Gary Morris September 25, 2010

Most noted for the smash hit "Wind Beneath My Wings," Gary Morris has traveled a colorful path from Fort Worth to the White House, Nashville to Broadway and beyond. The captivating tenor has crossed many boundaries as an artist and performer, stirring the hearts and souls of countless fans and critics along the way. His music career produced an astounding twenty-five charted singles on the Billboard charts, with five consecutive No. 1 hits "Baby Bye Bye," "I'll Never Stop Loving You," "100% Chance of Rain," "Leave Me Lonely" and a duet with Crystal Gayle, "Making Up For Lost Time (The Dallas Lovers Song)." Morris' music career started when Jimmy Carter asked him to perform at each of his "whistle-stop" speeches during his presidential campaign. After Carter reached the White House, he invited Gary numerous times to entertain there where by chance Warner Brothers executives heard him and later signed him to a record deal. Morris took a break from touring to pursue a serious acting career. One of his first big roles was in the Broadway production of Les Miserables, as Jean Valjean. The full symphonic recording of "Les Miserables" is a platinum selling, Grammy Award-winning album and features Gary's timeless version of "Bring Him Home." He also appeared in Puccini's opera La Boheme with fellow musician Linda Ronstadt. Gary Morris has long been regarded as one of the greatest tenors of our time, having performed for every President since Jimmy Carter and the Queen of England. His performances are always riveting whether solo with a guitar or fronting symphonies worldwide.
