This quote was submitted on Friday 3 May 2024.
‘Gene and I came into mainstream country music at roughly the same time.
‘Love In The Hot Afternoon‘ was always on my set list, although ‘Farewell Party‘ never sounded like Gene when I sang it.
What a set of pipes still!
Congratulations, Gene, on your amazing career’
Thank you, David Wills, for your support of Gene Watson.
About David Wills…
David Wills was born David Steinfath on Tuesday 23 October 1951 in Pulaski, Tennessee, the son of John and Roberta Steinfath.
David Wills’ talented Mom bought him his first guitar when he was 9 years old, and basically taught him how to play. As he became a teenager, David Wills started playing with local bands around Pulaski, and later earned a spot in a new rock ‘n’ roll band called Dynamic Downbeats with lifelong friend, Frank Speers.
When David Wills started high school, his Dad took a job in Huntsville, Alabama.
David Wills’ career began after he won a talent contest in Lakeland, Tennessee, right outside of Memphis.
(Wednesday 14 December 1932 – Tuesday 25 July 1995)
In 1974, two years after moving to Memphis, David Wills entered a talent contest in Southaven, Mississippi. One of the judges, Seymour ‘Sy’ Rosenberg, was a Memphis attorney who managed Charlie Rich (Wednesday 14 December 1932 – Tuesday 25 July 1995).
Seymour ‘Sy’ Rosenberg approached David Wills and offered him a recording contract, and it was at Seymour ‘Sy’ Rosenberg’s instigation that David Wills change his name.
At that point, Charlie Rich (Wednesday 14 December 1932 – Tuesday 25 July 1995) was among the most successful artists in both pop music and country music and, as part of his contract with Epic Records, Charlie Rich and Seymour ‘Sy’ Rosenberg could produce artists for the label.
In August 1974, Seymour ‘Sy’ Rosenberg and Charlie Rich (Wednesday 14 December 1932 – Tuesday 25 July 1995) brought David Wills to Nashville for recording sessions that yielded his first album, ‘Barrooms To Bedrooms’ (Epic Records, 1975), and his two Billboard Top 10 country hit singles, ‘There’s A Song On The Jukebox’ and ‘From Barrooms To Bedrooms’.
Within a few months, David Wills was playing at famous venues, such as Madison Square Garden, while touring with Charlie Rich (Wednesday 14 December 1932 – Tuesday 25 July 1995).
