Kenny Rogers set the standard for this song!!! In my opinion, no matter how many covers are done on the song, Kenny is the one who kills it! He owns this song! RIP Kenny
Amen better preach Kenny Rogers owned this song whenever anyone hears Lady they say " Kenny Rogers I loved his vibrato and how he held the notes 🎙🎼🎶🎵 🔥🙌
I agree. Lionel and Kenny both are great on this and Teddy was good but not as good. The very best version is Kenny and Lionel doing it together with Kenny telling the back story. Those 2 men act like they love each other so much it was touching. Kenny alone here is my 2nd fav. version . Lionel is such a special man.
It's so interesting to me that I knew Lionel Richie had written that somg BEFORE I ever knew for sure! How crazy is that! I love them both - and the writing of this some is 100% Lionel Richie! Kenny Rogers - oh how I love that man, does such an amazing job delievering this to hearts all over the world. Every girl wants to hear this from her man!
Kenny is the best on singing Lady and lionel those two thier are the Best two that sings the song Kenny is know for this song Lionel wrote it for him and he Sung it Better than any one it fit Kenny and his voice
I cry everytime I hear this song has special meaning to me. This was the song I played when I proposed to my late wife in 1984 she died just a few weeks after Kenny. I was just a guitar player in my band but I sung this song with all I had at the end of our gig then I proposed to her. Think God she said yes.. it was the best 35 years. Rip Teresa baby. 😭
@@deborahbryan3639 yes it was a fairytale love story. I'll be alone the rest of my life. She died of cancer from the time we found out she had cancer until the time she passed away was only 3 months. it was a nightmare. thank you deborah..
Geez, I know that was painful. That was quick, you really didn't even have time to adjust to hearing she had cancer until she was gone. While we may be here crying our eyes out, she is probably up there having a grand ole time laughing, meeting people she knew and wanted to know and of course listening to some beautiful music. That's the way I picture it. Get out and stay busy enjoying the time you have left. One day you will see her again and she will ask, what have you been doing? Fulfill that bucket list, if you don't have one, make one and when you're ready don't do it alone.
Im sure Teresa was over the moon when her rockstar guitar player boyfriend turned into her rockstar husband! Thank you for sharing this story 🙏🏽 Teresa is most definitely smiling down on you when you hear this song
In a 2012 Lionel Richie tribute (where Lionel & Kenny beautifully sing Lady together), Kenny begins with the back story. He & Lionel didn’t know each other, when Kenny called Lionel, to write a song for his new album. When they met for the 1st time, in Kenny’s hotel room in Vegas, Lionel had a bit of a song (just 1 word, “Lady” & a bit of melody), which had been rejected by the Commadores. 6 months later, in the studio, Kenny recorded the 1st verse, asked where the 2nd verse was, & found out that Lionel was in the toilet, writing the rest of the song. In a later interview, Lionel adds to the story, making it even funnier. He said, the 1 word he had was actually “Baby”, but when they met, Kenny kept going on & on about his wife, repeatedly calling her “a Lady”, so when Kenny asked the name of the song, Lionel blurted out “Lady.”
The song was going to be Baby, the Commodores already had a song called Lady (you pick me up when I'm down). Thus he heard Kenny talking about his new Lady and reworked it. The Commodores were originally a Funk Band, I think they felt Lionel was trying to lead them in too far of a different direction. So, Lionel probably understands the Commodores could never have two songs called Lady.
Um sorry they did know each other. Kenny Rodgers and the first edition played for the same lable as lionel Ritchie back in the 60's they were the best if friends way back. I watched it all I was 16 the first time I ever heard Kenny singing Ruby ,Don't take your love to town. And I was 17 when I first heard Lionel.
@@diannegrimm9973 Kenny & Lionel repeatedly said they met in 1980 & they should know. Kenny, at 2012 Lionel tribute, “Lionel & I met 32 years ago, right here in Las Vegas.” As far as being on the same label back then; 1st Edition was on Reprise. When Kenny went solo, he moved to United Artists. Lionel/The Commodores released their 1st album on Atlantic. Nov. 1972, they moved to Motown, where they stayed till 1985, when they moved to Polydor. Lionel released solo albums on Motown 1982-1986, then moved to Mercury.
Nah not even close.. Its was a nice gimmick for them to do it together but there is only one version of this song & that's Kenny's.. After all Lionel did write it for Kenny knowing only Kenny could sing it right..
Screw the Commodores man. You know their asses were HURTING when Lionel left because his solo career took off like a bat outta hell. They made a really bad move letting that guy go, but I, glad they went their separate ways. Lionel is the MAN! To this day I still cannot believe they turned down this amazing, beautiful song.
No no....it was never wrote for the comodores...kenny asked lionel if he could when he had time to write a song for his new upcoming album..lionel wrote this song spieceficly for Kenny
@@connerhenson8742 Correct. Kenny actually asked Lionel if he had a song like "Three Times a Lady" that he could record. According to Kenny and Lionel both, Lionel told Kenny he didnt have time to write him a song. Kenny told him he would make him a millionaire if he wrote it for him. Lionel wrote the first verse and the chorus in the bathroom in 5 minutes.
No he did not write this song for the Commodores he just said lady then they turned it down he wrote the song in the toilet with Kenny Rogers in the studio together
I'm a 63 year old mother/grandmother and I have a daughter who is now 35. I remember loving the hell out of this song when she was roughly 2 or 3 and I would dance with her around the kitchen with her in my arms, singing to this song and rocking her to sleep. Yes even today, she is still my little lady.
RIP Kenny...i grew up listening to him ..that raspy vibrato was his signature...and he and Lionel Ritchie became best friends..Lionel wrote alot of Kenny's number 1 hits over the years...both of them fantastic singers but a duo of them is mind blowing ..there are a few videos of them singing together if you want to check them out
Lionel is an absolute genius. I wouldn’t call him underrated, but a lot of people look past him. One of my favorite artists and songwriters ever. Legend.
This song came out when I met my husband-we danced in the bar to it. Married 27 years when he died & this song will forever remind me of his love for me.
One of my favorite videos on UA-cam is watching Kenny share a tribute to Lionel Ritchie and tell the audience about how he asked Lionel to write the song for him, and parts of the story were really funny. Then Lionel gets on stage, and he and Kenny sing this song together. It was so good! You should watch it.
First of all, kudos to Lionel Ritchie for writing such a beautiful song. You have two great singers from two totally different genres who interpret this song in their own styles. For me, Kenny's version is more refined and romantic, whereas Teddy's version is very raw and hella sexy! Both men did an outstanding job with this incredible classic, but because Lionel wrote it with Kenny in mind, he may have a slight edge IMO. Miss them both.
Teddy has been one of my favorite vocalists since the "Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes" days, and he does to a great cover of this song. In this case I have to agree with you, though.
This is definitely Kenny's song!!!! Teddy and so many others sang their hearts out on this one, and they did beautiful renditions of it, but what can I say... Kenny Rogers also did some amazing songs with Dolly Parton. And yes Kenny, growl at me some more! Good morning, Kenny 🤣😝🥰 You did it again, Royce!
I totally just did....and I was a little kid when he sang this. If someone sang this to me the way Kenny sang this, I would pretty much just marry him on the spot.
The gravel in his voice singing this song is what sets it apart from any cover that has been done and/or will be done. It's sensational. Also lovely just to sit and see you react as he's singing that song. All round your video just made my day! Keep up the great channel.
When I hear Kenny singing this song, it's like I'm hearing Lionel in there too, which makes it extra special to me. Kudos to Mr Richie for writing such an amazing, timeless song!
In concert he used to play the video of his wife Marianne giving birth...it was AMAZING! Thank goodness I was blessed to see him in concert 6 times!! ALWAYS fantastic!! RIP Kenny!!
Man that’s some love he sings with, it’s palpable. Kenny is one of the best country has to offer, Teddy is that to R&B, each masters of their artistry 👏👏👏♥️
My mom was a huge Kenny fan (my dad could’ve been his twin and was a musician himself). This his brings back the memories of countless beach trips with her! Thanks for piloting this time machine ❤️
He will be always with us, once created it can not be uncreated only forgotten , but he just like the rest of us will be with our creator for ever . God bless you all
I was fortunate to see Kenny Rogers sing this Live In Las Vegas. (Back when a Friday Night date meant catching a Show, out on the Strip) Love seeing you, talking about a powerful love, and really putting sincere thoughts into your reaction. I'm a fan. (of YOU) ;)
I was fortunate enough to see one of his shows from this tour. Chicago area. We forgot to look at the letter where our car was, so we were waiting for most people to leave. A few guys came up and we told them this. He invited us to a party and promised to bring us back later. Imagine our surprise when we got in the huge bus owned by Kenny. Yes! Me and a girlfriend partied with Kenny at a Hilton. Kenny made them take us back, they did, in the big luxury bus. They drove that bad boy around until we found our car. My claim to fame 😍
I also saw a few shows in Vegas. Righteous Brothers, front row (shooting craps has its advantages) and the Moody Blues (good seats, first booth seat) . Different years in the very early 90s. We also saw Bob Hope in Atlantic City. I think he was 98 at the time. Maybe 96. I'll have to ask my brother what year we went. I went several times. He only went the once. He was old is my point.
Girl I love every single move you make every word you say every emotion from you ...you are sooo sweet inside out...keep it up wish you sweet moments always
This was such a big hit for Kenny Rogers who sang it with so much passion and with such a sexy voice. It is one of the best love songs of all time! Lionel Ritchie is a genius for writing it!
Teddy put his heart into this song He definitely put his mark in it. I understand how hard it would be to chose the best. But to me it would have to be Kenny because it was his song. Really there was only a few songs that I liked by Kenny I wasn't a big county guy but the one he did with dolly Parton showed his skills. My band was Strictly hard rock southern rock.. lynard skyrnd. ZZ Top. and of course my friend Stevie ray Vaughan that i was lucky enough to jam with a few times in Austin Texas in the early 80s. I would love to see you react to him doing Texas Flood live if you never seen him check him out...when the king of blues BB King is blowed away that's saying something.. RIP Stevie 😇🤘😎
Kenny and Teddy ; both great singers, two unique voices. Every singer is challenged in making the song “their” song, their version. Good review and you are correct in the fact that it’s a hard choice to make on who does it the best! Keep up the good work.
Aren't you glad that you were so privileged to have been able to listened and see these artists shared their talents..I know I have!!... these are singers that come around once in a blue moon!!!
@@RogueRxyce, if you liked this song from Kenny, then could you react to "The Gambler " and the Coward of the County " by Kenny Rogers? It'll give you a range of his story telling abilities. Both are loved by so many people who have heard them. This coming from a man who used to own Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits, on vinyl. Ps, love your smile and your reactions. Just found you. Much love.
And NOW you need to react to two more versions. First Lionel singing it solo, and then both Lionel and Kenny singing it together as they were best friends
Great reaction! I’ve always loved this song especially Kenny’s version. When him and Lionel perform this at the tribute show was the best! But this song is written for beautiful women like you! You can see the joy of music and of life on your face 😘 when you hear something that sounds good! Thanks for the OG reactions 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
My fiance has changed every aspect of my life. I spent the first half being the center of my universe with walls a mile high and a mile thick. After 15 years of friendship we got closer, closer, closer during my Covid layoff. We spent many days on messenger for hours and sometimes a majority of the day. She is everything to me and I have given her the second half on my life. I have yielded my heart and soul to her. She is making me a husband and a daddy. That's more than I ever accomplished. She is more than just the love of my life - she's my lady.
You should check out the Commodores song “Still.” Lionel Richie wrote the song Kenny just sang but he also wrote a lot of other songs for The Commodores. Some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever listened to. Lionel was born and grew up about 30 miles from my hometown.
Great reaction to a timeless love song! I agree with your analysis of both Kenny and Teddy. The one thing that may give Kenny the edge, is that he was truly singing to his wife. The feels where real. Also, many don't know that Lionel and his wife stayed in Kenny's guest house when they initially moved to LA. They developed a great friendship.
With permission , it’s the way men once were! And maybe they still are. For those are the guys that are sincere and express themselves honestly . This tune is from the heart wanting ,yet asking. You get that Angel and I appreciate your reaction for it is deeply felt, understood and known to those who see love for what it’s supposed to be, always .
Don't let Kenny's appearance fool you...anyone who grew up during this Era and on R&B music would never connect Teddy to this song! This song was not only a HUGE success, its an iconic song. Yes, Kenny Rogers AND Lionel Ritchie were that great. Legends in the music industry!
He only sung it once then got into his accident of course no one would connect Teddy to it most haven't heard his version. Imo Teddy has the best version by far but to each is own
it's really a very beautiful song it's one of my favorite songs that I love to hear it between period and period and the most beautiful here is the wonderful performance and sing for the singer Kenny Rogers
I can tell you this. When he originally sung it in an evening show on TV all my friends and I couldn’t stop talking about his performance in school. He really nailed it!
I love Lionel Richie but the passion and execution of "Lady" by Kenny Rogers is something else. This song was made for him and him for this song... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Hard to beat the original singer when he has so much feeling already invested in a song since it is so close to his heart. Lionel is such a unbelievable writer and wrote this perfectly for Kenny about his new love in his life. Kenny could take the song to its zenith.
One of the most memorable voices to ever perform! This song always gets me tearing up, because Kenny Rogers will never perform for anybody again! RIP Kenny Rogers!

Totally agree with you. I must say we had some beautiful love songs when I was growing up in the 70s
I recommend Teddy Pendergrass version to put him in your List
@@ruthervillalba4737 Seen it. Not even close. Lionel Ritchie's version is 2nd behind KR's.
i totally agree this is one of those songs that can be done by anybody but will never be improved on.
These were the days when we sang to women and not about them.

I learn something new every day! thanks
Girl I love every single move you make every word you say every emotion from you ...you are sooo sweet inside out...keep it up wish you sweet moments always
This was such a big hit for Kenny Rogers who sang it with so much passion and with such a sexy voice. It is one of the best love songs of all time! Lionel Ritchie is a genius for writing it!
Favorite love song that makes me lose it everytime. Miss you, Kenny. Thank you for this beautiful song. 🌹
Teddy put his heart into this song He definitely put his mark in it. I understand how hard it would be to chose the best. But to me it would have to be Kenny because it was his song. Really there was only a few songs that I liked by Kenny I wasn't a big county guy but the one he did with dolly Parton showed his skills. My band was Strictly hard rock southern rock.. lynard skyrnd. ZZ Top. and of course my friend Stevie ray Vaughan that i was lucky enough to jam with a few times in Austin Texas in the early 80s. I would love to see you react to him doing Texas Flood live if you never seen him check him out...when the king of blues BB King is blowed away that's saying something.. RIP Stevie 😇🤘😎
Islands in the Stream, Kenny and Dolly!
They both sang it their way, both are extremely talented & I enjoy both renditions.
Kenny and Teddy ; both great singers, two unique voices. Every singer is challenged in making the song “their” song, their version. Good review and you are correct in the fact that it’s a hard choice to make on who does it the best! Keep up the good work.
Aren't you glad that you were so privileged to have been able to listened and see these artists shared their talents..I know I have!!... these are singers that come around once in a blue moon!!!
When I first heard this song I was wishing he was singing it to just me.
a girl can dream 😜
@@RogueRxyce, if you liked this song from Kenny, then could you react to "The Gambler " and the Coward of the County " by Kenny Rogers? It'll give you a range of his story telling abilities. Both are loved by so many people who have heard them. This coming from a man who used to own Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits, on vinyl. Ps, love your smile and your reactions. Just found you. Much love.
@@RogueRxyce Haha. You're funny! 😊
Glad to see him live in Reno couple years ago.
And NOW you need to react to two more versions. First Lionel singing it solo, and then both Lionel and Kenny singing it together as they were best friends
Hi from London UK.
Kenny, pure class, an incredibly beautiful voice singing a timeless classic. Rlp Brother x
Kenny had one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard no one can sing this song better than him R.I.P Kenny
Kenny sings it best. I have heard many covers, even Lionel's but this song will always be Kenny's Lionel wrote it for Kenny.
That man can sing !!!! And thankfully showed the world. Simply beautiful!!!!
Great reaction! I’ve always loved this song especially Kenny’s version. When him and Lionel perform this at the tribute show was the best! But this song is written for beautiful women like you! You can see the joy of music and of life on your face 😘 when you hear something that sounds good! Thanks for the OG reactions 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Brings me back to the days when I just used to listen to Kenny's songs on repeat. RIP Kenny Rogers.
My fiance has changed every aspect of my life. I spent the first half being the center of my universe with walls a mile high and a mile thick. After 15 years of friendship we got closer, closer, closer during my Covid layoff. We spent many days on messenger for hours and sometimes a majority of the day. She is everything to me and I have given her the second half on my life. I have yielded my heart and soul to her. She is making me a husband and a daddy. That's more than I ever accomplished. She is more than just the love of my life - she's my lady.
Kenny..All Respect. R.I.P..This Song,,WOW..One of my top ten For Real Love songs. You Can’t Go Wrong With This...😎
Make That Top Three..😎
You should check out the Commodores song “Still.” Lionel Richie wrote the song Kenny just sang but he also wrote a lot of other songs for The Commodores. Some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever listened to. Lionel was born and grew up about 30 miles from my hometown.
Still is my favorite Commodores song, hands down. It is so beautifully written and Lionel's vocals brings it all the way home.
“Still” and “Sail On” get me every time. I lost my dad when I was eight and those songs were very popular at the time.
Oh, my yes, the song "Still" is just as awesome as Lady.
Absolutely love 'Still' by the Commodores!
Love watching your reactions. You are a truly beautiful lady
Great reaction to a timeless love song! I agree with your analysis of both Kenny and Teddy. The one thing that may give Kenny the edge, is that he was truly singing to his wife. The feels where real. Also, many don't know that Lionel and his wife stayed in Kenny's guest house when they initially moved to LA. They developed a great friendship.
He makes you feel he is singing to you❤️wow❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
With permission , it’s the way men once were! And maybe they still are. For those are the guys that are sincere and express themselves honestly . This tune is from the heart wanting ,yet asking.
You get that Angel and I appreciate your reaction for it is deeply felt, understood and known to those who see love for what it’s supposed to be, always .
Rest in peace brother. You produced a song that touches ones heart. An ode to love. Thank you.
Don't let Kenny's appearance fool you...anyone who grew up during this Era and on R&B music would never connect Teddy to this song!
This song was not only a HUGE success, its an iconic song. Yes, Kenny Rogers AND Lionel Ritchie were that great.
Legends in the music industry!
He only sung it once then got into his accident of course no one would connect Teddy to it most haven't heard his version. Imo Teddy has the best version by far but to each is own
it's really a very beautiful song it's one of my favorite songs that I love to hear it between period and period and the most beautiful here is the wonderful performance and sing for the singer Kenny Rogers
Lionel wrote it. Kenny changed the word "Baby" to "Lady". Kenny was newly married I believe at the time of this song.
I can tell you this. When he originally sung it in an evening show on TV all my friends and I couldn’t stop talking about his performance in school. He really nailed it!
I love Lionel Richie but the passion and execution of "Lady" by Kenny Rogers is something else. This song was made for him and him for this song... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
With all due respect to Teddy and even the MAN himself who wrote this ballad.............Kenny ..OWNS this song . :)
Hard to beat the original singer when he has so much feeling already invested in a song since it is so close to his heart.
Lionel is such a unbelievable writer and wrote this perfectly for Kenny about his new love in his life. Kenny could take the song to its zenith.
One of the most memorable voices to ever perform! This song always gets me tearing up, because Kenny Rogers will never perform for anybody again! RIP Kenny Rogers!
Remember Kenny’s was the first version, Teddy was working off of what he saw Kenny do.
The light that you bring, the light that you bring!!! Daamn I love you Rogue ⚘️
How about Bee Gees song they wrote for Kenny and Dolly Parton. "Islands in the stream" I think it was called.
I just found your channel and have binge watching your reactions. Its priceless.
If this song doesn't float a woman's boat, nothing can
Awesome! Beautiful! Stunning! ... and the song was pretty good too. 😍
There is another version of this where kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie sang this song together
That growl and rasp- it’s to die for. He let us know it’s his song!
