    Life and music career

    Early years and the Crocodiles

    Main article: The Crocodiles

    Jenny Morris was born in

    high school near Wellington.[11][6][14] Late in 1978, Morris joined an all-girl group, Wide Mouthed Frogs in Wellington, performing lead vocals.[4][15] Fellow members were Kate Brockie on lead vocals, Andrea Gilkison on guitar, Tina Matthews on bass guitar, Bronwyn Murray on keyboards and Sally Zwartz on drums.[16] In 1979 they released the track, "Some Day" for the compilation album, Home Grown Volume One; "Some Day" was cowritten with Tony Backhouse, guitarist of fellow Wellington band the Spats, which also had a track, "Young Ladies in Hot Cars", on the compilation.[17]

    Wide Mouthed Frogs worked with the Spats' members: drummer

    New Zealand albums and singles charts.[16][20]

    Lawrence left and was replaced on drums by Ian Gilroy (ex-Whizz Kids), then Flaws left, although he continued to write material for the second album. Released in November 1980, Looking at Ourselves, was produced by Ian Morris. That year, they won 'Best Group' and 'Most Promising Group' at the

    New Zealand Music Awards.[21] The line-up went through further changes, Gilroy left to join the Swingers, then Matthews and Dasent left. In February 1981, following a repeat performance at the Sweetwaters Festival,[22] The Crocodiles moved to Sydney, at the behest of their manager, Chunn, with new band members, Barton Price (drums), Rick 'Rikki' Morris (guitar) and Jonathan Zwartz (bass) only to disband in July. Price went on to join Models.[4][16]
    Morris explained why The Crocodiles left:

    New Zealand is not particularly supportive of its local music industry. [Going to Australia] was something people had done before and been successful, so we decided to do it too and maybe get some extra information from the trip.

    — Jenny Morris, 1992.[23]

    QED and "Jackson"

    Main article: QED (band)

    Morris began her solo career with the single, "Puberty Blues" in December 1981 on Mushroom Records;[4][24] it was the title track from the 1981 film Puberty Blues, which was a local box-office success.[25] The song was written by Tim Finn and performed by Sharon O'Neill in the film.[25][26] The B-side was "Adolescent Angst",[24] which Morris recorded with The Morris Majors. "Puberty Blues" reached the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart top 100.[27] The follow-up single, "Little By Little"—a cover of The Springfields 1960's song—was released in 1982 but failed to chart.[15][27]

    During 1982–1984, Morris continued as a session backing vocalist, contributing to releases by ex-manager Chunn's brother

    The Pleasure of Your Company; and New Zealand outfit D.D. Smash’s 1984 album The Optimist, she went on to tour with D.D. Smash front man Dave Dobbyn, and the New Zealand version of The Party Boys. Morris was credited for Dropbears' 1984 mini-LP, Untitled, before contributing backing vocals to INXS' first number 1 album The Swing.[4][28]

    In late 1983, Morris formed

    Countdown, on 1 April 1984;[32] it peaked at number 19 on the national chart. The follow-up single "Solo and More" was issued in March, but failed to chart. The third single, "This One", appeared in August and reached top 50.[27] Additional musicians for QED's first album, Animal Magic, included keyboardist Amanda Vincent (Eurogliders, later joined the Jenny Morris band), drummer Steve Fearnly, saxophonist Tony Buchanan, and Fataar on drums.[4][30] EMI released it in November, but sales remained low and the album did not chart.[4][27] QED only released one album and disbanded by 1985, Morris continued session and touring work with other artists, Belton went on to Mondo Rock, and Goh to Eurogliders.[29]

    Morris recorded a duet with INXS lead singer,

    EP, Dekadance, which reached number two on the charts.[27] Morris and INXS performed "Jackson" live at the 1984 Countdown Music and Video Awards held on 19 May 1985.[33][34] At Murphy's suggestion she teamed with INXS as a backing singer on their 1985 Australian tour—originally just for a few weeks—and stayed on for eighteen months on their 1985–1986 Listen Like Thieves World Tour.[6][31] Morris recorded and, in November 1985, released her first single for Warner Entertainment Australia (WEA), "Get Some Humour", with a contribution from Dave Dobbyn, which reached the top 100.[4][27]

    Solo success: 1986–1994

    During the US leg of the Listen Like Thieves World Tour, in January 1986, Morris recorded "You're Gonna Get Hurt", which was written and produced by INXS songwriter and keyboardist, Andrew Farriss.[31][35] Recorded with backing from INXS' Andrew and Jon Farriss and Garry Gary Beers, together with guitarist Ian Moss (ex-Cold Chisel), it was released in September and peaked at number 24.[27] The next single "Body and Soul"—composed by Morris[36]—reached number 55 in mid-1987.[27]

    In 1986 she performed on The Rock Party's Everything to Live For, a charity project initiated by The National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA), which included many Australasian musicians such as

    John Kennedy.[37][38]

    In July 1987, Morris released her first solo album, Body and Soul, produced by Moffatt and Fataar and mixed by Tim Kramer.[4] It sold over 70,000 copies in Australia (platinum status)[4] reaching number 13 on the album charts in Australia[27] and number 21 in New Zealand.[39] The album spawned two further hits in "You I Know"—written by Neil Finn[40]—which reached number 13 in Australia and number 30 in New Zealand, and "Lighthearted" peaked in the top 100 in both countries.[27][39] Morris also hit the road with her backing band, including Vincent, Jehan Lindsay (ex-Richard Clapton Band), Paul Burton (ex-Mark Williams Band), and Roger Mason (ex-Models).[41] Morris won back-to-back ARIA Awards for 'Best Female Artist' in 1987 and 1988.[42] In 1988, Morris and photographer, Paul Clarke, were married.[4]

    Her next single "Saved Me" was released in July 1989 and reached the top 40 in Australia and New Zealand.[39][43] It featured a distinctly Latin-Spanish feel permeated by funk undertones, with the promo video shot in Nicaragua by Richard Lowenstein. Morris' second solo album Shiver, followed in August and was produced by Farriss,[31] with Morris writing ten of the eleven tracks.[4] In between recording the album, she gave birth to her son, Hugh. The second single was "She Has to Be Loved", a song which melded funk rhythms with a pop hook.[4] In addition, it featured a strong feminist theme, and quickly became a favourite among Morris's female fans. "She Has to Be Loved" became Morris' first Australasian top ten hit reaching number five in Australia and number three in New Zealand during October 1989. Shiver continued to chart over the Southern Hemisphere summer of 1989–1990, peaking at number five on the Australian album charts and number six in New Zealand,[39][43] it established Morris as one of the best selling female artists in Australia. The track "Aotearoa"—Māori term for 'Land of the Long White Cloud' or New Zealand—received a special single release in New Zealand and reached top 40.[39] The album eventually sold over 250,000 copies, achieving double platinum status in Australia.[44] It spawned two more singles; "Street of Love" written by Australian songsmith Paul Kelly,[45] which reached the top 100 in Australia;[44] and the reggae inspired "Self Deceiver", penned by Morris and Kelly,[46] which reached top 100 in Australia.[44]

    As one of Australia's leading female singer-songwriters, Morris toured extensively locally and internationally,[4] first by backing Tears for Fears on the European leg of their 1989 Sowing the Seeds of Love Tour, then on Prince's 1990 Nude Tour in Denmark, Germany and France,[47][48]—with Dweezil Zappa as her lead guitarist[41][49]—and again with INXS on their X-Factor tour.[31]

    In 1990 she released a cover of "

    Robbie Shakespeare, which peaked top 100 in Australia[44] and top 40 in New Zealand;[39][43] and "Crackerjack Man", which failed to reach the top 100 ARIA chart in Australia.[44]

    On 28 March 1992 Morris performed at the Concert for Life at

    Diesel, INXS, Ratcat and Yothu Yindi.[53] Due to inclement weather an expected attendance of 100,000 never eventuated and, with the event only raising $500,000, scandal was expressed in the media over funding distribution.[53]

    In November, The Best of Jenny Morris: The Story So Far, a best-of compilation was released, it included "Jackson" which was performed as a duet with Michael Hutchence and INXS on a 1985 Countdown episode, and a re-recorded version of an old The Crocodiles' hit "Tears". The album sold steadily and peaked at number four in New Zealand[39] and number 12 on the Australian charts during May 1993,[43] after Morris had supported Paul McCartney on the Australian leg of his The New World Tour.[54][55] 1994 saw the birth of her daughter, Bella. Morris' next single, "The Price I Pay", a Billy Bragg cover,[56] was her last appearance on the Australian ARIA top 100 singles chart.[44]

    Later years: 1995–current

    Morris' next four singles "Only We Can Hear", "Rhythm and Flow", "

    Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) Board and as of 2009 is still on the Board.[57] Morris made an appearance in the television drama, Water Rats, in 1997[58] she continued her gigs, worked for environmental causes[59]
    and maintained her family life.

    In October 2000 she performed with

    Clouds
    )) and jazz (PROP) musicians.

    I had people playing on the album from different backgrounds– classical musicians, programmers, jazz musicians, pop. The songs have been crafted so long and so hard, they’re not throw away but they’re not inaccessible. It's lush, lots of strings beautifully arranged and then groove and beats and really modern sounds and classical guitars as well. It's a collage of all my influences really.

    — Jenny Morris[64]

    Morris wrote or co-wrote nine of the eleven songs on the album, the others, "Guiding Star", was written by

    Darlinghurst, marking the beginning of AIDS awareness week.[71]
