Morning

Morning is the period of time between midnight and noon or, more commonly, the interval between sunrise and noon. Morning precedes afternoon, evening, and night in the sequence of a day. Originally, the term referred to sunrise.

Etymology

The name (which comes from the Middle English word morwening) was formed from the analogy of evening using the word "morn" (in Middle English morwen), and originally meant the coming of the sunrise as evening meant the beginning of the close of the day. The Middle English morwen dropped over time and became morwe, then eventually morrow, which properly means "morning", but was soon used to refer to the following day (i.e., "tomorrow"), as in other Germanic languages—English is unique in restricting the word to the newer usage. The Spanish word "mañana" has two meanings in English: "morning," and "tomorrow," along with the word "morgen" in Dutch and German which also means both "morning," and "tomorrow." Max Weber, (General Economic History, pp23) states that the English word "morning" and the German word "Morgen" both signify the size of land strip "which an ox could plow in a day without giving out". "Tagwerk" in German, and "a day's work" in English mean the same. A Good morning in this sense might mean a good day's plow.

Songs

Early In The Morning (Larry Santos song)

"Early In The Morning" is the lost might-have-been second single, written and performed by soft-and-smooth-voiced pop singer Larry Santos that his record company Casablanca Records forgot to release on 7" vinyl, taken from both his 1975 album, Larry Santos (album) and the 1976 follow-up, You Are Everything I Need (album). This song is mainly all about Father God touching a newborn child with Christian love and inspiration on an early morning when he suffers from leprosy or disease and it is an early example of Christian music where it has Christian lyrics like "I long to touch You like the rising sun/Early in the morning, early in the morning/I want to feel Your warmness by My side" and "So come and lay by Me and stay by Me/Don't be afraid to open Your love and let Me in/I've needed One like You to love Me too/Early in the morning/Early in the morning", which is way before Contemporary Christian artists like Kathy Troccoli, Sheila Walsh (singer), Amy Grant, Twila Paris, Michael W. Smith and so on, plus it is now available only in the mp3 format on CD Baby. In this song, the biblical words, I, My and Me refer to Jesus, the Lord or God and also You, Your and One refer to holy newborn child.

The Morning (album)

The Morning (2006) is a studio album from Andrew Osenga. It is his second solo full-length studio album, following the short EP Souvenirs and Postcards (2004).

The Gap Band

The Gap Band was an American R&B and funk band which rose to fame during the 1970s and 1980s. With the nucleus consisting of brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson, the band first formed as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band in 1967, in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The group shortened its name to The Gap Band in 1973. After 43 years together, they retired in 2010.

History

Early years

After having grown up with a Pentecostal minister father, Ronnie Wilson formed the Greenwood, Archer, and Pine Street Band in 1967 with Tuck Andress (later of Tuck and Patti), Roscoe "Toast" Smith, and Chris Clayton. In 1972, Ronnie's younger brother Charlie joined the band, and in 1973, their younger brother Robert became the band's bassist. The band received its first big break by being the back up band for, fellow Oklahoman, Leon Russell's Stop All That Jazz album released in 1974.

Early on, the group took on a funk sound reminiscent of the early 70s. This style failed to catch on, and their first two LP's, 1974's Magician's Holiday and 1977's The Gap Band (not to be confused with their 1979 album) failed to chart or produce any charting singles. Afterwards, they were introduced to LA producer Lonnie Simmons, who signed them to his production company Total Experience Productions (named after his successful Crenshaw Boulevard nightclub), and managed to get them a record deal with Mercury Records.
