Born in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, with his parents Mr. & Mrs. William Gilman Jr., Gilman first received notice as a performer at age seven, attracting the attention of a local vocal coach, Angela Bacari, who later became his manager. Eventually he met with Ray Benson (of Asleep at the Wheel) who helped him record demos, including "Roly Poly". Two months later he was signed by Sony Music Nashville.
His 2000 debut album, One Voice, had a very widely-played single that crossed over well into top 40 airplay. The album reached multi-platinum status, and earned a Grammy nomination. Generally touted as a child prodigy, Gilman appeared on various talk shows. Classic Christmas (which was certified gold) was released later in the year.
He released Dare to Dream (certified gold) on Sony BMG Music Entertainment/Epic Records in 2001, and in 2003 released Music Through Heartsongs, an album inspired by the poetry of Mattie Stepanek. Later in 2003, he performed at a benefit for The Station nightclub fire. In May 2005, he released Everything and More, his first album since his voice changed.
Billy's latest album, self-titled, was released in September 2006 on the Image Entertainment label. The first single off the upcoming album, Southern Star, heralds a return to his country music roots. Billy is scheduled to begin working on his next album with Eddie Galan and Andrew Lane of Trilogy Productions.
She
Billy Gilman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby, she ain't even carin'
And they're crazy if they think I'm sharin'
Cause I know what they're after
And nobody else can have her 'cause she's
My girl, a walkin' talkin' angel baby
My girl, not a minute goes by when she ain't looking pretty
God never made another in this world
Quite like my girl
Oh, oh, quite like my girl
Her eyes are shining like big blue diamonds
It's a cuckoo kind of love, ain't no denying
When I kiss her lips, I feel like flying
Man, she's something else
And I've got her all to myself 'cause she's
My girl, a walkin' talkin' angel baby
My girl, not a minute goes by when she ain't looking pretty
My girl, a twenty four-seven piece of heaven
God never made another in this world
Quite like my girl
The way she moves, the way she grooves
You know she drives me wild with her wild-child smile
Planets align when she's holdin' me tight
Blowing my mind, it's such a rush
I can't get enough
My girl, a walkin' talkin' angel baby
My girl, not a minute goes by when she ain't looking pretty
My girl, a twenty four-seven piece of heaven
God never made another in this world
Quite like my girl
Oh oh, quite like my girl
Oh yeah, she's lookin' pretty
My girl, a walkin' talkin' angel baby
My girl
My girl, a walkin' talkin' angel baby
My girl

I still have no regrets purchasing all the leftover out of print dare to dream cds from amazon. This album was so underrated. I'm reminded again and again why I did it with music this good. A true piece of nostalgia from my moody rebellious pre teen days.❤
