Lorrie Morgan

Considering her parents named her Loretta Lynn Morgan when she was born, there was perhaps a little pressure from her country musician pop to join the family business. Good thing her torch-song pipes and an attitude that would make her namesake proud combined to make her one of country’s brightest stars for much of the ’90s, when she was the first woman in country to have three straight albums go platinum. Her 30-year career now includes more than 40 hit singles, including three No. 1s — “Five Minutes,” “What Part of No” and “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.”
