MOTOWN: THE MUSICAL standout, notable rising Broadway player and Epic Records recording artist Morgan James performs an impressive cover of R&B classic "Baby, I Love You" in a new video now available to view exclusively on BroadwayWorld.

In the new video, James brings a passionate, soulful sound to her ingratiating acoustic take on the iconic Aretha Franklin hit.

Of note, James is set for a special solo show at intimate NYC cabaret venue SubCulture later this week, as well.

The official description of Morgan James at SubCulture is as follows: "Singer and actress Morgan James first graced the Broadway stage in 2010 starring The Addams Family alongside Nathan Lane. James appeared in other notable performances in Godspell and Motown, before signing with Epic Records. She recently released Hunter on June 3, 2014, her debut studio album of original soul tunes. Come experience her powerful voice in this highly intimate setting on Wednesday, 9/3. Morgan recently released HUNTER on June 3, 2014, her debut studio album of original soul tunes on Epic Records. Classic and modern: horns, full band, lush and funky. A true labor of love, James assumed co-writing duties on eight of the album's eleven tracks, and even performed all of her own background vocals and harmonies. Says James, "I want people to walk away from this album feeling fulfilled. That's the way it used to be. Often, I think I'm from another time. I just want to bring back the power of the singular legacy voice." Come see why she has been hailed by The New York Times as "...a phenomenal talent whose feel for classic soul music is bone deep... this woman is on fire." "Sexy and charming, Morgan James is a multi-talented performer. Listening to her new album Hunter is pure delight. She can do it all." -Berry Gordy, Jr."

Morgan James performs at SubCulture on September 3 at 8 PM.
