RIP Kenny Rogers

[Twister]

Legendary singer dies at 81 of natural causes

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run

RIP. My father loves Kenny.

2020 has been crazy so far.

Great musician. Never cared for his Gambler character. As an aside, Barry Gibb wrote "Islands in the stream"- perhaps the greatest duet in all modern music.

Kenny Rogers was a rocker before he turned to country music, which suited him better. His rock music borrowed quite a bit from Buffalo Springfield. Not sure if he and Neil Young ever met?

RIP to the legend. Wow 2020 really sucks donkey balls so far. This was one of my Mom's fav songs she liked Kenny's rendition the best.

R.I.P Kenny. Ruby don't take your love to town was the ear worm of 1969. I remember he did a show from Toronto. Didn't know he did this... seems kind of appropriate for now.

He picked a fine time to leave us.

Awww man, used to listen to him with my Grandma when I was a wee lass. This feels like the end of an era at a time like this.

Lets not forget "Lady" ...women love this song. Written by Lionel Ritchie , but Kenny Rogers sings it much better. I'm more of a rocker but don't mind a few of his songs.

 

[superstar_88]

I just listened to Lionel's version and have to agree Kenny's is better.

RIP Kenny Rogers. Whenever I think of him, I think of him harmonizing in the first verse of the We Are The World video (fundraiser Africa 1985). Carefully cutting in, gentle with his voice, and in perfect tune.
