Gary Morris
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 country singers, 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 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.

Plot: "Fathers" is the story of two single fathers and their sons. One of the men, Rick Tarinno, lost his wife in a tragic car accident 3 years ago. Ever since the accident, Rick has blamed God for everything, from the death of his wife to the living hell that his life has turned into. He turned to a life of abuse and drinking to try to drown his sorrows. The other man, Michael Campbell, is approaching the three year anniversary of the abandonment of his wife and subsequent divorce. The night she left was the same night as Rick's accident. Mike is a blue collar guy that really had to learn to be a parent after the divorce. He turned to his church family and friends for support and help and they led him to God, his ultimate helper. Rick's son, Lucas, and Michael's son, Raymond, have known each other most of their lives. Since the death of Lucas' mom, things haven't really been the same. Lucas has been the victim of his fathers' abuse and has turned to a new group of friends for the attention that he isn't getting at home. Raymond, the star quarterback on the high school football team, has been trying to maintain their friendship, but can do nothing but watch as his lifelong friend slips lower and lower. Rick's lack of faith, Michael's commitment to God, and Raymond's longing for his old friend will all be put to the test when Lucas is put in the toughest situation of his young life and Raymond is forced to fight for his. Only then will the truth be sought and hopefully found, before it's too late. "Fathers" is an exciting adventure into the spiritual journey of four men searching for their place in the world.

Fooled Around And Fell In Love
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
