His partnership with Fleming also yielded more hits for Mandrell ("I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool"), fellow country artists Sylvia ("Nobody"), Ronnie Milsap ("Smoky Mountain Rain"), and Steve Wariner ("All Roads Lead To You").
Songs by Morgan and cowriter Simon Climie have been hits for pop artists including Climie Fisher ("Love Changes Everything") and Aretha Franklin & George Michael ("I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)").
Morgan was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Foundation's Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004.
