I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face. This is the original. "Lady" was written by Lionel Richie and first recorded by Kenny Rogers. It was released in September 1980 on the album Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits. Both his and Lionel's versions are stunning. So beautiful.

This was when men sang songs TO women and not just about them as sex objects. That's what makes them so timeless and romantic and amazing.

This is the original. Lionel Ritchie wrote this exclusively for Kenny. They were the best of friends until Kenny passed away🙏

The era before auto tune. They actually had talent. ❤

The anthem of love. This kind of sentiment is needed now more than ever!

Note this is a live performance. Not a studio to record presentation. Pure gold. Pure legend.

I was born in 1973 and my father raised me on Kenny Rogers. I never listen to country music, but still to this day, I rock it out to Kenny Rogers at least once a week. RIP Kenny. Such a unique voice and a mind person from everything I've read. You should check out his songs "through the years" or "she believes in me." Have a good weekend and stay healthy

It's so FUN to see you really get into this song! It's one of my all time favorites. It was written by Lionel Richie and released in Sept 1980 when I was 37, a mother of three kids and the middle of a painful divorce.

i never get tired of watching newbies react to greatness i've known my whole life

This is musical love-making. Just as there is a difference in sex and love-making, this is that distinction from just singing. It is passion that creates visualizations through pacing, his notes, his intensity, and how he holds the notes at times when words need it to convey "forever". Immaculate presentation from a true Super Star.

Kenny Rogers was in a rock band, previous to his illustrious and epicly successful country music career. The official video of "What Condition My Condition Was In" by the First Edition is something ya wanna check out. The song was the main song in the cult classic movie "the Big Lebowski"! Check out a different side of Kenny Rogers ✌️❤😊

You need to watch him & Lionel performing "Lady' together in 2012

Lionel wrote this for Kenny, so this is the original, however, Lionel also recorded it later on & both versions are beautiful. That being said, my favorite performance is done by them together at the MGM grand in 2012. Seeing these two men & the love between them after their 30 year friendship is a beautiful thing to witness. This version is Kenny's first live performance & the one together in Ls Vegas is one of his last. For other great songs 'Through the years' is a beautiful one like this one. 'Coward of the county' & 'Lucille' are both story songs like 'The Gambler'. He also has duets with Dolly Parton, like 'Islands in the stream'.

RIP to the legend and my condolences to his widow who is from my small hometown!

Kenny Rogers was totally amazing and a definite Legend!! He crossed the chart with all kinds of music

Otis Redding had that same raspy tone in his voice

Lionel wrote this for Kenny exclusively I loved it when they sand it together

Increíble todo tu y tu voz bella impecable ❤

Kenny Rogers did record the original version of this song.

This song was written for Kenny, he has at least 20 albums out and his career spaned 6 decades. The song Sweet Music Man is one he wrote

You want to know what that quality in Kenny's voice, it is pure comfort and love. It is one is one of the first songs I remember and I fell in love at 5 yrs old. 😂 this song always told me this is how to make love to the one you love. From what you say to how to build passion. The flow of music just naturally builds the passion and joy then sooths the builds it all over again. I'm so in love by the end of the song every time.

The number of babies born from this concert is still unknown

Kenny made them SWOON in the 70's and 80's

The Commodores song is "3 Times a Lady". Most of Kenny's songs are his, he didn't write them but he recorded them first.

You should react to USA for Africa 'We Are the World'. Lionel Richey and Kenny Rogers are both in it along with a whole gathering of amazing vocalists.

Written for him. Original. Lionel Ritchie 'the' song writer.

One thing that I like about the music of this era is that artists don't feel the need to do a vocal "run" 30 times during the song!

There’s a video where Lionel Ritchie is in the audience, and Kenny calls him up on stage telling how LR was writing this in a bathroom; I think it’s hilarious!

Goosebumps every time I hear this!❤

Smooooooth

My favourite song by him. His husky voice makes me go weak at the knees.

Nothing like this magic today !!

Loved your reaction my young friend….Keep it coming!….one of my favorite songs ❤

Island in the Stream with him and Dolly Pardon is live. Written by The Bee Gees. Sooooo good! Kenny Rogers was a country legend!! Omg I think all of his songs were originals

That's his song he and Lionel were friends and he wrote and produced songs for Kenny Roger's.

This is the original.

Can't go wrong with Kenny singing a Lionel Ritchie song... perfect storm here.. Beautiful

Youve just listened to raw natural talent

Ok. If you wanna hear a couple of really good songs by this man..go all the way back to Kenny Rogers And The First Edition.. and listen to “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in”. And “Ruby”. ❤

This is my song to my se ond wife - found her after 23 years of nobody.

This is the original

Kenny's song The Greatest is amazing.😊 Coward of the County is another one

Kenny Rogers is one of favorites after Elvis. Such a unique voice. Another one of Kenny's great songs is "Through the years" You do the best face reactions 😃

This is one of his biggest hits, it remembers me another of his songs "you've decorated my life", but as I said, I can recommend you "The coward of the county", because is a great song and the story can bring you to tears.

One of the big selling artists of all time, for a very good reason! Just a brilliant voice.

He has an amazing library of music. He started out in the 1950's performing alternative rock, then went to jazz (which is where he gets that raspy sound in his voice. That's called vocal fry), then finally slid into country music. But he was never your typical country singer. Women loved him! Such a great performer. And he acted too. He will be missed

Perfection... that was the original lol.... Happy to see the new music you are reacting to :)

This is not a cover. "Lady" was written for Kenny Rogers by Lionel Richie. It first appeared as a new song on the album, "Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits" which sold over 12 million copies in the US alone.

Dolly and Kenny, Island In The Stream.

Kennu is a true legend and was a amazing man

Dig this CV~always enjoy your unexpected and authentic reactions!😊 Keep doing you!❤ This is an original by Kenny written by Lionel Richie formerly of the Commodores. It's a "Husky Voice" known as the "Teddy Baritone" in the Industry. It was his distinctive, deep bass-baritone voice, which was so fluid, velour, and velvety, that made it his signature style of singing.

Kenny Rogers was the original DILF... PS. We call that gravel (the quality of his voice)

Listen to Lucille or Ruby. Amazing songs. He had many many albums!! Anything will be awesome!

This is Kenny's song that Lionel wrote for him.. this is the only one I've ever heard. I can't image anyone doing this song like Kenny RIP.

Lionel wrote it for Kenny then later on her recorded it as well these two were close friends.

Check the backstory of how the song was written. Lionel was late to the meeting went into the bathroom and took one piece of paper and wrote lady on the and that's how the song started

I remember hearing this on vinyl back in the 90s. So beautiful :)

They co wrote it

Thank you. So fun to watch you.😊

BRO, The easiest way to describe Kenny Rogers voice: "It's a million dollar voice" that was heard on nearly every radio station across the entire world, be it Country; Easy listening; Soft pop; or Rock! Kenny has his debut into rock music with his hit single, "Just Dropped In, To See What Condition My Condition Was In". Some of his most memorable songs was when he'd team up with other female stars, like Dotty West, "When Two Worlds Collide"; ; or Dolly Parton, "Islands In The Sun"; just a couple of big-time Country stars you may know! THANK YOU!

👋 Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton duet: We've Got Tonight

No, Lionell Richie wrote that song for Kenny! but never sang it! Kenny Rogers sang it at first!

Very genuine, spot on review!

At 4:27 the part you skipped back and listened to a second time....sounds like he's channeling the spirit of Ray Charles to me!

Could not imagine anyone else that could HAVE done this song.

Lionel : told you how a real an talks to his woman. Lionel wrote the song for Kenny only.

If you take the time and passion, you can find a live version, where they both singing this song together. Not that hard to find!

Listen to She Belives in Me or You Decorated My Life.

Dude, in the 80's we had several songs by that title. Kenny's Lady, The Commodore 's Lady, The Whispers' Lady, Freddie Jackson's You are My Lady, not to mention Kool and The Gang's Ladies Night. So don't sweat it. Just enjoy 😅😅😅😅. And you should listen to all the songs I just mentioned. Then you'll start to get why Usher and JT are alright to us.❤❤❤ Much love from VA.

commodorres have a song called lady

He made hits for decades lol - he has way more than one album my guy - he has hundreds of classics - this original song of his being one of his most famous

Favourite KR song is Lucille the Line YOU'VE PICKED A FINE TIME TO LEAVE ME lUCILLE WITH FOUR HUNGRY CHILDREN AND A CROP IN THE FIELDS...

This song is pure catnip.

Watch the one with Lionel Richie and him together! It’s great 😊

My older brothers called this a “panty dropper” ballad. Sorry for the crude comment but it stand the test of time.

CVTECK1, I've just sub to your channel today, i've listened to 2 Kenny Rogers tunes one Bee Gees and one Dolly Parton tunes. Now if you react to ~ Kenny & Dolly ~ Island in the Streams the Bee Gees wrote that tune for Kenny & Dolly..

Do Lionel Richies "Hello"

Ok your just now discovered Dolly . Now the rabbit hole . Connects kenny Dolly ,Lionel richie.

Best thing to do is just het one of his best of albums but he has alot of songs similar to that but ide like to see a reaction to is Scarlett Fever all guys would relate to lol just teact to it and you'll know what i mean

I suggest u teact to "Scarlet Fever" ftom Kenny Rogers I haven't seen a reaction to it and its one of his many hit but this one all guys can understand... don't want to give any more away but plz do a reaction to it I bet you'd be the only one hope to see it ty

Dude, you must checkout the Commodores. I am certain you know some of their songs.

This live version, imo, FAR surpassed the official recorded version by Kenny.

It's called, controlled reveb.

We lost a legend

Oh, now you have to dive deep into Lionel Richie's music. He's another amazing singer.
