My dad called my mom, Lady, my entire life. Every card, every note, was 'To My Lady' in reference to this song. I'm almost 50 yrs now, and dad passed in Dec/22. This song means so much to me now. ❤
And that is the way the song should be thought of, what it does to the heart, the soul, and the devotion to your true love. This song was first sung by Lionel Richie & I used to dream that someday, some how, someone would think of me that way. Then Kenny re-made it and those feelings came back. At least I know there are those out there that have experienced, cherished, and respected those once in a lifetime loves. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your parents are so very blessed.
Now you must watch the version of Kenny & Lionel doing it together in Las Vegas, at MGM Grand, in 2012, a few years before Kenny passed. Lionel was being honored and Kenny told the story of this song & the love & 30 year friendship between them is such a beautiful thing to see. Then they do it together. Makes me cry no matter how many times I see it. 'Old Kenny' still was amazing. Lionel also recorded this beauty. Kenny sings another love song like this called 'through the years' & is perfect for couples. Another beauty. (And that last note got the ladies! LOL)
When our daughter was born on 1980, Lady was the #1 hit. At that moment, my husband decided that if the baby was a girl this would be the song he would dance with her at her wedding. Fast forward to July of 2006 and the father daughter dance was to Lady. He was so thrilled to dance to this amazing song with his lil Lady at her wedding.
Young people these days always feel sorry for us older people because we didn't have all the things they have today, but I feel sorry for all you young ones because you didn't live through the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s....... What a blessing!!!
To the young lady reacting to “Lady”, I have never seen a woman not even get moved by this song of love that Kenny has for his “Lady”. Yet to the young man, bravo, you got it. That was so nice to see. The fact that you wanted to surprise your “Lady” with this song was beautiful yet she didn’t seem to get that. 🥺🥺🥺
Whenever my husband and I would here this song, he would tell me that I was his lady. He didn't vocalize his feelings all the time, but when he did, he meant it! He's been gone for almost 21 yrs now but I still get tears when I listen to this. Thank you!
As a guy who grew up in the late 70s I can remember my dad playing this on the record player and I believe we had it on 8 track as well. I think of my parents every time I hear this song.
We were hosting 25 friends and relatives for a Thanksgiving dinner. I was checking the turkey when this song started to play. My husband came into the kitchen, closed the oven door, and swept me into his arm. He twirled and dipped me through the kitchen, dining room, and living room, apron and ovenmitt and all! 🎼🎵🎶
Kenny Rogers concert was my first date with a man who became my husband. This was our 1st dance song at the wedding. We were married 29 1/2 years when he passed away.
Kenny Rogers, that voice with his rasp and those songs... It will always be sexy and never ever feel tired and old. An awful lot of babies were made to this mans voice. He and Lionel have always been 2 of my all time favorites and it's no surprise they were such wonderful friends.
I always loved Kenny Rogers and this will always be my favorite song sang by him. It was always kinda my song to sing along with to my wife when it would come on the radio or such. She passed away almost 2 years ago now and I just sat here trying to sing along but crying most of it heh. This will, in my opinion, always be the ultimate love song.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views! This song puts everyone in the mood. This song was a huge hit when it came out. Kenny is definitely a ladies' man. He is old enough to be my father and I have had a crush on him my whole life. He is true talent. You got it right when you said soulful. Love your reaction. 😄 karioke is less about talent and more about just having tons of fun and the more bravado and fun you are having the more the audience enjoys it.
A little known story about this song. Kenny and Lionel were in the studio and Kenny kept singing the song but he wasn't happy with the way that it was sounding. Then his wife walked in. He sang the song to her and it was perfect. That is the way that he sang the song from then on.
Lionel was writing this song and the name of it was "Baby". He and Kenny we talking and Kenny told Lionel that he had met a real Lady that he was smitten with and Lionel changed the name of the song to "Lady".
Another lovely ballad he does is, "You've Decorated My Life" and you have to check out "Islands in the Stream" with Dolly Parton as others have said below. Loved your reaction! This is one of my favorite live performances.
Please, please watch the video years later of Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie singing this song on stage together . Love your reactions. I feel you. PS, will be 70 in March. I’ve lived all the classic rock you’re looking at and experiencing for the first time. Magical reactions to songs I’ve enjoyed for over 50 years.
For more than a minute back in the day, this was the quintessential song for the first dance at so many weddings. Yes, that was before romance was replaced with raunch. Kenny did a duet with Dolly you should check out called Islands In The Stream.
Iconic Kenny Rogers made musical history! Thank you for experiencing this classic! Have you done his: The Gambler? It's metaphorically priceless! And Islands in the Stream duet with Dolly Parton?
I think at least for me, we were exposed to many types of music back in the 70's, R&B, Motown, Heavy Metal, Pop, Disco, Country, etc. Kenny started out as Rock and Roll, I saw him in concert as Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. He was in a buckskin outfit and his hair was long and thought he was gorg. Mom had taken myself and a few of my friends to his concert and I said to her, isn't he handsome? She was not impressed. Little did she know how really handsome he become and that even though his music was country, most of the time it went mainstream to all. That growl in his voice is something he was known for. RIP Kenny.
This Disco years were great but when this came out in 80 it reminded us that a love song like this, a lovers slow dance, is sooooo much better. Best Love Song EVER!!!
Kenny Rogers ... what a voice. I think his appeal was that he was an everyman with an incredible voice who became a star but never changed from being the everyman. He was, by all accounts a wonderful person. He was a presence as i grew up that i took for granted being so young. He was amazing. I also think his appeal lay in that he was a man, masculine, and had a strong confident presence. He was not vulgar or racy, and comported himself like a gentleman. A confident masculine gentleman whose public persona seemed to match his actual personality. No gimickry, no double life, no compromise with the underside of the music industry and a steadiness of character that apoeals to all. He was never smutty. He was a star because of that. Too many artists today lack those characteristics. They use shock value ro get notiriety from degrading themselves and devaluing and dehumanizing their audience. They want instant success and will do whatever, say whatever, sing whatever to get that instant status and they don't realize the trash they promote to do it. They compromise their characters as people. Kenny, like most genuine artists paid his dues, did the hard work over a long time, but never compromised his values and character for stardom. There was a level to which he would not descend for fame. Thus his character was not tarnished with controversy, base vulgarity, or compromise with immortality. Sadly these are qualities lacking in entertainment today, they are qualities our debased and vulgar society actually SHUNS! When we reject immorality, crassness, rudeness, and vulgarity, as a society, and when we reject the juvenilization of our culture and again set high standards of decency, public decorum, and carry ourselves with dignity and grace and show the value of our Christian virtues and stop supporting those who promote values opposite ours, then we can affect the tide of public behavior and shame those who would dehumanize with their movies, music, art and literature. If we shun base vulgarity and shallow vanity, and esteem moral decency, class, dignity and Biblical manhood and womanhood, then we'll see people like Kenny Rogers in entertainment again. People who embrace values that improve society rather than than disgusting, vulgar, immature, perverted trash that is all too common today. We contribute to the trash when we buy their albums, watch their movies, buy their art and read their trash and watch their videos and go to their concerts ( etc.). When we use our money to impovetish immorality and use it to support and bolster decency, then the entertainment industry will have to comply with our values or go bankrupt! The problem is too many people will proclaim high values but in private support base vulgarity and trash. I am not that way. I refuse to support the entertainment industry and their performers when they promote anything other than the values i have. I miss out on a lot of new things, but i am in no way negatively impacted. In fact I'm preventing our dehumanizing culture from devaluing me as a person and my family is kept from the trash of this world ad they hold fast to all that's good, kind, decent, morally upright, and to all that gives humanity its affirmation. We CAN imoact society for the better, but good people have to stop supporting the smutty trash and irreverant debased rot of this world and its disgusting perversions. Virtuous people have to stop dancing with the devil and exposing their souls to his rot!
What amazes me is no one remembers his band, The First Edition. LOL My husband and I were together a little over 34 years. He sang this to me (and a John Lennon song that was on the tip of my brain until I started writing...Woman!). We didn’t have enough time together. I have people who come to see me because of medical issues. Every one of them say I should clear off what was his side of the bed. When I explain I leave it with laptops and blankets and clothes because even now, four years after his very unexpected death, I would turn to that side of the bed to hold him. It takes days to get over the fact he's not there and never will be again. Thank you for the sweet memories you brought me of my beloved'.
I used to do Kareoke back in the 90s. I did a lot of Bob Seger, Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart songs. But when I would do this, I would literally get phone numbers tossed at me in the club while on stage. Kenny has a magic about him that translates to women incredibly.
Kenny started on a pop/folk band called Kenny Rogers and the first edition in the late 60's. Some of his songs are from then. The big one is "Just dropped in to see what condition my condition is in". Ive listened to him since that time.
I had the biggest crush on Kenny Rogers in high school. I got to see him live at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on my 25th birthday. The best birthday ever. He is from Houston. I still can just mellow out while listening to Kenny. ❤
During an interview, a reporter asked Kenny" What do you think about having all these slow songs?" He said "I wouldn't want to be the guy on stage without them" perfect answer
Kenny sang a lot of different genres and didn’t hit it big until he started singing country songs. He has always had a great voice but his country songs just hit different in a very special way. I had the pleasure to see him in Dolly in concert back in the day! What a great concert!!
Everytime I hear Kenny Rogers I think of my dad and us driving in his car when my two brothers and I were little listening to him my dad has been gone 4 years now he was 77 so thank you for the great memories
One of those wonderful, ultimate love songs. Makes me feel so good. I enjoyed watching you two reacting to it - great banter; made me feel really happy for you.
This song brings me to tears every damn time. What an accomplishment of songwriting (Lionel Richie) and singer (Kenny Rogers). If I was a woman, i would LOVE someone to sing this to me.
Slow dancing to this song...the best. I remember Kenny from his days on Saturday morning TV in Houston. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Ah, the memories.
I was SO BLESSED to see Kenny in concert many times!! He first performed this when married to wife, Marianne and played a video of her giving birth to their son Christopher while he sung this...there wasn't a dry eye in the place!❤ RIP Kenny!!
I was actually lucky enough to see Kenny Rogers performed this song live. He unexpectedly showed up at the show venue my family and I were at and decided to perform a few songs. He wasn't scheduled to be there so it was pure luck that we got to see him. And it's still one of my absolute favorite concert memories..
If you like this one you should check out "Through the Years" it's an awesome song for couples that have been together long term. Kenny has many iconic love songs.
There was an owner of a Corvette dealership in my hometown of Jacksonville Florida that was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers. When he went to a restaurant or store, it caused a small riot with the ladies swarming him. I saw it happen it a mall once and it was hilarious.
Kenny performed this sooo good. That said, lyrically, you can close your eyes and see Lionel sing this through Kenny. The Lyrics are 100% Lionel, no mistake!
THESE ARTISTS WERE THE ONES WE WERE LISTENING TO BACK IN THE DAYS(1980's), BEFORE CDs, DVDs. YOU EITHER LISTEN TO THEM ON THE RADIO, WATCH THEM ON TV, BUY THEIR VYNIL RECORDS WHICH WERE SELLING BY THE MILLIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD OR GO TO THEIR CONCERTS. THEY WERE SUPERB THEN, BUT LOOKING BACK, WITH THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT WE HAVE NOW, I REALIZE THAT THESE CLASSIC LOVE SONGS WERE MORE THAN SUPERB, THEY ARE TIMELESS TREASURES.
My husband and I had 40 years together and all of those years he called me Lady, very rarely by my first name. The good Lord called him home in 2014, I miss him so much but I can still hear his voice..... hey Lady.....
ALL the ladies were in love with Kenny back in the day! My 16 year old babysitter loved him so much and even had the Kenny Rogers “Lady” blue jeans and I thought she was so cool! My dad used to play Kenny Rogers’s songs on his guitar and sing with me and my sisters when we were little. Kenny was country music royalty! ❤
My husband and I met in 1980 at Hunter AAF in Savannah. Every time I went into the Officers Club he would put this on the Jukebox!! He still calls me Lady❤️ We’ve been married 40 years last month.
I was fortunate to see Kenny in concert. He had this stage with the band in middle. He was able to walk around and involve the whole arena. Incredibly fun show.
Lionel Richey wrote this song for Kenny. They were best friends for over thirty years! There’s also a tribute to Lionel where they sing this song together. You can see the love and brotherhood they had for each other!
I went to this concert tour in Jan of 1984, he did it on a round stage. When I caught him at New Mexico State U. The Righteous Brothers Opened, then came the Oak Ridge Boys, with Kenny as the head liner. If I remember, it started about 8pm and ended after midnight. The Commodores wouldn't record it and Kenny took it with just one line done and he finished in the can of the Studio.
When Kenny debuted this song...1.6 million babies were conceived.
My dad called my mom, Lady, my entire life. Every card, every note, was 'To My Lady' in reference to this song. I'm almost 50 yrs now, and dad passed in Dec/22. This song means so much to me now. ❤
And that is the way the song should be thought of, what it does to the heart, the soul, and the devotion to your true love. This song was first sung by Lionel Richie & I used to dream that someday, some how, someone would think of me that way. Then Kenny re-made it and those feelings came back. At least I know there are those out there that have experienced, cherished, and respected those once in a lifetime loves. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your parents are so very blessed.
what a beautiful memory of your parents. Yay you.
That is so sweet!!! My parents will be celebrating their 67th anniversary in March. Long marriages always amaze me. God bless!
How lovely!!!! The first few notes always give me goosebumps. Legendary artist and song ❤
Seems Lost on You Both
Now you must watch the version of Kenny & Lionel doing it together in Las Vegas, at MGM Grand, in 2012, a few years before Kenny passed. Lionel was being honored and Kenny told the story of this song & the love & 30 year friendship between them is such a beautiful thing to see. Then they do it together.

Kenny sings another love song like this called 'through the years' & is perfect for couples. Another beauty. (And that last note got the ladies! LOL)
Yes, this is a great video clip. I have watched many times.
Yes the Lionel and Kenny video is the very best. Hope they check that one out , even on their own. They did have a beautiful friendship.
YES!!! It's like watching two masters play tennis. It's such a beautiful rendition and their love for each other as friends is palpable.
I have to say seeing Lionel and Kenny sing this song was so beautiful, seeing the respect, friendship, and love makes me teary-eyed every time.
When our daughter was born on 1980, Lady was the #1 hit. At that moment, my husband decided that if the baby was a girl this would be the song he would dance with her at her wedding. Fast forward to July of 2006 and the father daughter dance was to Lady. He was so thrilled to dance to this amazing song with his lil Lady at her wedding.
Nice 👍🙂
Young people these days always feel sorry for us older people because we didn't have all the things they have today, but I feel sorry for all you young ones because you didn't live through the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s....... What a blessing!!!
amen
I was extremely lucky, I lived thru 60's twice. Think about it.
To the young lady reacting to “Lady”, I have never seen a woman not even get moved by this song of love that Kenny has for his “Lady”. Yet to the young man, bravo, you got it. That was so nice to see. The fact that you wanted to surprise your “Lady” with this song was beautiful yet she didn’t seem to get that. 🥺🥺🥺
Absolutely agree!
I also thought that if she recognized the effect on her husband she would
also understand his feelings towards her ??
I agree! Very weird.
Whenever my husband and I would here this song, he would tell me that I was his lady. He didn't vocalize his feelings all the time, but when he did, he meant it! He's been gone for almost 21 yrs now but I still get tears when I listen to this. Thank you!
I love how he tells you someone else wrote the song and then sings it and you believe he means every word he says. Great artist ❤
and why are they having a discussion about karaoke in the middle of this beautiful song ?
I sang this song to my wife, my daughter was born 9 months later ! That tells it all !
lol true romantic.
As a guy who grew up in the late 70s I can remember my dad playing this on the record player and I believe we had it on 8 track as well. I think of my parents every time I hear this song.
You realize how many kids were born 9 months after this was released. Women melted to this song back then, and I would suppose a few still do.
Kenny is second to none! Grew up watching my Dad dance with my Mom to this as he'd sing it to her. She'd be smiling ear to ear. ❤❤
We were hosting 25 friends and relatives for a Thanksgiving dinner. I was checking the turkey when this song started to play. My husband came into the kitchen, closed the oven door, and swept me into his arm. He twirled and dipped me through the kitchen, dining room, and living room, apron and ovenmitt and all! 🎼🎵🎶
Lionel Richie is a great song writer. Kenny was the epitomy of romantic singers. This great hit will never be outdone.
Other than by Lionel Richie singing 3 Times A Lady!
Kenny Rogers concert was my first date with a man who became my husband. This was our 1st dance song at the wedding. We were married 29 1/2 years when he passed away.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I pray the love you shared will carry you through and his memory will always be a blessing.
@tlgarrison8433 thank you.
Kenny Rogers, that voice with his rasp and those songs... It will always be sexy and never ever feel tired and old. An awful lot of babies were made to this mans voice. He and Lionel have always been 2 of my all time favorites and it's no surprise they were such wonderful friends.
RIP Kenny one of the Best male voice ever
His growl is everything! Perfect for the song!
Fun fact: Lionel and Kenny were very good friends with the utmost respect for each other and each other's talent. Lifelong, wonderful friendship.
I always loved Kenny Rogers and this will always be my favorite song sang by him. It was always kinda my song to sing along with to my wife when it would come on the radio or such. She passed away almost 2 years ago now and I just sat here trying to sing along but crying most of it heh. This will, in my opinion, always be the ultimate love song.
"She Believes in Me" is another Kenny Roger's must listen to...
This is one of the greatest love songs ever written.
Legendary is the right word for Kenny. Such a beautiful voice.
Kenny Rogers started as a Rock artist in the 1960's with a group called the First Edition. He was good back then also.
Wasn’t he with The New Christy Minstrels?
He’s was such a wonderful singer I had the pleasure of meeting him such a wonderful man R.I.P. Kenny you will be so missed love you always
My favorite version of this is Kenny singing it with Lionel Richie. You can tell the love they had for each other!
I can't believe this doesn't have more views! This song puts everyone in the mood. This song was a huge hit when it came out. Kenny is definitely a ladies' man. He is old enough to be my father and I have had a crush on him my whole life. He is true talent. You got it right when you said soulful. Love your reaction. 😄 karioke is less about talent and more about just having tons of fun and the more bravado and fun you are having the more the audience enjoys it.
"Lady", is the most romantic song ever written and sung. Thank you, Lionel and Kenny.
You Decorated My Life.
She Believes In Me.
Both by Kenny also, and in the same style.
Don’t fall in love with a dreamer gets my feels good
A little known story about this song. Kenny and Lionel were in the studio and Kenny kept singing the song but he wasn't happy with the way that it was sounding. Then his wife walked in. He sang the song to her and it was perfect. That is the way that he sang the song from then on.

My earliest memories are watching my parents dance to this song in our kitchen.
Another lovely ballad he does is, "You've Decorated My Life" and you have to check out "Islands in the Stream" with Dolly Parton as others have said below. Loved your reaction! This is one of my favorite live performances.
He sings it beautifully ❤❤Sadly missed …
Beautiful song. I have ALWAYS LOVED KENNY.
all his music is great.
"YOU CAN'T MAKE OLD FRIENDS." THE BEST EVER!
Please, please watch the video years later of Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie singing this song on stage together . Love your reactions. I feel you. PS, will be 70 in March. I’ve lived all the classic rock you’re looking at and experiencing for the first time. Magical reactions to songs I’ve enjoyed for over 50 years.
For more than a minute back in the day, this was the quintessential song for the first dance at so many weddings. Yes, that was before romance was replaced with raunch. Kenny did a duet with Dolly you should check out called Islands In The Stream.
Reminds me of waking up and hearing a commercial for hits and hearing this song playing lol
Islands in the stream that is
Iconic Kenny Rogers made musical history! Thank you for experiencing this classic! Have you done his: The Gambler? It's metaphorically priceless! And Islands in the Stream duet with Dolly Parton?
Kenny was also an amazing photographer. What a voice that man had. Legend.
I think at least for me, we were exposed to many types of music back in the 70's, R&B, Motown, Heavy Metal, Pop, Disco, Country, etc. Kenny started out as Rock and Roll, I saw him in concert as Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.

RIP Kenny.
Kenny and Dolly singing Islands in the Stream is one to not miss.
Which was written by the Bee Gees Barry Gibb
This Disco years were great but when this came out in 80 it reminded us that a love song like this, a lovers slow dance, is sooooo much better. Best Love Song EVER!!!

This man knows how to be sensual without being disrespectful he is a true romantic.
This was such a wedding song back in the day. Love Kenny Rogers and all the memories this song stirs.
This song was released at the time I met the man I would spend 34 years with. This was our song…
I love the way they we're talking and kenny laid down that first "Lady" and he put up his finger like "hold on"😂😂❤❤
When I was young, he was my first love ❤️ thanks
Kenny started on a pop/folk band called Kenny Rogers and the first edition in the late 60's. Some of his songs are from then. The big one is "Just dropped in to see what condition my condition is in". Ive listened to him since that time.
This was played at so many weddings when I was young.
Sebs… thanks for doing this. I sang this to my wife at our wedding almost 32 years ago.
No woman could resist. Powerless under this song.
Kenny rogers vocals are just so unique and beautiful. This song is such a classic , romantic gorgous song
A lot of people don't know that Kenny got his start as a rock and roll artist.
I had the biggest crush on Kenny Rogers in high school. I got to see him live at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on my 25th birthday. The best birthday ever. He is from Houston. I still can just mellow out while listening to Kenny. ❤
I always crushed on Kenny. His hair, beard and stash. Love it.
Beautiful silver fox right there. I love his voice. Perfect son writing by Mr Ritchie.
Cheers from Australia awesome song fitting reaction
Her reaction was pricelessly honest.
During an interview, a reporter asked Kenny" What do you think about having all these slow songs?" He said "I wouldn't want to be the guy on stage without them" perfect answer
Kenny sang a lot of different genres and didn’t hit it big until he started singing country songs. He has always had a great voice but his country songs just hit different in a very special way. I had the pleasure to see him in Dolly in concert back in the day! What a great concert!!
Kenny Rogers and the first edition did Ruby don't take your love to town. Kenny was good with FIRST EDITION
Everytime I hear Kenny Rogers I think of my dad and us driving in his car when my two brothers and I were little listening to him my dad has been gone 4 years now he was 77 so thank you for the great memories
One of those wonderful, ultimate love songs. Makes me feel so good. I enjoyed watching you two reacting to it - great banter; made me feel really happy for you.
Definitely go check out the live version of Kenny and Lionel singing this together! So cool!!
This song brings me to tears every damn time. What an accomplishment of songwriting (Lionel Richie) and singer (Kenny Rogers). If I was a woman, i would LOVE someone to sing this to me.
Song written By Lionel Richie! Great song! Kenny Rogers was in The First Addition a group from the 60s.
Kenny Rogers is not my era, but I have to say...his voice!! Never fails...
Slow dancing to this song...the best.
I remember Kenny from his days on Saturday morning TV in Houston. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Ah, the memories.
This was actually written by Lionel Ritchie,when he was in the commodore's.Beautifully written song.
I was SO BLESSED to see Kenny in concert many times!! He first performed this when married to wife, Marianne and played a video of her giving birth to their son Christopher while he sung this...there wasn't a dry eye in the place!❤ RIP Kenny!!
I was actually lucky enough to see Kenny Rogers performed this song live. He unexpectedly showed up at the show venue my family and I were at and decided to perform a few songs. He wasn't scheduled to be there so it was pure luck that we got to see him. And it's still one of my absolute favorite concert memories..
This was played at our wedding.. Almost 42 years ago
Have loved Kenny since he was with the 1st Edition.
Kenny sings to every lady in person
It was uploaded 15 yrs ago, but recorded in the early 1980's.
Kenny was what you call the king of the silver foxes!!
The words every woman wants to hear!❤️
If you like this one you should check out "Through the Years" it's an awesome song for couples that have been together long term. Kenny has many iconic love songs.
There was an owner of a Corvette dealership in my hometown of Jacksonville Florida that was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers. When he went to a restaurant or store, it caused a small riot with the ladies swarming him. I saw it happen it a mall once and it was hilarious.
He was actually singing to his New Lady!!❤❤
Kenny performed this sooo good. That said, lyrically, you can close your eyes and see Lionel sing this through Kenny. The Lyrics are 100% Lionel, no mistake!
One of the all-time classic love songs! Lionel Ritchie classic beautifully sung and performed by Kenny Rogers.
THESE ARTISTS WERE THE ONES WE WERE LISTENING TO BACK IN THE DAYS(1980's), BEFORE CDs, DVDs. YOU EITHER LISTEN TO THEM ON THE RADIO, WATCH THEM ON TV, BUY THEIR VYNIL RECORDS WHICH WERE SELLING BY THE MILLIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD OR GO TO THEIR CONCERTS. THEY WERE SUPERB THEN, BUT LOOKING BACK, WITH THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT WE HAVE NOW, I REALIZE THAT THESE CLASSIC LOVE SONGS WERE MORE THAN SUPERB, THEY ARE TIMELESS TREASURES.
I worked for Kenny's PR company in Nashville and got to meet him several times. He is a wonderful wonderful man.
My husband and I had 40 years together and all of those years he called me Lady, very rarely by my first name. The good Lord called him home in 2014, I miss him so much but I can still hear his voice..... hey Lady.....
That vocal fry Kenny uses on that last line is one of his trademarks. People love it. It was intentional not him missing the note
ALL the ladies were in love with Kenny back in the day! My 16 year old babysitter loved him so much and even had the Kenny Rogers “Lady” blue jeans and I thought she was so cool! My dad used to play Kenny Rogers’s songs on his guitar and sing with me and my sisters when we were little. Kenny was country music royalty! ❤
LOVE IT!!! You should give a listen to the video of Kenny and Lionel doing this one together!!!!
Kenny is who i built my ideal man around. I was so in love with him growing up. From late 70s through the 80s and into the 90s kenny had my heart.
76 year olf guy here and I sing karaoke about every two weeks. "Lady" is one on my list
I fell for Kenny Rogers when he was very young and it was Kenny Rogers and the First Addition ❤❤❤
My husband and I met in 1980 at Hunter AAF in Savannah. Every time I went into the Officers Club he would put this on the Jukebox!! He still calls me Lady❤️ We’ve been married 40 years last month.
Kenny Rogers and the first edition
Something burning
I was fortunate to see Kenny in concert. He had this stage with the band in middle. He was able to walk around and involve the whole arena. Incredibly fun show.
The quintessential serenade for a lady. That’s why ladies swoon ❤️
Lionel Richey wrote this song for Kenny. They were best friends for over thirty years! There’s also a tribute to Lionel where they sing this song together. You can see the love and brotherhood they had for each other!
I love this man what a beautiful voice beautiful man and beautiful soul. RIP Kenny
I went to this concert tour in Jan of 1984, he did it on a round stage. When I caught him at New Mexico State U. The Righteous Brothers Opened, then came the Oak Ridge Boys, with Kenny as the head liner. If I remember, it started about 8pm and ended after midnight. The Commodores wouldn't record it and Kenny took it with just one line done and he finished in the can of the Studio.
The first record I ever owned was The Gamber by Kenny Rogers when I was 7 years old. He is one of my favorites. RIP Kenny.
