William Harold "Billy" Dean, Jr. (born April 2, 1962, in Quincy, Florida) is an American country music singer and songwriter. Billy Dean first gained national attention after appearing on the television talent competition Star Search. Active as a recording artist since 1990, he has recorded a total of eight studio albums (of which the first three have been certified gold by the RIAA) and a greatest hits package which is also certified gold. His studio albums have accounted for more than twenty hit singles on the Billboard country charts, including eleven Top Ten hits. Although he never reached the top of the Billboard country charts on his own, he reached Number One in 2000 as one of two guest vocalists on Kenny Rogers' "Buy Me a Rose", and had two Number Ones on the RPM country charts in Canada. He resides in Liberty, Tennessee.
Biography
Dean was born in Quincy, Florida, on April 2, 1962. His father, also known as Billy Dean, maintained a band called The Country Rock in his spare time, and by the time he was eight, Dean began playing in his father's band. Throughout high school, at Robert F. Munroe Day School, he continued to play music, both in his father's band and with other local musicians. He soon began touring in local clubs, and sang Frank Sinatra's "My Way" at his high school graduation.
Billy Dean is the second studio album by American country music artist Billy Dean, released in 1991 by Capitol Records. Like his debut album Young Man, it was certified gold by the RIAA. "You Don't Count the Cost", "Only the Wind", "Billy the Kid" and "If There Hadn't Been You". "If There Hadn't Been You" was the highest-peaking of these, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts; all the other singles reached #4 on the same chart.
"I'm a Fool" is a short story by American writer Sherwood Anderson. It was first published in the February 1922 issue of The Dial (followed the next month by the London Mercury), and later, in 1923 as the first story in Anderson's short-story collection Horses and Men. Of that collection, William Faulkner wrote that "...I think, next to Heart of Darkness by Conrad that the first story, 'I'm a Fool,' is the best short story I ever read."
The story is narrated in first person point of view and the setting is Ohio, where Sherwood Anderson was born.
In 1977, Noel Black made a 38-minute movie based on Anderson's story, keeping its title i.e. "I'm a Fool". In this movie, Ron Howard starred as the groom and Amy Irving played the role of the pretty girl Miss Lucy Wessen.

Billy Dean - By My Song ( + lyrics 1998)
From the album 'Real Men'. Written by Billy Dean and Richard Leigh. No copyright infringement is intended. This is probably a special song for many and I am no exception. Along with 'Voices Singing' it formed part of my 1998 cassette in a tribute to my mother who died in the September of that year. Just wanted to post this truly song brilliantly played and sung by Billy Dean.

Who Am I? (Words music by R. Goodman) When I think of how He came so far from glory Came to dwell among the lowly such as I To suffer shame and such disgrace On Mount Calvary take my place Then I ask myself this question Who am I? Who am I that The King would bleed and die for? Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thine Lord? The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so That to an old rugged cross He'd go For who am I? When I'm reminded of His words I'll leave you never If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever Oh I wonder what I could have done To deserve God's only Son To fight my battles until they're won For who am I? Who am I that The King would bleed and die for Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thine Lord The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so That to an old rugged cross He'd go For who am I? That to an old rugged cross He'd go, for who am I?
