Album Notes

Tim Morgon walked into an empty coffee house in Balboa, Calif. in the fall of 1959 and started singing. He was asked to come back and sing for pay the next weekend. He was there for almost 6 years playing for packed houses, three sets a night on weekends and throughout the summer. He recorded 4 albums from 1963 to 65, and they all sold very well.
Because of poor management, Tim never received any compensation for the record sales, and his career was stifled. He was able to keep singing, headlining at the Ice House, Pasadena and Glendale, and clubs throughout the So. Cal. area with an occasional gig in the midwest. He sang voice-overs for TV and movies, and commercials and performed on stage for the last time July 31, 1981. Although he hasn't performed for over 20 years, his name is still remembered by his followers from the 60s and 70s. Now his fans can step back in time and once again enjoy the music that was a big part of their lives when they were growing up in So. Calif. You can contact Tim at tmorgon@aol.com, he would love to hear from you.

They Call the Wind Maria
author: Barbara
Absolutely loved the CD, it took me right back to my 20\'s in Newport Beach! I also emailed Tim and we had a couple of very nice email correspondence. What a nice man, and with such a terrific voice. Thanks for the music and the memories...

Tim Morgon Sings They Call the Wind Maria

I went to high school from 1960 to 1963 in Southern California and went to many shows at the Prison of Socrates between cruising Newport or Balboa. Most of the songs we heard at the Prison are on the four recorded live Albums. I listen and sing along with the songs every week.

Just what my wife wanted for Christmas 2006
author: Dave Blankmeyer
I could not find the Tim Morgon CD through standard outlets and did not want to stand in the check out line, so took a chance, even to the extent of saying yes to the offer of a card and gift wrapping. Perfect. My wife thrilled.

Hooray, I found Tim Morgon CDs!
author: Judy Mollner
I had loaned out this record album and it was never returned, and I am so happy to find the CD just by Googling Tim Morgon's name. I've searched for a long time for a version of St. James Infirmary that would equal this, and now I have it again. Thanks.
