My dad passed in 2012 at the age of 65. He looked so much like Kenny Rogers, especially when I was a child, when he had salt and pepper hair. Later in his life, the last 15 years, he was Santa, with his all white hair and beautiful blue eyes. Every time I see Kenny Rogers, on tv or hear his music, I think of my dad. My dad loved his music also. I will always remember my parents dancing to “through the years”. Such great music and great memories for so many of us.

[@Clippersfan02]

Gosh I remember it was all about Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash In my house growing up my mom was all about Kenny Rogers she would’ve been heartbroken about his death but she passed away in 2017 RIP to one of the best country singers ever

[@daisymaefrench4041]

I saw Kenny Rogers at Foxwoods in Connecticut. He had the audience singing Lucille and he would chime in and laugh. So, I can proudly say that I sang with Kenny Rogers. Thank you so much for these videos, Scott. You make me feel like I'm right there with you. Thanks.

[@ericlomax1793]

Kenny Rogers did have a home outside of Los Angeles before and then he moved to another place in Georgia where he had ranch outside of Atlanta and a lake on the ranch called “Lake Christopher” after his son Christopher. Gambler movies were his best, he did a few movies called “McShane”, as a private investigator but those were not shown often and didn’t have same chemistry as the Gambler movies did.

[@shellyjones7191]

Thanks Scott. RIP Kenny Rogers.

[@Corgis175]

trip and a

[@bridgetdraper5146]

When i was growing up my peers asked me who my favorite singer was and i can remember saying Kenny Rogers. Meanwhile everyone made fun of me because they were all into AC/DC which i only listened to in secret since music like that was not played in my childhood home. One of my favorite memories of Kenny was him being onstage and he had his son Christopher on his shoulders and suddenly Kenny said we need to wrap this up I feel something warm running down my back. I just loved him the original silver fox!

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Scott please never ever change your channel, we love you exactly the way you are! May God continue to bless you always.

[@TheLoneStranger213]

My grandma raised me. Loved him and Conway. Hank Hill idolizes the guy. I think the Gambler pretty much surmises life. Good one Scotto. Watched at 550 am.

[@mrsmatthews53]

my very first mothers day, i got to go with my best friend to go to his concert (40 yrs ago) anyway were in the nose bleed section and he had a round stage, i ran down a bunch of stairs to get his picture and when i got down there, i held my camera up, he looked down so sweet and smiled for me i took the picture and peed down my leg, when i got my pictures back and i only got him from the waist down, lol loved him for a long time and will always love him, ty scott

[@paradiseana7634]

Like your style. Keep doing what your doing. In your own style. Enjoy your stories.My fav Kenny Rogers song was "Island In The Stream." Because it was wriiten by incredible songwriters Gibbs brothers. Kenny's voice just took it to another level. Well done!♥️🎶🎙️🎸

[@danaparsons1990]

I'm pretty sure he touches every women's heart with the song Ladie🥰 and what a beautiful tribute thankyou 💜

[@daiseymcmillen3981]

Kenny Roger's music and Conway Twitty are my favorite country singers..His and Lionel Ritchie song Lady is my all time favorite!

[@kennethmaskell8522]

My mom put on"Somethings Burning" that's the first Kenny Rogers song I remember. Enjoy your videos don't change anything.

[@tashalmwoods7103]

I was going through my "Scott files" and found this one. I'm not sure how I missed it, but I'm so happy I found it 😊 I am a Kenny Roger's fan and The Gambler is my all time favorite! RIP Mr. Roger's. Keep up the great work Scott! ❤

[@erinbedard6374]

I love Kenny Rogers how been for years.

[@YoKendog]

Thank you for this. I grew up wanting to be Kenny Rogers and I’ll never forget the night he died. A hero of mine for so many reasons. When I am in ATL next summer I’ll have to plan a stop. Thanks again.

[@DB-hv3fn]

I was bullied at school when I was a kid and Kennys Coward of the county always resonated with me. Thanks Kenny you were one of a kind🇮🇪

[@teresabrown613]

I really enjoyed Kenny Roger's songs he was the greatest.

[@Whittdocs]

Great visit! Kenny Rogers was a legend. Thank you so much Scott.

[@nicolebayliss9910]

My sister used to play Kenny on the turntable in our room all the time, he was going to come to Australia with Glen Campbell but Glen got sick. I wish I could have taken my sister to that concert.

[@sharonozvenom]

Loved hearing your story about meeting the great Kenny Rogers. His burial site is beautiful . I love eating Kenny Rogers Fried Chicken and my fav song is “Lady”. It brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it .

[@haumea420]

“You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run”. I try to live by that quote🙌🏾 Islands in the Steam is my all time favorite song. It’s a Bee Gees song🙌🏾 but Kenny and Dolly made that song a classic🙌🏾❤️

[@sandrahunter5749]

Kenny was in the part of the song We Are the World with Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.

[@dwaynesweeney6860]

One of the reasons I love your videos is your sincerity….You care and through that care you make us part of your life and the life discussed….I’m glad there’s no template

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thank you so much Dwayne

[@carlosb.5362]

I used to ride around with my grandma in her 1981 Mercury Marquis with an 8 track tape player and we would listen to Kenny Rogers Gambler on 8 track tape. He was one of her favorites and is one of mine. Thank you for sharing your story and video with us. 💯

[@susancaroline927]

My older sister is the biggest Kenny Rogers fan I’ve ever known. She was able to go to his very last concert. She, a full grown adult and doctor, was giddy and tearful throughout the whole thing. I was so happy for her that she got to go.

[@tom-lz8ll]

Kenny amazing his music and movies are amazing . I seem him in concert he was so amazing he is one of my favorite . Kenny you will always be missed and loved. Rest in peace Kenny.

[@carleanehawkins6561]

[@naders08]

Gosh... Kenny Rogers taught me the best lesson in life ever. "Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away". Scott I'll send you a pm on Instagram re Kenny.

[@apriljackson1370]

I still can't believe that he's gone 💔 😢🙏

[@dogsarethebestcatsaretoo6764]

I can't believe Kenny died he always looked so strong

[@sophiegeorge2816]

My late parents loved country music especially Kenny Rogers, some of his songs still make me cry The song that made me laugh was Lucille, she left him with 400 children and a crop in the field

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

4 hungry children

[@thunderroad7289]

I had the pleasure of doing a few tours over the years for Kenny Rogers. Driving semi truck for a tour company out of Nashville. The man treated all of us drivers so well. He was a amazing person. A lot of fun to be around and the man could sing. Omg could he sing

[@DarkSkies72]

Kenny and Dolly’s most famous song together is Islands In the Stream. Great song. 🌴 #RIPKennyRogers 🙏🏼

[@bungie38]

One of the best man in country music loved all his music

[@jtaquaqueen130]

Thanks Scott for this video!!!.... U literally brought me back 2 my childhood... My stepfather was a HUGE country music FAN!!!!... Especially Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton!!!... As a little girl.. he used to tune into the local country station on the radio and ask me who's that playing?... it was always either Kenny Rogers or Dolly Parton!!!... lol🤣🤣🤣.. Those where the days!!!🥰😍... My stepfather passed away in 2012... Just watching this brought tears to my eyes!!!😢😢😢... Thanks again!!❤️... RIP KENNY ROGERS AND TO MY STEPFATHER!!!❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾😇😇🕊🕊

[@krystina.nelson217]

That burial plot is amazing! He was an awesome man and I remember going to Tuscaloosa, Al with my Dad to see Lionel Ritchie and Kenny came out to sing “Lady”…. Not a dry eye in the place! That man could just smile and make you feel so calm and loved. He adored his fans and the chemistry he had with Dolly is one no one can touch.

[@sabarlow80]

Six pack was one of my favorites growing up

[@TwistedSMF]

I am a Metal Head. Pure and through and through. Kenny always had a softspot for me. I loved the movie "SixPack" and all his songs that came throughout the '70s/'80s. His brand of Country (And a lot of artists from his time period.) Was the only Country I could stand. I think from the 90s on, I just stopped liking Country - PERIOD - Kenny Rogers will be missed. He was a treasure to listen to. Merry Christmas to all and you as well Scott. Love your channel, Great content!

[@stacytaylor4271]

I loved your Kenny Rogers story

[@margaretmorales193]

Thanks Scott. He is sooooo missed I loved him too and always will . The day he died and I heard the news I totally cried and lost it !!!!!!! Thanks for the songs and memories. Again Scott thanks. Mm

[@ClairvoyantDonna]

Will always remember Kenny Rogers and his great music

[@nicolecorriedemaio]

I love his songs Lady and Through The Years. I'm not a country music fan, but certain songs from certain country music artists I'll make an acceptance for. I also, love to hear your stories and anecdotes. That's really cool that you got to meet him,and share a birthday with him and your dad. May Kenny and your dad RIP

[@elizabethsulliman]

That story made my day. What a cool guy. Long, great career all the way til the end. Love Kenny Rodgers. What a beautiful final resting place in all ways.

[@CGFIELDS]

Very touching video, Thank you

[@DowntownMike]

I love the episode of The Muppet Show, from way back, where Kenny sang The Gambler in a "train car" with some muppets.

[@breephoenix111]

My uncle loved Kenny Rogers, he was always playing his music. Now they're both in the next life. Awwww what beautiful memories meeting Kenny Scott.

[@tresaferrell6290]

[@elizabethdumphy5952]

He was one of my favourite country singers

[@victoriarash5011]

Love all his music.

[@hallking7441]

I miss my dad too. Your videos helped me during a time of grief last year and even made me laugh a few times. Keep doing them exactly the way you want. 🇨🇦 I hope Dolly Parton lives forever.

[@vernacohen6988]

I still remember the first time I heard Kenny. When my oldest brother wasn't home he gave me the OK to play 8 track tapes. I found Kenny and the First Edition and that was it, I was hooked. Ruby was a regular tune for my fam. A beautiful resting place but no flowers made me sad. Kenny passed just weeks before our precious moms, dear Scott and Robert Plant and I celebrate our day 24 hrs. before you, your dad and Kenny. 🤗. I'd say we are in good company. Loved your Kenny story. Happy holidays to you and all. 🎶🎸🎄✨⛄💝💚💖

[@kandicejanusz1829]

Grew up on Kenny Rogers, CCR, The Carpenters, Beach Boys, and the Beatles, thanks to my parents. I never got to see him in concert, but I can imagine. All time Favorite song is The Greatest. I want my vow renewel song to be Through the years. I was hoping it would have been this year for our 20th (12/21/01). Things happen. Love you Kenny Rogers. You will always be one of my idols.

[@audgester]

My after-kindergarten class did a little skit to "The Gambler". I still have photos of that day in '78/'79. I still love the song and Kenny Rogers was a big part of my childhood. Always liked him. Thanks for a nice video. I like the way you do your videos.

[@christinazawada4535]

Also we can't forget that Dottie west was a huge part in his singing even before Dolly Parton and Sheena Easton , Loved Kenny Rogers and his duets with Dottie west

[@bernadettehernandez9624]

[@jo-annbercier6546]

Thank you for this video Scott. I am a Kenny Rogers fan too. I saw him in concert back in 1984 and had front row center seats. He was wonderful. All the graves you visit, I am walking along side of you. I am not able to travel to all the places you go so thank you for sharing. Love from Canada.

[@txrodeoqueen]

Kenny was at Hands Across America on May 25th, 1986, in Glenrio, TX...and so was I.

[@maryamalfayed223]

Kenny Rogers crossed every race and culture ... Always will be a fan favorite! ... Thank you Scott! ... Lovely video 🌹❤🌹

[@frankthomas1423]

Kenny was such a staple of my childhood, I remember my mom had a cassette with Kenny & Dolly on it she would play that over and over...I would always stare at that cover w Dolly and my mom would ask why are you staring at that? I would say" I just like his outfit"...LOL she would just laugh

[@hairskin]

my great grandfather and grandmother are buried right next to Kenny! nice!

[@Todd_Stephenson]

Coward of the County is my favorite Kenny song too. I met him once at a mall in Athens GA when I was around 14. Very nice man. My mom was a huge fan and was nearby so we got to a pay phone and asked her to come to the mall. Kenny waited for her and my mom was able to meet him. Kenny’s son Christopher was in a stroller and I had my cousin Christopher with me and the two sort of shook hands as 2-3 year olds. Cute. I have a loose connection to Marianne Gordon through my Grandmother on my dad’s side which I didn’t know at the time. I remember Marianne walking up and she had such a presence. Thanks Scott. Merry Christmas all!

[@emmacrawford984]

I love 💕💞💕 Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon they are my favorite county singers love the Gambler Kenny Rogers was just not a country singer he is a legend RIP Kenny Rogers we love you and miss you thanks you Scott

[@astravanmk2]

I absolutely love Kenny Rogers, even though I was born and raised in the UK my parents were massively into country. So Kenny and Charley Pride and Don Williams were constants in my life.

[@MrJessy2collins]

My mother still plays that Christmas album with Dolly, every year, every year. Great video, too bad his grave is right next to a street but it is what it is. Amazing marker for an amazing person.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

That marker is amazing I agree with the location of it, not a special location at all.

[@MrMikepresley]

With yea all the way Scott, I like your videos!! I remember watching Kenny's weekly TV show (think it was the early70's) he had long hair, full beard and always wore tinted sun-glasses, my parents liked him and so did I. I put Kenny in with Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, they were all a genre of their own!!

[@leesashriber5097]

Loved his music 🎼🎶 played a lot of the ballads on my piano 🎹 thank you, Scott and God bless you this holiday. 😊❤️🙏

[@arthurstreeter7911]

I am now 64 but I remember his television show from my younger year's when he was with the 1st Edition

[@sharonrichardson7403]

Totally loved this man and his music... Grew up listening to him and his song "Lady" was the first song at my wedding No one will ever be like Kenny

[@christopherarmata823]

My favorite songs are lady and buy me a rose

[@alabamatruthseeker454]

In 1974, when I was 19, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition were playing at a club called The Plush Horse, in Huntsville, Alabama and I got to see them. I was at a table up front, trying to get a photo of the entire band. He saw me and stopped the show. He told everyone to come to the front of the stage and they posed for me to take photos. I walked up to the stage to thank him and he touched my face, which I swore I would never wash again. lol. He was so gracious and kind and I was a lifelong fan.

[@limlianhui9462]

My parents played a lot of great music, and a lot of it was in English so I did hear the Gambler and Islands in the Stream quite a bit growing up. Then Kenny actually came to my country to open his restaurants-which we thought was mind-blowing, because he was this huge music star and he didn’t just go anywhere. Still eat there, still as good as ever. Great memories of a real life music legend. RIP the one and only Kenny Rogers.

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

his last song i sobbed so hard great song the goodbye song

[@traceytaylor3087]
