Gary Gwyn Morris (born December 7, 1948) is an American country music artist who charted a string of countrypolitan-styled hit songs throughout the 1980s.
Morris is known for the 1983 ballad "The Wind Beneath My Wings", although his credits include more than twenty-five other chart singles on the Billboard country charts, including five No. 1 hits. He has also released nine studio albums, with his 1983 album Why Lady Why having earned a gold certification from the RIAA.
Early life
Morris has two siblings, a twin sister (Carey) and younger brother, Mark. Even though Morris was best known for pop-oriented hits in the 1980s, he was descended from a long line of traditional countrysingers, who sang hard-twang country and also gospel.
Gary's family moved from Fort Worth, Texas to North Richland Hills, Texas in the late 1950s. While in the third grade, Morris and his sister won a talent show after singing their rendition of the pop hit "This Old House," originally popularized by Rosemary Clooney. Morris, a good athlete, played four sports at Richland High School, which led to a scholarship with Cisco Junior College in Texas. It was during college that singing became Morris's chosen vocation, and he decided to move to Colorado. He and his two friends formed a trio, and asked a Colorado Springs bartender if they could get up on the bandstand and perform a few songs, and the audience's response (and tips) convinced Morris to put his college plans on hold and to pursue a performing career.
A group of high school students are in a car together in the night as a storm is brewing. When the storm gets worse, they look up ahead and see a tornado approaching. A girl begs for them to go, but the boy recording on a camera gets out to video tape the tornado. He gets back in the car, but the tornado picks them up before they can escape, killing them all.
In the town of Silverton, Oklahoma, the local high school senior class is preparing for graduation. The high school's vice-principal, Gary Fuller (Richard Armitage), has asked his two sons, Trey and Donnie, to record messages from the seniors for a time capsule to be opened in 25 years. Elsewhere, Pete (Matt Walsh), a veteran storm chaser, has been attempting to intercept and film tornadoes using a heavily armored Tornado Intercept Vehicle nicknamed Titus, but has come up short all year long. Upon learning of a major line of developing storms, the chasers confer and decide to head for Silverton in hopes of filming tornadoes. After arriving in Silverton, the team discovers that the cell they had been chasing has dissipated, upsetting Pete. As the team reconvenes to determine its next move, the Silverton cell abruptly strengthens, resulting in a hailstorm and tornado. As the team films, the funnel abruptly shifts course and heads for the high school.
Gary Morris' credits include more than twenty five chart singles on the Billboard country charts, including five number 1 hits.
He is known for his version of "Wind Beneath My wings" which became a #4 hit on the country charts in 1983.
This performance was recorded live at Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida.

Gary Morris & Juice Newton I must have been through about a million girls I’d love ‘em and I’d leave ‘em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone Then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love Used to be when I’d see a boy that I liked I’d get out my book and I’d write down his name But when the grass got a little greener on the other side I’d just tear out that page Then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I was free, on my own, that’s the way I used to be But since I met you baby, love’s got a hold on me I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love
