1979, he hosted both shows on the same weekend as he subbed for Casey on AT40 in addition to hosting his own SOTW. Morgan is one of only three substitute hosts to have filled in on both a three-hour and a four-hour AT40 (Bruce Phillip Miller and Morgan's ex-fellow KHJ jock Mark Elliott are the other two); in fact he recorded his 1979 AT40 episode in over 40 minutes, faster than any episode hosted by a regular or substitute host. End of a legendary career The year 1992 would signal the twilight years of Morgan's distinguished radio broadcast career when he signed on as morning show host of "oldies" K-EARTH 101, where he again enjoyed solid ratings in the Los Angeles market before announcing in May 1997 that he was suffering from lung cancer. According to L.A. radio personality Bob Shannon, Morgan told his listeners, "It could have something to do with the two-packs-a-day cigarette habit I had for the last 35 years." In an emotional on-air statement, Morgan stated that he was taking some time off to fight the disease full-time. His friend and colleague Don Steele died of lung cancer in August 1997. Morgan continued to do broadcasts from his home studio until 1998. On January 9, 1998, K-EARTH 101 held a retirement tribute for Morgan at the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills. The tribute included a re-dedication of his Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and a three-hour broadcast from the museum’s theater, hosted by Gary Owens and Morgan's KRTH co-host, Joni Caryl. It concluded with a thirty-minute retrospective on Morgan’s career, narrated by Dick Clark. Morgan died on May 22, 1998. He was 60 years old. Morgan was married twice and was survived by a daughter.

Samples of his work are on permanent display at the Museum of Broadcasting in New York City, the Museum of Television & Radio in Beverly Hills and the International Broadcasting Congress archives in Brussels.
