About 'No One Will Ever Know'...

Overview
'Gene Watson's 'No One Will Ever Know' was the final album that he recorded for Capitol Records and it was released in 1980.

It was in 1980 that Gene celebrated five years with the label, having enjoyed his first hit with Capitol Records, 'Love In The Hot Afternoon', in July 1975. This track was, of course, the title track of Gene's debut album for Capitol Records in 1975.

Many agree that Gene Watson’s tenure with Capitol Records between 1975 and 1980 produced some exquisite country music and that these years of Gene’s musical life are considered to be his 'glory days'.

It was at this time that Gene Watson felt his latter recordings for the label could have attained a higher chart position than they did had Capitol Records promoted them adequately. Gene also felt aggrieved that Capitol Records appeared to be unwilling to properly promote him the way he felt they should have been.

Capitol Records apparently felt that there was no need to invest heavily in promoting Gene as his records were selling consistently and his concert appearances were sell-out events.

Gene Watson was so annoyed at the attitude of Capitol Records that he was simply uninterested as to what the label called his last album. As it turned out, the album was titled 'No One Will Ever Know', the title track of which only achieved Top 20 status on the Billboard country music singles chart in 1980'.

'No One Will Ever Know' was produced by Russ Reeder.
'No One Will Ever Know' was recorded and mixed at the Clement Recording Studios in Nashville (Engineer: Jim Williamson) and was mastered at Capitol Records in Hollywood.

'No One Will Ever Know' achieved a chart position of No.45 on the Billboard Country Music Album Chart in 1980.
