Rocket Morgan

about

Rodney 'Rocket' Morgan was from Crowley, South Louisiana, also the home of Jay Miller's recording studio. He recorded a number of tunes for Miller in the 1950's. The most well-known three: 'It's A Sin' released on Miller's Zynn label (2 versions were recorded, the second featured a vibraphone, and this was issued) 'Tag Along '(definitely released on a 45 - I have it on a 10 Cd set of 45 rpm rips - but not necessarily by Miller),' You're Humbuggin' Me' (not sure if this was released, the song may have been 'passed on' - I'm sure Lefty Frizzzell recorded it) It should be pointed out that, in the 50's, Jay Miller's studio was, like a lot of others, quite 'local' . He didn't release a lot of stuff on his own labels, either the track or the song was 'passed on' to bigger labels. A lot of unreleased tunes didn't come to light until the mid-70's, when a revival of interest caused lots of old unknown stuff to be 'discovered'. No fame for Rocket Morgan though. He quit music shortly after his recordings and took to the road as an itinerant preacher This info. is from 1980 - so it might bear some updating User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
