Gene Watson leaves body shop for country music success
Nashville based Gene Watson, a Houston native, quit 12 years at a Houston body shop in 1975 to pursue music full time. He captures Top 10 hits such as Love in the Hot Afternoon and Paper Rosie while touring with a two piece band. Watson cites Merle Haggard as his influence and stresses he records his own material. He notes his aim is pure country and does not seek a crossover pop hit.
