Johnny Lee and Gene Williams on the set at KY3
The President, Eddie Murphy, John Daly and Mickey Gilley are among those included in a tribute to Johnny Lee, as Lee joined Gene Williams on the “Gene Williams Country Music Television Show” to be telecast Sept. 19 and 20.
The video covering Lee’s country music career and produced by Williams is part of the fun on the show.
“From his ‘Lookin’ for Love’ and ‘Urban Cowboy’ to his television appearances, performing on the Grand Ole Opry and induction into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and accolades from Bush, the video tells of this talented man’s amazing career,” said Williams, the star and creator of the “Gene Williams Country TV Show” which was taped live in Branson, Mo., for the past eight years and recently was moved to be taped live in the NBC affiliate KY3 Studios in Springfield, Mo., and will continue to feature the shows and stars from Branson and country music.
The next taping is Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. at the KY 3 studios, 999 W. Sunshine, and a studio audience will be welcome. Guests are Liverpool Legends from the Starlite Theatre in Branson, Mo., Melody Clemmons from the Horseshoe Bend Theater and the Music in the Mountain Show in Horseshoe Bend, Ark., and the Keatings from the Branson Star Theatre.
