Duet album is latest project

By MARY CAMPBELL AP Newsfeatures Writer Mickey Gilley has his knees bent, poised to take off on another career jump. He has a duet album with Charly McClain, “It Takes Believers,” coming out in April and a new producer for his next solo LP, in May. Right now he thinks he’s paid the highest per concert of any country singer who doesn’t have a gold album. He expects the duet album to go gold and raise his fee. His current “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me” album was No. 20 and climbing on the country best-selling chart of March 24. The title single was No. 3 and climbing. Miss McClain’s “The Woman in Me” album was No. 14 and climbing on March 24. And their duet single, “Candy Man,” a 1961 Roy Orbison hit, was No. 30 and climbing. Their previous duet single, “Paradise Tonight,” already has been No. 1. All are on Epic Records. After his first hit record, “Roomful of Roses,” in 1974, Gilley went to Epic and producer Jim Ed Norman, who pointed out that his beer-drinking, honky tonk songs appeal to men. Norman suggested he sing love songs, appealing to women, who buy more records. “He turned my career around,” Gilley says. “I went from $5,000 a night to SIO,OOO and $12,000. Then ‘Urban Cowboy’ came out and I went to $25,000 a night. I’ve hung there for a certain period of time.” Currently on a packed performance schedule, Gilley is performing some dates with Miss McClain and some with Johnny Lee. A duet interview with him and Miss McClain turns into a solo talk for Gilley when Miss McClain is felled by a sore throat. Their duets happened after Gilley was hired for a segment on the TV series “Chips/’ In a nightclub scene, he introduced a girl singer. Miss McClain, playing that part, got up and sang. While her song was going on' Gilley sang along with it backstage, unheard on TV. He was checking whether they sang in the same key. He’d always sung solo before but he’d recorded “Playboy” for an album with one of his backup singers. Then the backup singer started a romance with one of Gilley’s band members. Gilley has a rule of separation for men and women in his troupe, to prevent hassles. “I’m not against love,” he says. He spoke to the pair, who both left him. They’ve remained friends. “I had all this money spent on tracks on this song. I was looking for somebody on my record label to sing it with me, so I wouldn’t run into contractual problems. I asked Charly how she felt about doing a duet with me. I knew she used to record with Johnny Rodriguez. She said she’d love to. “I was in Nashville recording and she was half a block down the street recording. One of her managers came by and said would I come say hello to her. I

walked in the studio. She was working on ‘Paradise Tonight’ for her ‘Paradise’ album. They wanted me to sing it with her. Her management people told me later it was preplanned. It didn’t matter to me. “I had been working all day. I was dead tired. I thought we were going to lay down a scratch vocal. The result was a No. 1 record for us.” Gilley says that success made the two singers decide to cut a duet album. The first single from it, “Candy Man,” was released before the album. Gilley’s wife is in charge of merchandise sold in Gilley’s in Pasadena, Texas. Their son, a high school senior, has a hard rock band, Rok Bergade, which has made an album it’s trying to sell. Jerry Lee Lewis is Gilley’s first cousin and Jimmy Swaggart is his second cousin. A sign outside Ferriday, La., says, “Home of Jerry Lee Jimmy Swaggart, Mickey Gilley and Howard K. Smith.”

Gilley, 48, moved to Houston at 17. “Working construction, I made 75 cents to $1.25 an hour, depending on what I could get on any given job.” Lewis performed in a Houston football field about a year after Gilley moved there. “The crowd went bananas. I took him to the airport the next day. He reached in his pocket and pulled out all this money. I said, ‘l’m in the wrong business.’ That’s when I decided I’d jump off into music. I thought all I had to do was go make a record and become a star. Sixteen years later I had a hit with ‘Roomful of Roses’.” Not becoming a star right away, he played clubs in Houston. Sherwood Cryer approached him in 1971 about going into business together, buying Shelley’s club and renaming it Gilley’s. Gilley did it, performing there and on a weekly half hour on TV. Gilley started touring, playing piano, opening for Conway Twitty. Six months later he got a motor home and a three-piece

band. Now he travels with seven musicians and two female singers. Cryer put the mechanical bull in Gilley s. “I thought he’d fallen off on his head,” Gilley says. “It was a rodeo training device.” But soon, he says, “Everybody and his brother started talking about it.” Esquire magazine sent a writer to investigate how the cowboy American myth was expressing itself. That article led to the movie “Urban Cowboy,” which drew a lot of attention to him. Gilley was in the movie and had three songs on the soundtrack album.
