I'm surprised that he was 86. I thought he would have been younger than that by 15 years, or so.

One of my absolute favorites. RIP. Terrific singer and musician. God said, ‘Bring on on home to me.”

I had read about this in the news about 30 minutes ago. I’m posting from a motel room in Branson right this moment...I was taking in a show when he passed.

Had some good times at Gilley’s club in Stinkadena back in the day. Things changed a lot when the movie “Urban Cowboy” came out but not for the better.

Mickey Gilley, Jerry Lee Lewis & Jimmy Swaggart were first cousins, if memory serves.
Three pretty fair country entertainers. Of course, Jimmy took himself a little more serious than Mickey & Jerry Lee.
Jerry Lee and Swaggart made some pretty salacious headlines back in the day. Mickey not so much

He worked until the very end. Must have loved it.
Same as with Willie Nelson (89)
Same as with Phillip Glass (Minimalist Classical) (85)
Same as with Jerry Lee Lewis (86)
Same as with Frankie Valli (87)
