A Musical Interlude: More Than You Know (Helen Morgan)

When I was in third, or possibly fourth, grade, my parents appeared on stage at my school — they were responding to a school appeal to take part in what was billed as Parents’ Day, or possibly Parents’ Night  — and my father played the piano, and my mother draped herself across the piano, Helen-Morgan style, and sang a song. Or did my father simply pretend to play, and my mother pretend to sing, while a record off-stage did the work? I don’t remember what the song was, and few in the audience would have recognized the imitation of a famous torch singer of the 1930s.

Listen to one song by that singer, Helen Morgan, here.
