I knew Mickey since I was a kid. He wasn’t a music star to us. He was just the nice guy my grandfather knew. Gilley’s was just this place huge place my parents took us to shoot pool in the afternoons. It was only when I was a teenager and then Urban Cowboy hit that I knew him as famous. But even then he was the guy who used to come into the burger joint I worked at. He always had a smile and asked how the family was. I moved away after high school but my cousins still hung out with his grandkids. He was a class act. Now his old business partner was another story. Mickey will be missed by old school Pasadena.
To the family of Mr. Mickey Gilley, I want you to know you had a "great star" in your family that will be missed. I feel like watching "Urban Cowboy" right now as we speak. God bless your family and the rest of all your loved ones as well. He'll never be forgotten.
How wonderful this was recorded! I was hoping to see Mickey perform again... didn't get the chance. His voice was still very strong! He was always very quick and personable. Always gave his best and always was kind to all his fans! Best honky tonk player....saw those fingers fly many times. We visited and he always remembered me when he saw me! Sang to me a couple times, what a thrill. I promoted shows in 70's and early 80's. What a nice human being....he will always be remembered in many ways, not only his talents of playing, singing, but also his kindness and good deeds! Mickey was a good business and promoter! Johnny seems very fragile tonight....sad...but he still put it out there. Saw several shows of these 2 good friends! Always entertaining and fun. One could see they enjoyed performing! God bless you both!
For Mr. Johnny Lee, I'll never forget my days as a young child singing "Looking For Love" everywhere I went. I even tried to sing it in a school competition, but just didn't have the singing voice back then I may have now. Your music made me partially into the man I am now. God bless!
Rest in peace Mr. GILLEY. Thank you for your.body of music that will.forever be a staple in country music. I ask God to bring your family.comfort in their hour.of grief as well as your friends.

Johnny can't hardly walk anymore- Parkinsons is definitely catching up to him. Mickey can sing as good as ever!! I was associated with Mickey when Urban Cowboy was hot. We had some good times after fhe shows and sometimes Johnny was there also. Got to know Mickey real good, but he is so easy to talk to and very personable . Real regular guy! Saw him perform a couple years ago, his voice is as good as in the 70's and he has been thru so much personal tragedies. What a guy!! I was with his Fan Club and that is how I had an "in" to him . Sadly the Fan Club is no longer in running.
I'm just watching this for the first time. I'm surprised to see that my brother is playing the steel guitar. I never knew about this one. I'm enjoying the show so much it's nice to see my brother again. He passed away a year and a half ago. I'm soaking it all in! May Mickey Gilley and my brother JD Beckman rest in peace! I love you big brother!
Elvis should have listened more to MG and even recorded some of his hits like BRING ITVON HOME TO ME and TALKVTO ME....!!! ELVIS' LOSS.... LOVE Mickey's honky tonk piano. Should have come more often to Europe. We love him here Edward, Europe
I recently have been watching countrys family reunion shows and micky gilly and Johnny Lee were on an episode and said they are cousins. I've always loved Johnny Lee. One of my first crushes.
