Today, my guest is Gary Morris, country singer. You might have heard the name before and heard his song "Wind Beneath My Wings." 

Gary was massive in the ’80s and had a fair few number-one singles. He even played in the White House, and he tells the story of his trajectory of fame.

Does Gary Morris have children? He does, Matt, Sam, Chandler, Garon, and Hunter.

He sings a tune from his latest album, which is awesome, and tells some great stories about getting into the industry.

Gary even shares with us a story of a UFO sighting he's had that he's never shared publicly before! 

“People ask me what I’d do differently, and I say nothing because I like where I am now.” - Gary Morris
