Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - Jeff Wagner, Mayor of Pasadena, Texas, announced in a Facebook post that country singer/songwriter Mickey Gilley has passed away at age 86.

“Pasadena has lost a true legend. Mickey Gilley passed away today, surrounded by his loved ones. It was my great honor to know this man most of my life,” Wagner said.

Gilley charted 42 singles in the Top 40 Country Charts over a span of two decades.

Pasadena gained exposure around the world when Gilley’s Club was shown in the 1980 film, "Urban Cowboy".


“Our prayers for comfort and peace are with Mickey’s family, his loved ones and his fans,” Wagner said.

My most favorite songs from him are "That's All That Matters To Me" and "Paradise Tonight".

God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. Gee whiz.....Naomi Judd probably hasn't even been laid to rest yet. As far as I know, nothing has been said yet about when her memorial will be if there is one. What we know has happened so far was her Country Music Hall Of Fame induction ceremony last Sunday.

Very sad.......

My mom used to like Mickey Gilley and That's All That Matters To Me because she first heard that song when Mickey guest starred on an episode of Designing Women and he sang that song and she really enjoyed it. I think a lot of people will remember Mickey Gilley for his covers of oldies. Because Mickey could handle covers very well and he actually sang them great. One other song he covered was Lenny Welch's hit Since I Fell For You and that cover shows how Mickey Gilley was an ace at cover songs. I can bet why they made his restaurant be in the movie Urban Cowboy? Because Mickey Gilley was an opening act for singer Johnny Lee too
