He would pull out his six gun they don't shut up

Lionel Richie wrote this for him, and Kenny credits him right at the beginning of this performance. You should definitely listen to Kenny's song Coward of the County. It inspired a movie and tv series etc. And also, try listening to The Gambler, if you want to hear more of Kenny. He was amazing, may he RIP.

My dad was the biggest Kenny fan, but who wasn’t back then? He’d play his songs on his guitar and my two sisters and I would sing along with him when we were little. Kenny’s always been a favorite of mine because he reminds me of my dad, who passed when I was 13.

Kenny Rodgers this song still gives me the chills....

I danced to this song with my wife 33 years ago at our wedding. Still gives me chills when I hear it. Thank you Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie for this masterpiece.❤

Liminal Richie wrote this specifically for Kenny Rodgers to sing! It’s a beautiful love song!!❤️

Fellas, first ☝️ of all Rip 🪦 Kenny Rogers. One ☝️ of the great 👍 singers 🎵 from the 70's & 80's. The song 🎶 lLady was first ☝️ written for The Commodores which Lionel Ritchie was part of that group n they did not want to do that song 🎶 , so Lionel pitched it to Kenny n it became a big hit especially for the women who luved ❤️ his voice. Glad that U guys enjoyed it.

I grew up with an 8-track player and my parents had several 8-tracks. The one I played the most was Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits. Such a unique artist.

It takes talent to walk out on stage by yourself and captivate an audience.

My mother dedicated a Kenny Rogers song "through the Years" to my father before she died at 36 years old. My father used to play Kenny Rogers a lot because it reminded him of her. He finally joined her and passed away 32 years later and two days after the anniversary of her passing away. So Kenny Rogers always reminds me of my parents.

Lionel Ritchie and Kenny had a great friendship and Lionel was crushed when Kenny died a few years ago. Kenny was a huge heart throb back in the day and I could listen to him sing all day long without getting tired of him. He was a very humble & kind man.

Kenny Rogers, RIP, passed when Covid started, but had a great life. The voice of a master story-teller. Best buds with Lionel Richie who wrote this song and also recorded it himself nearly 20 years later. And as others have said, The Gambler is really his definitive song.

For these 5 guys in particular, they’ll enjoy the lyrics to ‘the Gambler’ and/or ‘Coward of the County’ greatly written and sung songs

One of the great storytellers through his music. Such a gentleman.

Kenny Rogers was another old school who was as good live as on record, (if not better). Pure professional.

There's a video of an amazing live duet of Kenny and Lionel performing this together

kenny was a superstar singer actor and chicken man lol. this was written for him by lionel richie and they did sing it together too

You should watch when Kenny brings Lionel Richie on stage and tell the story about how the song was made and they sing it together. It's beautiful to watch their friendship on stage.

I'm one year shy of 70 years and this song still bring chills and moves me to tears when I hear it. My husband and I fell in love to this song and its genre. We've been married 37 years. I love watching your reaction to so many different styles of music.

I remember Kenny Rogers from the 60's. He was in a group called "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition."

The man, the myth, the legend. He sang so many iconic songs that touched the heart and soul. Rip Mr. Rogers.

No matter your musical style, genre and alike. Play this at the end of your 3rd date and you'll be walking down the aisle in no time..........class, pure class.

I like the respect shown. Keep it up fellas

Love Kenny….reminds me of my younger days mom and dad jamming it always. Islands in a stream Kenny and Dolly Parton is a good one too

Kenny Rogers fit pretty well in the country genre, but if you go back far enough, you'll find his rock roots. Check out Kenny Rogers & The First Edition for the song "Just Dropped In." It's a classic.

Watching them all fully listening to that song you could see they are really understanding the meaning ...love this

I love Kenny RIP❤️

Kenny was helping Lionel during a rough patch. They wrote this song together in my sisters house. My nieces went to school with his youngest daughter Sophia! Lionel was so upset when Kenny died recently! Lionel is getting a special American icon award is the AMA’s this year. So excited for him!

There is a performance where Lionel and Kenny sing it together. Phenomenal

Kenny Rogers is dope! Straight pimp music!

Lionel and Kenny were great friends! I love Lady! Lionel Ritchie is one of the greatest songwriters of all time❤️…and Kenny one of the greatest voices! Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers✝️

Great in concert !!!! One of the best shows I've seen, saw him in Reno

A Female singer along this vibe, and still going strong that you definitely need to listen to is Dolly Parton. She can do anything, the song Jolene is beautiful, and heavy lyrics. She has done several duets with Kenny Rogers too, their voices went so good together.

I saw Kenny Rogers in Atlantic City, on the Boardwalk, when his band was “Kenny Rogers and the First Edition”. Nobody seemed to know who they were, (I DID!) and I was blessed to be standing right in front and was thrilled! This was around 1968 or 69. Loved him since I first heard his voice!

Best VOCALS of Kenny right here.

Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton is an absolute classic!

Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers He Is Amazing Legend Singer Ever My Momma Huge Fan Of Him. 👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you. Brought tears. Memories and watching the future appreciate our history. ❤️

Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton is a must watch!!

I cannot say how much I appreciate you reintroducing so many of us to old songs . I love your enthusiasm and joy ….. thank you🎉

Lady was written by music genius Lionel Richie and sung by Kenny Rogers, a country music singer with some serious R&B and soul.

Kenny was originally part of the First Edition rock band before going solo. They had some great songs in the 60’s and 70’s like Somethings Burning, Just Dropped In, and Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town. They even had their own tv show I remember watching every week when I was a teen. They were funny and played great music.❤️

Now look up Kenny Rogers and the First Edition singing “Just Dropped In”. Amazing how much he changed when he crossed into Country Music.

Thats real true country singing!!! Kenny Rogers was an iconic country legend!!

His voice was so masculine and just gorgeous! He’s greatly missed.

RIP Kenny Rogers 💙 nice reaction guys!

What the!!!! I was just thinking of this song today. ❤️❤️❤️ Love that you guys can appreciate all types of music. I saw Kenny once in concert.

Yes... Kenny Rogers was awesome!!! One of the GREATS!

Lionel Ritchie wrote that song for Kenny. Lionel recorded this song too and of course did a great performance as well.

A cute ditty but no "Lady."

Didn't expect to see you guys react to Kenny Rogers, and if I did I wouldn't have guessed it would be "Lady." Great singer, corny at times but good at what he did and could moisten every pair of panties in the house when he was really on. This was a weird time in music when country, r&b, and soft rock all merged into a blob of inoffensive romantic mush. A lot of it was cheesy but some beautiful songs came out of it.

Kenny Rogers was the man in those days and this song made a lot of babies

Loved watching your faces! Thank you for the respect of a country legend!

Soul has no color. I never heard that...love it!

The ladies were so in love with Kenny back then! My 16 year old babysitter was OBSESSED with Kenny! She even had the Kenny Rogers Lady jeans and I thought she was the coolest! 😂

Just want to say thanks for you guys. Your reactions are very enjoyable, and funny. SO MUCH music for you guys to enjoy and discover. I suggest you guys do one of Kenny's called "Just Dropped In " he was I. A group before going solo. It was used in the movie The Big Lowboski. Also Grand Funk Railroad, "inside looking out" 1969 live version has got to be one of the best performance.

You can still listen to this music in 20/23
