Gene Watson Leaves Behind a Fortune and a Story That Makes His Fans Cry
Gene Watson Leaves Behind a Fortune and a Story That Makes His Fans Cry He kept his auto body tools in the garage for years after becoming a star — rolled up tight, ready to use — because he genuinely didn't believe the music would last. That man is Gene Watson, a cotton-field kid from East Texas who built an $8 million fortune, a 64-year marriage, and a Grand Ole Opry membership entirely on the back of a voice that Vince Gill once called one of the greatest ever to walk the earth. By the end of this video, you'll understand why fans who've followed Watson for decades still cry when they hear what his life actually cost him — and what it gave back.
