Here we are with another husband and wife couple in the country music industry. This is Lorrie Morgan, former wife of the late Keith Whitley (2022 Hall Of Fame inductee). And in another family connection, Lorrie is the daughter of country legend (and 1998 Hall Of Fame inductee) George Morgan. George had her singing on the Grand Ole Opry stage by the time she was 13. The next decade and a half after that were spent touring and performing, and going from failed recording contract to failed recording contract. It wasn’t until 1988 that she signed with RCA records and got the ball rolling on her radio career. Now, in the years since that point, Lorrie has struggled with a turbulent personal life, going through five different marriages and filing for bankruptcy. But these issues did not prevent her from putting together a respected resume of classic songs, a good radio career, and 3 Grammy award nominations. Maybe a plaque in the Hall’s famed rotunda is next?
