Russ Morgan (April 29, 1904 – August 7, 1969) was a big band orchestra leader and musical arranger in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. He was one of the composers of "You're Nobody til Somebody Loves You" along with Larry Stock and James Cavanaugh. Morgan was the first to record the song.
Born into a Welsh family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Morgan was encouraged to express himself musically from the age of seven. His father, a coal-mine foreman, was a former musician who played drums in a local band in his spare time. Morgan's mother had been a pianist in a vaudeville act. Morgan began to study piano and also went to work in the mines to earn money to help support his family and pay for his lessons.
At fourteen, Morgan earned extra money as a pianist in a theater in Scranton. He also purchased a trombone and learned to play it. In 1921, he played trombone with a local band, the Scranton Sirens, which became popular in Pennsylvania during the 1920s. Several of its members later became famous, including Jimmy Dorsey on sax and clarinet, Billy Lustig on violin and Tommy Dorsey on trombone (who took Morgan's place when he left the organization).
"So Long" is a song written by Remus Harris, Russ Morgan and Irving Melsher in 1940 and later recorded by Russ Morgan and his orchestra.
The song was first a hit for The Charioteers, whose single reached No. 23 on the U.S. pop charts in 1940. The best-known version was recorded by Ruth Brown, whose rendition reached No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart in 1949.The Four Aces' cover, backed by the Jack Pleis Orchestra, peaked at No. 26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1954. Roy Hamilton's cover peaked at No. 14 on the U.S. Billboard R&B charts in 1957.
The song has also been covered by Sam Cooke for his 1957 debut album Sam Cooke, Sarah Vaughan on her 1962 album You're Mine You, James Brown in the mid-1960s and again with a funk version in the mid-1970s, Aretha Franklin in 1969 for her album of cover material Soul '69, Pat Benatar for her 1991 album True Love, and Dr. John on the 1995 album Afterglow.
Additional recordings include versions by Johnny Moore's Three Blazers, Charles Brown, The Ramsey Lewis Trio, The Orioles, The Three Chuckles, Big Maybelle, Floyd Dixon, The Castaways, JAY-EL, and Georges Jouvin.
