Lionel wrote it for Kenny. Kenny once said Lionel is one of the #1 singer/songwriter he goes to first for songs. Writing songs like this , that’s timeless, is literally gold bars for the songwriter.
Song was written by Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rogers. Kenny and Lionel did do a duet of this song, but I don't think Lionel ever performed it alone, or record it. But I could be wrong. If you'd like to hear a song written and performed by Lionel Ritchie, I would suggest 3 Times A Lady, recorded when Lionel was in the group Commodores. The live version is the best. Glad you reacted to this, Kenny had many hit songs, so there are many to choose from.
Lionel wrote it originally for The Commodores, and it was titled "Baby," but The Commodores didn't want it. He met up with Kenny, and Kenny had a special lady in mind, so they changed the words and made it work!!^!
Check out, "She Believes in Me" and "Through the Years". Two of his best love songs after this one. Also had many other hits like "You decorated my Life", "Coward of the County", and "The Gambler".
You just got a subscription. 5:52 You...are...the ONLY REVIEWER who gets it. It is THAT kind of song. I have commented this very thing on other reviews of this song and got crickets (I guess they thought it was "old-fashioned"). We men will ONLY MAKE THIS PROCLAIMATION if we are TRULY INTO A LADY AND KNOW WE WANT NO OTHER. You've just gained a subscriber.
Yeah, as others said this is the original version. Lionel Richie (check him and his group The Commodores out) wrote this for Kenny. They were great friends for some years, both coming out of bands, Commodores and First Edition (not to be confused with New Edition). Kenny was a songwriter as well, and wrote songs for others too. Back then, people would write songs and go "ooo... I bet such and such would sound better singing this", which is what happened to a few of Lionel's songs. He knew Kenny's rasp would enhance it just right (freaking genius, he's on American Idle I think, right now). Lionel has tons of songs, hit after hit for decades.
Check out "Islands in the stream" written and produced by none other than Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, he also produced the album "Eyes that see in the dark" which this song is on
Lionel Richie wrote this song for Kenny Rogers. I think they also sang it together. They are friends. Kenny also sings Coward of the County and the Gambler. Great reaction!
I love when someone young goes into it looking like they don’t expect to like it based on the visual but when the song starts you see the change. These old songs are based on pure talent. Lionel Richie wrote it for him. It’s his song not a cover. If you haven’t checked out Lionel Richie or the Commodores you should do so.
@@emilyfeechi He has so many but I think “Hello” is one of his most well known. You might also like “Stuck on You”, “Truly” and “You Are”. He was the lead singer for the Commodores until 1982 and had many many hits with them too. Side note- My 7th grade chorus class sang “Truly” when it came out...with a few word changes so we didn’t say “lover” 🤣
irst saw thank you. Thank you Kenny or I is my father, dozens one of the most greatest songs ever wrote in the world and America waste. But thank you and by the way he was my father but he was still alive he would tell you one thing and one thing, you are the most beautiful women in the world. That's just the way he was so you know. But my mother he met her I caught a show called E all. Now were getting way back in time. And when you get a chance look up a movie called six pack that's on my dad did a movie together.and then you realize what an incredible man he was. But I'm telling you right now thank you for making this TH-cam video, and like I said my father was so live, he would tell you first of all me being the son go for these two beautiful women, but your weight you young for me, but thank you thank you and thank you from the Rogers family.
Totally 💯 Awesome 👏 🤩 “Lineal Richie” From The “Commodores” Is The Original Writer And Music Producer, But He Gave or Maybe 🤔 Sold, this Song & Lyrics To Kenny Rogers ? Not To Sure About The Paperwork & The Deal That They Struck ?? But I Am Sure Who Actually Wrote It, And Gave It To Kenny Rogers To Sing. I’m A Man, And I Would Play This Song To My True Love
Kenny and Lionel Ritchie singing "Lady" together is just too good!
Lionel wrote it for Kenny. Kenny once said Lionel is one of the #1 singer/songwriter he goes to first for songs. Writing songs like this , that’s timeless, is literally gold bars for the songwriter.
The original Silver Fox. Such a handsome man with a beautiful voice.
I suggest you look up who the silver fox is it's not Kenny Rogers he is the Gambler
This is the original, Lionel Ritchie wrote this for him. It was an instant hit. Kenny passed away this year.RIP
What is a 57 Old Man thank you for all the memories
Thank you Kenny Rogers thank you
Kenny Rogers is just a great great singer with style & class.
This is what you call real singing, not the horribly forced stuff they do on "The Voice"!
This is the "original" version. The song was later recorded by the man who wrote it, Lionel Ritchie.
Gives me goosebumps everytime 🥰
It actually brings me to tears. Beautiful.

He actually did, he recorded it too
Lionel Richie did do this song himself also but I really think Kenny sang it best and Kenny also took it to Number 1 on the charts
@@IAmFat1968 Lionel performed it in concerts along with others he wrote for the Commodores and his personal carrier. He also sold songs.
@@BigOne1910 Kenny took it and owned it.

You might like the duet of the song that he did with Lionel Richie (who wrote the song just for him).
Lionel Richie wrote and called Kenny up and gave him the song. They are great friends and always have been. Still are!
actually Kenny rogers called Lionel and asked him to write him a song the commodores turned this song down and he wrote it for Kenny instead.
I'll get on my knees for you he's so pretty girl
The song was written for him it's been covered by others
Emily Kenny is a music legend.
Thank you great reaction❤️
