Country pop reached an early peak immediately following the movie "Urban Cowboy" in the early 1980s. "Urban Cowboy" was the third music-themed hit film to star John Travolta, each from a different genre; much like "Saturday Night Fever" did for disco and '"Grease" did for oldies, "Urban Cowboy" likewise popularized pop-country, helping to boost the career of Mickey Gilley in particular (whose real-life bar and music were featured in the film), along with other songs that appeared on the film's soundtrack.
