I'm sure there won't be too many posts in this thread, but I just wanted to say what a legend Kenny Rogers was. Grammys, CMA awards, covering every genre before sticking to the pop-country route, working with everyone, tv movies. An amazing artist who did it all. R.I.P.

Kenny had a great sense of humour, and this is one of his best pop culture moments:

Wow...I’m still at a loss for words. I’ve always appreciated his voice and music.

This is one of my favorite songs from him that wasn’t necessarily a big hit:

Sad and shocked to hear of Kenny's Passing. He was truly a living legend. Praying for the family. R.I.P. Kenny.

Gonna miss Kenny Rogers. I have a lot of his studio albums on vinyl. Kenny made quite the comeback in the early 2000’s with his #1 single “Buy Me A Rose”. Then he turned around in 2006 I believe and had another song that should’ve been a smash chart called “I Can’t Unlove You”.
