Harrison was born the son of Leroy Olen and Helen Lucille (White) Raymo on November 28, 1938, in a farm house east of Chillicothe, Missouri. He grew up with a passion for country music and airplanes. Harrison attended grade school at Stagner School in Carroll County, Missouri, and graduated from Chillicothe High School in 1956 where he was active in FFA. He accepted Christ as his savior at Grand Oaks Baptist Assembly near Chillicothe, Missouri. Harrison was a lay preacher for several years and attended Hannibal La-Grange College. He enlisted in the United States Army and served as a supply clerk in France. During his time in the Army, he learned to play the steel guitar. Upon returning home, he worked at Donaldson's in Chillicothe. Harrison took flying lessons and later bought his own plane. He was a member of the Short Wing Piper Club, Chillicothe Jaycees, and Chillicothe Optimist Club.
Country music was his passion and he played in many bands. The most notable was the "Chapter Four" band, which had a large following. After a few years at Donaldson's, he decided to change careers.
