I've very recently bought her first album on CD with no title
(other than "Sarah Jane Morris"). It was released in 1988.
I like the album very much even though most of the tracks are "cover
versions." Especially good was "Me and Mrs Jones." At first I thought
that this track may sound a little strange being sung by a woman,
but after listening to it, it really didn't seem to matter. In a
recent radio program, she said that to change the lyric to "Me and
Mr Jones" would spoil its flow.
I describe her voice as being an incredible Jazzy/Bluesy type.
I would be interested to know if she has released any other material,
especially on CD.

Is Sarah Jane Morris the girl from the Communards? ie. The one that
sounded like Jimmy Somerville should, on `Don't Leave Me This Way"

Yup, that's her, I saw her open for Simply Red last year, not
bad at all. She did a mix of original and cover stuff.

I can't get the video for `Don't Leave Me This Way' out of my head.
I always thought she should have been the bloke and he should have been
the girl.
I can recall something about her joining an all girl band, who played
lots of orchestral stuff (quite good too), and singing about gay
rights. It was on the Tube, or summat like that.

I think she has also done some acting, but not sure what.
