The
Man Behind the Music
Charlie Daniels once called Jim Owen country music's
least known superstar, and that may be true in some
cases, but he is certainly not unknown to ardent country
music fans all over the world. He is also well known in
Branson, Missouri, the Live entertainment capitol of the
world.
Jim Owen calls himself "the luckiest man in the world,"
and he means it. "I love performing, and I love to make
people laugh," he says, and that's what he does at the Doug Gabriel Theatre in
Branson. The Jim Owen Show is a favorite of the
millions that come to Branson each year. People love
Jim's offbeat sense of humor and his from-the-heart
singing style.
Many
Celebrities attend the Jim Owen Show. Here is Jim Owen
with Gene Fullmer, Middleweight boxing champion of the
60's Jim is a great
songwriter, he's starred in movies and may be the best
pure entertainer in the business. The "Best Entertainer"
statement was underscored in 1985 and again in 1987 when
Jim was named "Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year." He
starred in "Legends in Concert" at the Imperial Palace

longest "runs" in Vegas history.
