	Artists : Artists A to Z : Mickey Gilley Biography : Great American Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gilley's Club was the sensation of the era: the "world's largest honky-tonk." It was a launching pad for some of country music's biggest stars and the dominating force behind the "Urban Cowboy" craze that swept the country in the early '80s, following the release of the John Travolta movie filmed in the Pasadena, Texas, nightclub.
		As the new century dawned, developers announced the rebirth of Gilley's as "Gilley's Dallas," an entertainment complex that is part of the "South Side" development in the Texas metropolis.
		Mickey has become successful in Branson in the same way that he was successful as a recording artist: by giving his audiences what they want.

		Gilley's had staged everything from Dolly Parton look-alike contests to tricycle races: "These big old boys would get on and try to ride them around but mostly they'd bust them and fall off," says Gilley with a laugh.
		One of those major acts was Mickey Gilley himself, among whose 17 number-one hits was another honky-tonk classic, "A Headache Tomorrow (Or A Heartache Tonight)." Once or twice a month, he'd fly back from a concert tour to play his club.

		As a singer, Gilley was always underrated, and that's a shame because, as he proves in front of an audience, he is a monster of an interpretive vocalist.
		Gilley's version is a raw honky tonker with gorgeous piano runs and backing vocalists sweetly singing a doo wop chorus in the background.
		One of the true stunners on the set is Gilley's version of the Ben E. King/Leiber/Stoller classic "Stand by Me." His live version rivals King's and John Lennon's for pure emotional honesty and searing commitment.
