Sweet lord I just love Kenny Rogers he was one of the best and still is and in my opinion always will be. Lord has him a great singer in heaven to listen to RIP Mr. Rogers. So glad I got to see him in the 80’s. Have a pic of him in concert my mom took it is one of my most memorable pictures. This is awesome and i agree I don’t know how I ever missed this like you because this is awesome. Thanks for this video.

The earliest recording of this song was in 1936, so many people have done it my two favorites are this one and Tennesse Ernie Ford on a Christmas special and it so different from this one. Enjoy

I know it's not a Christmas song but please check out Home Free singing with Lee Greenwood and the USAF Sgt's "God Bless The USA" . I think it was done during lockdown so it's in three different locations. Love your take on music and i have two Redheaded sisters also.

Home Free is such a class act! They always pay homage to the artists that paved the way. I 'm near 70 years old and I've followed the Oaks since the 60's, Kenny since the 60's, Alabama since the late 70's and Home free since 2013! Vocal harmony is my passion, and they all satisfy that in me whenever I hear them sing! Your channel has invigorated this old man because I see the same passion in you! God bless you red for sharing these reactions with us!

My Kenny Rogers experience, started with Ruby. Then with Dolly, who was MY first crush, for two very good reasons. I’ve been a Homefry for a while and they are so fun. Performed this song with a few different choirs, last one we had ten part harmony. Ok my ginger friend(I’m a ginger too)time to get busy with some Pentatonix Christmas music, you won’t be sorry. They’ve won 3 Grammy Awards, so they must be doing something right.

They sounded great together 😊 Home Free was supposed to preform this on The Tonight Show with Kenny but they were so unlucky with flights being cancelled as much as they tried it unfortunately didn’t happen by the time they got there it was to late but they did get to spend time with Kenny backstage. After Kenny passed they guys recorded The Gambler as a tribute to him.

How many times have we heard, "Didn't expect that!" from a Home Free reactor? With video after video - so many surprising things from HF. With Tim's standing bass imitation and Adam's drum kit, it is far too easy to forget there are no separate instruments. I still have to remind myself time after time.

Kenny had that special sound quality, very unique, that would instantly identify him in a song even if you don’t see him! This was indeed special! They definitely put a Home Free spin on it but at the same time kept it classic! Sometime after Christmas you will have to listen to their remake, with Don McClain, of American Pie. Don also heard them and he wanted to remake it all these years later cause it still fits! Great reaction Red, enjoyed it! Low bass Kenneth

I knew you would love this amazing confluence of talents! Being classically trained (and biased), I didn't enjoy country music until Home Free turned it upside down for me in 2013. There were a few exceptions -- Kenny Rogers, Willy Nelson and Dolly Parton always got replays. So this is, hands down, one of my favorite Christmas songs! Your uncle was a lucky man. Thank you for sharing your joyful reactions with us!

Love your smiles and enthusiastic reactions. Great family stories that enhance the over all experience of listening to Kenny Rogers and Home Free. During the lock down they did a cover of his "The Gambler." When you get a chance I would love to see you react to that one as well. I am also looking forward to you reacting to some of their original material. There is just so much material to choose from and of course they are all winners. May you have a wonderful holiday season. Until next time.

And another great reaction, Red! Thanks for sharing! I have a Kenny Rogers story for ya. Back in '83, I started my 1st real job working for a menswear manufacturer In Dallas who was the maker of the jackets for the Kenny Rogers Collection. I actually got to meet him every year when he would visit to check out the new line of jackets for that year. Thanks to my employee discount (applied to the entirety of the collection, not just what we made), I was decked out, head to almost toe in Kenny Rogers branded clothing. Except his boots. I owned a couple pair but I've never been a fan of cowboy boots.

He didnt stop making music its just the new country radio statuons wouldnt play it. I heard this when it came out on a country oldes station. Most all the new country mustic sounds like pop and soft rock of the late 60's. Like Allen Jackson said they killed country music. In my opinion it died when they cut the western off the name.
