Kenny Rogers Lady Reaction 1. I love the flow of the song. 2. Is this the beginning of the power ballad? I looked it up and I think I'm off. I don't think this is the start of it but I def think this could be considered a precursor to it.
My guess is no i am old enough to recall that era. I would suggest the power ballads started in 70s. Clive Davis stated that one of the reasons he signed Dionne Warwick because he was getting tons of demos which needed big vocals singers. But the 80s was the epic period of power ballads.
Also, more of his best love songs are "She Believes In Me", "You Decorated My Life", "Through The Years", "Sweet Music Man", "I Don't Need You", jeez, the list goes on and on. He was a legend in his own time for sure. Thank you for checking out Kenny Rogers! Awesome!
By far my favorite Kenny Rogers song - When Lionel was the lead for the Commodores he pitched this song to them and they turned it down - Kenny accepted and it became a world wide hit.
There have always been love songs, which is what this is. Power Ballad the term, is specific to bands that were known for having loud rock songs. Rock bands and for the most part Heavy Metal bands. The first acknowledged power ballad is Open Arms by Journey. Later Power Ballads were Heavy Metal bands (more specifically Hair Metal) like Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison.
My very first boyfriend dedicated this song to me. He actually meant it. But I was so young and clueless. When we met up again 8 years later at my sister’s wedding, I had been married a year to my college sweetheart. This first boyfriend, still friends with my brother, asked me for a dance. He asked me half way through the dance why I never married him instead. He said he asked me to marry him through this song. You know what? 42 years later, I bet if I had married him, we would still be married today. Our families are still good friends, and he has always been a sweet guy. So glad he finally married and has two sons. Still married to their mom 23 years later.
Random comment, note the name. The brother of my uncle's wife is a country music producer that works with Lionel Richie. He knows his sister loves Lionel so he asked him to call her once. It made her very 😊 . That really doesn't have anything to do with this video. I do miss Kenny. RIP.
Kenny Rodgers has been around since the 60s he is so good💞💞. Bee gets wrote a song for Kenny. And Kenny said it should be a duet. Barry said ok. But who? Kenny said dolly part in. The song was a hit. (Islands in the stream).💖💖💖
Kenny Rogers has stated in an interview that when recording that song for the album, he had been singing it so much that he didn't like the song or want to include on the album. Barry Gibb suggested that it needed Dolly and she just happened to be in the building. She joined in...the rest is magical music history.
Listen to his album ( Eyes That See In The Dark ) which was written by the bee gees , which includes great song such as ( islands on the stream , you and I , this woman , I will always love you , evening star , hold me ) the album is perfect
@@jaybrielakoi7747 I think they are listed as Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. Check out Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town or Just Dropped In. These are from 1967 and 1969
A power ballad is a "ballad" or soft rock/mellow rock that incorporates elements of hard rock/metal within its structure. An excellent example of this is "Winds of Change" by the Scorpions that was released in 1981. A note on the song: I was still active duty military (24 1/2 years) when the Berlin wall came down. That was a very profound and emotional event in history for those of us, and our families, who stood ready to go to war against that wall and what is stood for. Here is a link to the song if you would like to hear it. ua-cam.com/video/n4RjJKxsamQ/v-deo.html
Ohhh man. See when. I was active duty the worry was North Korea. We all know when North Korea attacks Seoul will be leveled but prepping and getting there to push back the North Koreans will be a bad war especially if it's winter.
@@jaybrielakoi7747 Wow man, the situation in Korea is insane. Like you said, if North Korea makes on move on the south, Seoul is doomed. I never made it to PACAF, I did spend 14 years in Europe though. I spent 10 years in the Netherlands and 4 years in Germany. Oh, I just realized that I put the wrong release date for "Wind of Change" it came out in 1990. Just one more little tidbit, I play euphonium too, bass clef. Since you went from trumpet to euphonium I imagine that you play treble clef.
Jaybriel Akoi ok but remember the rule: no live performance. Studio recording. I’ll give you a link to make it easy for you: ua-cam.com/video/UaNGtgYwSsU/v-deo.html The song was recorded with Dolly Parton as a duet, btw
Jaybriel Akoi I just notice how he has the microphone close to his mouth then to for a softer sound he pulls it down to almost an arms length. Most professional singers do know about mic placement but this video gives a good view of it. By the way Kenny is someone I have enjoyed listening to for many, many years.

Gorgeous 😍
Ohhh nowww. Mmmm... this man, Mr. Kenny Rogers, can melt a heart 10x over. He and Lionel Richie, oh my... whew... pure gold.
Still my number one song by kenny after 40 years... R.I.P Sir.
Also, more of his best love songs are "She Believes In Me", "You Decorated My Life", "Through The Years", "Sweet Music Man", "I Don't Need You", jeez, the list goes on and on. He was a legend in his own time for sure. Thank you for checking out Kenny Rogers! Awesome!

Love Kenny!!! Great vid!!!🎶💖🔥
What every woman wants to hear . 💝
By far my favorite Kenny Rogers song - When Lionel was the lead for the Commodores he pitched this song to them and they turned it down - Kenny accepted and it became a world wide hit.
Commodores. Ya I gotta check them out too.
Great reaction to the late Mr. Kenny Rogers! What an awesome singer he was!!

If you want a power ballad "Faithfully" by Journey fits the bill.
Oooh yes. I still listen to "Faithfully" faithfully. 😉 One of the best power ballads of all time.
If you listen to Lionel Richie’s music, this is his style of music....and something he sings a lot!
I know who Lionel is but not super familiar enough with his work.
Random comment, note the name. The brother of my uncle's wife is a country music producer that works with Lionel Richie. He knows his sister loves Lionel so he asked him to call her once. It made her very 😊 .
That really doesn't have anything to do with this video. I do miss Kenny. RIP.
power ballads been around for awhile think elvis love me tender
He did songs earlier RUBY and YOU PICKED A FINE TIME TO LEAVE ME LUCILLE and if you get a chance to watch those you won't regret it 🎶 😉

Kenny had said after all the times he sang this song he still didn't know what it was about.😃😃😃
@@carolclements1275still a great song.
I'm doing that one.
Listen to his album ( Eyes That See In The Dark ) which was written by the bee gees , which includes great song such as ( islands on the stream , you and I , this woman , I will always love you , evening star , hold me ) the album is perfect
Roger! I'll start with that album.
Don't forget the song Buried Treasure from this album. Fantastic, trust me
Great song bro
Kenny Rogers was known as the silver Fox.
Great reaction, would you do a Elvis reaction. Suspicious minds or Polk salad Annie from his 1970 performance in Vegas. I promise you will enjoy them
There were power ballads starting in the 60's.....
Before he went solo and country he sang with The First Edition.
just looked them up and ya....I don't know First Edition.

Are you still considering doing reactions to Journey?
By the way, If you do any more Kenny Rogers, make it ‘Islands in the Stream’
Alright I'll do that one.
Jaybriel Akoi ok but remember the rule: no live performance. Studio recording. I’ll give you a link to make it easy for you: ua-cam.com/video/UaNGtgYwSsU/v-deo.html

This video showcases how to handle a microphone so it works for you.
What do you mean?!

Granted it is strong, but not what I would think of as a power ballad. That tended to refer to more rock-centric tunes. This is more pop-oriented.
No it’s a LOVE BALAD
