Lionel Richie wrote this song specifically for Kenny Rogers. Richie's songwriting partnered with Kenny Rogers' voice was almost guaranteed to make women lose their underwear. RIP Kenny Rogers
Richie had the music written and presented it to the Commodores with opening the song with "lady" and only that word... he didn't have anything else as for lyrics to the music for this song. After Roger's people put them together first part of the song was written by Rogers and Richue did the rest of the song while using the restroom... theres a video I just watched on TH-cam a few days ago with Rogers explaining all this on stage as Richie is in the audience and ultimately they both perform the song afterwards
Mathew Callies - Lionell Richie wrote this song for the Commodores, and they didn't want to record it. So Richie contacted Kenny Rogers and the rest is history.
Five years I was the keyboard We toured for five years together and add the honor of playing keyboard for him since back in 1980 of the greatest performance in the world and add honor to play for him and listen to him every night for 200 days of the year we were on the road playing this song now he's passed away God blessed so and I know is in heaven singing for God
No auto tune or background dancers just a man a mic a great song and talent...I was born in ‘70 but I remember hearing this all the time at my grandparents house....Lionel Ritchie is a giant also great artist and he and Kenny had a great relationship
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.
Now I’m crying. Thank you for this. My parents would put this cassette in all the time we were in the station wagon growing up. My sisters & I bought them tickets to see him in Trenton at War Memorial Theatre years ago. My father passed 4 years ago just 4 months shy of they’re 50th wedding anniversary. Tears but so many wonderful memories listening to this man. Love you guys!!!
I grew up just outside NE Philly in Bucks Co. What a big venue to have your graduation!! I was in charge of buying the tix and waited until the last minute. I went there and the box office just released a few first row center seats. LOL. Jackpot. Kenny called on my dad to answer some “true fan” trivia questions about his songs. My parents were over the moon! Keep up the great reactions. I really enjoy watching you both and your relationship with each other. ❤️
My favorite country singer of all times and one of my favorite singers. My top 12 favorite Kenny Rogers songs: 1. “Lady” 2. “I Can’t Unlove You” 3. “I Don’t Need You” 4. “She Believes In Me” 5. “You Decorated My Heart” 6. “The Grambler” 7. “Coward of the County” 8. “Island in the Stream” with Dolly Parton 9. “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer” with Kim Carnes 10. “What About Me” with Kim Carnes and James Ingram 11. “Through the Years” 12. “Crazy”

The Commodors turned this song down. Then he pitched it to Kenny. Not only did Lionel write and produce this song, he taught Kenny how to sing it. Thanks to Lionel, Kenny went form being a great country singer to a musical legend. RIP Kenny. Thanks for doing this. Peace
RIP Kenny Rogers, a legend gone too soon. And to Lionel Ritchie, wow...what a song!! The two of you gave my generation so much to sing to!! Thank you Steph and Jay for your reaction to this iconic song!!!!
Kenny was almost cast opposite Dolly Parton in the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas as Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd but due to scheduling conflicts the role went to Burt Reynolds. Dolly and Kenny have that famous duet Islands In The Stream.
"Coward of the County" is another amazing Kenny Rogers song. "The Gambler" is the classic. "Islands in the Stream" duet with Dolly Parton is beautiful.
I'm in tears there's a huge hole in the world without Kenny Rogers in it he has so many great songs crazy, you decorated my life, morning desire, you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille I'm gonna go cry now a huge part of my childhood is gone now :( rip Kenny Rogers
There's a video of him performing Lady with Lionel Richie is the sweetest thing ever seeing their friendship and talent together. Not to mention many duets he's done with Dolly Parton, amazing You feel every word Kenny sings. Brings tears to my eyes, such an amazing talent
I wish someone still made great songs like this and that there were still really talented singers to perform them. Kenny Rodgers sang some of my favorite love songs
Lionel Richie did sing it with Kenny Rogers a couple of times. He once said that, " Kenny's version is one that you can't improve upon. It is so good that I haven't even attempted to do for 30 years."
I love you two. This white boy watches a TON of reactions from younger black couples, and I love them, but when I watch your reactions...A generation older than me, but I'm middle aged, so not but much, I love it. You're more seasoned. You've lived longer and learned have been through much more, and I really appreciate your reactions.
I was 9 in 1980 and I listened to him all the time. Listening to these songs with his recent passing brings tears to my eyes. Such an honest and powerful singer. He tells a story with conviction. His vocal skills are the icing on the cake. RIP Kenny. You moved a lot of people sir. Thank you for this respectful and classy remembrance of him.
Thank you guys for making this tribute to Kenny. He kind of seems like that uncle that you live and can't wait to stop by at the family bbq and tell his stories. I will miss my follow Houstonian. Check out his duet with Lionel Richie... it's awesome. God bless you guys and all who read this. Oh one of my favorites is "Coward of the County"....
Lionel Richie is a excellent song writer and this song just goes beautifully with Kenny's voice.
Lionel Richie wrote this song specifically for Kenny Rogers. Richie's songwriting partnered with Kenny Rogers' voice was almost guaranteed to make women lose their underwear. RIP Kenny Rogers
Matthew Callies that women lose their underwear killed me 😂😂😂but I agree Rip Kenny Rogers gone but never forgotten!!
Richie had the music written and presented it to the Commodores with opening the song with "lady" and only that word... he didn't have anything else as for lyrics to the music for this song. After Roger's people put them together first part of the song was written by Rogers and Richue did the rest of the song while using the restroom... theres a video I just watched on TH-cam a few days ago with Rogers explaining all this on stage as Richie is in the audience and ultimately they both perform the song afterwards

“Lose their underwear?” More like their underwear getting really damp for unexplained reasons, then suddenly “disappearing.”😜
@ Matthew
Trust me, did it for me !!
The perfect song that EVERY woman wants sung to her, and EVERY man wishes he could sing! Perfection by Lionel and Kenny.
Lionel Richie called Kenny Rogers his angel. They shared a beautiful friendship
Five years I was the keyboard We toured for five years together and add the honor of playing keyboard for him since back in 1980 of the greatest performance in the world and add honor to play for him and listen to him every night for 200 days of the year we were on the road playing this song now he's passed away God blessed so and I know is in heaven singing for God
Finally! A reaction where people dont talk through the whole song and miss 75% of what is going on! Much respect to you both! Great reaction
No auto tune or background dancers just a man a mic a great song and talent...I was born in ‘70 but I remember hearing this all the time at my grandparents house....Lionel Ritchie is a giant also great artist and he and Kenny had a great relationship
