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 & it was released in 1980. It was in this year (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 the label.
Many agree that Gene Watson’s tenure with Capitol Records between 1975 &
1980 produced some exquisite country music & that these years of Gene’s
musical life are considered to be his 'glory days'.
It was at this time that Gene 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.
The label apparently felt that there was no need to invest heavily in
promoting Gene as his records were selling consistently & his concert
appearances were sell-out events.
Gene 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 American country music singles chart in 1980.
