I saw Mickey Gilley in Laughlin, NV two weeks before he passed. He and Johnny Lee put on a great show. I'm so glad I got to see him and hear his beautiful voice and songs. Very memorable. He is truly missed. RIP Mickey.

I got to know Mickey Gilley when I would do some singing at his club in Pasadena Texas. He also played piano on two of my records. I didn’t know him very well but while around him a few times a very good individual very talented. Ronald Trumble

I met him at The country Lounge on Maryland and Delaware state line back in early 70s . He had me up on stage with him and gave me his personal number and address . Told me if I had someone who could really sing to call him . He had my vote from then on .

I knew Mickey from the beginning g of Gilleys. He was a super person . I handled his travel plans before he got his pilot license. I took bus groups to see him in Branson. He was well loved. Gonna miss Mickey. He and Johnny Lee were on our dancing plans back in the day of Gilleys. Rip Mickey!

I met Mickey while standing in line behind him on the Norwegian Cruise Line in 1986. He was talking to me about how he wanted to see the movie "Out of Africa" I told him "it was a very sad and depressing movie, go see it when you´re so happy you just can´t stand it!" He laughed and then asked..."what are you doing on this cruise? Would like to go out to dinner?" I said, "......well I´m here on my honeymoon" he said "Ohhhh! Ohhhh" Then he looked up and saw my ex husband behind me, 6´4" 240lbs...
