Origins, the original recording, and subsequent versions[edit]
Written and composed by New York City-born songwriter Chip Taylor, actor Jonathan "Jon" Voight's brother, "Angel of the Morning" was originally offered to Connie Francis to sing, but she turned it down because she thought that it was too risqué for her career.[citation needed] The song's narrator describes her feelings about a one-night stand: "If morning's echo says we've sinned, well, it was what I wanted now."
Taylor produced a recording of the song with Evie Sands, but the financial straits of Cameo-Parkway Records, which had Sands on their roster, reportedly prevented either that version's release or its distribution.
Other early recordings of the song were made in 1967 by Danny Michaels for Lee Hazlewood's LHI label and by UK vocalist Billie Davis.
The song finally became a hit in 1968 through a recording by Merrilee Rush, made that January at American Sound Studios in Memphis, with Chips Moman and Tommy Cogbill producing. Rush had come to Memphis through the group she fronted, the Turnabouts, being the opening act for a Paul Revere and the Raiders tour. While in Memphis, the Raiders recorded the album Going to Memphis at American Sound Studios, an association which led to Rush's discovery by Tommy Cogbill, who had been hoping to find the right voice for "Angel of the Morning"—he had kept a tape of the demo of that song constantly in his pocket for several months.
Rush recorded the song and the tracks which would comprise her Angel of the Morning album with the American Sound house band, even though the single and the album would be credited to the group "Merrilee Rush & the Turnabouts."[2]
The single version was released in February 1968, and reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 that June, peaking at No. 7. A No. 1 hit in Canada,[3] Australia and New Zealand, and also gave Rush a hit in the Netherlands (No. 4). The song earned Rush a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary-Pop Vocal Performance, Female.
Rush recorded a new version of the song for her 1977 eponymous album release. (Rush's version of "Angel of the Morning" would be featured on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Girl, Interrupted, whose time frame is 1967 and 1968, in which author-composer Chip Taylor's niece Angelina Jolie had a starring role.)
In the United Kingdom, where Rush's version stalled at No. 55, a rendition by P. P. Arnold,[4] who had sung background on the 1967 Billie Davis version, reached No. 29 in August 1968.
In 1970 a rendition by Connie Eaton reached No. 34 on the Billboard C&W charts.
In 1977, Mary Mason also had a UK Top 30 hit with her version, which was actually a medley of two Chip Taylor songs, "Angel of the Morning" and "Any Way That You Want Me," reaching No. 27.[5]
Also in 1977 the British act Guys 'n' Dolls had a hit in the Netherlands with the song, and their version reached No. 11 on the Dutch charts.
In 1978 a release by Melba Montgomery reached No. 22 on the Billboard C&W chart.

The highest-charting and best-selling version in the United States was recorded and released in 1981 by country-rock singer Juice Newton for her album Juice. Newton re-interpreted the song at the suggestion of Steve Meyer, who promoted Capitol Records singles and albums to radio stations and felt a version of "Angel of the Morning" by Newton would be a strong candidate for airplay.[7] Newton would state that she would never have herself thought of recording "Angel of the Morning," and even though she immediately recognized the song when Meyer played it for her (quote): "I [hadn't been] really aware of that song because...when [it] was popular I was listening to folk music and R&B and not Pop, and that was a very Pop song." [8]
Newton's version reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 22 on the Billboard country music chart, and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in April of that year.[9][10] The recording also earned Newton a Grammy nomination, and in the same category as Rush's 1968 hit. More than 1 million units of Newton's single of the song were sold in the United States, and the single reached the Top 10 in a number of other countries, including Canada and Australia. Notably, Newton's video for "Angel of the Morning" was the first country-music music video aired on MTV; it first aired in 1981. In the UK, this recording reached No. 43 on the UK Singles Chart, marking the song's third appearance on that chart without becoming a truly major hit.[11] (Newton recorded the song again in 1998 for her The Trouble with Angels album.)
The song "Angel," released by reggae artist Shaggy, heavily samples "Angel of the Morning," using the melody, but with different words, for the sung refrain. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending March 31, 2001.
Swedish singer Jill Johnson released "Angel of the Morning," with lyrics in English, in 2007 from her album of cover versions, Music Row. This version peaked at No. 30 at the Swedish singles chart.
Versions by Chip Taylor[edit]
In 1972, Taylor released a version on Buddah 325. It reached #101 in the Record World survey.
In 1996, Taylor released a version on the album Hit Man.[12]
In 1999, a version by Taylor appeared on the KGSR fundraiser CD Broadcasts Vol. 7.[13]
In 2004, Taylor released a version of the song with his singer/songwriter partner Carrie Rodriguez on the album of the same name.[14]

Film, television and literature[edit]
The Merrilee Rush version of the song is featured in the soundtrack of the films Girl, Interrupted (as noted above) and Violet and Daisy.
Rush's version is also played during a scene in the 1978 film Fingers, where it is used to accentuate the conflicted nature of the main character played by Harvey Keitel.
The song was performed live by Chrissie Hynde in a 1995 episode of Friends titled "The One with the Baby on the Bus," and that version also appears in that show's soundtrack album. (As noted above, though released as a single, it did not chart.)
The song also makes an appearance in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, with Tom Cruise's titular character singing what appears to be the original version, enthusiastically if badly.
More recently, Conan O'Brien has referenced the track, during periodic ironic pledges to cease his show's use of arbitrary and stupid humor in which he presents a gorilla dressed as a nurse who uses an old-fashioned abdominal exerciser while enjoying the song.
In "Branch Closing", an episode of The Office, Michael Scott sings "Levinson in the morning" to his supervisor, Jan Levinson.
The song plays a central role in Graeme Simsion's 2016 novel The Best of Adam Sharp[15] (optioned to Vocab Films in 2017).[16]
Juice Newton's version is heard during Drew Barrymore's first scene in the film Charlie's Angels, in the film Charlie Wilson's War (in which it is also sung by Emily Blunt), the opening titles of Deadpool, and the ending of The Meddler. It is also featured in Season 1 of HBO's True Detective.
The Toyota Highlander "Kid Cave" commercial, aired from late 2010, features a young boy who is embarrassed by his parents's singing of the song while he is riding with them in a car.[17]
The song features in an episode of ABC's sitcom Modern Family, "Regrets Only" (Series/Season 2, Ep 16), when Gloria, portrayed by Sofia Vergara, is singing along to it on a karaoke machine. A karaoke version of the song is also featured in the second-season finale of the HBO series The Leftovers.
The song also features a parody version in Family Guy with Peter Griffin portraying himself as Deadpool.

Premise[edit]
The series follows the events that happen after a young mother kills someone in public but has no idea why she did so.
Development[edit]
The series, described as a "close-ended series"[4] by the network, was adapted from the novel of the same name by Petra Hammesfahr, however the book's darker outlook was toned down and the location shifted from Germany to Upstate New York in the United States.[5] It was the first time that Biel had executive-produced a series, a role she said was "gold".[6] Biel stated that she moved into production so that she could develop projects with challenging and interesting roles rather than waiting for them to happen.[7]

"Part I" Antonio Campos Derek Simonds August 2, 2017 (2017-08-02) 1.63[11]
Cora Tannetti, raised by religious zealots, is now married to Mason and mother of a toddler, Laine. The marriage is strained by Mason's attachment to his mother, who lives on the same property and watches her grandson while Cora and Mason work at the family business. At the lake with her husband and son, Cora almost drowns herself, but changes her mind. Back on the beach while cutting up a pear, she sees an amorous couple kissing and playing music. She uses a paring knife to repeatedly stab the man, Frankie Belmont, killing him. Detectives Harry Ambrose and Dan Leroy are assigned the case. With Cora's confession, Dan views the case as closed, while Harry wishes to learn why she committed a random murder. He must hurry, as she is soon to be arraigned in court.

"Part II" Antonio Campos Derek Simonds August 9, 2017 (2017-08-09) 1.41[12]
Cora pleads guilty to second-degree murder to avoid a trial, but the judge orders a competency evaluation. After learning that Frankie seemed to recognize Cora as she stabbed him and that they possibly had a destructive relationship, Harry questions her. She admits that, in 2012, she had sex with Frankie after meeting him in a bar, only he called himself "J.D.". Frankie's parents claim that he was in California in 2012. Harry confronts Cora, forcing her to listen to the music that caused her to stab Frankie, and she attacks Harry in a similar manner.

"Part III" Antonio Campos Derek Simonds August 16, 2017 (2017-08-16) 1.64[13]
Cora dreams of Laine and asks Mason to bring him to visit. Harry visits Cora's parents, William and Elizabeth Lacey, and learns about Cora's now deceased sister, Phoebe, and learns that Cora disappeared a month before Phoebe died in 2012. Cora has dreams of a foot collapsing a sternum and wakes up screaming. While attempting to sedate Cora, the prison staff expose scars on her arm. When Harry visits Cora, he asks if she had a heroin addiction. Cora aks Harry not to tell Mason, but Harry says he can't promise that. Harry learns Cora's aunt Margaret came to see her and goes to see Margaret. Cora lived with Margaret after she reappeared in 2012. Margaret tells Harry that Cora would wake up at 3am every morning with nightmares. Mason goes to visit Cora without Laine and asks if it was J.D. that got Cora hooked on drugs. Harry visits the detox center Cora was taken to after she reappeared, then tests Cora to see if she actually knows how to shoot up. Mason’s friend points out J.D. at a bar.

"Part IV" Brad Anderson Liz W. Garcia August 23, 2017 (2017-08-23) 1.76[14]
Both Mason and J.D. are arrested and questioned. Mason tells Dan that J.D. is a drug dealer. J.D. tells Harry he's never met Cora, even though Harry says Cora remembers meeting him in a bar on the third of July. J.D.'s lawyer, Mr. Harding, ends the interview. Dan knows Harding and says he is like "bringing a cannon" to a knife fight. Dan and Harry wonder why J.D. has such a high-powered lawyer. Mason's friend, Caitlin, admits to Harry that she told Mason Cora mentioned J.D. Harry questions Cora and realizes she doesn't remember anything between July 3, 2012, and waking up in an alley in Poughkeepsie two months later. Harry convinces Dr. Chang, one of Cora’s competency evaluators, to try memory recovery work with Cora. Harry looks for J.D.'s ex-girlfriend, Madeline Beecham, and Mason tries to get J.D. arrested for drug-dealing. Harry goes for a hike with his wife, Faye, to survey the woods he believes Cora was remembering.
