I went to a concert with my Uncle a long time ago. We got to meet Kenny Rogers after words. He is one of the nicest men i have ever met. (My Uncle was a huge fan, and just asked Kenny out of the blue if he wanted to have a Drink at the bar, Kenny took him up on the offer.)
53 year old Black man from The Bronx...and I've loved Kenny Rogers for years. I was lucky enough to finally get to see him a few years ago. His time had definitely passed, but that was OK. He was still able to hit some of those notes though. I still felt very blessed that I got to see him.
Sweetie, please don't apologize for showing your emotions. I'm a 64 year old white guy and I've got tears running down my cheeks every time I hear this masterpiece.
The days of artist like Kenny, Dolly, Johnny Mathis, etc are gone. I grew up on them and people like John Denver and The Carpenters. My generation introduced people like Justin Timberlake. I love the music my parents listened to much better. Though Garth Brooks is incredible!
There are plenty of gentlemen left. We just get bashed and called sexist or toxic for it when we hold a door for a lady amongst many other things. I think we need more ladies.
I was married to my wife for 52 years, and these are the kinds of words that I would say to her all of the time. By the way, The night that I met my wife I told her that I was going to marry her, " She laughed at me" "Yes I did win her forever."
NEVER!!!!! I repeat - NEVER apologize for allowing us to see the type of woman you really are - loving, caring, and sensitive who is touched emotionally by a beautiful song. I have watched many Reaction Videos and this one is by far the BEST and "more importantly" the "Most Honest" reaction I have seen.
@@jamesmabrie8410 If you haven't seen it, here is the two of them singing it together a few years ago: th-cam.com/video/vc8IN-FnRic/w-d-xo.html Kenny also explains how they wrote the song.
But it was Lionel's lyrics, each line of which goes right to a woman's heart, that made the song what it was. It took the both of them to make that the ultimate love song.
Sid Snyder- do you really think we are more racist today than 30+years ago? It’s the media jamming it down our throats, they’re causing much of the harm..
Sigh it really touched me when he passed, this song made me loved my girl so so much but sad to say she's now my ex..sigh I played this song for her as often as I could and she really loved it till one day her heart turned cold but life goes on I really wish he was still alive.
There is'nt a man that ever existed or will exist on the face of this earth that could ever sing this particular song "Lady" better than Kenny Rogers. Phenomenal!
This is why we keep history. So others of future generations can see, judge and feel. Some may hate this, some may be indifferent, while some may love this. It doesn't matter. It's great to see young people pull up songs from artists of other genres they did not grow up with.
I have yet to hear lyrics in the songs today that can begin to touch the depth of what the music of yesterday had to offer in emotion, articulation, and just overall lyrical poise.
Beautiful reaction from a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Kenny was so talented. Lionel Richie wrote one if the greats with this one. Timeless. Perfection.
Kenny was the voice of a generation , his delivery and seemly effortless vocals entertained the masses over the years . His rich soulful voice covered many music genres.
I agree. This is REAL TALENT..This is what MUSIC is... now we have WAP crap... society is SHOT... So refreshing to see your appreciation of this timeless classic ...
Im 70...married 3x. never found that level of love.. too tired to look now...ill just listen to Kenny...Earl Thomas Conley...Gary Stewart.. Dwight Yoakum...Chris Deburgh
What a beautiful reaction to a song so very dear. For 28 years I listened to and played this song for my wife who was also my best friend, every word sung felt. She passed away 6 years ago and though painful, and with many tears, you just brought back so many beautiful memories of the happiest times in my life, thank you
@@franciscozuniga6534 He initially wrote it for The Commodores, but only the first verse, and they didn't want to do another love song, so he pitched it to Kenny for his greatest hits album. Kenny said Lionel did literally finish the rest of it on the toilet while they were recording. MAGIC! I love their friendship. RIP, Kenny.
malteseheart yes. Co-written. Ritchie pitched it to the commodores and they said no. Always wanted to see him and got me chance to see his Xmas show in Englewood,NJ just before he passed. What a great show.
I'm a 34yo white dude who's never really listened to Kenny Rogers much... omg I'm in absolute tears with this song and your honest reaction. Great music touches the soul and knows no colour.
Girl! Story time: I met a guy when I was about 23 years old. He was 24. We started dating. We clicked, obviously right for each other, and things were progressing nicely. One night he wants to take me to a beautiful wood for an evening picnic. He had candles, picnic food. Big blanket, and...... MUSIC! That's right! That boy chose to play Lady by Kenny Rogers because "he has the words that will show you what I feel for you." Anyway, I'll make a longer story shorter, 22 years later, he we are, lying in bed at home. 2 kids. Still madly devoted to each other. I found something rare. A man who knows exactly how to treat his Lady. And he's only gotten better with age.
Most women cry to songs like these because it's the love they wish they had. Sadly times have changed and this kind of love, though not gone, is too far and few between.
Lose social media and it will all be back.. people particularly men are too scared to display any kind of chivalry for fear of been yelled at and made fun of on social media.. yes a small handful have done this..
Do not Cry, please! I can't take it...Legendary singer is a vocal powerhouse. It's sad that he's not here anymore. He left a legacy. This new generation doesn't know what they're singing. Congratulations, your reaction was intense
Don't be sorry, you are moved by the song and his voice, his soul is clearly pouring out in his voice, that and the words every man who ever loved a woman, he said what we all wanted too, thanks, you are a beautiful kind woman...
Yep, gone are the innocent days where it was so simple, and now we have to recreate that magic in the public eye with the full force or public criticism weighing down upon us, but can you imagine how amazing it will be when we break out the other side of the greatest downer, and overcome.
This touches everyone’s heart, because we all want someone or want to sing this song to someone that we feel the emotion for for them that Kenny Rogers sings with in this song.

@@melissagreene4174 your compass is broken. Do you know where you are going? What if a man said to you what you just said. This world is doomed with women that think like you......... and our children suffer for it.
That’s right Kenny delivered the PERFECT interpretation, perfect delivery, this is one of my all time favorite songs and one of my favorite performances !
@@ramonaljensen Actually Richie had started writing this song for the Commodores. When Rogers called Richie, to write a song for a upcoming greatest hits album. From there the two became best friends.
Teddy Pendergrass performed this song live. I watch it at least once a month because my mom was obsessed with him. You guys should check it out. I believe it is the best rendition of this song. ❤ the song is just beautiful. Lionel singing it is top notch as well.
This sort of thing still gets sung...just doesn't have the profile it once did. (People apparently would rather hear Marshall Mathers III croon about smacking bitches off barstools. Or so believes the industry.) For a recent exception (and thankfully not the only one), here's "Symphony" by Josh Groban. Recorded 2019. th-cam.com/video/57wbnmuvmWU/w-d-xo.html
Wow....I stumbled upon this and I'm sitting here stunned like I'm hearing for the first time. Thank you so much for reintroducing it to me. He was a gift to the world. Will truly be missed.❤
Darling you have nothing to be sorry about because Kenny Rogers makes me feel that way too ,I thank you for bringing me back to the wonderful memories of the one special woman I loved in my life 30 years ago and again I thank you that.
I was so saddened when he passed, he was such a nice guy in real life. In the song he was speaking to you and the words touched the heart. I'm glad we have these memories to cherish! I loved your tears, your reaction, they were heartfelt!
He was. I miss him. I am his former postal carrier when he lived in Atlanta Ga before he moved to Athens. I loved his twins too. I cried when he passed
This song is from 1980. Definitely one of his finest. He was also an incredible bass player. Back in 1968 he was with a group called the First Edition and did a song called Just Dropped In, which is completely different from this. A great duet is with him with Dolly Parton doing a song called Island In The Stream, which was written by Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. That's another beautiful song. That one is from 1983. You made me cry, too. I never heard this live version before, but it definitely sounds close to the studio version. Thank you for sharing. RIP Kenny Rogers 1938 - 2020.
Don't ever apologize for being you. I wish I knew more people like you, everyone I know has gotten hard through the years. It's refreshing seeing someone that still feels
Can you imagine yourself at the studio when Rogers and Richie recorded this masterpiece? I am confident that they knew exactly what they had created...a true gift to humanity. Your emotional response is genuine and please embrace that quality within you. You are fortunate that you are able to have these strong emotions. Trust your feelings always. Rest In Peace Kenny. You are still singing to us every day and forever.
I loved your comment but I gotta ask......... is that a pun./play on the song he has that he wrote about Waylon Jennings and his wife Jessi Colter? Sweet Music Man..." Nobody Sings A Love Song Quite Like You Do " ? If it wasn't, it was the perfect tie in ! The words of that song, while written about Waylon, most suits Kenny to me .
One of the most genuine reactions i ever saw here on you tube. You have a beautiful tender heart, and this song certainly brings that out. Certain songs do that to me as well.
This song makes me bawl my eyes out. Every time I hear it. It grips your heart and soul. I love that you cried. His voice is EVERYTHING, PERFECT... just like you said. He is epic. He is a legend. His voice is Pure perfection.
As a child my parents would play his music every day. I loved the sound of his songs and it motivated me to learn English to be able to understand what he was saying. Now I teach English. All thanks to Kenny Rogers.
This is so heart-warming to watch. I’m over here almost turning 14 in December and I honestly prefer old music then music today. That is because the music back then was like listening to an angel sing, unlike now. I will always have an old soul, and I am very proud of it.
Girl, I was a little kid when I first heard this song back in the 80's. It was the studio version, and I had the same reaction. I feel you. I love him so much.
One thing I didn’t say in my previous comment that has to be said. The foresight of the brilliant and equally talented Lionel Richie; to have known in his heart that a Kenny Rogers needed to record this song;;;; pure brilliance! Hats off to another Legend and thank you Lionel Richie for being so brilliant and seeing what you did with this incredible song!
Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" was definately a once in a generation voice & is sadly missed...My Grandmother introduced me to his music at a young age & we always used to sing & dance to his hit "The Gambler"...R.I.P. Kenny Rogers..It was time to fold'em.
When he sings... “In my eyes, I see no one else but you There's no other love like our love And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me I've waited for you for so long”. I just melt
Your emotions are genuine. Stay true to your feelings. Kenny was a one of a kind artist. Not only did he have such an amazing voice, but he help so many out in his long career. I'm from Southeast Missouri, USA. Kenny opened the Kenny Rogers foundation here in Sikeston, Missouri that helped out so many disabled children and is still going strong today. His passing was a heartbreak for many, but his voice and beautiful songs will live on forever. RIP Kenny. You are missed greatly! Thank you for the music you have left us! May God bless your soul.
When he died I was crushed. I realized that when I heard him as a little girl, his music defined how I thought a man was supposed to love a woman. A bit of that hope went with him💔
I listen to this song and I love to watch ppl reaction to it. Lady gives me chills every time I hear it. To be loved likes he’s expressing is a blessing to his lady. Love it. Love your reaction.
No need to apologize. This is what being human IS! We are supposed to feel things when we listen to great music, and also when people we respect have passed away. Kenny was a great songwriter too, but this one was written by Lionel Ritchie. Some other Kenny tunes: Islands In the Stream (written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees!), Through the Years, The Gambler, and so on but this one is probably his most romantic.
Kenny was bkessed with a unique voice,in that there were different tunes within his main tone,we were blessed to have him. And thank you,you give more meaning to his song. R.I.P. Gambler...rest with God.
He was amazing. He had an extremely soothing voice. I would recommend the studio (not live) versions of "You Decorated My Life" and "Through the Years" and "She Believes In Me" by him. They are just as beautiful.
My Uncle sang this to his bride to be as she walked down the aisle on their wedding day 30 years ago (they’re still married). My uncle also has the most beautiful voice too. Not one dry eye in the entire church! ♥️♥️♥️

Kenny has passed
Same here except I’m 65 😊and I always have the same reaction…

Hell yes buddy. I'm a 55 year old white man and totally agree with you.

49 year old black man and it's the same reaction as you. Universal!
40 years later and he still melts women. Rest in peace Kenny.
The silver fox is timeless
Damn straight
No filters, no autotune, only charisma, talent, hearth and soul.
I love Kenny Rogers for always. RIP, maestro.
So incredible how good his voice was live. No studio. No autotune. Just pure talent.
Yeah that just plain doesn’t exist at all anymore
no auto tune cause he’s a real singer
very well said.
Definitely. Real singers don't need help
The days of artist like Kenny, Dolly, Johnny Mathis, etc are gone. I grew up on them and people like John Denver and The Carpenters. My generation introduced people like Justin Timberlake. I love the music my parents listened to much better. Though Garth Brooks is incredible!
And Kenny Rogers is a total gentleman. Something this world needs more of.
There are plenty of gentlemen left. We just get bashed and called sexist or toxic for it when we hold a door for a lady amongst many other things. I think we need more ladies.
A Beautiful and Sensitive Reaction.
@@SnookOnTheFly I agree
@@SnookOnTheFly Bingo! I came here to say just that.

Awww so sorry 😢

@@BijinMCMXC And I'm just pointing out, if he was singing the alphabet, he wouldn't have the women swooning .
Gotta be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and perfectly performed
Beautiful voice legend of all times. May his soul rest in peace

Kenny was a genuine person, who brought people of all races together, unlike all the division and hate we see today.
OMG.......!!!!!
Lillie Vibes..YES🤗
Sid Snyder- do you really think we are more racist today than 30+years ago? It’s the media jamming it down our throats, they’re causing much of the harm..
Sadly we lost Kenny a few months ago. What a loss to the music industry
😔😔
I know I always dreamed I'd meet him before he went and was so sad I didn't get that chance
I dont really care for the industri, but he is a big loss for everyone that loves his voice and music
We only physically lost him.
His voice and spirit is alive and well inside us all.
Sigh it really touched me when he passed, this song made me loved my girl so so much but sad to say she's now my ex..sigh I played this song for her as often as I could and she really loved it till one day her heart turned cold but life goes on I really wish he was still alive.
There is'nt a man that ever existed or will exist on the face of this earth that could ever sing this particular song "Lady" better than Kenny Rogers. Phenomenal!
Kenny vowed at the start of his career to only sing positive songs. He made a great career of it.
Lucille was a positive song? Or Don’t Take Your Love to Town?
Let's not go there
@@Funrunner008 I love his music, but I've never heard him quoted as promising only to sing positive songs.
Coward of the County is one of the darkest songs ever written.....About a man's wife that is gang raped and murdered

Dont worry Dear, millions and Millions and Millions of Ladies loved this man.
The only thing more beautiful than this song is this beautiful woman’s reaction.
What a beautiful thing to say
Your spot on, great comment sir
100% FACTS
This is why we keep history. So others of future generations can see, judge and feel. Some may hate this, some may be indifferent, while some may love this. It doesn't matter. It's great to see young people pull up songs from artists of other genres they did not grow up with.
Girl if you start listening to the oldies channel you'll hear some wild lyrics lol. It puts todays music to shame.

Ain't that the 💯%truth
I have yet to hear lyrics in the songs today that can begin to touch the depth of what the music of yesterday had to offer in emotion, articulation, and just overall lyrical poise.
You got that right!!!!
Truth!!!

Kenny sung the hell out that song. Great writing by Lionel Richie
Yes , for sure !

Of course such a smooth song was written by Lionel Richie
Ever hear thr story on how Lionel sold Kenny on singing it?

Darling you have nothing to be sorry about because Kenny Rogers makes me feel that way too ,I thank you for bringing me back to the wonderful memories of the one special woman I loved in my life 30 years ago and again I thank you that.
I was so saddened when he passed, he was such a nice guy in real life. In the song he was speaking to you and the words touched the heart. I'm glad we have these memories to cherish! I loved your tears, your reaction, they were heartfelt!
Thank you 🙏
He was. I miss him. I am his former postal carrier when he lived in Atlanta Ga before he moved to Athens. I loved his twins too. I cried when he passed
@@sujatasinghal3404 yes he was.
Yes, there was an arena full of swooning women, lol. Don't be embarrassed, it was an awesome reaction.
Thank you soo much ❤️
This song is from 1980. Definitely one of his finest. He was also an incredible bass player. Back in 1968 he was with a group called the First Edition and did a song called Just Dropped In, which is completely different from this. A great duet is with him with Dolly Parton doing a song called Island In The Stream, which was written by Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. That's another beautiful song. That one is from 1983. You made me cry, too. I never heard this live version before, but it definitely sounds close to the studio version. Thank you for sharing. RIP Kenny Rogers 1938 - 2020.
This is exactly what music should do to us. Not just cry, but make us connect deeply with our emotions🙌🏼✌🏼
Don't ever apologize for being you. I wish I knew more people like you, everyone I know has gotten hard through the years. It's refreshing seeing someone that still feels
Awww thank you so much for watching 🙏❤️
A Beautiful Song written by Lionel Richie and Sung by the Iconic Legend Kenny Rogers, Gone too Soon 🙏🏻🕊️🦋
Can you imagine yourself at the studio when Rogers and Richie recorded this masterpiece? I am confident that they knew exactly what they had created...a true gift to humanity. Your emotional response is genuine and please embrace that quality within you. You are fortunate that you are able to have these strong emotions. Trust your feelings always. Rest In Peace Kenny. You are still singing to us every day and forever.
Dave Enyart thank you 🥰
Well, Richie was in the toilet busy writing the second verse while Rogers was recording the first one...

They don't sing Love Songs like they used to they should sing more Love songs like that
You’re so right
So sad he passed.....
I loved your comment but I gotta ask......... is that a pun./play on the song he has that he wrote about Waylon Jennings and his wife Jessi Colter? Sweet Music Man..." Nobody Sings A Love Song Quite Like You Do " ? If it wasn't, it was the perfect tie in ! The words of that song, while written about Waylon, most suits Kenny to me .
Kenny Rogers that man could sing ! Amazing !
RIP Kenny. You were a true legend and will always be remembered.
One of the most genuine reactions i ever saw here on you tube. You have a beautiful tender heart, and this song certainly brings that out. Certain songs do that to me as well.
Awwww thank you so much for the kind word 🙏❤️
Don’t feel bad. You are not the first person that song sung by that man has brought to tears.
Kenny had some serious mojo. One of the best.
Thanks so much for watching 🙏❤️
Now THAT was a Love Song.
Another old love song with killer lyrics is John Denver’s “Annie’s Song.”
That song was simply the best. All women become Annie with the right man.
This song makes me bawl my eyes out. Every time I hear it. It grips your heart and soul. I love that you cried. His voice is EVERYTHING, PERFECT... just like you said. He is epic. He is a legend. His voice is Pure perfection.
As a child my parents would play his music every day. I loved the sound of his songs and it motivated me to learn English to be able to understand what he was saying. Now I teach English. All thanks to Kenny Rogers.
How lovely. What is your mother tongue may I ask?

We have lost a Legend. Kenny Rogers has such a powerful voice. He gave a wonderful musical legacy as a gift to all of us.
One of my favorite songs RIP Kenny Rodgers
Reminds me how huge he was in the 70's and 80's. He crossed over pop and country.
This is so heart-warming to watch. I’m over here almost turning 14 in December and I honestly prefer old music then music today. That is because the music back then was like listening to an angel sing, unlike now. I will always have an old soul, and I am very proud of it.
Thanks for watching hun ❤️🙏
You might want to listen to ELO, Traveling Wilburys, Beatles and Moody Blues as well
Your reaction was natural, this is a beautiful song sung by one of the greatest singers of all time. R.I. P Kenny
“She Believes in Me” is also a great song to react to.
Karsten Huehn thanks fam, will check that out too❤️
And Through the Years
Also check out Crazy and I Don't Need You. Kenny was the best! I cried like I lost a relative when he passed.
Girl, I was a little kid when I first heard this song back in the 80's. It was the studio version, and I had the same reaction. I feel you. I love him so much.
Now that song really 'gets to me'
We lost Kenny about 4 months ago...a true and great performer....crossover of many genre'
It’s the kind of love we all want . But can’t find
One thing I didn’t say in my previous comment that has to be said. The foresight of the brilliant and equally talented Lionel Richie; to have known in his heart that a Kenny Rogers needed to record this song;;;; pure brilliance! Hats off to another Legend and thank you Lionel Richie for being so brilliant and seeing what you did with this incredible song!
Some songs make me 😭, bless those singers who touch souls like that
😔😔
Truth!
Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" was definately a once in a generation voice & is sadly missed...My Grandmother introduced me to his music at a young age & we always used to sing & dance to his hit "The Gambler"...R.I.P. Kenny Rogers..It was time to fold'em.
My teenage son and his mates listen to his songs
RIP Kenny Rogers
Saw him in concert in the early 80's, my girlfriend dragged me there and I'm glad she did.
Awwww😊😊😊....
When he sings... “In my eyes, I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long”. I just melt
Every woman deserves a love like this...
Your emotions are genuine. Stay true to your feelings. Kenny was a one of a kind artist. Not only did he have such an amazing voice, but he help so many out in his long career. I'm from Southeast Missouri, USA. Kenny opened the Kenny Rogers foundation here in Sikeston, Missouri that helped out so many disabled children and is still going strong today. His passing was a heartbreak for many, but his voice and beautiful songs will live on forever. RIP Kenny. You are missed greatly! Thank you for the music you have left us! May God bless your soul.
Awwww he’s truly a legend😔... thank you so much for watching ❤️🥰
Kenny Rogers A Legend
Goosebumps for days! So many many years later, I still get them.
When he died I was crushed. I realized that when I heard him as a little girl, his music defined how I thought a man was supposed to love a woman. A bit of that hope went with him💔
🥺🥺
My mom told me how she met him at a show and told me how cold his hand was when she shook it
Yessir!
Truly, Kenny Rogers was a natural in what he does and will not be forgotten. Thank you for sharing his song.
I listen to this song and I love to watch ppl reaction to it. Lady gives me chills every time I hear it. To be loved likes he’s expressing is a blessing to his lady. Love it. Love your reaction.
No need to apologize. This is what being human IS! We are supposed to feel things when we listen to great music, and also when people we respect have passed away. Kenny was a great songwriter too, but this one was written by Lionel Ritchie. Some other Kenny tunes: Islands In the Stream (written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees!), Through the Years, The Gambler, and so on but this one is probably his most romantic.
Kenny was bkessed with a unique voice,in that there were different tunes within his main tone,we were blessed to have him.
And thank you,you give more meaning to his song.
R.I.P. Gambler...rest with God.
I saw him in concert in the 80’s. He was so handsome & was quite the singer.
He was amazing. He had an extremely soothing voice. I would recommend the studio (not live) versions of "You Decorated My Life" and "Through the Years" and "She Believes In Me" by him. They are just as beautiful.
Noted fam... thank you so much for watching
Kenny Rogers is everything!!!! I grew up with his music. He left so much beautiful music! I’m glad to see younger people enjoying his work!
A timeless piece that touches everyone's heart.
You would enjoy his duet with Dolly Parton - Islands In The Stream.
Written by the The Bee Gees!
I was going to suggest that, you beat me to it. But I do agree.
And "You Can't Make Old Friends" with Dolly
My Uncle sang this to his bride to be as she walked down the aisle on their wedding day 30 years ago (they’re still married). My uncle also has the most beautiful voice too. Not one dry eye in the entire church! ♥️♥️♥️
