RiP Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers is a tremendous loss to the music industry. Thank you Sushi for this reaction. He will be sadly missed by his family and millions of fans around the world.

One of his best was "Reuben James" a song about a Black man who raised a poor White orphan. Tear- jerker!!! RIP Kenny...

RIP Kenny Rogers....if you're doing more of Kenny Rogers tonight, may I recommend "Lady", "Through the Years" and You Decorated My Life"

if you want to see what he looked and sounded like before he adopted his famous laid back style. Check out The first edition: "just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" circa 1968

You should react to Coward of the county and Islands in the stream a duet with Dolly Pardon.

This was, indeed, a beer-drinking song! Thank you, Sushi, for helping us say good bye to Kenny and send our love to his family. He was an amazing artist and he brought so much happiness to so many people for so long. RIP, Kenny.

He looks like he would have been fantastic to see live. I've loved him for years

Happy Saturday my beautiful musical friend. RIP Kenny Rogers

Best song is his duet with Dolly Parton. Island in the stream.

Those of us who lived through the 50's, 60s & 70s got a steady diet of wonderful music from countless great performers--who didn't need autotune, pyrotechnics, or a flashy stage show!

One of my favorite is Lady. He's was absolutely the best. R.I.L. Sweet Kenny.

Memories of me and my dad when i was a little kid driving down the road singing these songs. My all time favorite country singer.

as the song asks who is gonna fill their shoes

"Ruby, don't take your love to town" You won't be sorry. About a Viet Nam soldier . Would love to watch you react to that!!

Could you please react to more Kenny? "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town" "Lady" "Coward Of The County" "Islands In The Stream" feat. Dolly Parton

"The Gambler" "She Believes In Me"

Earlier in his career, he sang a duet with Dottie West, called "Everytime two fools collide." It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I don't know of to many live versions, but the original radio recording is so good. I think you'd love it. Good day😁

The song "Ruby" was amazing too.

while you are doing Kenny Rodgers songs you need to do his song Rubin James

Thanks for reacting to him, if you haven't heard it yet, give "Lady" a try, I think you'll like it

I was fortunate enough to work as stage crew for two of his concerts in my area. Unlike a lot of celebrities, he was a really nice guy.

"She Believes in Me" great tear you up song....would love to see your reaction to it!

Coward Of The County, The Gambler, She Believes In Me, Islands In The Stream....you can’t go wrong with any song of his! RIP Kenny, fly high with the Angels❤️

I don't ever remember not hearing Kenny Rodgers. He was my Mom's favorite! She even had a poster of him in her room. I lost my mom in 2013 when she was only 56. I can listen to Kenny Rodgers all day. I close my eyes and I'm a kid again! RIP Kenny Rodgers.

Kenny will be sadly missed. I had 2 other favorites of his " Through the Years" and " She Believes in Me". Both are beautiful love ballads. Love to see your reactions. Keep it up Sushi, love your appreciation of good music.

His voice was amazing and this is during a time when there was no auto-tune

He's been around so long I almost thought he was invincible. I'll miss him. Islands in the Stream was iconic.

You should check out “Lady “ and “ Coward of the county” if you haven’t seen them. What an amazing artist!

Kennet Rogers had a charisma on stage where it is said he made each person in the audience feel like he was singing to them. He was very real and authentic with his fans.

I,m 71 years old, went his concert in 92 and it,s the only concert I,ve ever been to

A couple of my favorites from Kenny Rogers is The Greatest and Buy Me A Rose

Kenny Rogers was the best vocal story teller. His voice has an overwhelming emotionally expressive tone quality. Over a 63 yr career. Watch his amazing biography. He was raised in poverty. Became a huge mega star with The Gambler Album & song. A huge cross over artist Country, Pop, R & B, psychodelic, gospel music. He was loved by everyone Globally. He was a really good man. He helped organize Feed Africa We Are The World song & huge talent session event fundraiser with major talents of the 80's. His songs had weekly TV movies. He was in a variety of bands. He even had his own tv show. Jimi Hendrix loved his Band First Edition 1st album Just Dropped In. Check out Just Dropped In, Coward of the County, She Believes in Me, You Decorated My Life, Ruby, Coward of the County, Don't Fall In Love with a Dreamer, Lady, Islands In The Stream.

As someone who was there when he was at his most popular, we loved his hair too.: - )

Sushi, I have been a fan of yours for quite some time. I love your completely authentic reactions and the way you not only listen but seem to melt into every song. I learned something for a fact today that I had believed for quite some time. Today you completely confirmed it. You care very much about your fans. If it's important to us, it becomes important to you. Even more than that, the undeniable respect and admiration you have for the pioneers of music is both amazing and essential to anyone that is a true lover of music. It's one think to appreciate a good beat or melody. But you get to know the artist through the songs that become their legacy. Thank you for your respect, sincerity, authenticity. You're genuinely an amazing individual.

Kenny Rodgers “Lady” is the song that really showcases his voice. He’s got a older live version that’s been going around KZread reactors that’s probably the best I’ve heard him plus it’s one of the greatest love songs of all time

Kenny and Dolly Parton did a cover called, "Love is Strange," and Dolly makes a reference to his voice, that you would enjoy. Yes this song is very catchy and when we went to his concert, when he came to the Chorus, he would stop and let the crowd sing it. It was awesome. You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. And with this song the country portion of his career started.

Kenny was is one of my favorite singers .may he r.i.p.

You have to play Lady. I first heard Lady on our 9th Anniversary and remember slow dancing to it with my wife. Written by Lionel Richie just for Kenny. It is the definitive Kenny Rogers song and IMHO the best love song ever sung.

Kenny Rogers was the first concert I ever saw, I was about 8, when I saw him in a small town in Georgia, me and my family had a ball listen and singing along with him to this song and a lot of others.

As kids we always used to sing " You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel".

RIP, Kenny.... Thanks for all of your music and for your voice.

This song is the one that got him going in country music. He is wonderful. Check out ILAND IN THE STREAM with Dolly Parton.

Many years ago, I bought his greatest hits cd. Kenny is one of the few artists with enough great hits that buying the cd is worth it, every song a classic.

Sushi, his concerts were incredible. He was an amazing showman that played to his audience and made them part of the show. He will be missed.

Kenny was a legendary country artist, listen to his song Coward of the County, it is a great story. So good it was made into a made for tv movie.

Kenny can lead you through every emotion in a single song,and we could see that on your face.Great reaction.

In the early 80's I took my mom and girlfriend to see Kenny at MSG in NY. I really didn't know much about him but I knew my mom loved him so I picked up some tickets. To my surprise we had seats in the second row where you could almost touch him. The stage was square and seats all around so you could get a good look at him and hear that wonderful voice up close. When the concert was over I was a fan for life....that man can sing! You must react to "lady" the live video with him in a white suit looks like the concert I went to but no sure. Great reaction thank you for posting.

You should do "Lady" or "Coward of the County." Lionel Richie wrote "Lady" for Kenny.

Earlier in his career, it was Kenny and the First Edition. Listen to "Ruby".

Crawfordville, GA. 10 miles from where I grew up. Very very nice man. RIP Kenny

Rest in peace Kenny❤🦋

This must be a Sushi Night for me. I listened to your Kenny Rodgers songs and the one thing you need to know is that NOBODY ever wrote or performed a country ballad better. Rodgers could melt the heart of the smallest woman or biggest man. He and his voice were amazing, his storytelling was one of the strongest in music history.

Sushi - You do some of the best review reactions. Another artist who died too soon was Joey Feek. Just do a youtube search for Joey and Rory. She gave birth to her only child and then found out she had cancer a few months later just as her and her husbands singing career was really taking off. She died less than a year later. Joey and Rory put out some of the best music (some with some good sas in it also). Back to Kenny, my wife Vicky and I went to an outdoor concert featuring Kenny Rogers about 20 years ago. It was one of the most amazing experiences ever. Every song he performed was actual song back to him by the fans in the crowd. Seeing 7000 people singing an artist song back to him was amazing. We will miss you Kenny. God speed you on your journey.

This song came out while I was living in Africa for a few years. It was amazing how all of the locals learned and sang the song, even though most of them didn't know a word of English. The song just really resonated with them that much, even though it was Africa instead of the U.S. They understood perfectly the idea of breaking up with four hungry children and a crop that needed harvesting.

Try Kenny's ' I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in'

I agree. This is really where it started for Kenny Rogers. "Ruby, don't take your love to town" is also great. Let's admit it, the hits are all about some poor SOB who's wife/girl is leaving or cheating.

I hope everyone is safe. And R.I.P. Kenny. I remember listening to him with my old man when we would go on road trips.

This song makes me cry every time i hear it. My dog was named Lucy. And a party trick was to quiet everyone down and I would sing this to her. She would rock back and forth just staring at me until she drifted to sleep. It never failed. When She died she was unresponsive to everything as she lay there. But then I got down and sang this to the best friend I ever had as she slipped away. I don't have enough tissues for this. Thank you for sharing this. 😢 😢 😢

This was VERY popular. One of his first hits after he came to country. I remember my husband called me from the other room, hurry Kenny Roger's is on TV. We had never saw him . No videos in those days.

I hope you do "Lady" or "Islands in the Stream" by him and Dolly Parton

1977. I was 28 working with a bunch of 15 year olds who would play this on the juke box and sing along, loudly. In Pennsylvania.

Kenny Rogers actually started out in a rock band called The First Edition. Their 1st big head was called ( I just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in) You can find the band performing the song live or you can get the studio recording on KZread.

I can't wait for you to do "Lady". He was a crowd pleaser. He connected with his fans so much. Great reaction to an iconic legend of not only the country music industry but the music industry in general.

One of the best story tellers in a song there was. Coward of the county is a great story telling song.

mr.K.Rogers was an amazing photographer.. True artist ..

Thank you for my reacting to my favorite song of Kenny Roger's! It's my favorite because I remember being five or six yrs old playing in the yard and my Dad working on the family car. The hood up and windows down blasting "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille"!! Which was kind of ironic because my Mom was always leaving him because he barely ever came home!! Lol Yes, that's a double Entendre!

In the Army I was a tanker and one time we were all bored and telling jokes over the intercom and for some reason I started singing this song with different words related to our Tank. The chorus was something like "You picked a fine time to leave me road wheel, five million commies and they're right on our heels..." we laughed and later on I could hear someone singing that line in the middle of the night on guard duty. Kenny Rogers songs were always on the Jukeboxes and was always selected several times a night.

This song always reminded me of Lyin' Eye's by Eagles. RIP Kenny. "You picked a fine to leave me loose wheel!"

Sad day... my ALL time favorite is " Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town " Kenny Rogers and The First Edition... would LOVE to watch you react to it. Thx

My mom adored this man as a singer. I am coming up on her being gone five years. Please react to The Gambler by Kenny Rogers as this was her favorite song.

Just came across this loved it - KENNY ROGER

Lady is A good song , look for for the one where he and lionel richie sing it together , they were best friends . Coward of the county good too , thanks

What a great story teller. From the first sentence I'm hooked.

Please do Lady. One of his best. Everyone sang Lucille back in the day.

"Love will turn you around" is my favorite of his.

I saw him perform at our state fair in the 90's sat 4 rows from stage

Lady, She Believes in Me, If I Were a Painting, and Sweet Music Man are all songs you should react to next. Kenny was so special...I’m so glad that I was fortunate enough to get to see him a long time ago with my grandma. He seemed like such a sweet genuine man. He will be dearly missed. 🙏💙

Kenny Rogers sang in a band my favorite song was Tell it all Most never even heard the song. I saw Kenny in concert once.

Just discovering you, appreciation is way understated. You have a heart perfect for all music. Thank you.

Aww, that was Crystal Gayle coming out there at the end. Sounded like she was going to sing "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Talk about great voices.

I'm sitting hear tearing up. I can't believe we've lost The Gambler. Thank you Sushi for honoring Kenny like this.

Music was so simple and good back then. I miss this - his music was part of my childhood.

Coward of the County; Ruby, don't take your love to town. He did duets with Dottie West, Sheena Easton and Dolly Parton. He sang and starred in movies like The Gambler and The Six Pack. I actually love the title song from that movie.

Im now 48 years old. Was 6 when this song came out. When I was little up until I was in my teens I sang this song "With 400 Childrern and a crop in the field". Just like Frankie Valli's "My eyes adore you" I sang for the longest time "My eyes of Georgia", now why Georgia had eyes I don't know.

Islands in the stream and some of Kenny and Dolly's christmas songs are my favorites.

Oh man...You all gotta go back to when a young Kenny was in the First Edition too..."Ruby" and "Just dropped in (To see what condition my condition was in)" ...Just as much part as his legacy as any of his solo stuff.

One of my favorites of his songs is Buy Me A Rose, very moving song.

"We've Got Tonight" is a nice love ballad as well as "Lady" which was written by Lionel Richie.

See if you can find a video of him doing a song called "Ruby don't take your love to town." It from the late 1960's about a wounded Vietman veteratin.

He had a smooth voice that for sure Rest In Peace
