Love Kenny Rogers music from when he was with the First Edition (60's-70's) to his solo career. He was a great story teller in many of his songs like "Coward Of The County" & "The Gambler". He had so many hits "Lucille", "Lady", "Through the Years" etc. He did a lot of duets such as with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer", with Sheena Easton "We've Got Tonight" & with Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream". He also did quite a few duets with Dottie West. Home Free did a great cover of this song as a tribute to Kenny Rogers.

The gambling advice is a metaphor for life... The gambler died in his sleep, but his advice stuck with the traveller.

Honey, this man can SANG! He was a heartthrob back in the day. Back in MY day!

Yes, this is a classic country song. It was also made into a TV movie, as were several of Kenny’s songs. He was an extremely talented and popular singer/actor. He was great friends with Lionel Ritchie and recorded Lionel’s song ‘Lady’. We lost him last year and it was so sad. Dolly Parton was another long-time friend of Kenny’s. They toured together for many years and released a few duets.

So glad you are reacting to some of your unknowns from We Are The World 🤗. PLEASE react to his live performance of “Lady” 🙏🏻 It was written for him by Lionel Richie. I think it’s really one that is more down your lane.

Kenny Rogers "Lady". Another awesome Kenny is: Kenny Loggins "Danger zone" (original video from the movie Top Gun). 2 great Kennys.❤️❤️

You gotta check out his duets with Dolly Parton!! AND "The Greatest" is a super cute song by him alone. Enjoy the ride!

Highly recommend 'Coward if the County'. Great storytelling!!!

I know how much you love Dolly, you should do "Islands in the stream" with Kenny and Dolly.

"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" is one of Kenny's best. Poignant story about a war veteran.

Kenny was a story teller in a lot of his songs. Some will give you songs but I would recommend Reuben James (story of a poor black man who takes in a boy that was tossed away). Many of his songs had great stories. Ruby don't take your Love to Town is another sleeper.

This song is actually a metaphor of life itself. Saying that even a losing hand is a winning hand because you cant find someone or the something "winning" until you lose first. Like how many heartbreaks did you have before you found the right one. How many jobs did you go through that hurt you financially before you found a better paying one. And in the end he says I found an ace that I could keep was the lessons that the old man just taught him.

Kenny Rogers is a legend. I’d recommend “Lady” (live version).

Definitely one of my favorite metaphor songs of all time. Especially that “every hands a winner, and every hands a loser”. On the subject of gambling, I’d bet money that Secretary wants you to react to LADY from Kenny Rogers next!

Kenny Roger performed a song with Home Free. He actually went looking for them after his son’s teacher told him about them. Home Free also did a cover of this song as a tribute to Kenny Rogers soon after his passing.

He's such a legend!! Home free collabed "children go where I send thee" before he passed. So they covered this, paying very heartfelt respect to Mr Kenny Rogers. They adored him! You should check those out. 🥰😍

Kenny was a great story teller. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to his stuff! 👍🏻

You need to see his live performance of "Lady", it's amazing!

Love your reaction ♥️ Kenny is one of my favorite people ❤️ please react to " Lady "

In my opinion this man was more than a legend in his time. He had a voice that just commanded attention. I was fortunate enough to have seen him in concert several times and every one was better than the last.

Whoop Whoop! Love me some Kenny! He is one sexy silver bearded Casanova! And if you want another ballad that IMHO is even better than this one, I highly recommend, "Coward of the County" ~ Beth Ann

Loved Kenny Rogers since I was a kid, my parents listened to him alot. Didn't understand the lyrics but once I could, his story telling and singing made really love his songs. Definitely my favourite country singer. My top one is COWARD OF THE COUNTY, should react to it and we could both have some orange juice with your reaction.

This song is not really about gambling---it's a metaphor for life. I had an uncle who used to cry like a baby, when I played this song (he struggled with multiple sclerosis).

This is basically why they picked him for this song because he has such a storytelling voice and then of course he looks the part.... literally since they made movies from the song and he stared in it! Gooooodluckin man with that raspy voice! 🥰❤️

RIP Kenny. You should react to his duet with Dolly Pardon "Island in the Stream" which was written by BEEGEES

Another big hit for Kenny was Coward of the County. He also does "Children, where I send thee" with Home Free.

Kenny hit a lull in his career in the early 80s. He really liked the Commodores, so he reached out to Lionel Richie who had just left the group and asked him to write a song for him. Lionel wrote Lady and that kickstarted a career resurgence for Kenny, and they ended up becoming great friends. That’s how Kenny ended up on We Are The World. But yeah, watched a documentary about Kenny about a year ago and it was obvious that when those 2 were on screen together just how much they loved each other. Good stuff.

Please consider She Believes in Me. It's one of my parents favorites and I miss how much they enjoyed this song.

He is a legend. The song has a double meaning. It's also about the choices we make in life. You also have to hear Lady. You'll love it!

He’s a legend! It’s almost impossible to live in Vegas and not know this one! He had a Chicken restaurant too, Kenny Rogers Roasters…

A must do is the iconic duet from two legends- Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton “ Islands in the Stream”.

You should check out the songs he did with Dolly Parton. 🙂 oh and home free did a cover of this song. 🙂 and they actually sang with Kenny on a song called children go where I send thee. Just thought you might want to check those out as well.

This is the first song that I ever heard from Kenny Rogers. I fell in love. When I was about 10 years old, I had a rack of 45 records , one was this song. All I wanted for Christmas that year was record player, that my dad got for me. This was the first record I played.

Ruby, Island In the Steam (w/ Dolly Parton), Lady (live version), Coward of the County. Absolute Legend!

Kenny died March of 2020 He was with the New Minstral Singers then later as a soloist though he was known to sing with Dolly Parton from time to time. He was a huge entertainer.

Lady, the live version!!! Written by Lionel Richie and sung by Kenny, it was FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! You will NOT be disappointed...he was a heartthrob without even trying!

Home Free did a cover of this but they also collaborated with him on “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” that was AWESOME!! They were so honored that he approached them!

Great reaction as always AB!! They made a movie with the same title. ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

I got to see Kenny Rogers live back around 1979-80. Wonderful show-even though most of the audience was at least twice my age. 🙃

This is a metaphor for life, and relationships...gotta know when to fold up, hold up, walk away, when to run.

Do his live performance of Lady next written by Lionel Richie

For me it is also the game of life. At the beginning he is out of aces in life, so the gambler gives him advice. Also the gambler “broke even” in the night and in his final words etc. so to me the gambler died in his sleep. Another like this is Coward of the county.

Five great songs by Kenny Rogers you might like are: 1. "Islands in the Stream" (with Dolly Parton) 2. "Lady" 3. "(I Am) The Greatest" 4. "Coward Of The County" 5. "Lucille"

My old southern granny(God rest her soul) always had the biggest crush on this man. After I heard Lady, I totally got it.

Also I think you would be happily surprised by Michael Bolton. He has a large catalogue of hits. You should start with “When a Man Loves a Woman”. Tell secretary to bring her fan.

That part about not counting your money until the dealin's done reminds me of a guy who worked with us at a factory. He not only counted his money right there, he gloated and bragged about his winnings at the table. I thought we were going to get killed in the parking lot. Never went gambling with that dude again. I do think though that the lessons in this song are a metaphor for life. Love this song. That one chorus where there is that lyrical echo "Young got to know when to hold'em .... when to hold'em Know when to fold'em.... when to fold'em ....."That has a real gospel feel to me.

I'm Native American and on our reservation, Mr. Rogers was the spokesman for our casino for many years, our reservation is in Lakeside, Ca, called the Barona Indian Reservation, I saw him in concert a few times when I lived in California.

Not only a lesson about gambling, definitely about life too. The next song you should do by Kenny is Lady. It was written by Lionel Ritchie for Kenny and he sings it so beautifully.

You have a long long way to go with Kenny. This was the title of the first of 4 movies he stared in. He's been around for years.

Kenny Rogers started with the First Edition. That was a pretty decent group and he was the stand out. The style of groups back then were somewhere between folk, country and pop. Lots of songs in that genre were stories. Gordon Lightfoot was a storyteller with an amazing voice that you might want to check out. More folk than country. My fav Kenny Rogers song is Lady, She Believes in Me, Through the Years and All of My Life. But those are all ballads. He’s famous for Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to aTown, The Coward, and Lucille. Jim Croce is a folk rock storyteller who was amazing. Operator. I Got a Name. Time in a Bottle. I’m a 70s girl and that era had a lot of amazing innovators and storytellers

LADY...with Lionel Ritchie...beautiful. Lionel wrote it for Kenny. Tale is Lionel finished the song while in the bathroom 🤣. You will love it. Great valentine tune. 🥰 fan from 🇨🇦

This is the same man that asked Home Free to perform Children Go Where I Send Thee. Man was fantastic.

One of my favorite reactions. He is a LEGEND.

Please please do “Coward of the County” - another great story telling song from Kenny Rogers

You will love Coward of the County. Kenny made several Gambler movies.

A great metaphor for life.

Lady and coward of the county( great storytelling) are two good ones of him. Islands in the stream with Dolly Parton is a country classic! Lionel Ritchie and Kenny rogers were great friends. Such a respectful, genuine friendship to see videos of them together.

Kenny Roger's actually starred in a string of movies called The Gambler. Which is where this song is from. The movies are funny. Kenny is as good of an actor as he is a singer. You are amazing, I look forward to your videos everyday!❤❤

This is literally one of my all time favorite singers & songs!!!

You gotta react to his live version of Lady .. white suit .. he will knock your socks off w his vocals !! Lionel Richie and Kenny wrote it .. Lionel called him and said he had a song he wanted Kenny to .. so Kenny, being that smart guy he was , dropped what he was doing and flew to Lionel in Vegas and together they made country music history !!

SO glad you picked this one!! NOW you need to listen to when Home Free paired up with Kenny Rogers to sing a song together!! Orange juice is ON fire!!

As a Home Fry, you gotta check out Home Free’s version of The Gambler! They do their thing with it like no one else can! 🔥🔥🔥

"Lady" Live in his white suit is beautiful Lionel Ritchie wrote the song for him! "Coward Of The County" Tells a great story! Love all of his still have so many of my 8 tracks from back then LOL -- My son plays Texas Holdem - Pro Poker for a few years now! He's done well but you know Poker to me is a very complicated sport! Many argue is it chance lucky or skill or all ..... My son stopped playing so much because he felt it got so repetative no matter how he played it.... and He is a very SMART Player!!!! & always walked away even or up! Anyway Thanks for the reaction -

R.I.P.Kenny! This man was a hunk and his voice was so smooth and commanding. So glad i got to grow up on his music. Love your reviews and Thanks for sharing.

Kenny Rogers is a legend and we lost him recently (RIP). He and Lionel Richie were great friends and one of Kenny’s biggest hits was written by Lionel. It’s called “Lady” and you should check it out. There’s a great live version available. Nice reaction 🌺✌️

Kenny and Home Free did a song together not too long before he died. "Children Go Where I Send Thee" it is a toe tapping rendition. You might want to check it out. No matter how old Kenny got, he never lost his voice.

Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers is a must reaction, it's a roller coaster of a ride but you won't regret it.

He also collaborated with Home Free on "Children, Go Where I Send Thee". Good reaction!

Mom has taken me to see Kenny 5 times !! I swear !! All the women loved Kenny .. RIP Kenny .. he just passed last year !! He also has the best selling country duet ever w Dolly called Islands in the Stream .. live version .. they good together ! She same and sang w him at one of his concerts !! She’s so amazing !!

Kenny was a country music OG who we lost a few years. He has a huge catalog of music. This is probably one of the best known. It was in the movie Maverick. So was he, Kenny had a small role.

'Coward of the County'official video! And 'Lady', both live on his own and with Lionel Ritchie live!!!!!

I grew up listening to Kenny, you've got to definitely do Coward of the County next, Lady is good so is Lucille

Kenny also has a song with Dolly Parton called “Islands in the Stream” that was voted CMT’s number 1 duet of all time

Kenny Rogers Last 10 Years is a really good song to listen to

Kenny Rogers is my Favourite County singer. Great story telling in his spngs. Been listening to him since I was kid. My parents use to play it alot, didn't understand what he singing about but as soon as I did , loved it with. One of my favorites is 'COWARD OF THE COUNTY' I Would love you to react to it and we can share 'em orange juice together

Kenny Roger's sang a song with Home Free it's called Children, Go Where I Send Thee. It's beautiful... Great reaction as usual

Enjoyed listening to your experience on cards and gambling and life. Good reaction.

Home Free did a duet with Kenny not long before he died called Children Go Where I Send Thee...and after the video he tells how he met Home Free 😄 ....love Kenny. Listen to his duet with Dolly Parton, Islands In The Stream, classic. I used to have his Gambler album 😊

Life lessons is what the gambler is teaching. The song is a metaphor for life in general.

One the greatest top tier country singers ever!!

Home Free? Did a version AND he sang with them 'Children Go Where I Send Thee'. One of the last recordings he did. I love it, still had a spark & they adored singing with him.

My son works at a casino here in Missouri. He’s not a big gambler but he’s a good dealer. ☮️❤️👵🏼

You are one of my favorite reactors! Always interesting to hear what you've done! You were a dealer okay! That's a crazy life.

Dude! I am loving these reactions! You’re great! So fun

I love your reaction videos! Please keep doing this!

So glad you did this song!!

" I Feel Sorry For Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight" the duet with Dotty West is my favorite duet that he ever did. Rip Kenny.

They did a couple TV movies based on this character & Kenny isn't a bad actor. In this video the gambler dies in his sleep, as he hoped. LOL I know you have watched him sing 'Lady', since you did this one, but I would love to see you react to him singing lady with Lionel Richie in Las Vegas before Kenny passed. It is amazing, since Lionel wrote it & they both recorded it. The performance is at a country awards show & the love of these two men & their 30+ year friendship is a beautiful thing to witness.

This is not literally about a card game. is a metaphor for life. This song was selected to be in the National Musical Registry of the Library op Congress as being culturally and musically significant. Now you need to do COWARD OF THE COUNTY, LUCILLE, and LADY.

When I do go to a casino, which is rare, I go with the attitude of how much am I willing to spend on entertainment tonight? I got $200 for a few hours of fun is how I go in there. That way I'm not too bummed leaving broke 😉 LOVE KENNY!! Lady killer back in the day!

Slow Dance More, The Greatest, and Coward of the County are my Top 3 other Kenny Rogers choices personally.

I first started listening to Kenny when he was with the First Edition. Had a 33 1/3 LP of his recordings. Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in, Rueben James, Ruby, don't take your love to town. Early 70's. Yes, I am that old, lol. I think I lived through the best musical time. No auto tune, just pure talent.

AB, I love your channel!! You are too much fun!! 😉

I really enjoyed this video. It's great to watch you discover music that's been a part of my life for a long time. I get to hear it like it's the first time. Well done, I hope you do more of Kenny's music. Have a great day!

Never was a huge fan of country music however, after hearing this new “country” and not by choice, heard it at work in the past, the old country sounds better and better. Do “Lucille” next.

Love Kenny! You need to hear him sing Lady! A definite must! 😍

HEwas one of the greatest story tellers ever

Speaking of telling stories, Coward of the County - Kenny Rogers

Want to hear him tell a couple of more stories? Listen to these: “Ruby Don’t Take Your Love To Town” and “The Coward Of The County”.

OMG-your story after ( yeah, but why are you singing??) 😂😂😂
