Lorrie Morgan was literally a child of the Grand Ole Opry, tagging along as her father, the late George Morgan, performed every weekend from the hallowed wooden stage. Lorrie made her debut appearance at 13, knock-kneed and shaking as her dad watched her charm the audience with the developing sultry alto, which has become one of the most distinctive and moving voices in the country genre. Because of her dedication to the Grand Ole Opry, Lorrie Morgan was invited to become a member in 1984, long before she released her platinum selling debut album Leave the Light On in 1989. Her next two albums Something in Red (1991) and Watch Me (1992) were also certified platinum. Lorrie Morgan quickly became one of country music’s most popular artists, charting more than a dozen top ten hits, including “Five Minutes,” “What Part of No” and “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” which all hit number one. Praise from her peers and fans followed, and Morgan earned nine industry awards, including four wins as Female Vocalist of the Year (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998). She made countless appearances on major network television shows. Lorrie’s album A Moment in Time was released in October 2009. It features 14 covers of traditional country favorites. More recently, in 2016, she released the album Letting Go…Slow. Lorrie Morgan continues to croon around the country.
