Quite a career for this sweetheart of a man. Rest in peace, Kenny.

Maybe not the best tune for a Sunday morning, but perhaps nobody will discover where they go, and what they do, in their secret hideaway.

Hey, don't forget about Reuben James, all the folks in Madison county cussed his name, but he was good to Kenny. RIP Reuben James.

Here's link to Kenny's Gambler 2 movie for free. If you want Gambler 1, don't try and bluff YouTube by pulling a derringer on them, it won't work, they want their money for Gambler 1.

Unhappy In Memoriam: Kenny Rogers (1938 - 2020)

A native Texan, Kenny Rogers had a varied musical career, beginning with The New Christy Minstrels before forming The First Edition. But he'll be remembered best for what many of us already know, and that's his great story songs and ballads from the '70s and '80s. He also did very well in duets with several well-known female country artists, one of which I'll be featuring below, along with one of his solo hits.

Rest in peace, Kenny, and thanks many times over for your contributions to music and how your songs have enriched our lives forever.

He appealed to people of all ages, there was a span of 5-6 years where he would always have a song on the top 20 of the Billboard charts. Don't forget, his career goes back to the early 1960's when he was with the Christy Minstrels. I remember my 102 year old mom first listening to "Ruby" around July of 1969. I remember her saying "That's one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life."


RIP, Kenny.

Your mom was right, DH. It was and still is one of the best songs ever.
