Helen Morgan (August 2, 1900 – October 9, 1941) was an American singer and actress who worked in films and on the stage. A quintessential torch singer, she made a big splash in the Chicago club scene in the 1920s. She starred as Julie LaVerne in the original Broadway production of Hammerstein and Kern's musical Show Boat in 1927 as well as in the 1932 Broadway revival of the musical, and appeared in two film adaptations, a part-talkie made in 1929 (prologue only) and a full-sound version made in 1936, becoming firmly associated with the role. She suffered from bouts of alcoholism, and despite her notable success in the title role of another Hammerstein and Kern's Broadway musical, Sweet Adeline (1929), her stage career was relatively short. Helen Morgan died of cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 41. She was portrayed by Polly Bergen in the Playhouse 90 drama The Helen Morgan Story and by Ann Blyth in the 1957 biopic based on the television drama.
She was born Helen Riggins in 1900 in Danville, Illinois. Her father Frank Riggins, was a farmer in Davis Township, Fountain County, Indiana. After her mother, Lulu Lang Riggins, divorced and remarried, she changed the last name to "Morgan". Her mother's second marriage ended in divorce, and she moved to Chicago with her daughter. Helen never finished school beyond the eighth grade, and worked a variety of jobs just to get by. She worked as an extra in films. By the age of twenty, Morgan had taken voice lessons and started singing in speakeasies in Chicago. Her voice was not fashionable during the 1920s for the kind of songs that she specialized in, but nevertheless she became a wildly popular torch singer. A draped-over-the-piano look became her signature while performing at Billy Rose's Backstage Club in 1925. In spite of the National Prohibition Act of 1919 outlawing alcohol in the United States, Morgan became a heavy drinker and was often reportedly drunk during these performances.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

Genres: Crime,Also known as "Both Ends of the Candle" this is a superior film - more of a ‘drama with music' than a ‘musical' - based on the life of twenties torch singer Helen Morgan, though how closely it relates to the real facts of her life is of no consequence here as the drama and singing are what counts in this film - a virtual last stab at the big Hollywood musical - clearly a genre dying on its feet as the film, demanding colour, was merely shot in black and white. Ann Blyth was not the first choice for the movie as it was originally intended for Doris Day, who turned it down. Judy Garland didn't want the role either, as she didn't want a ‘sad' ending, and even Susan Hayward was evidently considered. Although the soundtrack songs supplied by Gogi Grant are terrific, Morgan was a soprano singe...

Performer - Helen Morgan Music - Jerome Kern Lyrics - P. G. Wodehouse and Oscar Hammerstein This performance comes from the 1936 movie version of Show Boat. For some inexplicable reason, it has not been put on DVD in the US. George Gershwin said that Jerome Kern had succeeded in composing the ultimate American operetta with Show Boat, and I agree with that assessment.
Why Was I Born? from "Sweet Adeline" Words by Oscar Hammerstein II, Music by Jerome Kern Sung by Helen Morgan with orchestra conducted by Leonard Joy Recorded October 16, 1929, New York Spending these lonely evenings with nothing to do But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories Only to wake up all by myself What is the good of me by myself? Why was I born? Why am I living? What do I get? What am I giving? Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for? What can I hope for? I wish I knew. Why do I try to draw you near me? Why do I cry? You never hear me. Im a poor fool, but what can I do? Why was I born? To love you.
"Body and Soul" Words and Music by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton and John Green Performed by Helen Morgan with orchestra conducted by Leonard Joy Recorded September 12, 1930, New York Helen Morgan (1900 - 1941) was born in Danville, Illinois. She worked for a while in mail order houses and in other mercantile establishments before trying her hand at show business. Her first experiences with the stage were without any particular distinction and to make something happen she entered a beauty contest and won it. The contest was won in Canada and those in the Dominion to whom it mattered much were somewhat chagrined when her birthplace was revealed. That didn't matter to Miss Morgan; all that mattered was that she'd had her first break. By the early 1920s she had firmly...

Helen Morgan - Don't Ever Leave Me (1929) Morgan, Helen (1900/1941), singer and actress. The tiny, seemingly fragile torch singer was born in Danville, Illinois, and first called attention to herself in the 1926 revue Americana. Although she appeared in several other shows, she is remembered largely for her performance as Julie in Show Boat (1927 and 1932), in which she introduced Bill and Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man; and as Addie in Sweet Adeline (1929), in which she sang Don't Ever Leave Me and Why Was I Born? Her voice was higher than modern‐day torch singers, actually a soprano voice. Chicago's often acerbic Claudia Cassidy said of it, She had in her voice the note of heartbreak—authentic heartbreak, worth its weight in theater gold. Biography: Helen Morgan: Her Life and ...

Our very own Helen Morgan gives a talk entitled: Brain mechanisms underlying cognitive control in working memory and decision-making. Abstract: Working memory is the essential cognitive ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate information that is no longer physically available. This ability depends on the coordinated activity of a wide network of brain regions that are involved in different working memory subprocesses. In this talk I will present research into the brain mechanisms involved in integrating visual and spatial information in working memory. This work suggests that the prefrontal cortex plays an important role in co-ordinating the processing of different types of information, and successful integration of this information is associated with synchronised gamma oscillat...

The 70-year-old actress was joined at the event by honoree Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro and his wife Grace Hightower, Matthew Broderick, Danny Glover, and Morgan‘s girlfriend Lori McCreary and granddaughter Alexis Freeman. “Any time you can celebrate with him, it’s really fun,” Alexis told People about her grandfather Morgan. “He makes you a really humble person. He makes you realize that you have to work for what you want. I really work hard for everything I do. I’m a teacher at the Dalton School, so I see him a lot more now that I live in New York. But, I’m just as busy as he
