Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of seeing him in West Virgina alone with Alabama... He seemed to be up set that he did not get top billing but he was great none the less... I really love his song of "You Don´t know me" I use to sing this song to my wife... Of course I was never as good as Mickey but she enjoyed none the less... I will always love his music he was great!!! Sorry to know he is gone...

I saw him in Newportnews with Alabama What a performer Loved his music and still do!!!

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 was 14 years old in 1986 and rode the bull while visiting family in Houston. Great memory!

Rest in peace, Mickey Gillis I was in your bar in the 80s very memorable

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!
