Mickey Gilley is a country singer and musician. Although Gilley had one minor country chart hit — "Now I Can Live Again" coincidentally hit #68 in 1968 — the break that led to him becoming a nationally-known star occurred in 1974. He recorded a single intended to be played in Pasadena jukeboxes. The A-side was "She Called Me Baby" and "Room Full of Roses" was on the B-side. After a local DJ played the B-side on the air, the song was picked up and played nationally. Since the breakthrough of "Room Full of Roses", Gilley has had 17 songs reach #1 on the country music charts. He has also won six Academy of Country Music Awards, including Top New Artist, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
