Mickey Gilley

Easily the best two hours of music and comedy to be found is the Mickey Gilley Show . Mickey Gilley, whose thirty-nine hit songs --- of which seventeen went to the top of the country charts --- made him the legend he is today. His top-rated, award-winning eight piece band, which includes three horn players and his two excellent backup singers, jumps right in as Mickey takes his audience through a musical medley of his string of Number One hits. With the magic he's held over audience for over two decades, Mickey has all the moves down as the cameras flash. Always the showman, Mickey shows that he's every bit the storyteller as he recounts his days of growing up in Ferriday, Louisiana and the adventures he shared with his cousins and fellow keyboard-players, Rocker Jerry Lee Lewis and Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. The fact he's most proud of is having a street named after him in Ferriday before his famous cousins did.

Mickey's comically expressive sidekick, rubber-faced Joey Riley, playfully bashes straight man Mickey who slings back his own barbs. Their hilarious ad-libbing has them both doubled over enough through the show where they have to stop for a few minutes to gather themselves together again. Their chemistry works wonderfully for them as the audience spends much of their time doubled over, too. It's an absolute hoot!

Joey also proves himself to be quite an adept fiddle player on "Orange Blossom Special," and finally ends the show with the song he continually refers to throughout, the incredibly funny "Ever Since You Left Baby I Don't Have To Put The Seat Down Anymore," topped with a hilarious ending.
