Featured in TIR Episode 273 (Part 2 of 2): R&B singer and composer Meli’sa Morgan. Releasing her first of six albums in 1986, she saw three of her first four LPs ascend to the R&B Top 40. Those records included eight Top 20 R&B hits, among them the No. 1 Prince-penned smash “Do Me, Baby,” as well as “Do You Still Love Me,” “If You Can Do It: I Can Too,” the Mothers’ Finest classic “Love Changes” and the Al Green remake “Still in Love With You.”
Along the way she collaborated with Paul Lawrence, Kashif, James J.T. Taylor and Freddie Jackson. Morgan has come out of the pandemic lull swinging with her most successful track in some time. “Footprints of an Angel” marries mournful lyrics with an upbeat tempo, a catchy Motown-informed melody and an inspired vocal performance. Up for Grammy consideration, it is from the feature film of the same name, in which she also co-stars.
