This was when men sang songs TO women and not just about them as sex objects. That's what makes them so timeless and romantic and amazing.

I was born in 1973 and my father raised me on Kenny Rogers. I never listen to country music, but still to this day, I rock it out to Kenny Rogers at least once a week. RIP Kenny. Such a unique voice and a mind person from everything I've read. You should check out his songs "through the years" or "she believes in me." Have a good weekend and stay healthy

I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face. This is the original. "Lady" was written by Lionel Richie and first recorded by Kenny Rogers. It was released in September 1980 on the album Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits. Both his and Lionel's versions are stunning. So beautiful.

This is musical love-making. Just as there is a difference in sex and love-making, this is that distinction from just singing. It is passion that creates visualizations through pacing, his notes, his intensity, and how he holds the notes at times when words need it to convey "forever". Immaculate presentation from a true Super Star.

Lionel wrote this for Kenny, so this is the original, however, Lionel also recorded it later on & both versions are beautiful. That being said, my favorite performance is done by them together at the MGM grand in 2012. Seeing these two men & the love between them after their 30 year friendship is a beautiful thing to witness. This version is Kenny's first live performance & the one together in Ls Vegas is one of his last. For other great songs 'Through the years' is a beautiful one like this one. 'Coward of the county' & 'Lucille' are both story songs like 'The Gambler'. He also has duets with Dolly Parton, like 'Islands in the stream'.

You want to know what that quality in Kenny's voice, it is pure comfort and love. It is one is one of the first songs I remember and I fell in love at 5 yrs old. 😂 this song always told me this is how to make love to the one you love. From what you say to how to build passion. The flow of music just naturally builds the passion and joy then sooths the builds it all over again. I'm so in love by the end of the song every time.

so sad Kenny doesn’t get the love he deserves. 🥺 I feel like his music has always been a part of my life. Some of my earliest memories regarding music is tied up in his music. My Mom was always playing his music around us. Later I developed relationships with Motown music and the music of the Monkees, the Mamas and the Papas, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Herman’s Hermits, Milli Vinilli, etc. But before all of that, was Kenny Rogers. And he has always held a special place in my heart because of that. I had no idea how under-appreciated he is. 😢

He has an amazing library of music. He started out in the 1950's performing alternative rock, then went to jazz (which is where he gets that raspy sound in his voice. That's called vocal fry), then finally slid into country music. But he was never your typical country singer. Women loved him! Such a great performer. And he acted too. He will be missed

BRO, The easiest way to describe Kenny Rogers voice: "It's a million dollar voice" that was heard on nearly every radio station across the entire world, be it Country; Easy listening; Soft pop; or Rock! Kenny has his debut into rock music with his hit single, "Just Dropped In, To See What Condition My Condition Was In". Some of his most memorable songs was when he'd team up with other female stars, like Dotty West, "When Two Worlds Collide"; ; or Dolly Parton, "Islands In The Sun"; just a couple of big-time Country stars you may know! THANK YOU!

It's a "Husky Voice" known as the "Teddy Baritone" in the Industry. It was his distinctive, deep bass-baritone voice, which was so fluid, velour, and velvety, that made it his signature style of singing.
