    Cozy Morley Tribute: On The Way to Cape May. Cozy Morley was born in Southwest Philly in the 1920s. He went on and became the owner of Club Avalon in North Wildwood, NJ where he entertained the Philly vacationers for 50 years. Cozy was always the main attraction singing, playing instruments, and telling jokes. His big hit song was "On the Way to Cape May." He was also the usher at our church in Philly, Our Lady of Ransom. Last Call Cozy. RIP.
