Timeline

Inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2011.

Gilley won $17 million from Cryer, but it completely shattered their relationship and forced the closing of the club in 1989.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6930 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on October 14, 1984.

The club, billed as the "world's biggest honky tonk", became famous when it was used as the setting for Urban Cowboy (1980), which boosted Gilley's national exposure.

By the 1980s, Gilley was experiencing crossover success when he mellowed his C+W with a more pop orientation. He managed to put songs on the charts in each of 15 years, enjoying 17 #1 country hits. Gilley and partner Sherwood Cryer had a falling out after Cryer became increasingly hostile about changes made to the club. Gilley eventually had to sue Cryer over their "50-50" deal, which Gilley argued favored Cryer much more heavily.

Among his other No. 1 hits were "Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closin' Time" (1976); "She's Pulling Me Back Again" (1977); "That's All that Matters" (1980); "A Headache Tomorrow or a Heartache Tonight" (1981); "Lonely Nights" and "Put Your Dreams Away" (1982); and "Fool for Your Love" (1983).

Has 17 No. 1 hits on Billboard magazine's country singles chart -- 16 solo from 1974-1983, and one duet. The duet hit, "Paradise Tonight", came in 1983 with fellow country singer Charly McClain.

Three years later, he became a nightclub owner when he opened Gilley's Club in Pasadena, Texas in 1971.

In 1970, he opened his first nightclub in Pasadena, Texas, called Gilley's Club, which later became known as the "world's biggest honky tonk".

He didn't release his first album, "Down the Line", until 1967. The album yielded a minor hit, "Now I Can Live Again".

First married at age 17, Gilley had a minor hit, "Call Me Shorty", in 1958, but it would be years before he came out from under Jerry lee's shadow and established himself as a star.

After Lewis became a chart-topper in the 1950s, Mickey turned professional himself and cut some singles before becoming a session player in the Big Easy.

Country western star Mickey Gilley was born on March 9, 1936 in Natchez, Mississippi, the cousin of future rockabilly legend Jerry Lee Lewis and disgraced televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, and raised in Ferriday, Louisiana. In their childhood, all three would play the piano when they got together and sing gospel and boogie-woogie songs.
