Biography

Russell Morgan (April 29, 1904 – August 7, 1969) was an American big band leader and arranger during the 1930s and 1940s. He was best known for being one of the composers of the song "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", with Larry Stock and James Cavanaugh, and was the first to record it in 1944. In the early 2020s, he regained popularity due to some of his music being sampled by the Caretaker on his albums An Empty Bliss Beyond This World and Everywhere at the End of Time, the latter of which plays loops of progressively degraded big band music to portray Alzheimer's disease. Some of Morgan's songs sampled by the Caretaker include “Goodnight my Beautiful” (sampled in "Libet's Delay", "Back There Benjamin", "Libet's All Joyful Camaraderie", and "Libet Delay"), "Moonlight and Shadows" (sampled in "Childishly Fresh Eyes"), and "Room with a View" (sampled in "My Heart Will Stop in Joy").
