Morgan Freeman Sings for Literacy as “Easy Reader”
This is Morgan Freeman in approximately 1971 as “Easy Reader” – a literacy-promoting character on The Electric Company, a children’s television show in the 1970s. Amazing. Words fail me, so I will let the video speak for itself.
“Top to bottom and left to right, readin’ stuff is… outta sight!”
“What I’m needin’….is somethin’ for readin’!”

Wow. That was awesome. I love Morgan Freeman. Glad he stuck with acting and not singing though, lol.

Ha! Agreed, Jason. But what a cool guy. And given how much I love his speaking voice, it was neat to hear him use it musically.
