I'm getting old...I remember Kenny first as the lead guy in the First Edition. We lost an icon RIP Kenny
Don't feel bad Ron. I'm with ya, and I still love all the old rock in roll of that era...The First Edition wasn't the hard Rock in Roll of the Vietnam Era that I usually loved and my dad hated for me to listen to. I don't know what he hated so much, since he was a Korean and a Vietnam Veteran. I think it was that I was his only daughter loved it, and the guys with long "hippy" hair! :)
RIP Kenny Rogers . Such a gifted entertainer & will be Very missed .Praying for his family.......
another really great singer gone but won,t be forgotten
I had no idea this band existed. Yes, I know about Kenny Rogers! This is freaking spectacular.
The First Edition was made up of not only superb performers. But also very nice people, I've had the great fortune to be invited and to meet Terry, Mary, Mickey, Gene Lorenzo, Thelma Camacho and Mike Settle at Terry's house for a First Edition reunion. I'm going again in September. Last year they did a little concert for everyone. This year their going to private concert for us focusing on songs from the Ballad of Calico. They still sound great.
I'm very fascinated by this documentary. I was 2 years old in 1972 when this was made so this is like peering into a vortex to see a different world. I have become very interested in The First Edition. I had an 8 track tape of them in the mid 70s when I was 4 and 5 years old. I'm now reintroduced to them and I've been doing a major 'deep dive' into their career...streaming every album both here on TH-cam and Spotify and reading everything I can find about them on the internet....I'm going to be watching this documentary more and more...I really love their chemistry and interaction with each other. I find it to be a shame that Kenny went solo....It put an end to a very interesting group. Thankful this is on the internet.
Rest in love friend, thank you for sharing your art💙🦋🌎🙏🏽🌈🙏🏽🌎🦋💙
Wonder how many of these fine musicians are still with us?Mary was stunning!
What a huge loss in country music.
Very talented individuals. As a group, they rock.
These guys and solo Kenny, have been signing to me my whole life.
The Ballad of Calico.
I know every word to every song. Have since I was a young girl.
Without a doubt a legend in music.
The First Edition were my all time favourite group back in their day. I grew up outside of Montreal, Quebec and looked forward every week to see Rollin on our CTV Channel. Such wonderful talent and music. Got to meet them at a concert in Vermont in 1974. Bought all their albums. Calico, by far, my favourite. Such incredible talent - their music is timeless. Thank you for uploading these pieces. Please pass along to Terry, Calico was and is MAGICAL. !!!!! Would love to see it digitally remastered - a treasure of work. Would love to share now with my daughter, who is a classical musician.
I loved Kenny Rogers. I was in all my glory as a very young woman and in 1980 I got to sit front row Center at Kenny's concert out in CA. He had just gone solo. I am now reading a book on Kenny Rogers. He will/is missed even though it has only been a few months since his passing.
The song when I became a lifetime Kenny fan. Was a teenager who cruisedthe strand at beach radio full blast with this song playing
Their version of "I Believe in Music" was on their first "Greatest Hits" album, only. It's hard to find now.
If my son would grow his hair out he would look just like Kenny Rogers. I never noticed that until today.
Of you can get him to sing like Kenny......that would be good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL
Thank you for sharing. Brings back memories of a concert I saw them at in 1973. They were excellent and very tight as a group. One of the best in their time.
A great doco, fun times on the road. They seemed to be great friends.
36:19 What a beautiful voice. RIP Kenny
Wow ! THEY ARE ALL SO GREAT !
You will be missed! Rest In Peace, Kenny 💙
I like the brother face who threw up the peace fingers. He was in that for a good minute too
RIP Kenny.
It was October 1970, at Western Carolina University. The "First Edition" had just performed a wonderful concert. I had no idea who the man I was standing next to was or who he would become. I should have gotten His autograph. At 54:54 The camera man gave me full face coverage and stayed on me for almost a minute. I have no idea why he did but I can see myself at age 17 on You Tube any time I like. Magical. Visit me at Boshentang.
That's awesome 😊👍🏻
It's wierd isn't it? lm on a video too in same way but I'm only 32 and I'm on video when I was like 26. we are "etched" in digital time forever!!!
+90thMeridian I was 17 at the time, I'm now 63. Immortalized on you tube, Wow! I posted videos of myself doing music when I was in my late forties here at my account. Lewd and lascivious @ Cafe Creole is one of them. I'll be on here long after I'm gone.
that is a wonderful legacy and a neat story.
I Envy you!
Very good band.
Esse grupo dê jovens puros lindos eu amo não se encontra mais 🌟
People would go nuts if they saw the "Rebel" flag on a vehicle,,now! They don't realize what it truly means to "Southerners".
Wow! that´s wonderful. Thanks for sharing it. I´d like to complete The First Edition songs/albums, can anyone help me?
Russell was my uncle, but I never met him. His sons (my cousins) are like brothers to me though. He (Russell) passed away a few years ago; actually maybe like 10 years ago. My aunt sang with The Back Porch Majority. She passed in 2012.
Saw them in nz,72/73'.?
I only knew Mickey Jones from Home Improvement. RIP Mickey.
@44:06 Whoa! $35 was a big food bill back then, lol!
Did any of the other ones in the group go on to have a success career in music?
Bet that a lot of people don't realize who their drummer became in later years.I Ain't gonna tell.lol🐸🐸🐸🐸
Is there any way to get a DVD copy of this? That's my dad on keys and I'd love to have a copy of this for my kids.
As I read your comment he was there on the keys and talking!Coincidence 😊
Cool doc. You can see the future. Rogers saying he doesn't fit in with the younger generations music/style. The band not really doing that well and soon to end.
Hope but for most failure. for one crazy success.
You can see rogers great voice ideas.
The fun and boredom of the road. the apparent hostility to long hair etc.
I like the confederate flags in it .
A story about a group, probably, out of proportioned celebrated in thoise days because more acceptable to a middle age(30 plus) audience. They were on tv more then deserving also because of silly circles in hollywood that latched on to them.
Still one wishes one was doing that, or did that, and seems a better world in some ways.
However music is about popularity or its a wasted life.
19:19 kenny rogers with dark hair lol
No disrespect to Mary Arnold, however, can you believe they skipped on having Karen Carpenter.
But that’s OK. Things worked out pretty good for Karen anyway. Until the stupid anorexic thing got a hold of her. Dammit.
Remind me a bit of Delaney and Bonnie!
Spill brother im English and havent a clue??
