You don't have to fight to be a man, but sometimes you do have to fight when you are a man. Pretty much explained healthy masculinity in a song. And you're right. You should fortify your mind and body to be there for those you love. This is the way, my man.
U r wene
There is a distinction between "you don't have to fight TO be a man" and "sometimes, you have to fight WHEN you're a man."
Learning that is what manhood is about
To protect the weak and the innocent is the right reason for a man to fight.We women appreciate you when you do!
Kingdom of Heaven, Director's Cut, love you, you're welcome, lol
"But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door." Probably heard this song a thousand times but this line still gets me. "The Gambler" is hands down my favorite Kenny Rogers song for painting a mood and state of mind and "Ruby" from his First Edition days for its gut wrenching poignancy.
Every single time. Best. line. ever.
Ruby is gut wrenching- great song
This is one of the songs I like to watch reactions to when I need my faith in humanity restored. Very rarely does a reactor not get it.
When you hear "They took turns at Becky" it hits you like a freight train.
Agreed. Damn good story telling. There's a time and place to fight back.
This song was so popular back in the day they made a TV movie about it!
"Lady" is a song written by Lionel Richie and sung by his best friend Kenny Rogers.
"Don't fight. But if you gotta fight. Win." Couldn't agree more.
His Live Version of “LADY” is Awesome:)
Yes it is..I love the version Kenny and Lionel sang Lady together
One of my favorite pastimes is watching Men react to this song because when they get to the chorus they always pause and say it is so true you don't have to fight to be a man. Then they listen to the next chorus and I love watching the transformation. One of the beautiful thing about men is they have an inner cape. It's what I've always described it to my family... My husband and I have five sons. Men just have this line you don't cross and when you do they get fire their eyes and it almost always involves hurting women or children. I personally believe it is a gift of God and it's beautiful to behold
Kenny has several great story songs like this. "The Gambler' & 'A fine time to leave me Lucille' are perfect examples. For a beautiful song, check out 'Lady' or 'Through the years'. He is also a GOAT of country. One of my earliest encounters with country. He actually used to be in a pop group in the 60's called 'The first edition'. He has some great duets with Dolly Parton too.
Forgot the song, "The Greatest" ua-cam.com/video/ATQ5Tab3eXY/v-deo.html
@@virgbarger You're right. That is also a great song. Kenny has too many to choose from. Sebs would enjoy it too. You are correct. A Dad would.
Don't Fall in Love With A Dreamer is another great one!
@@virgbargerthe absolute best!!!!
I love you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. 4 hungry kids and a crop in the field.
“Lady” by Kenny Rogers (live performance) is unbelievable!
This is a classic!!!!! I am 44 and have listened to this song for as long as I can remember 🙂 I love watching ya'll being willing to branch out to other genres!
Im 36 and listened as long as I can remember also. And the line about 3 of them taking turns at Becky STILL shocks me sometimes.
RIP to Kenny. One of the best to ever do it on a country stage.
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", "She Believes In Me" 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.
I remember The First Edition.
I'm old....lol.
This is my all-time favorite Kenny Rogers song. My dad used to sing and play it when I was little and I’ve loved it forever
Starlet brothers singing
Name on a wall
Amazing story and tribute to over 72,000 men and women. 1959-1977 years
Kenny Rogers recorded a Lionel Richie written song "Lady" that made Lionel Richie (All Night Long, Hello) question his sanity. He did two duets with our queen Dolly Parton (the single of the year "Islands in the Stream" and my favorite "Can't Make Old Friends"). He was the Gambler in song and film. He was Brewster in Six Pack, a film that featured his "Love Will Turn You Around" as its theme song. Later in his career, he camem out with "The Greatest", which brings emotion to anyone who has had a young child and "Buy me a Rose", which makes every woman want their husband to HEAR the lyrics!
Two things all men fear: The sea in a storm and the anger of a peaceful man.
That and a woman's scorn
My dad always told me don’t come home all battered from a fight and let me find out you started it. If someone starts a fight and they show you that they’re not gonna let you walk away if you have a chance, put them down and keep them down But always try to walk away because it doesn’t mean you’re man because you had a fight.
This is my favorite Kenny Rogers song. He is a legend.
Fighting should be avoided whenever possible, but some things in life are worth fighting for.
This is a great song!!!! One of his later songs that is an INCREDIBLE story telling, is called "The Greatest". Its about a little boy playing baseball...... you will LOVE it!!
I miss Kenny Rogers 💗💗💗💗
You really need to do "LADY" by Kenny Rogers with your wife by your side. That would be an awesome reaction for you to do!
For another good storytelling/life lesson song check out his song The Gambler. Then for something completely different check out his song with The New Edition called "Just Stopped in to See What Condition My Condition Is In" to hear some psychedelic rock Kenny Rogers.
One of my all time favorite songs. I wept hard when Kenny died.
Try his Reuben James. Great singer, great story teller. I love your reactions
"Yellow" is a phrase from back in the day to refer to a man or person who was "chicken" or scared.. mostly used in terms of fighting.
You are just a good human - good father- good husband ❤ I so enjoy watching you. Thank you.
Kenny Rogers is amazing! He is my childhood! Riding in the backseat of my dad’s car. Listening to Kenny Rogers. Great memories.
My husband started karate at 14 years old just to channel his energy. When I met him at 23 years old, he was a 3rd degree black belt instructor. He has also become proficient in Krav Maga. We grew up in the Southern USA and are both expert marksmen, but he still feels hand to hand combat is a necessary skill. With you having daughters, he would definitely approve. He took down a home invader when we lived in Miami with one kick.
I love me some Kenny Rogers 😉 reminds me of the old days playing records with my DAD R.I.P. 🥺❤️🩹DAD & KENNY 🎶that’s why I always say music is life Because it holds power to connect to one’s soul & memories 🥹😂🤔
with lyrics & melodies
country music is amazing !!! 🎶🎶🎶
You NEED to get more Kenny Rogers in your life.
This is a Fantastic song and story.
"The Gambler" is Awesome!😊❤ Thank you for sharing this with us.🎉
Kenny Rogers one of the great story tellers in country music.
Great Reaction Video......
This was also turned into a "Made for TV" movie in 1981, with Kenny playing the Uncle (same person singing the song)...
The moral or take away from the story...... You can only be nice for so long, and everyone has to find their line/limit.......
Another great reaction! Kenny is a long road to go down and you will NOT be disappointed!
Everyone always pauses this song at the same point before the song & the full message is revealed. Lol Great reaction.
Got to see him in concert twice in the 90's! Love love love.
THIS was one of my favorite songs growing up. Yes, I was in 3rd grade. Absolutely amazing.
Kenny has so many great Country Music of our lifetime.
One of the best stories of life.
Ooh, have you listened to "Lady" by Kenny? You should react to it with your beautiful wife! 🥰
It was written by Lionel Richie 💖🦋
It's great that young people are being introduced to some of the greatest songs of my time. This song was popular when I was a teen. Great lesson. Great story. Great music. Brings back loads of memories 🥲
Ikr? This was popular when I was a kid so hearing people enjoy these songs now gets me.
There are so many great country singers and he’s one of my favorites. Willie Nelson Blue eyes crying in the rain, The Judd’s Grandpa Tell Me About The Good Ole . Days, Loretta Lynn coal miners daughter. So many more
They made this into a movie in the 80’s. You should find the movie and watch it. Really good!!
Love to watch your walk through country music!
Great song. Will be missed.
I grew up, just down the river of Detroit Michigan, so I listen to a little bit of everything. I got Motown, rock ‘n’ roll, funk, R&B & blues from my dad and country music from my mom. You need to check out Kenny Rogers on stage with Lionel Richie. They were best of friends and Lionell actually wrote some music for Kenny.
Sebs, I'm the youngest of five siblings (they always save the best for last 😂). My first Kenny Rogers concert was ~1984. I picked a huge bouquet of yellow daffodils from the woods around our house and gave them to Kenny on stage. It was a GREAT night and the girls and I had a great time!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATCHING TRUE REACTIONS TO THIS SONG ❤❤❤❤❤ And you didn't disappoint me! THANK YOU!
You need to go down the rabbit hole of Kenny Rodgers including when he was with the First Edition
Oh yes... I always loved RUBY DONT TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN.
Kenney Rogers is one of my most favorite singers ever.
This is one of my FAVORITE songs. I'm a bigger guy, but always tried to avoid physical violence, because I didn't know how I'd react, whether I'd be able to hold back when enraged. Found out my Grandfather evidently nicknamed me correctly, by calling me his "Baby Polar Bear", when I was pushed beyond my limit.
Yeah, I guess us bigger guys have to be like that. When we fight someone will inevitably get hurt badly and I don't really want the consequences.
Trist song always makes me cry, his storytelling is so captivating😢
Yes! I’m so pumped to see you getting into the classics of country, true country music.
One of the Great songwriters. We have so many story tellers in Country Music. You have just scratched the service my friend.
Love your energy ✨️
This is one of my FAVORITE country songs and definitely top 3 of Kenny’s songs
This song became such a hit they made a movie of this song. Also did a great movie called SIXPACK all about family lessons. Awesome
Love Kenny Rogers. Great story telling.🤠
You've commented on the storytelling - and for sure Kenny was a master artist.
But he also had one of the smoothest soulful voices ever. He was an amazing performer, singer-songwriter, and good actor too. My mom was in love with kenny -my whole life I grew up with him. I've seen him live 3 times.
And his music crossed over different genres - he's wasn't just country - he was top 40 and adult contemporary. Just a true artist beloved across generations and genres.
Other songs by Kenny with a great story feel that you would love:
The Greatest, Lucille, Ruby, The Last Ten Years, 20 Years Ago, and my personal favorite "Love Will Turn You Around".
Kenny Rodgers was my cousin. Never wanted anything to do with family outside of his immediate family. Lovely person who lived a great life.
They made a movie from this song with Kenny Rogers and it’s amazing!
You may be recalling Kenny Rogers from "Lady", written by his great friend Lionel Richie when Lionel was with the Commodores. There is a wonderful video of Kenny and Lionel singing the song together late in Kenny's life. BTW, have you reacted to any of the classic R&B, Funk, Soul, etc. (e.g. Commodores)? If not, there is an extraordinary world of music to explore there.
Kenny have alot of storytelling songs. Country has a way of getting to you.
Yeah, I luuuuuuv Kenny! Grew up listening to him and know every song. :)
The first concert I went to was Kenny. Fantastic singer.
Lionel Richie wrote a song called Lady for Kenny Rogers. They were together and Kenny kept trying to sing the song but he wasn't satisfied with how it sounded. Then Kenny's wife came in. He sang the song to her and it was perfect.
You gotta do Lady the live version w Kenny in white suit !! You’ll love it for you and your wife !!
Kenny Rogers is one of my all time favorite singers. I love his voice. His ability to tell a story in song is amazing.
Kenny and Dolly's LAST Duet together is AMAZING!! Talk about a great lyric!! It is called...You Can't Make Old Friends!! ENJOY
One of my favorites, for sure. And as a young kid, Islands in the Stream was my favorite song for a long time - even before I ever understood the lyrics.
Kenny was in a movie featuring this story and another one, the Gambler.. Kenny also did great duets. One of my favorites was with Lionel Richie singing Lady.
This was so good they made a movie from it. It's also called Coward of the county.
I was always a backdown kinda guy until the right circumstance happened and I realized I had more power in my hands than I needed. Before I knew it I had to stop hitting a man bc of my consciousness coming back.
They made a TV movie based on this song. When I was a kid, I didn't understand the "taking turns at Becky" part. I thought they just came over & slapped/beat her up. It wasn't until years later when I hear it again as an older teen that it clicked in my brain what really happened. Wait... WHAT?!?! OH HELL NO! I wanted to go kick some Gatlin boys' asses myself!
OK, now you have to check out "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers... Another great story put to music. Kenny himself said it's a "great beer drinkin' sing-a-long song that everyone can join in". It's true, I first heard it as a kid & didn't really pay attention to the lyrics, but me & my friends would belt out the main chorus every time it played on the radio "You picked a fine time to..." That's all I'll say for now, so as not to give "spoilers" on what the song is about. Please check it out soon - you wont regret it, I promise.
😍🎶😍🎶😍🎶😍🎶
Definitely do his song LADY. That's my number one favorite song of his 😍💕
Kenny Rogers was so Epic, This song was actually made into a Movie. The Gambler was made into a movie......His songs are epic on levels most don't comprehend. Check out "The Last ten years" .
My favorite part of this song is when I learned that Kenny was on tour with the Gatlin Brothers Band when he used to perform this song.
This song should be required listening for kids in middle and high school. Most may tune it out but some will absorb its wisdom. In an age when so many sons grow up in fatherless homes, it's sad that the songs the majority of them listen to are devoid of the wisdom and life lessons that country music provides.
Red Sovine singing Giddy Up Go. Great story teller
Any song by Red will do
Kenny Rogers was a true legend! This is my favorite song of his own besides Three Gambler. And "yellow" means coward, in case you didn't know since this is an old song about an older time! Also, you missed a small but important part of the second verse, before he went to see the Gatlin boys. So maybe go back and give it a listen again. It changes things a bit!
You would LOVE his song "The Greatest". So would your wife and daughter. It's a beautiful, simple song about perspective.
The Greatest is awesome!
Absolutely!
OMG I almost forgot about "The Greatest"
YES!!! As a family man you should listen to it together.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Kenny Rogers had so many great story songs. Great reaction!
Been Kenny fan for years and years and always sing along but not until now with you interpreting it in your way have I got into the story. Thank you. Love to you and family. Nana Karen. UK. x
As a dad and husband, I’m 100% with you! Great catch with the key changes!
Also love the “fricks”! Definitely reminding me of my time that I lived in Logan, UT in 2000 😆
The first record I bought with my own money was Kenny Rogers the gambler. I have always loved him.
I was doing laundry and thought if this song. Came in and found that you have reacted. Yay!!!
Kenny was an amazing person ,so talented. A voice that is unmistakable.
You should see the movie by the same name. One of his last videos was with Home Free, Children Go Where I Send thee. Watch all the way to the end it is interesting what Kenny says.
I love....really LOVE his song The Gambler
In the 60's he had a rock band called Kenny Rogers and the first edition. Listen to 'I just dropped in to See What Condition My Condition Was In"
Yes, Becky was assaulted. No, no LEOs were called to deal with it. Tommy followed his Daddy's words even in this situation! You don't *have* to fight, but there are times when it's necessary anyway.
Kenny's got a huge number of story songs to choose from! "The Gambler" is probably the best known, but "You Decorated My Life" and "Lucille" come close. Take your pick!
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton did several duets that are must-hear! "Islands in the Stream" is my top pick for you - a great love story sung by two of country's most loved singers.
My father always said: "A gentlemen never hurts anyone unnecessarily"!
Kenny was one of the greats.
Love the reactions my friend! Thank you 😊
This song always makes me tear up.
I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE THIS SONG AND STORY!👍👍
When Tommy stopped and lock the door it was his version of saying I am not locked in here with you but that you are locked in here with the demon the dark side of me.
I’m really enjoying your journey in country music. Great work!
In the mid to late 60’s he was known as Kenny Rodger’s and the First Edition….. songs Ruby and Something’s Burning. Had his own variety show also.
The movie is amazing. I'm 400 years old and it used to play on TBS etc and had to buy it cause this story so sums it up and Kenny is an all timer
