Written by Lionel Richie released by Kenny in 1980 and then by Lionel in 1998. Both had big hits with this song. Kenny has a long catalogue. Many from the 70's. The Gambler, Lucille, She Believes In Me (beautiful song), Coward of the County to name a few. (showing my age LOL) Great react. Love the channel
You decorated my life, Love will turn you around (1982), What about me? duet with Kim Carnes (1984), Morning desire (1985), Twenty years ago (1986), I prefer the moonlight (1987), Planet Texas (1989)
No disrespect to you, or Lionel (I love his music) - but he never got anywhere near the same chart listing with this song. It would be like Kenny singing 'Hello". I'd be curious to hear him, but that song will ALWAYS be Lionel Richie's. And this song will ALWAYS be Kenny Rogers'
Now you need to do "Islands in the Stream" Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's. Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. Love this song!! Thank you for the reaction!
@@darealadogg yeah go down the kenny rogers rabbit hole lol check out some of his older ones with dottie west after the dolly ones as Dolly is the best ever
Back in our day, our Artist didn’t need a bunch of half naked women running on stage, twerking and doing all kinds of nastiness, or cursing to get the crowd to go wild… It was just pure and extraordinary voices with beautiful musical instruments and lovely clean lyrics to make everyone in the room go absolutely nuts over the artist… Kenny Rogers, The Bee Gees and a thousand other talented artists filled jammed pack stadiums simply by singing… Whenever you hear an old timer like me say that today’s music is not good music, hopefully you’ll be able to understand why we say that… I’m not saying all of today’s music is bad, but a lot of it is junk, when I hear young kids singing some of the lyrics out today, I literally cringe… Anyway, I’m soooo happy for your reaction to Kenny… God bless… Thank You ❤ I’m so happy to see this generation willing to go back in time and learn of our music, not only to learn but to see them react emotionally and to enjoy what there grandparents and parents listened to back in our era… It’s a beautiful thing…❤
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream - excellent song by both of them !!! view a live presentation because they had so much chemistry !!
Absolutely one of the finest voices ever. Love his match up with Home Free, Children Go Where I Send Thee. The Gambler, Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town. So many great songs.
❤the first time I heard this song 🎵 I was driving and I had to pull over. Kenny Roger's has a way of calming you down, his.voice is just what you need to ease your mind so you can sleep at night.
Hard to believe you've never heard of Kenny, one of the smoothest singers of all time. Kenny is one of the biggest selling singers of all time, and had a LONG career, with The New Christy Minstrels in the mid 60s to First Edition from the late 60s into the mid 70s and as a solo artist from the mid 70s all the way to his passing last year. His signature song is The Gambler.
Wow. This took me waaayyyy back! My mom LOVED Kenny Rogers and would have him on all the time in her car, driving me to school. Him and Dolly Parton. I know they have a duet together but don't quite remember the name. My educated guess is that it's called Islands in the Stream, but I may be wrong. Great reaction!🎶🎶🎤🎶🎶
There's that look that a singer gets when they know that they mailed a performance. Kenny Rogers had it at the end of that and so did Bobby Hatfield at the end of Unchained Melody. And then there's a look a singer gives right before a performance that says "You're not ready for the ride I'm about to take you on right now". Freddy Mercury had that at the beginning of "Someone to Love". He looks at the camera for that split second and he knows.
This song fit his voice, Lionel knew who this was meant for. Love this song. Good memories. Thank you. I REALLY enjoy your reactions. I am a senior that has always had music in my life..continue on! 👏👏
Lionel wrote this for Kenny. Kenny Rogers helped Lionel with his career and they became very close friends until Kenny's death. RIP Kenny Rogers...awesome performer.
Yes this man was so sexy singing this song 😝😝😝 Kenny Rogers also had a band called Kenny Rogers and the first addition. A song Just Drop in to see what condish what condish was in.You will have to check it out.
This is a different universe of music. He has no earpiece in, no auto tune, hell he doesn't even have a wireless mic! Vocally this is as pure as it gets, and they don't write songs like this anymore. R I P Kenny 🙏
Lionel Richie wrote this for the Commodores - the band he was in. They didn't want it. Lionel Richie was friends and asked Kenny Rogers if he would sing it and he immediately said yes!
I LOVE the end when he throws the mic cord over his shoulder and walks away like “Yeah, I killed that shit!”...😁 I just love your reactions; SO genuine man....and your smile is VERY infectious and I look forward to it! Hey brutha, don’t forget about my request awhile back, it was Steelheart’s “She’s Gone” or “I’ll Never Let You Go” either one(official video), though their live performances back the were as good or better. You won’t be sorry I promise my friend! Hope you are doing well my friend!
When I was 13 in 1983 I won a radio contest and the prize was Kenny Roger's Gambler vinyl. It was my first record. I had to be the 9th caller. Back then the phones were rotary. I had the fastest fingers in the midwest🤣
I found you about an hour ago by accident just scrolling thru reactions and I love you. Your reactions are honest and true. It is refreshing to see the younger generation enjoying what I grew up on. Listen to his coward of the county and The last 10 years
He is a country legend . maybe you have heard of the gambler . lionel richie wrote this song for kenny rodgers ! He sang a great duet with dolly parton !keep up the great work ! 😍😍
Lionel Richie wrote the song and offered it to Kenny to record. You need to watch the video of them singing this together live. R.I.P. kenny. You are so very missed.
Lionel Richie and kenny rogers were best friends , kenny actually wrote the first verse. And Lionel wrote the rest of the song , an absolute classic , see when Lionel and kenny sing lady together a year before kenny passed away
Kenny's the man! Had such a crush on him growing up, I was so going to marry him lol....a man that good looking that can sing as well? Kenny and Dolly Parton together were some of the best duets ever :)
Please do me a favor and go to Wikipedia and check out Kenny Rogers. Too many awards /accolades to list here. This man was a LEGEND!!!!!! He sold over 100 million albums worldwide. He had a diamond album, many platinum albums - I think 20 and he had 11 gold albums. He was an amazing artists and an incredibly decent human!!!! He even helped The Eagles get their recording contract. The Eagles were a popular band in the 70's-80's. He sadly passed in 3/2020. RIP Kenny Rogers! You are missed!
Bro, since enjoyed Kenny and I know you really like Home Free you really have to react to their collaboration of Children, Go Where I Send Thee. It will blow your mind!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is written by Lionel Ritchie. Kenny was reluctant to sing it because it's a talking type of singing. React to any Lionel Ritchie the love song writer.
YALL PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO IT WOULD REALLY HELP ME OUT!!! AND DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!
gotta listen to ruby by kenny i think you will dig
RUBY IS THE NAME OF SONG ADOGG
Written by Lionel Richie released by Kenny in 1980 and then by Lionel in 1998. Both had big hits with this song. Kenny has a long catalogue. Many from the 70's. The Gambler, Lucille, She Believes In Me (beautiful song), Coward of the County to name a few. (showing my age LOL) Great react. Love the channel
Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town.
Me too I grew up listening to all those songs
@@davidhohn9106 Yes! How could I forget such a great song?
You decorated my life, Love will turn you around (1982), What about me? duet with Kim Carnes (1984), Morning desire (1985), Twenty years ago (1986), I prefer the moonlight (1987), Planet Texas (1989)

Kenny..
Such a sweetheart beautiful soul. Loved your reaction ❤️🙌🏼💫. In the video where he sings with Lionel they explain how the song was written.
his voice 💜
Your smile said it all. 😊
Now you need to do "Islands in the Stream" Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's. Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. Love this song!! Thank you for the reaction!
I WILL FRANKIE
@@darealadogg yeah go down the kenny rogers rabbit hole lol
check out some of his older ones with dottie west
after the dolly ones as Dolly is the best ever
1985 Seattle Kingdome... Kenny Rogers was my very first live country concert!! LOVED IT! Totally enjoyed Eddie Rabbit, too.
Iconic Legend!
I love this song so much. I love when he and Lionel performed it together. To unforgettable voices- perfection
Back in our day, our Artist didn’t need a bunch of half naked women running on stage, twerking and doing all kinds of nastiness, or cursing to get the crowd to go wild…
It was just pure and extraordinary voices with beautiful musical instruments and lovely clean lyrics to make everyone in the room go absolutely nuts over the artist…
Kenny Rogers, The Bee Gees and a thousand other talented artists filled jammed pack stadiums simply by singing…
Whenever you hear an old timer like me say that today’s music is not good music, hopefully you’ll be able to understand why we say that…
I’m not saying all of today’s music is bad, but a lot of it is junk, when I hear young kids singing some of the lyrics out today, I literally cringe…
Anyway, I’m soooo happy for your reaction to Kenny…
God bless… Thank You ❤
I’m so happy to see this generation willing to go back in time and learn of our music, not only to learn but to see them react emotionally and to enjoy what there grandparents and parents listened to back in our era…
It’s a beautiful thing…❤
Good my asss!!!! Best of the best!!! This is magic!!!! This is heaven on earth!!!
I got a huge smile on my face just by seeing The smile on your face as you listened to this song.... Kenny Rogers was THE Man back in the day!!
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream - excellent song by both of them !!! view a live presentation because they had so much chemistry !!
One of my all time favorites. Peace and loved blessings.
This is one of my favs. He is amazing, R.I.P Kenny.
always loved Kenny and Lionel, great reaction, he was a huge heart throb!!!
Absolutely one of the finest voices ever.
Love his match up with Home Free, Children Go Where I Send Thee.
The Gambler, Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town.
So many great songs.
RIP Kenny---RESPECT
Back when they could sing live because they had talent and put in the WORK … Lionel Ritchie and Kenny were truly best friends,
This song never ceases to give me chills
He was not a new artist. He came out in the 50's. He was a legend!
❤the first time I heard this song 🎵 I was driving and I had to pull over. Kenny Roger's has a way of calming you down, his.voice is just what you need to ease your mind so you can sleep at night.
No autotune. Perfect pitch and control.
Pretty song@
Reminds me of riding around in my moms old station wagon. Lol
Look at that place too! PACKED!!!! He would ALWAYS SELL OUT ARENAS!!!!!!!!

His signature song is The Gambler.
He gives credit to Lionel Ritchie at the beginning. You need to watch when they sing it together. RIP Mr. Kenny.
Wow. This took me waaayyyy back! My mom LOVED Kenny Rogers and would have him on all the time in her car, driving me to school. Him and Dolly Parton. I know they have a duet together but don't quite remember the name. My educated guess is that it's called Islands in the Stream, but I may be wrong. Great reaction!🎶🎶🎤🎶🎶

Kenny Rogers was HUGE IN THE 70-80s , the gambler . Yeah like I read another person say check out ISLANDS IN THE STREAM with Dolly Parton
You know every LADY was like.... "He's singing to me!!!!" Love me some Kenny
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, sung by one of the best there is!
This song fit his voice, Lionel knew who this was meant for. Love this song. Good memories. Thank you. I REALLY enjoy your reactions. I am a senior that has always had music in my life..continue on! 👏👏
Written by Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rodgers to record in 1980
Love love that song !!! Rip Kenny!! 🙏
Lionel wrote this for Kenny. Kenny Rogers helped Lionel with his career and they became very close friends until Kenny's death. RIP Kenny Rogers...awesome performer.
Yes his song. He has many many more. His songs tell a story
I'm a 1970s rock gal, but I can't get enough of this performance.
That man was smooth as shit. I have his albums that are cheerfully worn since the 70s. Thanks for enjoying history.
I also think you'd get a kick outta "The Gambler". I do love Lionel, but the angst in Kenny's voice does it for me on "Lady".

Kenny and Lionel were BFF up until his death, March 2020. Yes, Kenny had a smooth silky, velvet voice.
I love his vocal fry
It was written for him by Lionel Ritchie
Please react to the Tribute where Lionel and Kenny sing Lady together, their friendship is heartwarming.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶💯💯
Thats how you sing to a woman! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lionel Richie wrote this for the Commodores - the band he was in. They didn't want it. Lionel Richie was friends and asked Kenny Rogers if he would sing it and he immediately said yes!
I forgot how good it sounded
Check out gambler that’s a good Kenny rogers

Lionel Ritche wrote this song for Kenny Rogers. He sings it so beautifully.

The ladies really loved Lady & Kenny Rogers! 💕
The companion song to this is, She Believes In Me.
A personal favorite no reaction channel has done yet: Twenty Years Ago.
Theres a video of Kenny and Lionel doing this song together. Its awesome. They were amazing friends
He's got a long list of hits but I recommend Children, Go Where I Send Me with Home Free. It will knock your socks off,
Now THIS is a real love song...Sexy and beautiful! Sad day when we lost Kenny. 💔 RIP
You would really like Kenny Roger's. His music is great. I listened to him in the 1970s. So many good songs, a lot of sad songs.
Kenny was the first to record and release it, but it was written by Lionel Ritchie who also released his own version later. Kenny's was a massive hit.
Listen to "love will turn you around." Its a move he was in.
It's his 🎵 song
He is a country legend . maybe you have heard of the gambler . lionel richie wrote this song for kenny rodgers ! He sang a great duet with dolly parton !keep up the great work ! 😍😍
There is a live version where you get the story of how the song was written and Lionel sings it with Kenny.
There's several videos where Kenny and Lionel sing it together, they where great friends and have a lot of fun on the stage together. PEACE
Heard this earlier, first time in years. Beautiful, romantic song.💯🎶💖 Just listen to the women there.😁 This song touches the heart & soul.
Lionel Ritchie wrote this song for Kenny Rogers, they sang this song together..look it up🙂💜🎶
I just feel that is the most romantic song there is
Loved your reaction. I can tell you love music. ❤
Check out Ruby by Kenny Rogers live before his hair went gray. Great song.
Yes, he was with the First Edition when he sang “Ruby Don’t Take Your Love to Town”
Written by Lionel Ritchie for Kenny Rodgers.
Kenny and Lionel Ritchie were a force back in the day.
From the heart.... don't write 'em or sing 'em like this anymore.
Thank you Lionel & Kenny ...beautiful!
Yeah, Kenny was the O.G. Silver Fox. Grandmas and granddaughters alike thought he was pretty smooth. #RIPKenny We lost a good one.
This was was written by Lionel Richie for Kenny..
Lionel Richie wrote the song and offered it to Kenny to record. You need to watch the video of them singing this together live. R.I.P. kenny. You are so very missed.

Kenny Rogers started out with a rock band called the 1st Edition. Then he went country rock.
Love to watch you react.. 😊😊😊
Lionel Richie wrote this song for Kenny. The two of them have matching styles. They were best friends.
RIP Kenny 😞 If you haven't heard Children Go Where I send thee Kenny Rogers Ft. HOME FREE...go check it out!
You should try “You decorated my life” “Twenty years ago” and “Coward of the county”
💖💖💖💖
At one time like all careers his career stalled and Lional Richy wrote this song and ask Kenny to sing it and his skyrocket again
I love this song. There's even a reggae version by Wayne wade that I listen to as well😊
He was a great singer! Sadly he passed away recently, and too soon. This is only one of the incredible songs he sung.
AND This is NO auto tunes, NO enhancements, nothing like that. Pure, Raw TALENT!!!!
Bro, since enjoyed Kenny and I know you really like Home Free you really have to react to their collaboration of Children, Go Where I Send Thee. It will blow your mind!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
