Subject: RE: Hurry Down Sunshine, Sister Morgan
Hi there,
Thank you for that great list of songs (Guest)! I do think the Morgan Sisters (track 34) are definitely different from Sister Morgan of track 35, but check out Sister Gertrude Morgan (track 56, for example). Doesn't it at least seem possible that this is an older version of the same singer as in track 35? And according to what's known about Sister Gertrude Morgan, she didn't "get religion" till she was in her late 30s, so could have been singing a song such as this in her late 20s.

In any case, whether or not they are the same, I am really curious to find out more about the Sister Morgan who sings Hurry Down Sunshine. There's a version by Leroy Carr on youtube, but it is completely different from the one Sister Morgan sings, both lyrically and rhythmically. I can't find any information about her!
