KENNY ROGERS, 81
Died March 20, 2020.
He was both a pop and a country artist. A real cross-over hit maker, starting with his group First Edition and in his solo career.
On the pop charts, he had 40 Top 100s, including 11 Top Tens and 2 No. 1's.
Some of his biggies:
"Just Dropped In"
"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town"
"Ruben James"
"Something's Burning" (which was on the charts right now in 1970)
"Lucille"
"She Believes In Me"
"Coward of the County" (Watch out Gatlin Boys!)
"Lady" #1 in 1980
"Islands in the Stream" #1 1983 with Dolly Parton
That's some real good stuff.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
