Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
"I was playing at that time with the idea of doing an album full of soul songs – mainly other people's, but maybe a couple of my own. As a teenager, soul music was one of the things that made me want to be a musician. ...Wayne Jackson, who plays on that track, was also with Otis Redding and was touring with him when I saw them in London. So that was a thrill for me" Peter Gabriel, July 1986

- Her background singers are amazing.
- Found you through the Post Modern Jukebox. Great voice.
- This is the definition of vocal interpretation. Morgan is brilliant.
- I'd listen to Ms. James sing the phone book, but it would probably catch fire.
- I also found you through Post Modern Jukebox. You're the best singer I've ever heard!
