Lane Brody (November 2006)
Gene Watson's peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east
Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as
'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!
All of Gene's Peers who were contacted in 2006 were most gracious with
their time & words. It is here, within this special
part of gene-watson.com, that you have an opportunity to
read Lane
Brody's quote, which
she submitted to this site on Saturday 11 November 2006.
I (Sean Brady)

'I
have had the privilege of working with
Gene. It has always been a great
pleasure. Gene is so talented & so
humble that you can feel God with him &
I must also say he is truly a gentleman.
He will always be one of the great
recognisable voices of country music
with a soul that delivers timeless
performances. I love you, Gene'.
Thank you,
Lane Brody, for your support of Gene Watson.

singing was established at a very early age.
She wrote her first song, 'Through the darkness' at
the age of twelve, founded an all-girl trio while

had set out for New York, where she was discovered
by vocalist Bobby Whiteside.
Lane moved to Chicago, where she sang commercial
jingles & modelled in print for such products as
Harley Davidson motorcycles & Pabst Blue Ribbon
beer.
In 1976, she made her recording debut with the
single 'You're gonna make love to me' under the
pseudonym Lynn Niles. In 1981, Lane moved to
California, where she signed with Liberty Records &

Towards the end of 1981, Lane had a minor hit duet
with Thom Bresh titled 'When it comes to love' &
made her television acting debut in the series
'Taxi' with Danny DeVito.

song she co-wrote, the Oscar-nominated 'Over you',
which was featured in Bruce Bereford's film 'Tender
Mercies' starring Robert Duvall; the song reached
No.15 on the charts. Lane enjoyed a No.1 hit
