Lorrie Morgan's Personal Manager Burt Stein Responds to Lawsuit "Lorrie Morgan is hurt
and offended by this extraneous and frivolous lawsuit. I can assure you
she is completely innocent of any wrongdoing and her attorney Ben Harrison
of Cornelius and Collins will prove that in court. There is without question
another agenda in play by the plaintiffs."

LORRIE
MORGAN’S THE COLOR OF ROSES CONCERT The Color of Roses, Lorrie Morgan’s first ever live concert recording, just released to great acclaim recently by Image Entertainment on DVD, VHS and a double disc CD and audiocassette, will be featured by Direct TV as their Free View Concert in April. The Color of Roses concert will run every weekend in April starting Fridays at 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. each of the following Mondays. The first weekend of Free View Concerts for Lorrie Morgan will start this Friday April 5th. Morgan says, "For years I've been wanting to offer a live concert recording, and I never really had the opportunity. This just felt like the right time to do it. All the pieces just fell into place." The Color of Roses concert boasts Morgan's brilliant performance at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center with a full orchestra. In addition, Charles Callelo, one of the original Four Seasons, was Morgan's musical director for this multi-hued concert extravaganza. The event was directed by Don Carr. Though Image Entertainment, long recognized as the market leader in music video long form and DVD, has an extensive catalogue of nearly 1800 DVD titles with 400-plus that are music-related across the entire range of genres, this is only the second time that the worldwide licensing, distribution and production company has ventured into the compact disc arena with a country music artist. The first was earlier in 2001 with Randy Travis Live, which, as with Morgan, was also released on DVD and VHS. Image Entertainment, however, has released an audio-only component in several other genres.

IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT CULTIVATES LORRIE MORGAN'STHE COLOR OF ROSES ON DVD, VHS, CD AND CASSETTE
In her decade-long career, Lorrie Morgan has commercially released 26 albums, eight singles, and three videos. That number is about to grow even larger when Image Entertainment releases Morgan's first-ever live concert recording, The Color of Roses, on DVD, VHS and a double disc CD and audio cassette set on March 12. The title track will go to radio in early January, 2002. Morgan says, "For years I've been wanting to offer a live concert recording, and I never really had the opportunity. This just felt like the right time to do it. All the pieces just fell into place." The formats will be sold separately, with the audio-only 2-CD component boasting Morgan's performance at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the first disc, and two studio recordings with a full orchestra ("The Color of Roses" and a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night") on the second disc, along with an exclusive interview. The project was produced by Sandy Linzer and Charles Callelo, of the production powerhouse, Linzer-Callelo. In addition, Callelo, one of the original Four Seasons, was Morgan's musical director for this multi-hued concert extravaganza. The event was directed by Don Carr. Morgan comments enthusiastically, "I loved working with Charlie, and thought, 'This is the perfect opportunity, because these people are perfectionists and so am I.'" In addition to Morgan signatures, "Something in Red," "Go Away" and many others performed with her band, Morgan displays an affinity for Broadway show tunes and standards, finessing Rodgers & Hammerstein ("My Favorite Things"), Frank Sinatra ("Fly Me to the Moon"), Billie Holiday ("Good Morning Heartache") and even Doris Day ("Secret Love"), backed by Nashville's Belmont University School of Music Orchestra. Morgan reveals, "I love, love workin' with orchestras. When the symphony joins in, it just wraps around me." Image Entertainment vice president of marketing Garrett M. Lee observes, "She's done material that will be new and surprising to her fans, so this is far more than a live greatest hits collection." Though Image Entertainment, long recognized as the market leader in music video long form and DVD, has an extensive catalogue of upwards of 1600 DVD titles with 400-plus that are music-related across the entire range of genres, this is only the second time that the worldwide licensing, distribution and production company has ventured into the compact disc arena with a country music artist. The first was earlier in 2001 with Randy Travis Live, which, as with Morgan, was also released on DVD and VHS. Image Entertainment, however, has released an audio-only component in several other genres. As for gaining additional ground in country music CDs, Lee comments, "We saw what Lorrie Morgan's fan base is. We have the opportunity to do an awful lot of artists, and we always look at what fits best for us. What's great about Lorrie is that we learned a lot about this market with Randy Travis. Once you have one success, which we feel most definitely we did with Randy Travis, it made it that much easier to take on the Lorrie Morgan project." Image Entertainment's CD release of Morgan's The Color of Roses further cultivates the company's credibility in the format. Lee states, "It will let people know that if they come to Image Entertainment with a product, then we can run with it in all formats. We already have between a 26 and 27 per cent market share of the music DVD business. And for a company like Image, which isn't affixed to any stable of talent, that's a phenomenal track record," Lee points out. In a stroke of poetic marketing genius that designates Image Entertainment as a full-bloom multi-format player, Image has locked down a cross-promotion with 1-800-FLOWERS in conjunction with The Color of Roses, in which a discount coupon will be included with the home video and audio releases. Ahhhh, the sweet smell of success. |
