[@pammorgan721]

"And somewhere in the darkness , The Gambler he broke even"...RIP Kenny :(

[@herrzimm]

By far one of the best Kenny Rogers song to react to is "Coward Of The County".

[@josereyesreyes977]

Coward of the county my favorite kenny track.

[@sheenakinman8506]

I was thinking the same thing

[@richiewells25]

Agreed

[@jeremymaendel5846]

Agreed.

[@sickandtired12]

This song has come full circle. He's passing his final wisdom on to you; just as the gambler did for him. Kenny Rogers total legend.

The coward of the county is another good Kenny Rodgers classic, great reaction dude!

[@genah_spengentertainment9632]

[@drittenberry1]

This is Grandma from Texas. 😘🇺🇸. I remember when this song first came out. You know I agree with you on your reaction to this video and what you did when he said you got to know when to fold em you did posture your hands in prayer and I always thought that too. Great minds think alike huh😘 God bless all you kids out there busting your butts to entertain a lot of us who are home bound because of age related illness. God bless you🙏

[@cnatview]

It's amazing..... Since hearing of Kenny's passing, the world, in its current chaos seems a bit darker today. Thanks for bringing Kenny's music alive today and thanks for your review.

[@christibrown204]

Awesome reaction video. Thank you for doing this as a tribute and a show of respect to a living legend. Rest in the arms of our Lord, Kenny.

[@rodalf6062]

He made country music cross the borders of the United States, a unique label in his style, "The Gambler" the country style anthem and so many other hits, like not forgetting his movies. thanks to you in my country and in the world country music was known, feel proud americans for having had this legend and great artist Without a doubt, the legend, the king of country music, thanks for you beatiful music. RIP Kenny Rogers. From Chile.

[@Charmed636363]

Coward of the County is one of his best songs. The end will give you chills and make you shout YES!

[@artyom8626]

R.I.P Kenny Rogers 👍🏻 ❤️

[@magesentron]

Unreal how easy his storytelling is. That's how music should be. Each song should tell you a story.

[@Exodia72]

Kenny Rogers checking out in the midst of an apocalypse....maybe he knows something we don't. RIP Kenny Rogers, your a true legend.

[@elizabethstanford6826]

I could not believe that when I first heard it this morning but all day I just couldn't stop crying and I know that may be stupid but I had immense respect to Kenny Rogers. Kenny gave us so much good music and he was a kind person if you saw him in person he took the time to speak to everyone of his fans. I am really going to miss him. Rest in peace Kenny Rogers.

[@CBF42]

Thank you for this! RIP Kenny 🙏❤

[@jackmandu]

Thanks for the tribute. I enjoyed the reaction and comments.

[@davidallan6250]

I would really like you to see Kenny and Lionel together singing “ lady” live. It was what humanity should be.

[@jamjam8793]

I watch that all the time. It is beautiful, humanity at it's finest!

[@steveakhurst7845]

Thank you for the reaction ... RIP Kenny

[@ithilnin123]

Thanks for doing this one, Doc. It’s a fitting tribute to a legend. 💁🏻‍♀️💕💕

[@sararummelTx]

Kenny Rogers was an amazing guy my Uncle was the head of his security he was very generous he was a true gentleman

[@mistymikus2438]

RIP Kenny Rogers..... I think u Sir are one of the people who understood the analogy of the song 🎵

[@kurtwhiddon6751]

Life is a gamble!! Play your cards right. Love your reactions.

[@jjowen2012]

Rest in Peace Kenny Rogers. Thank you for honoring him and his talent

[@howieronay]

Yessir. This songs a song about life, the songs a metaphor

[@jasonschropp15]

Great song, Great Singer Kenny Rogers. Also great review sir. Thank you.

[@kendixon7118]

Thank you for paying your respect for the man well done

[@gagirl0499]

Thank you for honoring him.

[@michaelbaldry4378]

Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers, I love the distinction it highlights between fighting to PROVE you are a man, and fighting because you ARE a man.

[@ny1018]

thanks for paying tribute to him～ he is such a legend

[@crimsontide2186]

Besides my granddad, all of my heroes growing up were football coaches and musicians. Is there another group of people on planet earth that gives you more life lessons without you even realizing it in the moment? I remember Gene Stallings always saying, "Don't beat yourself," and there are parts of this song that remind me of that. Sometimes we have to punt or fold in life and that is not always a bad thing. Great reaction. RIP Kenny Rogers.

[@garethlewis2258]

When I was 10 years old , this was the very first song I learned to play on guitar. I’m now 40 and this is the first time I’ve ever seen the video . R.I.P Kenny Rogers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@nberrypatch02]

Another good story told in song is "Coward of the County". I always loved that one just a bit more than "The Gambler" or "Lucille", which is yet another sad tale of a broken hearted man... I've been listening to him since I was a little kid (turning 53 next month). he was such a great story teller & that iconic raspy voice is like no other. Thank you & RIP Kenny, for now it's time to "go count your money, because the dealin' is done & you are no longer sittin' at the table" with us...

[@starchild824]

Had to click on this one, as a little girl my mom listened to this song, but I really listened and I've lived my life with the meaning behind it.

[@cincylaw14]

This is such a weird memory, but I remember being like 5 years old and listening to this song ON A RECORD in my tiny wooden rocking chair over and over. No idea why. We weren’t from the hills or big country fans or anything. It just hit me back the. Much love, Gambler. 💜 Edit: this song is special to me. Thanks for doing it proper, Doc!

[@jamiemiller7068]

Check out his song "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" I love his music.

[@Chualland]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2HZnquGqMqansk

[@uuasnyder]

Doc... my dude.... you really should check out "The Greatest"..... one of his newer songs.... but still amazing...

[@amandak2237]

The Greatest or Buy Me A Rose

[@ShoalBear]

Yeah....what a pitcher!!

[@paulamoysin9175]

It's a great song! He has so many hits.

[@thomascullen4464]

Dude, you got a real solid understanding of this song. RIP Kenny, thanks for this vid.

[@bar5radass]

The entire song is using gambling as a metaphor for life, none of it’s really about gambling.

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Check out Coward of the County

[@Chualland]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_PpKqnd79qq5Y

[@kj320175]

Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in- Kenny Rogers

[@beondhuman]

I can never hear that song without picturing the dream sequence from The Big Labowski.

[@renatareibuddysmama2534]

He's a great story teller just like Dolly Pardon.

[@joshuajames1067]

Grew up on this song its a timeless classic love from Wisconsin bro 🤝✌️

[@AnthonyfromtheD]

RIP KENNY ROGERS.. S/O YOU FOR DOING THE VIDEO..

[@Laska_00]

I was literally checking out some of his stuff yesterday and I read a fake report that he was dead, which he had to clear up, and when I woke up this morning he had unfortunately passed away... my dad is a really big fan of his, rest easy

[@jamjam8793]

I would love to see a reaction to Island in the Stream. Beautiful duet with Kenny and Dolly Parton

[@jamesdemarco7161]

They were never playing cards. They were just riding a train together. The gambler said he has made a living by knowing what the situation is by the look in people's eyes. Then he goes on to say: if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces... while he relates it to cards, he is talking about life.

[@ScottMaresh]

Thank you for the reaction! And thank you for being one of the few reactions to actually get the deeper meaning of the song! If you haven't already, would love to hear your reaction to Kenny's Coward of the County. Peace.

[@lina056]

George Jones: If Drinking Don’t Kill Me When The Grass Grows Over Me He Stopped Loving Her Today I’m absolutely shocked nobody has recommended any of these songs (that I’ve seen, of course). Every single one of these will stop you in your tracks and make you listen. I’ve never heard hurt like these songs. Even just to have them in your music collection, not even for a reaction video. You won’t be disappointed.

[@spartiate567]

Doc, I like your reactions, including toward this song, which I value very much. I want to tell a story here. A few years ago, a "Bio-Ethicist", which in this case was a fancy word for a Nazi murderer, was, in America, proposing that disabled people be killed against their will, because, he said, nobody who is seriously disabled can really have a life worth living. Well, an activist for the disabled spoke in response to this. This activist had been born paralyzed below the waist. He had never walked and probably never will. Now that's a pretty grim hand do be dealt in life. But, he pointed out, nobody in this life gets dealt all the cards they want. NOBODY. No great artists; no celebrity; no political leader; no billionaire, nobody. The richest and most powerful have family troubles; loved ones die or sometimes turn on them; plans they counted on fall through. This wheelchair-bound guy said that the thing to do in this life is to take the cards you were given and play them as best you can. Of course loss and disappointment hurt, but you can either wallow in them or get on with what you CAN do. In fact, let me give a personal example. I injured my knee nearly 50 years ago. It progressively has gotten worse. I lost a cartilage, and have developed serious arthritis. So many things I was not able to do. I never got to try rock climbing. I had to give up riding a bicycle, because if I lose my balance and have to catch myself with the bad knee I could injure it much worse. I could go on. But i have pursued goals that my knee did not interfere with. I cannot do karate, because jumping and kicking are out of the question, but in Judo you can work around an injury, and if you practice long enough, you can succeed with skill where your body has limitations. I know have a 3rd degree black belt. They did not give it to me. I earned it. Every hand is a winner as well as a loser.

[@lowtempo711]

Kenny Rodgers was the 2pac of his time and place...

[@beaustraley8416]

Never ever regret your job. I we need you.

[@megagalactickanye454]

Nailed the metaphors. No idiot here.

[@WizardPandora]

The Gambler broke even last night, and he'll be deeply missed

[@ValerieBoyco]

R.I.P Kenny, your music has been with me since I was a little girl! If you haven't heard Coward of the County by him, I think you would like t.

[@stephanievangossen7229]

Every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser...glass half full or glass half empty. 😊

[@largemouthhunter5014]

[@focuskgblevins8122]

RIP Kenny Rogers! Do Coward of the County, and Scarlet Fever!

[@melissagerber7231]

It is called, play the hand you're dealt. Make the most of the cards life gives you,good or bad.

[@beckygould7509]

Kenny passed at the age of 81 RIP Kenny, we’ll miss you !!

[@sharichoate4311]

Charley Pride--Kiss An Angel Good Morning

[@sntbozeman]

You have to do “The Coward of the County”, and “The Greatest”. “The Coward of the County” is One of the best stories ever told in a country song, and that is saying something about a song in a genre full of stories. And “The Greatest” is an amazing story and song as well. RIP Kenny, and God Bless.

[@lynnmckee2229]

Please do more Kenny Rogers, he has so many great songs, Coward of the County, She Believes in Me, Through the Years and many more. RIP Kenny ❤

A good story song by Kenny is "Long Arm of the Law"

[@DixiesAttic]

Listen to Coward of the County, you will go through a rollercoaster of feelings

[@Chualland]

That song helped me out in Basic Training. It might be weird but when you need some good memories when you are having to do all sorts of crap and you need motivation. Here are some of the other songs that I would recommend. Lucielle - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoSnh56amLRrqtU Ruby Don't take your love to town - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3-0p5Wgf8qIqM0 Coward of the County - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_PpKqnd79qq5Y

[@keithgriffin1938]

I up here in this soremember growingle my mom would play and I always thought it was about actual cards not an actual life itself and the Hand you're dealt

[@christinegreen3974]

Not sure if this was mentioned, but there's a movie based on this song.

[@davey3884]

Yeah it's a deeper song than it seems at first, it's about life advice not just gambling..

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

Great reaction !

[@daistoke1314]

You can live your life thinking your hands a loser Or you can make it a winner.
