"The Gambler" and "Coward Of The County" are two of his greatest. They are both storytelling songs and Kenny was a master at storytelling songs. "Islands In The Stream" with Dolly Parton is another one I can't suggest enough.
Ladies more than men really loved it. That was deliberate. You know Lionel Richie as a judge on American Idol. He started with The Commodores, then went out on his own and became a living legend. Kenny called him up and asked him to write him a song for his Greatest hits album. Lionel first said no but came around and not only wrote it, he arranged and produced it and "Lady" became a cross over number one hit on both top 40 and country music charts
I have to say I get your comment about the “quieter” part of the song vs the more “immersive” tones. I would argue what makes that music swelling giving you that emotion wouldn’t be so impactful, we’re it not for those “quieter” moments that is used to build up to the music swell. Glad you enjoyed Kenny. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid in the 70’s
I'm old enough to remember Kenny Rogers and the first edition with hits like Rueben james and Ruby, don't take your love to town. Kenny has always had that incredible smooth voice but his career skyrocketed when he went more country. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada
Kenny was a great performer, some of his hits you may want to check out are: You decorated my life, The Gambler, Reuben James, Lucille, She Believes in me, and many others...RIP Kenny...
This is a classic. A monster. Lionel Richie said when recording this song Kenny thought he could do it in a couple of days. Richie told him give the project a couple of months. A billboard number one and great song
"Kenny Rogers - Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town) + Lyrics" he not only had a sultry gritty voice, he was also a great storyteller. Get your tissues ready🤧
I remember when this song was released. It is was every couples song. If you wanted to get a girl play this song. We all melted. Shon check out The Gambler. I think you might like it and Also, his duets with Dolly Pardon. Kenny is / was a huge legend in Country music. He his greatly missed! RIP Kenny.
You really need to hear him sing this with Lionel Richie. Lionel wrote this song for him and they became good friends. They are just great singing it together! 🥰
Written by the amazing Lionel Richie who is also a pianist so that probably explains the solo piano part that you're not crazy about but I find it so soft and beautiful that it works perfectly for me. Such a romantic song. 😊
Kenny Rogers can do a song real justice without any music. Pure poetry. Appreciate the vocals maximum and the music minimum. Most can’t pull it off. And this is live. No auto tune
Good job bro.. I like your reactions... Kenny is a very good singer.. Nice to see the younger generation enjoying what us older ones have for a long time
Kenny was awesome.. he did many duets with Dolly, Dotty West, Shena Easton that were beautiful. To hear hom sing Lady with Lionel live is so funny. Check it out if you get a chance. His "Goidbye" song that was released when he passed is also beautiful.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Love your honesty my friend 👍🏻 Another great song by Kenny Rogers Is 🎵Sweet music Man 🎵🎶 The original CD version Keep the good work my friend ✌️
Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton "Islands in the Stream" (Live Paradise Resort) It's been sampled into a lot of stuff you might be familiar with. The melody has also been used for a song you might be familiar with. Written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
Love seeing new faces doing reactions 😊 here some groups or singers I think you might like to check out. Beatles (of course), John lennon, Bee Gees, AC/DC, Janet Joplin, The Sherells, Buddy Holly, Journey, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Queen, a little Canadian band called The Tragically Hip, The Band. There's sooooooo many from 50's down . You'll never run short of music to listen to. 🎶 🎵✌❤🇨🇦☮ love your reactions. 😊
Kenny Rogers didn’t have any fast songs but he did have faster paced ones and a couple of his best were The Gambler & Coward of the County. When you said Lionel Ritchie you didn’t look like you were familiar with the name. If you are, you probably know him from American Idol, but he was a very big solo artist in the 80s and before that he was the lead singer of The Commodores in the 70s. You should check out some Commodores songs like Easy Like Sunday Morning, Brick House and Sail On. Also, Nightshift, which was the Commodores first song that they released after Lionel Ritchie split from the band. One more suggestion is We are The World which was a multi artist collaboration written by Lionel Ritchie & Michael Jackson and sung by the “supergroup” USA For Africa and all proceeds went to end famine in Africa. It was released in 1985 and grossed in excess of 20 million dollars.
I agree with a previous comment... Check out "The Gambler" and "Coward of the Country". Kenny was a great story teller. But for the Coward song, make sure that you listen to the full version with all three verses so that you get the full story. Sometimes, the second verse (telling about what happened to Tommy's girlfriend Becky and the Gatlin boys) is left out. The story makes a lot more sense when you hear all three verses.
That voice. Damn. I forgot how good it was. Shon...plz ignore this for 20 yrs, and then re-react. But thanks for reminding us how great KG was. Loving your reactions, mate! But Kenny... something else. ......Maybe think about Coward of the County ...live reaction video.
Slow parts look at the ladies reactions, they are like "O-O-OH!!!" The high notes everyone say "go Kenny" Up tempo parts men like " sing it KENNY " and the last line everybody is "WOW!!! Amazing "
I’m old enough that I saw this concert live on a Friday night on HBO is the early 80s. Kenny was a pimp! If you watch closely you’ll see some ladies throw their panties onto the stage.
one of the best songs ever. it's perfect and every woman on this planet would agree. check out him and Lionel singing it together. also, Ruby, don't take your love to town is my favorite Kenny Rogger's song.
Kenny amazing voice. Sorely missed. You could hear it's a Lionel Richie song through & through. Reminds me so much of The Commodores single "STILL" which was also written by their lead vocalist, LIONEL RICHIE. You should check it out as well.
R.I.P Kenny Rodgers! Always a Fan! 😢
My Lord
I forgot just how talented and smooth Kenny Rodgers is
LOVE THIS SONG ❣️❣️❣️
"The Gambler" and "Coward Of The County" are two of his greatest. They are both storytelling songs and Kenny was a master at storytelling songs. "Islands In The Stream" with Dolly Parton is another one I can't suggest enough.
Through the years is also one of his best one for sure
The beauty of the song is that they tease you with the slow shit, and then hit you with the fullness.

Silver Fox!!! My parents were always listening to Kenny. ❤ I actually saw him live with my parents probably 7 or so years ago and he was great!
"Kenny Rogers - Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town) + Lyrics" he not only had a sultry gritty voice, he was also a great storyteller. Get your tissues ready🤧

RIP Kenny. A true country music legend. There will never be another like him.

I saw him in concert years ago. He was awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed. ❤
This is the magic that brought people together in the 80's....magical times, I am blessed to have grown up during this period!

Kenny could sing the phone book and I would still totally throw myself at him. His back catalogue is fabulous.
The Gambler and Islands in the stream (with legend Dolly Parton) are classics and get everyone singing along❤ Three generations deep at every party
He has many great songs. Check out "Coward of the County" and "Ruby".

Keep the good work my friend ✌️
Coward of The County and The Gambler are 2 of his best storytelling songs.
The Bee Gees wrote Islands in the Stream for him and Dolly Parton.

I have been pregnant 11 times. Pretty sure at least 8 of those times started with this song.
♥️ Love & miss you, Hubs🕯️
Watch him with Lionel Richie. Where Lionel comes up stage from audience and ends up singing with him
I love you and your appreciation of music Mr Shon. Big love from the UK (Yorkshire)
He had a beautiful velvet voice and I love how unbiased you are on the music and singer. Listen to his song the gambler.
Loved him so much as a teen🥰
A lot of babies were conceived to this song. Was on everyone’s Valentine’s Day mix tape!

Ooh, I see you already found it! I am glad to see you appreciate Kenny's talent. In my eyes Kenny can do no wrong.
RIP Kenny Rodgers ❤ He had a great duet with Dolly Parton called Islands in the stream. Give it a listen😊

Slow parts look at the ladies reactions, they are like "O-O-OH!!!" The high notes everyone say "go Kenny" Up tempo parts men like " sing it KENNY " and the last line everybody is "WOW!!! Amazing "
I’m old enough that I saw this concert live on a Friday night on HBO is the early 80s. Kenny was a pimp! If you watch closely you’ll see some ladies throw their panties onto the stage.
Think of it like a feather slowly going over body leading up to big finish
Try any of his live duos with Dolly Parton ... they were great friends and sang together often !
This is definitely an all time love song!! Loving the channel Shon!! I have a few friends that I sent over to subscribe. Peace my brother
Appreciate you! I’m glad you enjoy, thank you family🙏🏽
one of the best songs ever. it's perfect and every woman on this planet would agree. check out him and Lionel singing it together. also, Ruby, don't take your love to town is my favorite Kenny Rogger's song.
The Gambler is a good one to hear from Kenny.❤️
You know Lionel Richie wrote this song, right?
Definitely watch the live version of this song with Kenny and Lionel singing it together.
I love this song but it has Lionel Richie written all over it.

Break it to them gently by Burton Cummings.
You know this track started many families.
This song is supposed to be a whisper. Hence the simplicity.
Lionel Richie wrote this for him.
Writen for him❤
HIS GREAT FRIEND LIONEL RITCHIE WROTE THIS FOR HIM
Ditto
Us old folks call that panty dropping song. Play it for your lady and watch. 😊❤ Next listen to him sing The Greatest please. Thanks.
Ambrosia, how much I feel.
Swag
Low & slow with a climactic finish is alright with me 😉
think of the song in this way: piano only is a whisper and the full instrumentel loud proclemation of emotion.
Commodores are great
If you want different, try Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. “Just Dropped In”. First released in 1967. Seriously Psychedelic ❤😂
Recommend Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
🔥🔥🔥🌟
You should watch him sing this with Lionel Richie..its great!
Catnip. This song is pure catnip.
Great reaction. I married my high school prom date last year after being apart for 20 years. This was our wedding song.
Try shirley bassey singing... I who have nothing.
