Lorrie Morgan-"Dear Me," July 1989

Lorrie performing her big hit "Dear Me" from her breakthrough 1988 album "Leave the Light On," only 2 months after she lost her husband, Keith Whitley. Take special note to the jacket she is wearing. This jacket and bolo tie she was wearing her is the same one Keith wore on his Austin City Limits appearance. This jacket and bolo tie now hangs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. She explained that she wore it here during this performance because it still had his scent on it, and she didn't have the heart to put it in a bag and pack it away.

Such an amazing singer. She was so underrated and def one of the best!!!!

Back during Keith's bluegrass days, the first time he ever played on the Grand Ole Opry the first Opry member he ever met was (incredibly) George Morgan. Who'd have thought he'd wind up years later marrying his daughter? Isn't that wild?

[@robertduransongcovers4401]

Always has been one of my favorite songs.

[@bobbyozb]

Singing her signature song....I think she never looked better than right her.....Kinda has had a messed up life....Wish she could have met me !!!!!

Keith was the love of Lorrie life

[@erikthesmith]

You folks are crazy. She looks awesome with long hair! That's a good-looking woman, right there.

[@MAMsMom97]

Look, you guys, I am a self-proclaimed mega-superfan, and I can tell you that I have an image of Keith that I worship that may not necessarily match the real man. I try not to think about the shortcomings, the way he died, etc. I wasn't trying to put anyone in their place, just simply saying that their marriage wasn't what we wished it was. Barbidoll0, take a look at the vid of Keith & Lorrie fishing together that was just posted. Keith hardly speaks. You can just feel the tension.

She told Ralph Emery in an interview after this performance that it's a faux. She said it gave her something to play with. In fact, Ralph even mentioned how much she looked like Dolly with the faux on. She responded by looking inside Keith's old jacket she had on here (to compare her chest with hers).

[@kellyhughart2105]

I don't know how she kept from crying during this performance, when you consider the fact that it was only two months after Keith Whitley's death. This is such a sad song, and it was such a sad time in her life. She did a great job with this performance.

Wow 4 People thumbs down this great song so sad

[@codym8897]

Would you upload Lorrie Morgan and Steve Wariner on Austin City Limits, which aired on April 14, 1990?

[@danroberts9050]

Who loves 80s hair?

[@muffyrocs1]

@MAMsMom97 im not a huge Lorrie fan, but if u just hear the songs she sings, it tells u, she wanted more then what she was gettin.... Happiness is what ppl search for

[@luvut]

Great song performed the way that only Lorrie can sing. Thanks.

Bill W. one of the founders of A.A. said that Alcoholics seem to have a gift of pick good women .

[@geriminelli1]

When I was in Nashville and hangin' out at the Grand Ole Opry in 2001, Lorrie was on the stage that night. What an experience the whole thing :-)

[@song4you80]

She's wearing Keith's jacket.

[@MAMsMom97]

Stick with me, Elin, we'll go places! (LOL) No, seriously, in case you haven't figured it out, she was Keith's widow and the mother of his only child. This was the song she had on the US charts right around the time of Keith's death. I loved her hairpiece she had on here! I have one kind of like this, except mine is brown to match.

[@canpat719]

Perfect video, perfect song, but poor quality. Sad. :(

[@MAMsMom97]

Let me think. George passed away in '75, Keith started playing bluegrass when he was 15, that was '69-'70, so it was between '70 & '75. Keith would have been between 15 and 20 years old, and he was 31 when he married Lorrie in November '86.

[@yough56]

she is adorable!!

[@hismissionmine]

Wow, I remember thinking this song was so sad everytime I would hear it. Now that I know this story I se why. I wasn't quite old enough to get it back then.

[@laarbe]

I have always thought that Lorrie Morgan was a beautiful and talented woman. She is such a woman of enormous strength and dignity. She has a voice of an angel. This song is so sad and haunting. Thanks for the post and memories.

[@muffyrocs1]

wow, luv the hair

[@Huntinbear]

love the hair...I miss big 80's hair.

[@dowling1981]

his - Has Voltar been portained?

[@skibum7986]

lorrie, dont ever let your hair grow !!

[@darlenecable7304]

Shes great!!

[@MAMsMom97]

Lorrie's daddy was the singer George Morgan. He was best known for the 1948 classic "Candy Kisses," but there was a song "From This Moment On" that he did that Lorrie added her vocals to, an inorganic duet of sorts. That song is on KZbin if you'd like to check it out.

[@cabanaboi29]

that was really rude Quietlyseeking.. i may say some off the wall stuff, but what you said wasn't even worth saying at all

[@helene6686]

I'm guessing this is where the #dearme started.....

[@patsyfan1]

[@laurencemckeever8428]

she is simply the best
