Kenny does so many good ballads. Love him singing "We've Got Tonight" with Sheena Easton. Actually, I liked seeing him and Dolly sing it at his concert. It was really good. I am a sucker for 80s ballads.

Many of us didn't see this as a country song. We thought of it more as R&B sung by a country singer. Kenny Rogers was well respected because he was a great singer. Kenny's voice was like velvet. He made this song a hit. Beautiful, just beautiful.

True story.

You asked who knew Kenny could sing like this? Lional Richie did!

I don't ever remember you smiling like that, Van. Cheers.

"Who knew Kenny Rogers could sing like this"........Everyone lol

My mama most definitely threw her drawers on stage at his concert back in the day. She’s 76 now and has zero regrets about it.

Song writers loved getting Kenny to sing their songs. He crossed multiple genres and was a likeable guy. Songs would sell and he always gave the writer credit.

Lionel Richie knew where this song belonged. He trusted Kenny with something he wrote.

I'm a lady who NEVER to this day was loved like the song says but for a moment listening to this I could ♥ pretend. RIP 🙏 Kenny and thank you.

A lady friend told me that when Kenny sang this live, there wasn't a dry seat in the house.

Kenny was a bad man in his day. Brother had skills

We all knew Kenny Rodgers could sing like that. He's done it his whole career

We knew how he could sing. A multi talented singer. Saw him in concert Aurora Illinois. He was fabulous

That’s what a G looks like. Straight up Gangsta

Talent. No autotune

I knew! Grew up on this. Danced to Kenny Rogers with my Daddy at my wedding. I was a total Daddy’s girl and danced to “Through the years”. Man, made me start crying thinking about it.

I asked my fiancé to start writing out songs he would like included in our wedding playlist this was one of them. He’s not a sentimental guy and has a hard time saying how he feels when I saw this song and really listened to the words. Man it makes me love and appreciate him so much more. The waterworks are on in full effect 🥺😭🥰

Kenny was great and his voice gave me chills. I loved him growing up.

There's a lot of similarity between soul and country. Both genres are full of stories of heartbreak, love, loss, victory, and defeat. They get stereotyped as "white" music and "black" music, but truthfully we all have a lot more in common than many people would admit.

I knew !! My 83 yr old mom has taken me to see him in concert 5 times !! No joke .. she loves him and I do too !! And I’m 46… lol 😂 👍❤️❤️😘😘

My mom was in love with him. Every time his song came on she couldn’t do a thing but sit and listen. His record was the second album I ever got. Elvis was the first.

RIP Kenny. One of his biggest hit “Sweet Music Man”; Kenny wrote it to outlaw Legend, Waylon Jennings.

Saw him in 78 i was 10…loved him…rip kenny❤️

Kenny Rodgers was a living legend! ♥️

Lionel Ritchie is one of the greatest song writers in history, absolutely amazing

Lionel and Kenny's friendship and how they respected each other was so great!

This was our first dance song at our wedding, 40 years ago. Still my favorite song and we still dance to it.

I knew! ♥️😁 He was a gift! Loved him! RIP Kenny Rogers! 🙏

Van, I knew Kenny could sing like that! I grew up listening to him singing. You said something about Lionel writing a country song. Lionel wrote that song specifically for Kenny at Kenny‘s request. Kenny and Lionel were best buds! Not sure you knew, but Kenny Rogers passed away on March 20, 2020. He died from natural causes. Kenny could sing any song really. I love the smile on your face!

Lionel sings this with Kenny at an awards ceremony for Lionel. The love they share while singing it on stage makes me cry! Please check it out! Love your reaction, I kept my drawers on. lol

He said the 1 word he had was actually "Baby", but when he & Kenny met for the 1st time, Kenny kept going on & on about his wife, repeatedly calling her a Lady, so when they got around to talking about the song & Kenny asked the title, Lionel blurted out "Lady."

Yes sir ever since the first song he ever released back in the 60's called RUBY

Yes he's a true legend rip kenny

Kenny , Lionel, whichever sang this song increased the population. this was so popular that made every couples night.

This was my MOST favorite song to slow dance to. Almost every guy knew the words and would sing them (badly most of the time) to the girl he was dancing with. We loved it.

He is one of the greatest country singer… ever!!!

Clearly Lionel is a master story teller and he knew Kenny would deliver like no other!

What a great performance. What a Great singer..Enjoy

Yes that rasp 👂❤👂 Lionel and Kenny were actually BEST friends! "Gonna be men drawers on that stage" ...😂😂😂

Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!! What a performance; Lionel’s song with Kenny’s deep, sexy delivery; PERFECT 🔥

We ALL knew he could sing like that!!! His voice is PERFECTION!!!🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🥁🎸🎧

Sometimes the live version is the best. It's wonderful when it happens

Definitely an underrated voice.

Kenny and Lionel were the masters...and they came together to write and sing the best romantic song that was ever created. They are truly a brilliant team.

That voice gives me chills. Idk if everyone else gets that feel good chills when he sang this classic. He had a killer smooth and macho voice

I knew but I'm almost 50 sooooo... Lol He was just awesome 🤯💯❤

You asked who none I did he was the stud of the late 70 and the eighties. No one can ever compair. He was magnificent 😍

I have always loved this song and Kenny Rogers. RIP

I've never seen your reaction to a song like you reacted to this. You never quit moving or smiling...loved it

They say Kenny was the President of the "panty-droppers club" lol , my mom LOVED him , and I hope she got a big ole hug from him up in heaven. I think of my mom every time I hear one of his songs.

All I wanted was a man that I knew felt that way about me & that I could be his Lady! Blessed to have that in my life! Kenny Rogers was my crush 😍

Love how you don't just read a sponsor's ads but actually make a humorous and informative little bit for it

Listen to Ruby oh my God I was 16 when I first heard him and fell in love with that cry in his voice. I am now 68. And I still love his voice.

You made me laugh so much!! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you started talking about drawers I about DIED but sir you are correct, many drawers were probably thrown at him. Thanks for this reaction.

Me! I’ve known since I was 5 yrs old, when this song came out. I actually remember watching this on TV. Love him, may he Rest In Peace.

I'm 66 years old. First time I heard Kenny was in 1968. It was "Just Dropped In". I listened to it on my cool transistor radio. It was a LSD Song (very popular back then). He still sounds the same. In fact his voice is a bit more mellower: "I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in I found my mind in a brown paper bag within I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high I tore my mind on a jagged sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in" 😊

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were the male and female embodiments of country music to me when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. To this day their voices trigger the nostalgia vibe hard. I'm not even a big country fan nowadays, but The Gambler will always be in my top 5 favorite SONGS of all time due to the nostalgia factor.

Kenny is the MAN!!! He was old enough to be my father but...😍

Of course I knew - he’s one of my fave singers of all time haha

We knew, I've been listening to Kenny Roger's for years!!!

I knew. LOL I love Kenny Rogers. What a romantic song.

Kenny Rogers was my first concert. I was a child and a huge fan of the Gambler and Coward of the County. I think this was the tour that my parents took me to. He is funny in is monologues about the songs, but man can he sing. I am pretty sure lots of babies were made with this song in the background.

Great reaction to a great song. Kenny Rogers was an incredible singer.

Yes, Kenny Rogers is a great singer!
