    Lionel Richie said he had suggested the song title to the Commodores, but they were not interested in singing it. he then contacted Kenny Rogers to see if he would be interested. Kenny said yes and Lionel Richie finished writing the Song. He said he knew Kenny Rogers had a big fan base and thought country music fans would buy the record as well as Commodore fans. He said it was great to give the Commodores and Kenny Rogers exposure to other Genres. In the 70's and 80's artists would cross genres and perform and write for each other, It was all about the music.

    Kenny had a great voice, and could really tell a story with his vocal style .. One of his early classics was "Ruby ( Don't Take Your Love To Town )", which he sang when he fronted The First Edition band .. It's about a crippled war veteran whose wife goes out to seek the physical love he can no longer give her .. It's heart-breaking, but melodically it's such a wonderful song .. Highly recommend it ! .. Wayne

    I'm glad you both got to react to Kenny Rogers' "Lady". Mama Gap is correct. It is a beautiful,/romantic love song. Baby Gap, Kenny Rogers recorded and sang two types of songs. It was either country story songs or romantic love song ballads. "Lady" is obviously the latter. If you would like to react to more of Kenny Rogers beautiful.romantic love songs, I would suggest "Through The years", "She Believes In Me", "You Decorated My Life", and "Love The World Away". If you would like to react to some of Kenny Rogers country story songs, I would suggest "The Gambler", "Coward Of The county", and "Lucille". I'm sure you will love and enjoy all the songs I mentioned. Kenny Rogers is one of the all-time greats.

If you loved "Lady" then you'll love "Crazy". It is every bit as beautiful and is one of Kenny Rogers hidden gems from his great music song catalog. I don't think mama gap knows this one so it would be the first time for the both of you hearing it. I guarantee you'll love it. I'm sure baby gap would have a good cry because it's so beautiful.

You can see the love between them. after a 30 year friendship. Even if you don't react to it, you must watch it. And for the record, this is still country. LOL The genre has evolved immensely. He has another beautiful song that is perfect for long relationships & anniversaries, called 'Through the years'. Stunningly beautiful as well.

    Lionel is a very prolific writer of love songs. He and Kenny Rogers were good friends. Kenny was making an album at the time and needed one more song to fill out the record. He called Lionel who offered him Lady. Lionel wanted The Commodores to record it, but they felt that it wasn't quite their style. Many years later Kenny and Lionel sang Lady together on stage. It was pure gold. You could tell the love the two had for each other. They were like brothers.

    Kenny asked Lionel to write him a song for his new album, and this led to a 40-year friendship between the two.

    Kenny Rogers has many other great songs to listen and react to. My favorite is You Decorated My Life. Through the Years is another great song. I Don't Need You, She Believes In Me, Crazy, 20 Years Ago are other great songs by Kenny. I could go on and on like with the Bee Gee's that you've reacted to a list of their songs. Please react to more songs sung by Kenny Rogers
