The Untold Truth Of Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers played all kinds of music during his decades-long career, including the psychedelic classic “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In),” but he was best known as the smooth-voiced crooner of romantic country songs like “Lady” and “We’ve Got Tonight.”
Sadly, Rogers passed away in March of 2020 at age 81, but he lived a very full life, which included acting, endorsement deals, and even a famous chicken restaurant. From his love of tennis to the way he helped the Eagles get off the ground, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Kenny Rogers.

Loved Kenny Rogers back in the day. I was saddened to hear about his passing. It is nice that he lived a long life, didn’t have drug problems and seems to have been a decent guy. That most be rare in his industry.

I worked for Mr. Rogers and his brother, Randy, for a couple of years. He was a good man to work for (especially if you could harmonize). Rest in peace, sir, and thanks for the opportunity.✌
May he Rest in Peace and sing with the Angels😇. Class act🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was fortunate enough to have seen Kenny 3 times in concert during the late 70's and early 80's. Each and every single concert was awesome. Kenny will remain one of my favorite performers of all time. Rest in peace, Kenny, and thank you for the many years of wonderful music. 💖
Yup I'm getting older now seeing people i loved growing up passing away scary but reality going to miss that voice reminded me of my father's voice

rebbeca potter very true, who cares about his private life? we all have done things we are not proud of, these parasites should show the man some respect, he's not even cold yet and the gossip has started! i'm not a kenny fan, Queen is my passion but kenny rodgers had so many fabulous songs and he was such a likeable guy, these people should leave him in peace, why try and dig up dirt now that he's gone? what have they ever done with they're sad little lives? respect people, he was a great guy and will be remembered for many years to come
Can you imagine a musician from his era that never drank? Hats off to him. No one ever destroyed lives and careers smoking a little herb. I’ve always been a fan. I’m 55 years old so there were quite a few hits through my teen years. Giving me a very well rounded choice of music. Everything from Heavy Rock, to Kenny Rogers. I’m trying to remember if liking him as a teen was a Guilty pleasure ? I don’t think so. I think Kenny crossed that barrier where it was nothing to hide like plenty of acts that for me were guilty pleasures.
A beautiful voice a beautiful life a beautiful man thank you Kenny for all the beauty you've given us

I used to work for him. Sorry to hear about his passing.
The gambler is one of those songs everyone sings while drunk at the bar.
Kenny R., Neil D. and Willie N. when those 3 are gone , the spirit of the original talent of American music will be gone. Kenny is gone , rest in peace. I hope we don't lose the other 2 soon. and it's spaced out a bit when we lose them. I'm already really upset along with family members of mine at Kenny being gone. me and a best friend lit a cigar and toasted straight up scotch , to Kenny the day he died. and played Lucille, gambler and more of his songs , to remember and honor him too
Hey he will be missed I love his songs rip Kenny God bless you and I pray for all his family

First met Kenny in 1963 when he played bass and backup singer with the Bobby Doyle Trio at the Backstage Club in Houston, Tx. Needless to say he had a fantastic career and was a very personable guy.
God bless. Rest in peace. My condolences to the family.
Rest in Peace Kenny Rogers you will always be remembered your songs will play for a very very long time.
I met him back in the 90's at a restaurant I worked at in Myrtle Beach. He was SO NICE. He hugged me and gave me his autograph. He was in concert that night at the Palace theatre. I was wishing I was there instead of working!
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in ! It was all peace and Love ! R.I.P. Kenny!

In the early 70's I seen Kenny Rogers and Dottie West at a county fair. Will never forget the baby blue polyester suit he wore and Dotties orange dress. Rest in love Kenny Rogers.
Wow.. when was this done? Kenny passed away today.. this tribute is already up. When I heard he was gone, I went numb, body went cold..nausea.. all within ten minutes.. I've always been a huge fan. Rest in Peace.

Do you remember HOW HUGE HE WAS IN THE 80s'??? There is Elvis and Beatles level fame. Then the next level Kenny was in. And he was MAXED OUT IN IT... From about 82 to 86. Rogers was everywhere. Music and movies. More hit duets than anyone. Wow. He gave us some really heartfelt music. I grew up in the 80's and now my musical heroes are starting to die off. But at least i got to live through that time and era. Which in my opinion. Was the last great decade of music.
He will be missed. Glad I took mom to go see him back in 2017. Grew up listening to his songs and he wont be forgotten.

We were both born at St. Joseph's in Houston, a few weeks apart. He played base for us in high school. He was friends with My Husband who was also in the business. I always found him a kind, decent generous, very talent man. He was famous for country but he played great jazz.
