Stella Parton (July 2005)

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 2005 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 Stella Parton's quote, which she submitted to this site on Sunday 10 July 2005.

I (Sean Brady) would like to take this opportunity to say 'thank you' to Stella Parton who has made a special contribution to a unique part of this online 'celebration of a Lone Star Hero'.

'Gene Watson is the greatest interpreter of a country song of anyone in the business - past, present or possibly the future.  Anyone would be hard pressed to improve on his interpretation.  He should be studied by everyone to learn how a country song should be sung.

Gene has always been one of my favorite entertainers'.


Thank you,
Stella Parton, for your support of Gene Watson
