Summary
:
Joan Morrissey was considered Newfoundlands First Lady of Song and was one of the greatest entertainers of her generation. During her career she was involved in every aspect of show business and whether it was a singer, actress, or talk show host, she was well liked by her colleagues and by the Newfoundland public. -- In the early sixties people became familiar with her voice on local radio programs on CJON, VOCM, and CBC. Joan was also a frequent guest on CBC televisions All Around the Circle and was host of CJON televisions "Talent Showcase" and Newfoundland This A.M. seen each weekday. Soon Joan became established as one of the leading local performers of country and western songs. Later on she sang and hosted on such TV shows as Variety Showcase and Country Sound and in a number of Christmas specials. She was also in demand for appearing in nightclubs around the island and with her brand of country and western along with traditional Newfoundland singing, she regularly filled them. She enjoyed to perform comical and parody songs, which poked fun at everyday life in Newfoundland. Some of these songs she wrote herself while others were written by Tom Cahill, some of those include the famous CN Bus, The Mobile Goat and Thank God were Surrounded by Water.
