Kenny asked Linole Richie to write him a song… this song was the result . Kenny was the original artist. There is also live video where Linoel came on stage and they stung it together. A masterpiece for sure. RIP Kenny, we miss you!
I got to see Kenny Rogers live in concert. He has such a great sense of humor and he's such a sweet guy. Absolutely love his music!! Songs by Kenny Rogers that you should check out.... Coward of the county The greatest The Gambler You decorated my life Lucille She believes in me... You can't go wrong with any song by Kenny Rogers! ❤❤❤
So this is going to sound weird.. but you need to listen to this song two more times, even if it is just for you. It's been around forever and there are three performances of it that take you through the emotions of the life of this song. You have watched the first. The second is Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie Lady. (It was for a tribute to Lionel and he and Kenny were great friends.) This version will make you smile and happy and is everything about these two. The third... is hard to find but if you can, it's Lionel's performance of Lady at the 2021 Grammy's after Kenny passed away. All three are poignant and beautiful and touch your heart in different ways. Great job.
Yes, I love Kenny!!!! One of the best artists ever. He doesn't need lights, dancers, and all that stuff because he can Sang!!! I grew up listening to him. Some of my best childhood memories is just hanging out with my parents and sisters while we listened to Kenny and sang with him. 😁❤
The Man, The Legend Kenny Rogers. Another beautiful song is Through the Years. Beautiful song for wedding anniversaries. RIP Kenny we love you and will never forget you!
RIP Kenny Rogers... I saw him in concert 5 times back in the 80s and 90s. 2 times at the Omni in Atlanta.. his guest for one was Dolly Parton,. And the other time was Dottie West. I saw him 3 times at the Fox theater in Atlanta where he used to do special Christmas shows. Every time was a wonderful show, and you are correct, he didn't need flashy sets and gimmicks, just his wonderful voice and sense of humor.😍
My late husband used to sing this to me. He was only 47 when he passed away. It’s been 24 years and I still miss him. I saw him live in 1980, I think. It was a concert in Mississippi at a college. He was wonderful! Dottie West was there too and they sang together.
Goodness! He never lost that voice! NEVER! He did a collaboration with Home Free "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and good God Almighty, it was beautiful!!! His voice...just WOW!!!🤗❤
I saw Kenny in Savannah, Georgia back when I was about 30 and I am 64 now his live performance was off the chain I remember when he first become famous when he was with the First Addition, kind of a Rock/Folk band. He was to me the greatest along with George Strait. You really need to listen to his Greatest hit..
What you just said is how I feel about good country music. Our legends don't depend on technology, fireworks, and naked dancers all over the stage.....just them and their incredible voices.
I saw him in concert once but I have a funny story. I was in an Italian restaurant in Toronto Canada with a group of woman. We got together before the concert to have dinner. A white stretch limousine pulled up and Kenny Rogers got out. He was also having dinner there. He walked in and when he saw us he stopped to say hello and asked if we were going to the concert. He was happy to hear we were and he was so lovely. I will never forget that, a gentleman through and through!!!!!!
Love this song. I recently saw a documentary or interview about Kenny and Lionel Richie was interviewed. I never realized how deep their friendship was. Lionel said when he came up with the Idea for USA got Africa “We Are the World”, Kenny was either the first (or one of the first) he contacted. He made a point of saying something about that’s why Kenny is close to the beginning of the song. May Kenny Rogers RIP. If you haven’t done “Islands in the Stream”, with Kenny and Dolly Parton, you should. They, also, had a special friendship. I had to chuckle when you mentioned spouses singing this song. I’ve been married 47 years and never once has my husband serenaded me. If he did it now, I would know something was up. LOL
Kenny was a wonderful entertainer, he had a lovely presence and didn't have to try to get every woman within earshot to crush on him. If you haven't already done so, please check out Kenny Rogers with Home Free's version of Children, Go Where I Send Thee.
Do yourself a favor & find the performance he does of this song, with Lionel at a CMT awards show, not long before Kenny passed away. To see these men show their friendship & love, along with the gift of their voices, is a beautiful thing to see. Kenny has some great duets with Dolly Parton & a ton of his own hits.
Wow ... your comment about seeing Kenny live. I got to see him as my 16th birthday and that is nearly 50 years ago. It was fantastic.. best ever Kenny songs, that apart from his top songs lady, gambler etc. The greatest, you decorated my life, she believes in me and Ruben james are a few more good ones of his.
Ahhhhh...Kenny. He could sing the alphabet and I would have loved 😍 💕 it. I had a crush on him since the early 70s when he sang with the First Edition. Anything he sang was gold..pure gold. He was handsome and talented.
There is a video out there of Kenny when he invites Lionel Richie to come up and sing with him. Check it out and you will see what great friendship is all about. You won't stop smiling. He also tells the story of how the song was written. Hilarious
Love Kenny Rogers music from when he was with the First Edition (60's-70's) to his solo career. He was a great story teller in many of his songs like "Coward Of The County" & "The Gambler". He had so many hits "Lucille", "Through the Years", "She Believes In Me", "You & I" (written by the Bee Gees) etc. He did a lot of duets such as with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer", with Sheena Easton "We've Got Tonight" & with Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream". He also did quite a few duets with Dottie West.
Kenny started out his career with a band called the "First Edition" A totally different song than you have ever heard from Kenny was a song called "I Just Dropped in" If you watch the video, pay special attention to the drummer. You have seen him in many movies and TV shows.
I met him back in 1995... a friend took me to his show in Tampa, FL and we got to watch the entire show from back stage with his family... He definitely has fun during his show.. they throw frisbees, t shirts, etc ...he was a wonderful man and surely is missed...
I was blessed to see him live in concert 4 times...with the Righteous Brothers, Dolly Parton x 2 and also Dotty West! He sounded exactly the same or better LIVE than on an album! I saw him in various cities in Florida. When I saw him sing Lady in concert the 1st time he was married to his wife Marianne. He played a film while he sang it of him and her and then her giving birth to their son Christopher!! Not a dry eye in the house!! However, when performed with Dolly was always my favorite! They were such good friends and had so much fun on stage...cracking jokes, etc. They were electric together on stage!!😘😍
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” is an absolute must and you must find a live version. Then you can see why they were such great duet partners. They feed off each other. Their friendship was unlike anything else. Still there are rumors that there was something between them which they both deny. Another great duet from them is “You Can’t Make Old Friends”
Every time this was played on the radio my husband used to sing this to me. He had a beautiful voice and I would just sit back and let it wash over me. Put a smile on my face everytime. Unfortunately I lost him in 2020 but whenever I hear this song it brings back wonderful memories. Thank you for reacting to it.
Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, until 1970 billed as The First Edition, were an American rock band. The band's style was difficult to singularly classify, as it incorporated elements of country, rock and psychedelic pop.[3] Its stalwart members were Kenny Rogers (lead vocals and bass guitar), Mickey Jones (drums and percussion) and Terry Williams (guitar and vocals). The band formed in 1967, with folk musician Mike Settle (guitar and backing vocals) and the operatically trained Thelma Camacho (lead vocals) completing the lineup.[citation needed]
First record my parents ever bought me when I was about 12 was Kenny Rogers & the First Edition, "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In). 45 rpm record. Wore that thing out. That was when he was in a rock band before he crossed over to country.
OMGoodness!!! Amongst the top ten concerts I’ve ever attended. Yes, it was in 1981 and Kenny sang Lady. Lee Greenwood sang his timeless, “Proud to be an American.” My first intro to country music and I so loved it. So sorry I did not pursue it with a passion at that time but now I’m so addicted to all things country. Please listen to Kenny’s songs, “She believes in me” and “The Greatest.”
One of the most romantic songs ever written. Greatest collaboration with Lionel Ritchie writing this song and Kenny's raw delivery of a masterpiece. One of those songs you always turn up. Great reaction Craig. Glad we didn't see any tears from you when Kenny reved it up at the end. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I saw Kenny Rogers perform in Wyoming at Cheyenne frontier days in the 1970s! He was on a portable stage and the rain was pouring down in torrents! They wanted to shut the show down until Kenny came on stage in a yellow rain slicker… He said I’m not afraid of a little rain and these people came to see a show!! And boy did he sing!!! Talk about true grit!! Love him to this day!!
We saw Kenny Rodgers at the state fair in the 80s. He was awesome! It was an awesome week of performers. Kenny Rodgers, Crystal Gayle, Eddie Rabbit and Bob Seger!
Love Kenny! He and Dolly have some of the best onstage chemistry (they were great friends). Also, there is a great video where Kenny is honoring Lionel Richie and tells a funny story about how he got Lionel to write this song. Then Lionel comes up on stage, and they sing this song together. It was awesome! Highly recommend.
Rest in Heavenly Peace Kenny Rogers...you have given us the great and wonderful gift of your music and voice. You have helped create so many beautiful memories for me.
Saw him in Augusta Maine in the 80's. what really surprised me was that he was so down to earth. My sister caught a tambourine that he threw into the audience. Powerful and beautiful singer.
HUGE hit for- geez, decades?! Back when dedications on ghe radio people called in- this song. Weddings- this song. Prom night fall in love- this song. Say your sorry- these lyrics- it crossed genres and it still just so real so deep.
One of the best concerts I ever went to. I took my mom and it was just the perfect concert for that. Kenny was popular with all ages! It was at the University of Tennessee in the basketball center and it was done in the round. It was in the 80's and the opening act was Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers who were an excellent country group. An enjoyable evening I hated to have end.
I saw Kenny live in concert on Saturday, March 3, 1990, at the Florida Suncoast Dome in St. Petersburg, Florida. I was 17 and infatuated with Hard Rock bands like Guns n' Roses, Skid Row, Aerosmith, etc., but my aunt had free tickets so I went along. Funny thing is that I knew some of his songs from my mom playing the radio a lot at home but was still amazed at how many I could sing along with. Like you said, there was little fanfare or light show but he didn't need it. I ended up having a great time at that concert and enjoyed seeing my mom and aunt smiling through the entire concert. They knew all of his songs! Fast forward a few years and I was signed up for this program through Columbia House where they'd mail me lists of cds and I'd get a huge discount if I purchased some. One of the first batches of cds I ordered from them was Kenny's greatest hits which I now play in the car for my son's to enjoy his music. If they don't quite enjoy it now, someday they will.
I goofed earlier when I said Kenny Rogers sang with 5th Dimension. He sang with 1st Edition. The 60’s was a long time ago & my husband was in the US Marines during the Viet Nam era. My brain was full of other things back then (ha).
I was at this concert with my mom at age 12- they were taping it for hbo and although they cut it, I gave him a rose onstage as soon as the song ended. I’ll never forget it and I’m 54 now!
The look on your face as you were listening--as if you were thinking of someone special--as you heard the words, was adorable. You were truly 'feeling' this song. Thanks for sharing.
Ah, can't help it! Kenny: "You Decorated My Life," "Through the Years," "Lucille," a duet with Sheena Easton: "We've Got Tonight," Bob Seger sang, too, but not a duet. I.know you reacted to it performed live with Dolly in Sheena's place...very good, huh?. "My Love," "She Believes in Me," "Buy Me a Rose," "You Can't Make Old Friends" with Dolly, "Love Will Turn Around," good one!, did you do "Islands in the Stream,?" Probably! Good stuff! Duet with Anne Murray, "If I Ever Fall Again." Enjoy as usual!
@@carol.luna.stella Well, you are very welcome! Have a nice day! He was married for a while to a Hee Haw member...one of the pretty girls, of course. He also had, I think, an Arabian horse farm. Ever eaten at Kenny Roger's Roasters? I did 35 years ago when they were all over the NJ turnpike. Funny Seinfeld episode! "Vile weed!," as Newnan called broccoli - ha ha.
Thank you for playing this. Kenny Rogers was a great and talented performer and actor. Please react to his song The Greatest. It is different from Lady but also one of my favorites of his.
Try...The Last Ten Years..by Kenny Rogers!!! Great song & it so applies to today also!! Also I am the Greatest!! Another good one is... I am the Greatest! 💜🤠
I saw him two times in the 80's. Once with he and Dolly Parton and once solo. Yes he sang this song and yes it was so amazing that I cried! Love your channel, you react to many of my all time favorites!
My fiancé took me to a Kenny Rogers concert and it was amazing. His voice filled the arena and was so much more incredible in person. I have not heard a recording that did him justice.
You really need to look up the video where he calls Lionel Ritchie up from the audience after telling the story of how LR came to finish writing this song in the bathroom! It’s hilarious. Watching 4-16-2024, Wittmann, AZ, USA 🇺🇸
I saw him once in Los Angeles in the '80s. Kim Carnes sang with him. We were on the third or fourth row and the opening act was Gallagher (a comedian who smashed watermelons with a sledgehammer). Kenny Rogers was amazing.
yes I love Kenny's song's. seen him many times. Lucille come out the time my brothers wife died. it was her name as well. and if was left with 4 kids. please listen to it.
One day my hubby will sing to me. He has a very masculine voice....brother in law a singer and father in law an Elvis impersonator. His shower singing is the best❤️❤️❤️
I went to a Kenny Rogers concert in Chattanooga TN back in the early 80’s. He was the first performer at a new arena that had just been built. I’m not even sure he had recorded this song yet.
Great reaction to one of the best singers❤ I really like the songs from Kenny Rogers and The First Edition; Just Dropped In, Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town, and But You Know I Love You.
Kenny asked Linole Richie to write him a song… this song was the result . Kenny was the original artist. There is also live video where Linoel came on stage and they stung it together. A masterpiece for sure. RIP Kenny, we miss you!
I love that video!
the world lost a true treasure when he passed away..beautiful song beautiful singer..my favorite Kenny Rogers song
I got to see Kenny Rogers live in concert. He has such a great sense of humor and he's such a sweet guy. Absolutely love his music!!

The late Kenny Rogers was the best. He could belt out a song so easily. Love your reaction.
Yes, I love Kenny!!!! One of the best artists ever. He doesn't need lights, dancers, and all that stuff because he can Sang!!! I grew up listening to him. Some of my best childhood memories is just hanging out with my parents and sisters while we listened to Kenny and sang with him. 😁❤
We ladies love Kenny Rogers. At this point in time he was everything.
He has a long list of songs that are wonderful.

Kenny Rogers had a great voice and he really knew how to use it! He was also a wonderful performer.
We saw him in concert with Dolly Parton in Austin, Texas in 1984… as you would guess it was amazing!!!
Song was written by Lionel Richie, his best friend. Also a great singer songwriter. Love Kenny. R.I.P
Was fortunate to see him perform several times. No one like Kenny. Always a good show!
I saw him in concert once but I have a funny story. I was in an Italian restaurant in Toronto Canada with a group of woman. We got together before the concert to have dinner.

@@bonnielambert6315 "Just Dropped in" was the name of the song, What Condition.............................. were part of the lyrics.
My bad, u r ✅ also auto correct
Don't TAKE your love to town
@@bgallagher8129 However, the name of the song on my old record is "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In). :)
This was a song my husband sang to me….always makes me teary. Along with Through The Years 🥲
You need to do a reaction to Kenny and Lionel singing the song together. It shows there close friendships.
I met him back in 1995... a friend took me to his show in Tampa, FL and we got to watch the entire show from back stage with his family... He definitely has fun during his show.. they throw frisbees, t shirts, etc ...he was a wonderful man and surely is missed...

I totally agree!! There are multiple live performances of this song, even a performance right before he passed. Please do this reaction!
Yes wonderful song!!!… but wrote by The Bee Gees… so the chance that he’s heard it is high.
Oh I love this duet! One of the very best!
A favorite song.
Love his gravelly voice.
Still can't believe he's gone. He left us such a great gift in his music ♥️
You should check out his song " Through the years". I sang this one at my grandparents 50th anniversary party back in the 80s.
I love Kenny! And this is my favorite song.
Every time this was played on the radio my husband used to sing this to me. He had a beautiful voice and I would just sit back and let it wash over me. Put a smile on my face everytime. Unfortunately I lost him in 2020 but whenever I hear this song it brings back wonderful memories. Thank you for reacting to it.

I am impressed by your reactions and comments to Kenny Rodgers "Lady"❤❤
You must see some of the duets he has done . My favorite is with Kim Carnes--Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer. She wrote the song.

Simple and Beautiful. You should check out "Ruby". To me it's a very sad song and more rock than country, but Kenny Rogers often blurred those lines.
Besides being a Legend, he was one of the nicest men in the business. Supportive of all artists and beloved by all. RIP 🙏
Kenny was my first concert in 1977 I was 7. He's such a great artist/ actor! You can't go wrong with his music!
Love Kenny! He and Dolly have some of the best onstage chemistry (they were great friends). Also, there is a great video where Kenny is honoring Lionel Richie and tells a funny story about how he got Lionel to write this song. Then Lionel comes up on stage, and they sing this song together. It was awesome! Highly recommend.
Rest in Heavenly Peace Kenny Rogers...you have given us the great and wonderful gift of your music and voice. You have helped create so many beautiful memories for me.
Kenny has always been one of my favorite , First professel concerts
Kenny Rodgers was a great actor as well, give the movie 6pack a watch!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Loved that movie! Lol

One of my favourite KR songs ❤️His voice is sublime.
Through The Years is another beautiful song!
Very good song.
I saw him perform this live almost 40 yrs.ago this become my and my son's fathers song
The look on your face as you were listening--as if you were thinking of someone special--as you heard the words, was adorable. You were truly 'feeling' this song. Thanks for sharing.
When it came out it was use for weddings and ,anniversaries . Lovely touching song.
My wife of 35 years passed away 3 months ago. Put this song into that context, new meaning for me.
Kenny Rodgers brought the countrypolitan sound to country.
Ah, can't help it! Kenny: "You Decorated My Life," "Through the Years," "Lucille," a duet with Sheena Easton: "We've Got Tonight," Bob Seger sang, too, but not a duet.
I.know you reacted to it performed live with Dolly in Sheena's place...very good, huh?. "My Love," "She Believes in Me," "Buy Me a Rose," "You Can't Make Old Friends" with Dolly, "Love Will Turn Around," good one!, did you do "Islands in the Stream,?" Probably! Good stuff! Duet with Anne Murray, "If I Ever Fall Again." Enjoy as usual!
Thanks for your list Kelly, I'm already looking them all up
@@carol.luna.stella Well, you are very welcome! Have a nice day! He was married for a while to a Hee Haw member...one of the pretty girls, of course. He also had, I think, an Arabian horse farm. Ever eaten at Kenny Roger's Roasters? I did 35 years ago when they were all over the NJ turnpike. Funny Seinfeld episode! "Vile weed!," as Newnan called broccoli - ha ha.
Thank you for playing this. Kenny Rogers was a great and talented performer and actor. Please react to his song The Greatest. It is different from Lady but also one of my favorites of his.
Try...The Last Ten Years..by Kenny Rogers!!! Great song & it so applies to today also!! Also I am the Greatest!! Another good one is... I am the Greatest! 💜🤠
Miss you Kenny.
Thanks for this. Best wishes to you and yours.
Love this song one of the most romantic songs ever. Ty u understand the song
Kenny Rogers is perfect rabbit whole to explore. That smooth raspy voice. You can't go wrong with him.
I saw him two times in the 80's. Once with he and Dolly Parton and once solo. Yes he sang this song and yes it was so amazing that I cried! Love your channel, you react to many of my all time favorites!
Best Kenny song ever ❤
My fiancé took me to a Kenny Rogers concert and it was amazing. His voice filled the arena and was so much more incredible in person. I have not heard a recording that did him justice.
Summer 1982. He opened with Love the World Away. I have heard quite a few singers and Kenny is the one who whose voice just blew me away in person.
You really need to look up the video where he calls Lionel Ritchie up from the audience after telling the story of how LR came to finish writing this song in the bathroom! It’s hilarious. Watching 4-16-2024, Wittmann, AZ, USA 🇺🇸
This song along with Lionel Richie on a tribute concert is even more amazing.. ;)
I saw him once in Los Angeles in the '80s. Kim Carnes sang with him. We were on the third or fourth row and the opening act was Gallagher (a comedian who smashed watermelons with a sledgehammer).
Kenny Rogers was amazing.
yes I love Kenny's song's. seen him many times. Lucille come out the time my brothers wife died. it was her name as well. and if was left with 4 kids. please listen to it.
Oh man! You have to check out Lionel and Kenny singing this. You can see the love they have for each other.
We played this for our wedding. I walked down the aisle to this.
Kenny and Lionel Richie sang this live together it was magical
One day my hubby will sing to me. He has a very masculine voice....brother in law a singer and father in law an Elvis impersonator. His shower singing is the best❤️❤️❤️
I saw him in Spokane WA. He was singing in a casino there and it was fantastic. Something I will never forget.
Beautiful reaction. RIP.
I saw him live when our high-school took a trip to a show. It was in Oklahoma in 1970. It was amazing. He was with the first edition at the time.
You absolutely have to see the Kenny and Lionel version.
Great choice of song sir 👌 👍
I saw Kenny in Dallas back in the early 80s. He was wonderful!
I went to a Kenny Rogers concert in Chattanooga TN back in the early 80’s. He was the first performer at a new arena that had just been built. I’m not even sure he had recorded this song yet.
Loved your reaction! The best description for Kenny is World Class! RIP Kenny! ❤❤❤
Great choice craig.....he's a legend for a reason😘👍
Great reaction to one of the best singers❤
I really like the songs from Kenny Rogers and The First Edition; Just Dropped In, Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town, and But You Know I Love You.
Through the Years is another beautiful one by Kenny.
