Looking back on the life of Mickey Gilley, who died May 7 in Branson, Mo., at the age of 86, one must consider the musician and the country music era that he helped to define.
The singer-pianist was a versatile stylist, an outstanding instrumentalist and one of country music’s most prolific hitmakers. He notched his first No. 1 country single, a version of George Morgan’s “Room Full of Roses,” in 1974 on Playboy Records. Another six Gilley chart-toppers followed on the label, and 10 more singles reached the pinnacle of the country chart during hia long stay at Epic Records. He placed among the top 25 country singles acts of the 1980s, according to chart authority Joel Whitburn.
But Gilley’s reach extended beyond vinyl and airwaves through his famous namesake club, Gilley’s, based in Pasadena, Texas, outside Houston. The establishment, touted as one of the world’s largest honky tonks, would introduce...

Mickey Gilley, the smooth-voiced, piano-playing country crooner who helped popularize the “Urban Cowboy” movement of the Eighties, died Saturday in Branson, Missouri. He was 86. Gilley’s publicist confirmed the singer’s death.
While Gilley had a run of success in the Seventies singing barroom-piano country ballads and rave-ups like “Room Full of Roses” and “Don’t the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time,” it was his second act in the Eighties — tied to 1980’s box-office hit Urban Cowboy — that turned the Mississippi native into a crossover star.

Mickey Gilley, a country singer and actor who was featured in the 1980 John Travolta film “Urban Cowboy,” has died. He was 86.
Gilley died Saturday in Branson, Missouri, having just played 10 shows on the road throughout April. He died peacefully with his family and close friends by his side, according to his reps in a press release. No cause of death was given.
Gilley was known for songs like “Room Full of Roses” and had a string of hits throughout the 1970s, but he found a career resurgence when he covered the soul classic “Stand by Me” and had both himself and his new recording featured in “Urban Cowboy” with Travolta, Debra Winger and Johnny Lee.
Prior to his recording career taking off, in 1971 Gilley founded Gilley’s Club, a nightclub in Pasadena, Texas, then known as the “world’s biggest honky-tonk.” “Urban Cowboy” portrayed the football field-sized club and its famous mechanical bull ride,...

The overwhelming majority of Sherlock Holmes stories are the property of the public domain, which is the reason why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic literary creation will remain one of the most heavily adapted characters across all forms of media. In the last fifteen years alone, in fact, we’ve seen countless movies and TV shows that have reinvented the legendary sleuth in a variety of genres.
On the small screen we’ve had two modern day takes on the material with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock and Johnny Lee Miller’s Elementary, two blockbusters with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role, Ian McKellen’s somber drama Mr. Holmes, Will Ferrell’s terrible comedy Holmes & Watson and most recently, Henry Cavill lending support in smash hit Enola Holmes.
Next out of the gate is Netflix series The Irregulars, which stars Henry Lloyd-Hughes as Sherlock and Royce Pierreson as Watson.

Jon Cryer’s iconic Duckie Dale from the Eighties John Hughes classic Pretty in Pink might not seem to have a lot in common with a dance hall on the fringes of Southeast Texas. But you could link one item — that leather-stringed Western bolo tie cinched loosely around Duckie’s neck — directly to a honky-tonk named Gilley’s and the movie that brought Western fashion and country music into the mainstream. This year, the 1980 John Travolta film Urban Cowboy marks its 40th anniversary.
