Paul Overstreet
This quote was submitted on Thursday 6 August 2009.

'Gene Watson has always been one of my favourite singers in country music.

I first heard him on the radio when I was in Mississippi.  My brother-in-law was so crazy about Gene I had to pay attention.

What a great voice, so smooth I could listen to his music all day and not get tired of hearing him sing'.

Thank you, Paul Overstreet, for your support of Gene Watson.

About Paul Overstreet...

Paul Overstreet was born on Thursday 17 March 1955 in Newton, Mississippi and is a highly acclaimed singer and songwriter.

After graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, Paul Overstreet moved from the bayous of Mississippi to Nashville, the country music capitol of the world.  Not owning a suitcase, he brought with him a laundry basket of Levis and football jerseys, ten original songs and a guitar.

Paul packed them in a 1968 Ford Fairlane with lots of dreams of how great it was all going to be when he finally got to Nashville.  It was a long, hard road, but the dream of writing songs and making records was so big that the toughest roads weren't going to stop him.  After sleeping in his car and eating potato salad sandwiches for a while, Paul Overstreet got a job at a water heater factory.

As a songwriter, Paul Overstreet has written and co-written twenty-seven Billboard country music Top 10 songs, his first being 'Same Ole Me', which George Jones recorded in 1981 and included on 'Still The Same Ole Me' (Epic Records, 1981); when released as a single, 'Same Ole Me' (featuring back-up vocals from The Oak Ridge Boys) reached No.5 on the Billboard country music singles chart in the spring of 1982.

It was also in 1982 that Paul Overstreet achieved his first charting Billboard single, when 'Beautiful Baby' climbed to No.76; the track was included on 'Paul Overstreet' (RCA Victor, 1982), his self-titled debut album.

Three years later, in 1985, The Forrester Sisters recorded Paul Overstreet's 'I Fell In Love Again Last Night' (co-written with Thom Schuyler); the track was No.1 on the Billboard country music singles chart for one week in September 1985.

Following the release of Randy Travis' '1982', which reached No.6 on the Billboard country music singles chart in early 1986 and which took Randy Travis to stardom, Warner Bros. Records re-released 'On The Other Hand'.  On this occasion, the single debuted at No.64 (higher than before) and eventually reached No.1; the track was No.1 on the Billboard country music singles chart for one week in July/August 1986.
