Kenny Rogers R.I.P.
I hesitated to post this, thinking it might be another false rumour, but it appears to be true. Kenny has apparently passed away at the age of 81. I enjoyed his work with the First Edition as well as his many solo works and especially his duets with Dolly Parton and others. Rest peacefully, Mr. Rogers.

Re: Kenny Rogers R.I.P.
Two days ago I was looking for music in my past that I loved and played "What Are We Doin' In Love" , "Islands In The Stream" and "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer". Great duets. Great songs.
Those would be my favorites of Kenny's as a country artist. "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" and "Something's Burning" would be my favorites with the First Edition.
RIP Kenny

Re: Kenny Rogers R.I.P.
Kenny Rogers had an amazing ability to move from one type of music to another. The following doo wop-flavoured song was his first hit ... although it didn't make the Hot 100, it was successful enough that it led to him appearing on American Bandstand, and it reached #43 on CHUM.
