The Gambler didn’t Pick a Fine Time to Leave Us, I hope he finds the Islands in the Stream
RIP Kenny, one of the all-time greats
RIP Kenny, one of the all-time greats
Just saw this on the feed and was hoping it was just a hoax, RIP.
Wow, striking resemblance to Jeff Bridges there......
Yes, its because it is. The song was used in The Big Lebowski which I presume is where a lot know it from, but if you listened to the radio early 70s you more than likely heard it. The song was written by someone whos name escapes me but Kenny Rodgers/The First Edition turned it into a hit. It was pretty psychedelic and am certain it was about drugs. The stuff he did later was a total 180.
Ok, thought I was living in bizarro world
I don’t really know what Kenny looked like before the silver-gray but Jeff is the first thing I saw.
I can agree w/ that. Along w/ bringing a different sound to country music.He probably did more to popularize country and bring it into the mainstream music than just about anyone.
