Jane Morgan, the elegant American singer best known for her hit song “Fascination,” has died at the age of 101. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday in hospice care in Naples, Florida, her family confirmed.

Born Florence Catherine Currier on May 3, 1924, in Newton, Massachusetts, Morgan studied music at the Juilliard School. She launched her singing career in Paris in the late 1940s, performing in nightclubs and singing in both English and French. Her smooth vocals and charm won her a devoted following across Europe.

Morgan rose to fame in the U.S. during the 1950s and 60s. Her breakout moment came in 1957 with “Fascination,” a romantic ballad that became her signature song. The hit catapulted her to American stardom, leading to frequent appearances on popular TV variety shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show, The Perry Como Show, and The Dean Martin Show.

Her fluent French, elegant style, and graceful stage presence earned her fans worldwide. She became a staple in American pop music, known for her polished performances and refined image.

Throughout her career, Morgan recorded dozens of albums blending pop, standards, and Broadway tunes. She also performed at the Academy Awards and sang for several U.S. presidents, further solidifying her status as a top-tier entertainer.

In 1965, she married Jerry Weintraub, a well-known music manager and film producer. The couple had four children and remained married until Weintraub’s death in 2015.

Though her popularity on the charts waned in the late 1960s, Morgan remained a beloved live performer for years. She eventually retired from public life and settled in Florida.

Her legacy endures through timeless recordings and a career marked by elegance, talent, and international acclaim.
