Country music star Lorrie Morgan has singing in her genes. The daughter of Grand Ole Opry star George Morgan, Lorrie grew up backstage at the Opry, debuting there at the tender age of 13. Her father died when she was 16, and a year later she was singing professionally. At 21, she was opening shows for none other than George Jones. Despite her stormy and tragic personal life--at last count, she's been married five times--she has broken through the ranks of the country music scene, releasing her twelfth album, Show Me How, in 2003. Even though she began singing at a young age, Morgan didn't become a household name until she released three number-one singles, "Five Minutes," "What Part of No," and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength," in the 1990s. After a dozen albums, including her first Greatest Hits album in 1995, she is now considered a country legend. Both her current and earlier works are in high demand by her fans and music collectors, as well as a collection of her sheet music, performances on VHS and DVD, and various concert photos. As with any celebrity, first-edition merchandise and rare artifacts are more desirable than mass-produced ones. Spanning decades, her career also covers a variety of technological advancements, too. True music fans can find Morgan's songs on 45s, cassette tapes, as well as today's format of choice, the CD. If purchasing digital media, note that some CDs and DVDs are designed to play in one area of the world, for instance, North America, but are unable to play in others such as Europe.
