Flo Morrissey Albums
''Flo'' is an American sitcom television series and a spin-off of ''Alice'' that aired on CBS from March 24, 1980, to June 30, 1981. The series starred Polly Holliday reprising her role as sassy and street-smart waitress Florence Jean "Flo" Castleberry who returns to her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas—referred to as "Cowtown"—and becomes the proprietor of a rundown old roadhouse that she renames "Flo's Yellow Rose". Although the series started strong-in the Top 10 during its short first season run -repeated timeslot changes resulted in it falling out of the Top 40 shows by mid-March 1981. It was subsequently not renewed when CBS announced its 1981 fall lineup at the May upfronts.

"Sunday Morning" is a song by the Velvet Underground. It is the opening track on their 1967 debut album ''The Velvet Underground & Nico''. It was first released as a single in December 1966. The song is written in the key of F major. Recording In late 1966, "Sunday Morning" was the final song to be recorded for ''The Velvet Underground & Nico''.

The band previously performed it live with Nico singing lead, but when it came time to record it, Lou Reed sang the lead vocal. Nico would instead sing backing vocals on the song. Aiming to cre ...
