From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
George Morgan (June 28, 1924 – July 7, 1975) was a mid-20th century country music singer.
Morgan was born in Waverly, Tennessee but raised in Barberton, Ohio. He was, along with a few other contemporaries (most notably Eddie Arnold and Jim Reeves), referred to as a "country crooner", his singing style being far more similar to that of Bing Crosby or Perry Como than that of Ernest Tubb or Lefty Frizzell. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
George Morgan was a member of the Grand Ole Opry and is best remembered for his No.1 hit on the country music charts, "Candy Kisses."
He is the father of country singer Lorrie Morgan, former girlfriend of Fred Thompson and current wife of country singer Sammy Kershaw.
George Morgan played Father John Patrick Francis Mulcahy in the pilot episode of M*A*S*H, but was replaced by William Christopher in the third episode.
On his passing in 1975, he was interred in the Spring Hill Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee.
