Mickey Gilley - You Look So Good In Love

You George Strait fans should enjoy this. Oddly enough, both versions were from albums that were out at the same time. Mickey's version was not a single, but it sounds just like George's! This version was released on Mickey's album "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" in late 1983. Maybe they should have tried this as a single, as the album only had one charted hit.

Listening to this version really shows why George Strait is a superstar. Gilley does a good job of singing this, but he doesn't have the same emotional intensity as Strait.

George always manages to get the feeling of the song accross without losing his cool.

Mickey Gilley did a GREAT job on this song, but I still Like George Strait's version better.

Mickey was a country champagne singer. His music is so soothing and good feeling.

@dragknuckle I second...Gilley makes this feel like a soft 80's love song, especially with the background vocals. George, especially with the Texas sound, makes it sound much more genuine, like he was speaking to you. I would've never had known Mickey did this (probably before George), because George makes it sound like his own.

I never knew Mickey Gilley did a version of this. Good find.

Mickey is a bar room singer straight up. Hence why his version is different than George's. Mickey is more Honky Tonk Country where as George is Traditional Country.

I take notice that Mickey Gilley didn't have the speaking part like George Strait's version did.
