George Morgan was born June
28, 1925 in Waverly, Tennessee, and began singing and working
a couple of radio stations, including WWVA in Wheeling WV,
while living in Ohio. He moved to Nashville in 1949 as a new
member of the Grand Ole Opry. George recorded for Columbia
Records and scored with several hits, his biggest two were
“Candy Kisses” and “Room Full of Roses.” His daughter, Lorrie
Morgan, has surpassed her father in popularity. Lorrie has
often stated that she believed her father, as a singer, was on
a par with Perry Como and Frank Sinatra. It is truly a shame
that George Morgan only lived 50 years. He was gifted with a
beautiful, smooth voice and knew how to use it.
George Morgan passed away July
7, 1975.
