First time watching Kenny Rogers “Through The Years” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@josephavila2712]

My grandparents got married after 50 years “together” and I was a groomsman lol. My grandma walked the isle to this song. Changed my life forever.

[@harpergras]

This is one of my favorites by Kenny...An awesome song...My wife plays Kenny`s song every day over our 35 years of marriage and it never gets old.

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Through the years the Ladies had a nickname for Kenny Rogers as he was known as "The Silver Fox."

[@John-tn7nm]

OMG BJ 7:49 Asia was feeling you. But you kept talking 9:00 and she took it away from you. Dang! 😂

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

His voice, his lyrics, the beautiful instruments supporting his vocals- doesn’t get any better!❤

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hi Asia & BJ, Kenny Rogers (R.I.P.) will always be a "National Treasure!!!" And just like Asia said, "you can't go wrong with Kenny!!!"

[@potooleftl]

The problem with the world today is they don't make love songs anymore. What a song....

[@scottvanhille5688]

Kenny's voice is just so soothing and relaxing. I can see Asia singing this to BJ after 40+ years of marriage. Wouldn't that be sweet?

[@CAPTWESS-nd8ep]

I'm 72 and have been listening to Kenny since I was in my teens when he was in the First Edition! He's not with us in body anymore, but he left a legacy that few will ever achieve! He was one of the good ones! RIP Kenny!

[@rayhanks8529]

this song was written for you two, PERIOD !!,,, Love you both !!!

[@LadyGator1983]

Kenny is definitely a treasure!!! This song is the song!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@greeneyelove2003]

He had one of the greatest voices in country music. He could just hit the heart with the romantic ballads and turn around and just captivate you with his story songs like "The Gambler" And "Coward Of The County"

[@angelajakem366]

He had a great voice without the twang. Thats what I loved about him.

[@shellymarquez9320]

This is my parents song! I get emotional when I hear it because they’ve danced to this song at every family wedding! It fits them so well!❤️❤️❤️

[@kathrynkissane5144]

Awwwwww

[@andrewkelley434]

Another song of his that's just as good is "You Decorated My Life", definitely the studio version :)

[@aggiemom4894]

Love Kenny Rogers RIP💙

[@Ray1969.]

Don’t sleep on BJ Asia! That brother is smooth

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Kenny has a great ballad called She Believes In Me. Also, You Decorated My Life.

[@JamesSmith-ti5jc]

Lionel wrote Lady, him and Kenny was so TIGHT, he gave it 2 Kenny, and th rest is histry, if U search & look, U can actually find th story, & histry, & U can actually find them doin a duo 😎👍

[@Frostrazor]

you two were so fkn hysterical at the end there. THATS the sign a true healthy happy marriage - when you can just laugh at each other lovingly and still know in your hearts you wouldn't really ever change a thing.

[@charissakington606]

Yup! Hilarious 😂

[@donnabannister793]

Thankyou!!! for loving ME and our babies❤️ for teaching us.. by showing us, what LOVE really is!!!❤️ Hey Asia & Bj... love and appreciate you BOTH💯💜💜 FOE

[@AsiaandBJ]

You are so kind we appreciate you too Donna!! FOE

[@jojo-xu4iz]

Heard this growing up so much at my grandparents house. Such nostalgia.

[@charissakington606]

He was so amazing. I still have my Kenny Rogers poster I hung on my wall in the 70s as a young girl and even throughout high school. Listen to 20 YEARS AGO... one of his more "recent" ones (90s I think) but that song hits me every time!!! Especially has I get older. PS - I love that BJs mom was a huge fan too. ❤️

[@GS-xt8fu]

Lionel and Kenny weren’t just friends. Very good friends. They really loved each other like brothers. They vacationed together etc. Lionel refused the first several request to be interviewed after Kenny’s death. He was polite and everyone wanted to know all the details and knew that Lionel would know. Lionel sent out a message. I will share my feelings and thoughts on Kenny soon but as of right now I can not , it hurts to much and I am in mourning. I thought that was cool……just please give me some time.

[@berniceanne4959]

❤ My absolute favourite of his songs, beautiful lyrics.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here.., WOW.., I have very specific memories ( of my parents)..with this paticular song...."He Swoons"and "He's too smooth"..U2 are 2 CUTE!!!..Yes..he and Lionel collabed...(So Awesome!)..Sure could be either one of their songs!🥰

[@kimzwolinski9919]

How could anyone not love Kenny ❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Love Kenny Rogers music from when he was with the First Edition (60's-70's) to his solo career. He was a great story teller in many of his songs like "Coward Of The County" & "The Gambler". He had so many hits "Lucille", "She Believes In Me", "You & I", "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" etc. He did a lot of duets such as with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer", with Sheena Easton "We've Got Tonight" & with Dolly Parton "Islands In The Stream". He also did quite a few duets with Dottie West.

[@margejohnson5372]

This song gives me chills and tears❤

[@ninacabacarvaldez1754]

Love Kenny. Love seeing y’all jam to our old school tunes

[@edwardlewis8758]

6:21 Lionel Richie wrote, "Lady" for Kenny ( wait till U hear HIS version......) but Lionel simply plays the piano on this one.......

[@LadyGator1983]

Written by Marty Panzer and Steve Dorff

[@debchristman7369]

Hi Asia & Bj ! First let me say - you two are so awesome & I watch all you video reactions. I would like to share something with you and everyone ... You are not going to believe this but it is a true story ... My mom was in Vegas playing poker at a table in a casino, And she kept hearing them play Kenny Rogers songs throughout the casino because at that time that Kenny Rogers was just starting to become really famous ... They were playing the songs like the gambler, coward of the county etc Well, after playing poker for a couple hours with this gentlemen with a mustache and full beard and wearing a cowboy hat - the man had decided he was finished playing poker .. he got up and he said goodbye to everyone at the table ... and it was THEN my mom and her friend realized that they had actually been playing poker with the KENNY ROGERS !! My mom was like Omg ! We have been playing poker with Kenny Rogers this whole time ! No wonder they we're playing all these Kenny Rogers songs ! They found out that he was actually performing and staying at that hotel. She said he was so good looking, very polite, soft spoken - and was such a down to earth kinda person - had she had known it was him, she would of asked for his autograph ... isn't that something ?!! I just had to share my moms experience of seeing him etc in person !

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Omg u guys crack me up! If anybody didn't watch till the end, go back and finish watching BJ steppin in it AND putting it in his mouth. I was like, "damn bro, no, stop BJ, stop", but then when he said he would call his Mama up for some corn bread, I lost it. Oooohhhh BJ u done did it now my friend. RIP in advance in case Asia cant hold back no more 😁😁

[@Jagangela]

Thanks for the heads up...definitely worth the wait....thanks.

[@joebeard4687]

Cool fact... Kenny's mother used to live here in Crockett, TX. He loved Crockett but couldn't live here due to his work. In the Senior Citizens Center where his mother frequently went, there was a "Kenny Rogers room" that was full of his pictures and memorabilia.

[@Frostrazor]

top 3 Fav KR song for me. This is my mom's favorite. I grew up with KR on the radio all the time, my mom just adored him. So everytime I hear Kenny and this song specifically, it makes me think of her.

[@laurogarza4953]

Kenny was able to sing in a way that touched women's hearts not unlike Humperdict and Jones. Now, given the lyrics of this beautifully romantic song, women, young and old, weep at hearing it so wonderfully performed. Young women weep because the song represents what they all seek and pray, yet older women shed tears and give praise for the recognition of the life they have been blessed to lead. I also think that it is important that a man like Rogers performed this romantic song because many men feel this way but struggle to say it or express it in any way that is as romantic as Rogers though we, regular, untalented and not very handsome men try. More romantic songs are difficult to find and greater performers than Rogers are also. I'm very glad y'all have continued to learn about Kenny and the value of great music and its commentary on life, love, devotion and passing.

[@metalmark1214]

One of the most famous anthems of marital fidelity, "Through The Years" finds Rogers singing about a lifelong companion who has been his steadfast support. At the time, he was married to his fourth wife, the actress Marianne Gordon. They divorced in 1993. Kenny Rogers died, March 20, 2020. R.I.P.

[@mikelesley2803]

You two are a great example of two people who love each other and are good friends. I wish you a long and happy relationship full of love and devotion.

[@nataliamcdonald4298]

My grandma decided this song to my grandpa they were together for over 30 years he passed 12yrs old. And she passed Sep 24th this year and now there both in heaven dancing to this song again. I missed both of them and one day I’ll see both of the again Gods Grace 😢❤

[@cheewooleong5066]

Lionel and Kenny collaborated on "Lady" when Lionel chose Kenny to sing that song, and then he started producing Kenny's songs. This one definitely sounds like a Lionel produced record. Y'all reaction was so precious, you both melting down as the song went on 🙂

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Lionel wrote Lady & I know you watched Kenny when he performed it when it was brand new. Now you, must watch the performance at the CMT awards just before Kenny died. He sings it WITH Lionel & tells the story behind it. The beauty of their 30 year friendship is a beautiful thing to witness. A must watch. The love between them makes me cry every time I watch it. Just put Lionel & Kenny singing Lady in the search box. Then you need to check out Kenny's 'The Gambler' & 'Coward of the County'. Story songs.

[@poguemom3]

Y’all are so sweet together and so fun! Love your reactions so much! ❤

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

Have always loved this song! My husband and I just had our 20yr anniversary and it means so much more the older we get!💖💖

[@Frostrazor]

congrats on 20! We just celebrated 25.

[@AsiaandBJ]

That is awesome! Happy Anniversary!!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Happy Anniversary!!

[@richardhenderson9767]

"Love Will Turn You Around", "You Decorated My Life", "Twenty Years Ago"... He has duets with Sheena Easton, "We've Got Tonight", and Kim Carnes, "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer"....

[@ens7ob]

This was my wedding song. Met my wife at 16 years old and everyone said it would never last, been 34 years and two children later and still going strong. Still hold hands every night when we get into bed to fall asleep.

[@Madminute1968]

WOW, the strings are Outstanding, true professionals!

[@fabian4ever69]

We had Senior Follies in high school which was skits, songs, and anything students wanted to perform...their talent. One of our classmates sang this song and dedicated it to all of us. Beautiful song.

[@easylivingwhatdoyouthink]

This song’s lyrics came from the pen of songwriter Marty Panzer. When he went over to collaborator Steve Dorff's house for dinner, he showed Dorff the lyrics in progress. They rushed over to the piano, and the rest is history.

[@John-tn7nm]

Listen to Kenny Rogers - The Greatest, it will put a smile on your face. Guarantee.

[@marilyn4917]

Kenny had that sexy grandpa look! He turned gray early and the women loved it. The ladies loved his singing but he sure wasn’t hard on the eyes.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

My all time favourite Kenny song. It just hits you in ALL the feels. Love Will Yurn You Around is another great one to check out. It's from a movie called Six Pack.

[@kellysteele4311]

Kenny also starred in movies too. One childhood fav was " 6 pack"

[@saturnnet1627]

BJ had me cracking up so much about the bathtub and cornbread I forget this was a reaction and not a comedy show. Great reaction Asia and BJ!

[@GS-xt8fu]

Damn……….Kenny. So good. Smooth, warm and classy. Kenny.

[@carlaeidemiller58]

There was one he did, before he was country, when he did rock with a group called The First Edition. You might enjoy it, "Ruby".

[@phineaspepper3530]

I know this was a song that they used for a mega soap opera couple from the 80s--like Bo and Hope (Days), Cruz and Eden (Santa Barbara), Kelly and Joe, etc. I remember this being used in a couple montage from back then. Love this song and those montages. Sigh. 80s ballads are the best.

[@headedsomewhere]

I've listened to Kenny since he sang with Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, which was soft rock, or Pop. Anyway, you guys were to cute on this one and a joy to watch. Thanks for the much needed smile today #Peace Out ;0

[@kmoto48]

In case no one’s said it yet, the song BJ was thinking of at the beginning might be “Holding Back the Years” by Simply Red. Sounded similar to the first few lines. Loved the reaction though…when music was still music.

[@cindyerick2968]

This one is so good. I love Kenny Rogers. You should listen to the Osmonds rendition of this song. They did this song on their 50th Anniversary Reunion. The song is gorgeous with all the harmony behind it. I really think you would enjoy it. Thanks .

[@midnightblue6668]

Kenny Rogers has soooo many amazing hits. You could do another 40 reactions and you'd get the bulk of them. I assume you've already done "Islands in the Stream" and "The Gambler". Have you done: Desperado (amazing cover of the Eagles' song), Love Will Turn You Around, Sweet Music Man, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer, You Decorated My Life...that's a good start for now.

[@spgjdg]

This song was written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer.

[@melaniebrown4660]

The video hasn’t even started yet and I’m already tearing up. Such a great song and there’s no love like a long-time love ❤

[@forgetunome]

Kenny Rogers can definitely swoon the women with his songs! But, I love watching your reactions and listening to you and BJ banter! Such a lovely couple and funny. I think you two will definitely make it through the years! Love the energy you deliver in your reactions! BJ needs to go get his cornbread from Momma next time tho'! LOL! ❤❤😁😁💕💕

[@AsiaandBJ]

No doubt! lol

[@petersconrad3917]

Nice reaction. Some of the songs that Kenny Rogers sang was written by the Bee Gees and Lionel Richie. Through the years is like you stay faithful and truly not only one week.

[@oldscool65]

Kenny started out in a band called ‘The New Edition’, they were a light rock band.

[@edwardvalencia525]

Wasn't it the " First Edition ".

[@oldscool1965]

@@edwardvalencia525 I believe you are right.

[@724riff]

Fnnnnnnnn cracking me up , I love you folks and keep it real no lie. She was giving you the stank eye well before the cornbread got burnt though. Peace out and thanks for the emotion you share

[@aggiemom4894]

Lol y'all crack me up!!!! Love the reaction

[@kajabrill2404]

[@davidsonchris737]

Hello Asia & B.J, Check out this Kenny Rodgers ( Morning Desire) this is my favorite!

[@Mercenaries3]

You are right both Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie were friends and Lionel Richie wrote Lady for Kenny Rogers. Not sure if Kenny wrote for Lionel. The writer of this song is Marty Panzer.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Kenny Rogers good looks and voice makes this ole woman weak in the knees 😱

[@stacymoore9836]

I sent this to my husband on messenger. He’s at work. I told him that this should make you think of me 💝😁🤗🥰

[@quixote6942]

If you love her, the cornbread isn't "Burnt", she's made it "with a thick Crispy Edge". Instead of "Not Cleaning the Shower", you "can't even Bathe without feeling Surrounded by her presence".

[@ursulaturner7980]

There's not a bad Kenny Roger's song... Frfr I love him.❤

[@757optim]

"written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer". I think I saw that Lionel produced it.

[@luckyskittles8976]

Check out Kenny Rodgers with the First Edition---Ruby (don't take your love to town)😪

[@esdel1955]

This song sounds a lot like Boz Scaggs’ “We’re All Alone.” I think Boz’s song came first. You really should hear it, it’s so beautiful.

If only I could singing Kenny, I'd be in there . Her , who you put you where
