From 1968-1984, Kenny Rogers was a staple of the American culture. His songs bordered country western/RnB/ and rock. In that era, most artists had a variety of songs, not just one genre. It was common for people to sing songs written by songwriters (not singers). and little tweaks on the music can switch a rock song to a country, or RnB song. The verse, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus was a popular formula and still is.
