success and especially her direct ticket to posterity since it will remain as the biggest success of her entire discography. Single taken from the album which bears the same name and which will be released a year later in 1986.
New album "Good love" the following year in 1987, an album that will do less well than its predecessor but will still come out on top thanks to the flagship title "If you can do it : I can too".
A major success that will unfortunately be the last and this despite the release of other albums and other Singles afterwards.

Tracks :
1978...a first big experience which allows you to get used to it and above all to see if you are cut out for this job or not...
1982...new experience with several people this time within the group 'Shades Of Love'. And this time success will be there, which does not spoil anything, quite the contrary...
1982...and at first glance she is well made for this job. We find her the same year within the group 'High Fashion', a group which will offer her a new major success...
1982...the experience will not last for years but it will at least have allowed the young Meli'sa to show what she was capable of...
1985...we'll lose sight of her for almost 3 years but here she is again this time solo and determined to show that she can succeed alone. A daring bet but a perfectly successful bet with this successful cover of Prince's title dating from 1982. All good on this one !
1986...as she had the biggest success of her entire discography with the previous title, the sequel can only be a notch below. It will inevitably be, but without any direct consequences at this stage...
1986...the success will be less, certainly, but the success will be there. Notable fact of this title, it will be classified on both sides of the Atlantic, a first for her...
1986...surprisingly this one will go under the radar but that inevitably happens in any career worthy of the name...
1987...the dropout was short-lived since she was back in the race. As if there was no reason to worry...
1987...especially when you see the success achieved by this new title, her second biggest success. For the moment everything is going at least ideally...
1987...one could have imagined that this shock and charming duo would make sparks fly but they will be limited to say the least. Too bad...
1988...whatever, this does not in any way call into question the excellent career the singer has had so far...
1988...this title will only know its moment of glory in England but it doesn't matter as long as it's successful somewhere. That's what the singer tells herself every day...
1990...success in England which will be the last because all future successes will henceforth be obtained exclusively in the United States...
1990...a nice title that would have deserved a much greater recognition than it was. Sometimes you shouldn't try to understand as they say...
1990...a title that will not be released as a Single but that would have been a shame to overlook. So here it is, brought back into the spotlight as it should be...
1992...she decides to revisit Al Green's title from 1972 and it's a good thing she did considering the success of her revisited version. Covers that have always worked for her...
1992...a particularly successful start to the 90s, especially this year 1992. It must be said that as long as quality is the order of the day, everything goes...
1992...three titles will be released during this year 1992 and all three will be ranked, what more could you ask for. Certainly in the R&B Charts but still...
1995...as much as the first part of the decade was flourishing, the second part was not really going to be the most favorable...
1996...and yet it is far from being unworthy, but the competition is not giving any gifts and she is seriously starting to pay the price...
1999...despite a desire to do good, nothing works. Success eludes her and she will therefore have to ask herself the right questions concerning the continuation of events...
2000...it's a duo of shock and charm that will allow her to rise to the surface a little. Not necessarily for very long but at least it's that...
2003...there are associations that bring her money and those that don't bring her more than that. This one will unfortunately be part of the second category...
2005...sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. Since it didn't work on the previous title, I'll let you guess the rest...
2006...a mid-2000s decade that sees her find her colors again as they say. As if nothing is ever finished in music...
2006...another title that will not be officially released as a Single but which frankly would have deserved to be, it must be said. Here it is, brought back into the spotlight as it should be...
2015...a big air hole of 9 years but here she is again anyway. A determination to believe until the end that can only delight fans from the start...
2015...fans who are delighted to the highest degree as soon as she returns and who inevitably ask for more and more...
2022...we lost sight of her for almost 7 years but here she is back once again. Now the question is whether this return will be the last...or not...
