Listening to the legendary Kenny Rogers' Lady with the wife (Reaction!)

[@adammays9531]

When Kenny debuted this song...1.6 million babies were conceived.

[@mixy5179]

My dad called my mom, Lady, my entire life. Every card, every note, was 'To My Lady' in reference to this song. I'm almost 50 yrs now, and dad passed in Dec/22. This song means so much to me now. ❤

[@ionecuff6323]

And that is the way the song should be thought of, what it does to the heart, the soul, and the devotion to your true love. This song was first sung by Lionel Richie & I used to dream that someday, some how, someone would think of me that way. Then Kenny re-made it and those feelings came back. At least I know there are those out there that have experienced, cherished, and respected those once in a lifetime loves. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your parents are so very blessed.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

what a beautiful memory of your parents. Yay you.

[@karenbliss8719]

That is so sweet!!! My parents will be celebrating their 67th anniversary in March. Long marriages always amaze me. God bless!

[@trunktrollz]

How lovely!!!! The first few notes always give me goosebumps. Legendary artist and song ❤

[@donnafriend]

Seems Lost on You Both

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Now you must watch the version of Kenny & Lionel doing it together in Las Vegas, at MGM Grand, in 2012, a few years before Kenny passed. Lionel was being honored and Kenny told the story of this song & the love & 30 year friendship between them is such a beautiful thing to see. Then they do it together. Makes me cry no matter how many times I see it. 'Old Kenny' still was amazing. Lionel also recorded this beauty. Kenny sings another love song like this called 'through the years' & is perfect for couples. Another beauty. (And that last note got the ladies! LOL)

[@phineaspepper3530]

Yes, this is a great video clip. I have watched many times.

[@lisacaringello2138]

Yes the Lionel and Kenny video is the very best. Hope they check that one out , even on their own. They did have a beautiful friendship.

[@amandarivard2160]

YES!!! It's like watching two masters play tennis. It's such a beautiful rendition and their love for each other as friends is palpable.

[@darrenshoults4620]

I have to say seeing Lionel and Kenny sing this song was so beautiful, seeing the respect, friendship, and love makes me teary-eyed every time.

[@DebiNahm]

When our daughter was born on 1980, Lady was the #1 hit. At that moment, my husband decided that if the baby was a girl this would be the song he would dance with her at her wedding. Fast forward to July of 2006 and the father daughter dance was to Lady. He was so thrilled to dance to this amazing song with his lil Lady at her wedding.

[@otisroseboro5613]

Nice 👍🙂

[@brendaholt7767]

Whenever my husband and I would here this song, he would tell me that I was his lady. He didn't vocalize his feelings all the time, but when he did, he meant it! He's been gone for almost 21 yrs now but I still get tears when I listen to this. Thank you!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I love how he tells you someone else wrote the song and then sings it and you believe he means every word he says. Great artist ❤

[@finallythere100]

and why are they having a discussion about karaoke in the middle of this beautiful song ?

[@TheDailyRipple]

Young people these days always feel sorry for us older people because we didn't have all the things they have today, but I feel sorry for all you young ones because you didn't live through the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s....... What a blessing!!!

[@mervincombs6640]

amen

[@steveklein1949]

I was extremely lucky, I lived thru 60's twice. Think about it.

[@firemedic5100]

Lionel Richie is a great song writer. Kenny was the epitomy of romantic singers. This great hit will never be outdone.

[@carihuston8929]

Other than by Lionel Richie singing 3 Times A Lady!

[@stevecausier4299]

I sang this song to my wife, my daughter was born 9 months later ! That tells it all !

[@aliciasaracino1233]

lol true romantic.

[@totalityofscripture1001]

As a guy who grew up in the late 70s I can remember my dad playing this on the record player and I believe we had it on 8 track as well. I think of my parents every time I hear this song.

[@tmorris53]

You realize how many kids were born 9 months after this was released. Women melted to this song back then, and I would suppose a few still do.

[@marinemike1559]

Kenny is second to none! Grew up watching my Dad dance with my Mom to this as he'd sing it to her. She'd be smiling ear to ear. ❤❤

[@mrreed2000]

To the young lady reacting to “Lady”, I have never seen a woman not even get moved by this song of love that Kenny has for his “Lady”. Yet to the young man, bravo, you got it. That was so nice to see. The fact that you wanted to surprise your “Lady” with this song was beautiful yet she didn’t seem to get that. 🥺🥺🥺

[@stevenporras5309]

Absolutely agree!

[@staudtj1]

I also thought that if she recognized the effect on her husband she would also understand his feelings towards her ??

[@Elisa-vg4qt]

I agree! Very weird.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Kenny Rogers concert was my first date with a man who became my husband. This was our 1st dance song at the wedding. We were married 29 1/2 years when he passed away.

[@tlgarrison8433]

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I pray the love you shared will carry you through and his memory will always be a blessing.

[@bella-xp7qd]

@tlgarrison8433 thank you.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

His growl is everything! Perfect for the song!

[@MC-jv9ed]

Fun fact: Lionel and Kenny were very good friends with the utmost respect for each other and each other's talent. Lifelong, wonderful friendship.

[@mooboy2000]

I always loved Kenny Rogers and this will always be my favorite song sang by him. It was always kinda my song to sing along with to my wife when it would come on the radio or such. She passed away almost 2 years ago now and I just sat here trying to sing along but crying most of it heh. This will, in my opinion, always be the ultimate love song.

[@andrewschliewe6392]

This is one of the greatest love songs ever written.

[@Wolverines77]

"She Believes in Me" is another Kenny Roger's must listen to...

[@misslora3896]

Kenny Rogers, that voice with his rasp and those songs... It will always be sexy and never ever feel tired and old. An awful lot of babies were made to this mans voice. He and Lionel have always been 2 of my all time favorites and it's no surprise they were such wonderful friends.

[@foreveryoung3254]

Legendary is the right word for Kenny. Such a beautiful voice.

[@jamiebrooks9636]

He’s was such a wonderful singer I had the pleasure of meeting him such a wonderful man R.I.P. Kenny you will be so missed love you always

[@greekadmirer2204]

He sings it beautifully ❤❤Sadly missed …

[@donna9195]

"Lady", is the most romantic song ever written and sung. Thank you, Lionel and Kenny.

[@rawiea]

Kenny Rogers started as a Rock artist in the 1960's with a group called the First Edition. He was good back then also.

[@carihuston8929]

Wasn’t he with The New Christy Minstrels?

[@MommaBird52]

My favorite version of this is Kenny singing it with Lionel Richie. You can tell the love they had for each other!

[@chipmchugh5556]

Lionel was writing this song and the name of it was "Baby". He and Kenny we talking and Kenny told Lionel that he had met a real Lady that he was smitten with and Lionel changed the name of the song to "Lady".

[@alexakl6445]

Another lovely ballad he does is, "You've Decorated My Life" and you have to check out "Islands in the Stream" with Dolly Parton as others have said below. Loved your reaction! This is one of my favorite live performances.

[@davidcorum5083]

Please, please watch the video years later of Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie singing this song on stage together . Love your reactions. I feel you. PS, will be 70 in March. I’ve lived all the classic rock you’re looking at and experiencing for the first time. Magical reactions to songs I’ve enjoyed for over 50 years.

[@amandabilger2235]

A little known story about this song. Kenny and Lionel were in the studio and Kenny kept singing the song but he wasn't happy with the way that it was sounding. Then his wife walked in. He sang the song to her and it was perfect. That is the way that he sang the song from then on.

[@Billy-zv6gv]

Iconic Kenny Rogers made musical history! Thank you for experiencing this classic! Have you done his: The Gambler? It's metaphorically priceless! And Islands in the Stream duet with Dolly Parton?

[@hollyp6395]

Kenny was also an amazing photographer. What a voice that man had. Legend.

[@Pluck1970]

No woman could resist. Powerless under this song.

[@lizreynolds4554]

Beautiful song. I have ALWAYS LOVED KENNY. all his music is great. "YOU CAN'T MAKE OLD FRIENDS." THE BEST EVER!

[@jeraldkimball494]

A lot of people don't know that Kenny got his start as a rock and roll artist.

[@michellemiles9966]

For more than a minute back in the day, this was the quintessential song for the first dance at so many weddings. Yes, that was before romance was replaced with raunch. Kenny did a duet with Dolly you should check out called Islands In The Stream.

[@SinfulBeamz]

Reminds me of waking up and hearing a commercial for hits and hearing this song playing lol

[@SinfulBeamz]

Islands in the stream that is

[@justtere]

What amazes me is no one remembers his band, The First Edition. LOL My husband and I were together a little over 34 years. He sang this to me (and a John Lennon song that was on the tip of my brain until I started writing...Woman!). We didn’t have enough time together. I have people who come to see me because of medical issues. Every one of them say I should clear off what was his side of the bed. When I explain I leave it with laptops and blankets and clothes because even now, four years after his very unexpected death, I would turn to that side of the bed to hold him. It takes days to get over the fact he's not there and never will be again. Thank you for the sweet memories you brought me of my beloved'.

[@debortahwelch9298]

I think at least for me, we were exposed to many types of music back in the 70's, R&B, Motown, Heavy Metal, Pop, Disco, Country, etc. Kenny started out as Rock and Roll, I saw him in concert as Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. He was in a buckskin outfit and his hair was long and thought he was gorg. Mom had taken myself and a few of my friends to his concert and I said to her, isn't he handsome? She was not impressed. Little did she know how really handsome he become and that even though his music was country, most of the time it went mainstream to all. That growl in his voice is something he was known for. RIP Kenny.

[@profx23]

You Decorated My Life. She Believes In Me. Both by Kenny also, and in the same style.

[@amberbucknall3072]

Don’t fall in love with a dreamer gets my feels good

[@mikefetterman6782]

I used to do Kareoke back in the 90s. I did a lot of Bob Seger, Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart songs. But when I would do this, I would literally get phone numbers tossed at me in the club while on stage. Kenny has a magic about him that translates to women incredibly.

[@aliciasaracino1233]

This man knows how to be sensual without being disrespectful he is a true romantic.

[@kathleenmenendezburgess8439]

This was such a wedding song back in the day. Love Kenny Rogers and all the memories this song stirs.

[@kimberlyprieto2846]

I love the way they we're talking and kenny laid down that first "Lady" and he put up his finger like "hold on"😂😂❤❤

[@brightsprite62]

I always crushed on Kenny. His hair, beard and stash. Love it.

[@melissacaddell2604]

Beautiful silver fox right there. I love his voice. Perfect son writing by Mr Ritchie.

[@JacquiHuston]

Kenny Rogers is not my era, but I have to say...his voice!! Never fails...

[@kristenheaslip8668]

Kenny rogers vocals are just so unique and beautiful. This song is such a classic , romantic gorgous song

[@RICHROOSTER69]

During an interview, a reporter asked Kenny" What do you think about having all these slow songs?" He said "I wouldn't want to be the guy on stage without them" perfect answer

[@jimbickel4001]

This Disco years were great but when this came out in 80 it reminded us that a love song like this, a lovers slow dance, is sooooo much better. Best Love Song EVER!!!

[@rhondadananay2106]

The words every woman wants to hear!❤️

[@Austinkyle1945]

Definitely go check out the live version of Kenny and Lionel singing this together! So cool!!

[@bessiehadley3497]

One of those wonderful, ultimate love songs. Makes me feel so good. I enjoyed watching you two reacting to it - great banter; made me feel really happy for you.

[@tvdroid22]

It was uploaded 15 yrs ago, but recorded in the early 1980's.

[@diannabroussard2020]

My earliest memories are watching my parents dance to this song in our kitchen.

[@jerrieanderson2245]

Kenny and Dolly singing Islands in the Stream is one to not miss.

[@albertwhitehead4849]

LOVE IT!!! You should give a listen to the video of Kenny and Lionel doing this one together!!!!

[@tlgarrison8433]

We were hosting 25 friends and relatives for a Thanksgiving dinner. I was checking the turkey when this song started to play. My husband came into the kitchen, closed the oven door, and swept me into his arm. He twirled and dipped me through the kitchen, dining room, and living room, apron and ovenmitt and all! 🎼🎵🎶

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

Kenny Rogers ... what a voice. I think his appeal was that he was an everyman with an incredible voice who became a star but never changed from being the everyman. He was, by all accounts a wonderful person. He was a presence as i grew up that i took for granted being so young. He was amazing. I also think his appeal lay in that he was a man, masculine, and had a strong confident presence. He was not vulgar or racy, and comported himself like a gentleman. A confident masculine gentleman whose public persona seemed to match his actual personality. No gimickry, no double life, no compromise with the underside of the music industry and a steadiness of character that apoeals to all. He was never smutty. He was a star because of that. Too many artists today lack those characteristics. They use shock value ro get notiriety from degrading themselves and devaluing and dehumanizing their audience. They want instant success and will do whatever, say whatever, sing whatever to get that instant status and they don't realize the trash they promote to do it. They compromise their characters as people. Kenny, like most genuine artists paid his dues, did the hard work over a long time, but never compromised his values and character for stardom. There was a level to which he would not descend for fame. Thus his character was not tarnished with controversy, base vulgarity, or compromise with immortality. Sadly these are qualities lacking in entertainment today, they are qualities our debased and vulgar society actually SHUNS! When we reject immorality, crassness, rudeness, and vulgarity, as a society, and when we reject the juvenilization of our culture and again set high standards of decency, public decorum, and carry ourselves with dignity and grace and show the value of our Christian virtues and stop supporting those who promote values opposite ours, then we can affect the tide of public behavior and shame those who would dehumanize with their movies, music, art and literature. If we shun base vulgarity and shallow vanity, and esteem moral decency, class, dignity and Biblical manhood and womanhood, then we'll see people like Kenny Rogers in entertainment again. People who embrace values that improve society rather than than disgusting, vulgar, immature, perverted trash that is all too common today. We contribute to the trash when we buy their albums, watch their movies, buy their art and read their trash and watch their videos and go to their concerts ( etc.). When we use our money to impovetish immorality and use it to support and bolster decency, then the entertainment industry will have to comply with our values or go bankrupt! The problem is too many people will proclaim high values but in private support base vulgarity and trash. I am not that way. I refuse to support the entertainment industry and their performers when they promote anything other than the values i have. I miss out on a lot of new things, but i am in no way negatively impacted. In fact I'm preventing our dehumanizing culture from devaluing me as a person and my family is kept from the trash of this world ad they hold fast to all that's good, kind, decent, morally upright, and to all that gives humanity its affirmation. We CAN imoact society for the better, but good people have to stop supporting the smutty trash and irreverant debased rot of this world and its disgusting perversions. Virtuous people have to stop dancing with the devil and exposing their souls to his rot!

[@sueellengallion4523]

When I was young, he was my first love ❤️ thanks

[@Barbara-h6g]

Kenny sings to every lady in person

[@tj7264]

Kenny performed this sooo good. That said, lyrically, you can close your eyes and see Lionel sing this through Kenny. The Lyrics are 100% Lionel, no mistake!

[@floridaboy6051]

There was an owner of a Corvette dealership in my hometown of Jacksonville Florida that was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers. When he went to a restaurant or store, it caused a small riot with the ladies swarming him. I saw it happen it a mall once and it was hilarious.

[@rroades]

I sang this to my bride at our wedding in 1983

[@MemeWorster]

This song was released at the time I met the man I would spend 34 years with. This was our song…

[@joshsheffield3820]

Kenny was what you call the king of the silver foxes!!

[@dennisxavier9513]

Her reaction was pricelessly honest.

[@rhettamcguire2068]

Kenny sang a lot of different genres and didn’t hit it big until he started singing country songs. He has always had a great voice but his country songs just hit different in a very special way. I had the pleasure to see him in Dolly in concert back in the day! What a great concert!!

[@truecowboy]

Kenny Rogers and the first edition did Ruby don't take your love to town. Kenny was good with FIRST EDITION

[@josephmallard9053]

Makes me think of my wife. 34 years, wow. Without her I would no doubt become a bum, for lack of a better word. Great video, great reaction.

[@shwicaz]

This song brings me to tears every damn time. What an accomplishment of songwriting (Lionel Richie) and singer (Kenny Rogers). If I was a woman, i would LOVE someone to sing this to me.

[@screwylouiereactions4454]

My mom loved this song she lost her battle with kidney disease in February of this year

[@ljc1224]

Slow dancing to this song...the best. I remember Kenny from his days on Saturday morning TV in Houston. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Ah, the memories.

[@kathywalters3811]

I had the biggest crush on Kenny Rogers in high school. I got to see him live at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on my 25th birthday. The best birthday ever. He is from Houston. I still can just mellow out while listening to Kenny. ❤

[@pamelamiller3749]

That vocal fry Kenny uses on that last line is one of his trademarks. People love it. It was intentional not him missing the note

[@ladygator19831]

Everytime I hear Kenny Rogers I think of my dad and us driving in his car when my two brothers and I were little listening to him my dad has been gone 4 years now he was 77 so thank you for the great memories

Song written By Lionel Richie! Great song! Kenny Rogers was in The First Addition a group from the 60s.

[@bmac8860]

One of the all-time classic love songs! Lionel Ritchie classic beautifully sung and performed by Kenny Rogers.

[@vickybrackin7483]

I was SO BLESSED to see Kenny in concert many times!! He first performed this when married to wife, Marianne and played a video of her giving birth to their son Christopher while he sung this...there wasn't a dry eye in the place!❤ RIP Kenny!!

[@billyebrown]

I worked for Kenny's PR company in Nashville and got to meet him several times. He is a wonderful wonderful man.

[@Princess_karen]

Every woman fell in love with him when he sang this song.

[@rhondadananay2106]

Another great one…We’ve Got Tonight…with Kenny and Sheena Easton

[@helgar791]

Written and produced by the man who is perhaps the greatest writer of love songs in the R&B/R&R era. Try Lionel doing "Still", "Sail One", "Easy", "Zoom (with The Commodores)", "Truly", "My Love", "You Are", and "Three Times A Lady' and "Just To Be Close To You (both also with The Commodores)". All big hits, since Lionel had 5 number one hits.

[@juanitadiemer64]

Check him out doin` it with Lionel life !!

[@gfaithowens1790]

Another great reaction. You've already reacted to some of the best of Kenny, Coward of the County, The Greatest and The Gambler. Time for you to step it up with a Duet. Please look for Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton.

[@CelestialKitsune13]

I was actually lucky enough to see Kenny Rogers performed this song live. He unexpectedly showed up at the show venue my family and I were at and decided to perform a few songs. He wasn't scheduled to be there so it was pure luck that we got to see him. And it's still one of my absolute favorite concert memories..

[@redfox24210]

You've listened to story telling kenny, romantic kenny and now it's time to go back and listen to rock kenny. The song is called "JUST DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN."

Lionel Richey wrote this song for Kenny. They were best friends for over thirty years! There’s also a tribute to Lionel where they sing this song together. You can see the love and brotherhood they had for each other!

[@poguemom3]

ALL the ladies were in love with Kenny back in the day! My 16 year old babysitter loved him so much and even had the Kenny Rogers “Lady” blue jeans and I thought she was so cool! My dad used to play Kenny Rogers’s songs on his guitar and sing with me and my sisters when we were little. Kenny was country music royalty! ❤
