Jaye P. Morgan Net Worth

Jaye P. Morgan is a sassy, dusky-voiced entertainer who began performing at an early age. She left school in 1949 to pursue a career in cabaret and soon had a regular singing gig with the Frank De Vol Orchestra. She had several hit songs, including "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" and "That's All I Want from You". She was a regular guest performer on variety shows and even hosted her own show in 1956. In the 60s, she took a break from the industry, but returned in the 70s with a new, hipper, fresher, saucier, sexier, funnier and crazier image. She was made a household name again by Chuck Barris' cult TV program The Gong Show and its offshoots. Now in her 70s, she still has her zing and her last appearance was a cameo in George Clooney's film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
