    My mom used to listen to what I considered boring country music when I was a kid. It took me growing up to fully understand how great and genius this song was. Yea some people are dealt a full house from birth and others maybe only a pair if they're lucky but you still gotta play that hand right cause nothing in life is guaranteed. Great song....this from a black dude who grew up on hiphop but recognizes great art when I hear it no matter the genre.

    Kenny Rogers was the best vocal story teller. His voice has an overwhelming emotionally expressive tone quality. Over a 63 yr career. Watch his amazing biography. He was raised in poverty. Became a huge mega star with The Gambler Album & song. A huge cross over artist Country, Pop, R & B, psychodelic, gospel music. He was loved by everyone Globally. He was a really good man. He helped organize Feed Africa We Are The World song & huge talent session event fundraiser with major talents of the 80's. His songs had weekly TV movies. He was in a variety of bands. He even had his own tv show. Jimi Hendrix loved his Band First Edition 1st album Just Dropped In. Check out Just Dropped In, Coward of the County, She Believes in Me, You Decorated My Life, Ruby, Lucille, Don't Fall In Love with a Dreamer, Lady, Islands In The Stream.

    Great analysis of the song, both of you. I have seen a lot of reactions to this song on YT, as well as reactions to Kenny's many hits.
    The two of you "get" so much of what he was doing and saying here. He has a great voice and musical instincts. Yet, he would do these songs where he was just a "narrator" telling a meaningful song from the shadows.
    When you react to this song, I hope you understand the story is a story, and the characters may be completely fictionalized. The whole experience is carried by 1 person and his voice.
    My dad loved Kenny's music. RIP, Dad. I get it. 💐

    Well done you guys !! Mel, your comment about your Grand Mother, singing this great song, is a testament to the definition of pure class and dignity, it is obvious to your fans, and myself, that same DNA flows through your veins Here are the numbers for KR, The awards were endless; 120 million albums sold, 21 American Music Awards, 11 People Choice Awards, 10 Academy of Country Music Awards, 3 Grammys and on and on and on. Lionel Richie and KR were great collaborators, Lionel Richie wrote "LadY" , a number one hit for Kenny Rogers. Mr. Kenny Rogers passed away of natural causes On March 20, 2020, just 7 days after his death, on March 27, 2020 Capitol Nashville sent "Goodbye," a little-known "unearthed" recording by Rogers written by Lionel Richie, to country radio with the note: "Those closest to Kenny wanted to make this track available to all of his fans." I encourage all to have a listen to the song. It is an amazing gift he left for his fans. Thanks for allowing me to share some history.
