    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

    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.
