It took several tries before Kenny Rogers became a star. But superstardom lay ahead for this Texan, and it arrived in the late '70s. His experience with the two previous pop groups had prepared him well: he knew the easy listening audience was out there, and he supplied them with well-done middle-of-the-road songs with a country flavor. And that's just the musical side of Rogers. In 1980, the made-for-TV movie The Gambler blasted the competition, followed quickly by Coward of the County, then enough sequels to The Gambler to get him to Roman numeral IV. Throughout the '80s, Rogers remained a celebrity, even when his sales were declining. Even during the '90s, when he rarely charted, his name, face, and music were recognizable in a series of concerts, television specials, films, and even fast-food restaurants. Like many country superstars, Rogers came from humble roots. Born in Houston, Texas, Rogers and his seven siblings were raised in one of the poorest sections of town. Nevertheless, he progressed through high school, all the while learning how to play guitar and fiddle. In 1959, he briefly attended the University of Texas, but he soon dropped out to play bass in the jazz combo the Bobby Doyle Three. He didn't stay long with Stone and soon landed a solo record contract with Mercury. Rogers released a handful of singles on Mercury, all of which failed. Once Mercury dropped the singer, he joined the New Christy Minstrels in 1966. He stayed with the folk group for a year, leaving with several other bandmembers -- Mike Settle, Terry Williams, and Thelma Lou Camacho -- in 1967 to form the First Edition. By the end of 1972, the group had its own syndicated television show, but sales were drying up. They left Reprise the following year, signing to Rogers' new label, Jolly Rogers. Rogers left the group in 1974, and the band broke up the following year. At the time the band broke up, Rogers was severely in debt and Jolly Rogers was out of business. In order to jump-start his career, he signed to United Artists in 1975, and with the help of producer Larry Butler, he devised an accessible, radio-ready, and immaculately crafted take on country-pop that leaned toward adult contemporary pop, not country. For the next six years, Rogers had a steady string of Top Ten hits on both the country and pop charts. His crossover success is important -- his lush, easy listening productions and smooth croons showed that country stars could conquer the pop audience, if produced and marketed correctly. During the late '70s and early '80s, much of country radio was dominated either by urban cowboy or country-pop in the vein of Rogers' own singles. Not only did his singles sell well, but so did his albums, with every record he released between 1976's Kenny Rogers and 1984's Once Upon a Christmas going gold or platinum. Written by the Bee Gees and produced by Barry Gibb, the record became one of his biggest hits, spending two weeks on the top of both the country and pop charts. Rogers stayed at RCA for five years, during which time he alternated between MOR, adult contemporary pop, and slick country-pop. Despite his country successes, he no longer had pop crossover hits. Nevertheless, Rogers' concerts continued to be popular, as did his made-for-TV movies. Still, the lack of blockbuster records meant that RCA failed to renew his contract when it expired in 1988. Throughout the late '80s and '90s, Rogers kept busy with charity work, concerts, his fast-food chain Kenny Rogers' Roasters, television specials, movies, and photography, publishing no less than two books, Kenny Rogers' America and Kenny Rogers: Your Friends and Mine, of his photos. Rogers continued to record, releasing albums nearly every year, but they failed to break beyond his large, devoted fan base and only made a slight impact on the charts. With 1998's Christmas from the Heart, he established his own record label, Dreamcatcher; She Rides Wild Horses followed a year later, and There You Go Again was issued in mid-2000. At this point in his career, unable to hit the pop or country charts any longer, Rogers repositioned himself as a nostalgic brand in the middle, releasing 2011's The Love of God, a collection of gospel hymns and inspirational songs, only through Cracker Barrel locations the album was re-released a year later by the Gaither Music Group under the title Amazing Grace. In 2012 he issued an autobiography, Luck or Something Like It: A Memoir, and the following year he received the honor of an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. A new deal with Warner Bros. Nashville yielded You Can't Make Old Friends, his first major-label, big-budget release in seven years, and he promoted it with a major tour and even appeared at England's legendary Glastonbury Festival. The album's October 2013 release was preceded by the title-track duet with longtime friend Dolly Parton. In late 2015 Rogers returned to a familiar genre, releasing Once Again It's Christmas, his first holiday album in 17 years.
Kenny Rogers - Lucille (with lyrics)
It does fit with Vietnam, doesn't it. We are there, primarily, to entertain. Rather this distorted view of history was created and perpetuated with a particular ideological goal in mind; which was to vilify and demonize the responsible left-wing and the anti-war movement. I had two albums mixed up. It was written by another country singer who would go on to become an entertainment legend, Mel Tillis. I would really like to see that, but I've had no luck finding it. A performance by this pop file first drew me into the song, and I wanted to understand what made that performance so compelling, musically and lyrically. I'll take Kenny's version, too, because it scoots along with that shuffle on the drums, and how the background vocals really accent the lead vox. I'll take Kenny's sin, too, because it scoots along with that shuffle on the drums, and how the background vocals really accent the lead vox.
