Gene Watson remembers Billie Jo Spears (Friday 14 January 1938 - Wednesday 14 December 2011) from Beaumont, Texas

Gene Watson

'I wanted to be sure and remember our old friend, Billie Jo Spears, who was born on this day in Beaumont, Texas in 1937.

Her biggest hit was the 1975 'Blanket On The Ground'.

Billie Jo and I recorded a few songs together, but they were never released.

She toured the United Kingdom quite a bit, and had a great following there.

She died of cancer, aged 73, on Wednesday 14 December 2011'
