Morris was classically trained on piano. He formed a rock and roll group called The Firecrests while a student at Birkenhead School, and served as lead vocalist; they recorded the songs "That'll Be the Day", "I Knew From the Start", and "Party", but were strictly a local attraction. He signed to Pye Records as a solo artist under the name Lance Fortune, and released four singles, two of which became hits in the UK Singles Chart in 1960. While signed to Pye, he was managed by Larry Parnes, who had come up with the name Lance Fortune. In April 1960, Fortune and Jerry Keller replaced the late Eddie Cochran on Gene Vincent's then current UK tour.
After Fortune's fame dried up, Parnes re-used the name Lance Fortune for Clive Powell, who later saw success under the name Georgie Fame. Later in the 1960s, Fortune joined a group called The Staggerlees.

Be Mine '60
Lance Fortune Lyrics
If I always want you kisses
Try to show you just what bliss is
Then fulfil all of your wishes
Would you be willing to be mine?
If I always dreamed about you
Said that I could never doubt you
Couldn't ever live without you
Would you say you'd be mine.
Oh my baby, honey baby
Don't say maybe, please
Say that we can be together
Promise you will leave me never
Know my love is yours forever
If you will just be mine
Oh my baby, honey baby
Don't say maybe, please
Say that we can be together
Promise you will leave me never
Know my love is yours forever
If you will just be mine
If you will just say you'll be mine
Try to show you just what bliss is
Then fulfil all of your wishes
Would you be willing to be mine?
If I always dreamed about you
Said that I could never doubt you
Couldn't ever live without you
Would you say you'd be mine.
Oh my baby, honey baby
Don't say maybe, please
Promise you will leave me never
Know my love is yours forever
If you will just be mine
Oh my baby, honey baby
Don't say maybe, please
Say that we can be together
Promise you will leave me never
Know my love is yours forever
If you will just be mine
If you will just say you'll be mine
