Richard Armitage as Gary Morris in Black Sky
When I heard that Richard Armitage's name in his new movie Black Sky was Gary Morris it kept bothering me that the name was so very familiar. At first I thought maybe it was someone I knew, you know, someone maybe I worked with long ago, or someone in school even longer ago. Then this morning it hit me!
Most people probably know the song from Bette Midler's recording of it, but I was around when the other Gary Morris recorded it, and that's how I first heard the song.
It is appropriate since Richard Armitage is the "Wind Beneath My Wings"
As for the real Gary Morris, thank you for a wonderful song. A salute to Gary Morris fans from an Armitage fan.
Looking forward to hearing RA's American accent as the other Gary Morris.
I also remember Gary Morris going on to star in some Broadway productions most notably Les Miserables. Great singer!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was on Broadway, and in one of my favorite musicals, Les Miserables. Thanks for the info Frenz.
DeleteWonder if our "Gary Morris" will sing in Black Sky?
Didn't know about Gary Morris, but that's my parents' "song."
ReplyDeleteIt's a great song! Your parents picked a lovely one,sweet lyrics.
DeleteI keep thinking of "Garrett" Morris from Saturday Night Live. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I do remember Garrett. "Baseball was very, very, good to me"
DeleteGreat sleuthing Fabo! I hadn't heard of this singer. I do love this song so it is wonderful to have it linked to an RA character.
ReplyDeleteLOL to Grati for the SNL reference! I do remember that one!!
Thanks Grati :)
DeleteI only know him for this one song, but now I'm curious to see what else he's recorded.
