Platinum rapper and singer FIRST TIME REACTION to Kenny Rogers - Lady

[@jamesmuir7520]

You need to view the version of this song where Lionel Richie sings this song with Kenny. Before they begin singing, the story of how this song came to be is told.

[@teriboyer7684]

I was just about to say the same thing. It's at a show honoring Lionel

[@Ladylasil]

@@teriboyer7684 I totally agree.

[@gayecarroll4882]

Lots of love for Kenny in 🇦🇺 ❤❤

[@livingandriding]

This song is so beautiful!! It touches my heart everytime I hear it!!

[@toodlescae]

Kenny sang rock before he went country. Once upon a time Kenny had brown hair but he was gray ever since the 80's. Unfortunately we lost Kenny in 2020.

[@SD-mw1hz]

There are too many singers that think always belting, always doing runs is the way to go, but tis not. When you sing quietly, intensely, with meaning and emotion it makes everyone lean in and quiet down to hear you. Beautiful.

[@pjenn1]

Check out Kenny singing with the first edition. Song is just stopped in to see what condition my condition is in. And he had brown hair started out in rock moved over as a solo singing country. And no he has passed after an illness. Another song you can listen to is Island in the stream with Dolly Parton. And back in the day they had to have the voice nothing to fix it. Now most if you required them to sing without auto tune and all the other fix em up wouldn’t sell records.

[@catherineday951]

My oldest sister was a fan...I remember watching them on tv with her.

[@shirleymongold1201]

He did a video with Lionel and gave a hilarious story of how this was written then they sang this together. It might have been at a tribute to Lionel, I'm pretty sure. Great reaction

[@jenniezamek2849]

Watch Kenny and Dolly (live) singing "Islands in the Stream ". Written by thr BeeGees.

[@Heartstrings_Skyla]

A voice like an angel. R.I.P Kenny Roger's.

[@susanengland3919]

Kenny sang with a group called "The First Edition" back in the-70s, they had several hits.

[@mandarinlearner]

I just checked in to see what my condition my condition is in

[@doverbey09]

This is so good! I remember in 1966 Kenny was in a 10 piece group called the New Christy Minstrels, under the direction of Randy Sparks. They sang all kinds of music with guitars, string bass, banjo etc. Then in 1967 Kenny & several others from the New Christy Minstrels left the group and started Kenny Rogers & the First Edition. I loved their hit, "Just Dropped In, To See What Condition My Condition Was In" more of a pop song & "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" considered country and many others until they broke up in1975 or 76. You won't go wrong with anything Kenny sings!

[@mikedrake5373]

Some singers have talent and can project their voices without have to scream or holler. Beautiful song, sung by a talented singer.

[@margaretervin8895]

Just to let you know there is a well known club known by the initials PDC. Kenny joins this club with this song. (Panty Dropping Club)

[@BetsyLRoss]

Kenny has been with us since the 1960's

Love me some Kenny!

[@spiritwalkerperformer1689]

Yes, Kenny started out with brown hair. He actually began as a rock and roll singer. He was with the group "The First Edition" when I first heard him back in the 1960s. You need to listen to "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition" doing songs like "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition was in)," "Reuben James" and "Something's Burning." They are great songs and made an impression on me as a would-be performer at the time. To this day I still perform all of these songs. Then you can introduce them to Black Pegasus and get a leg up on him. LOL

[@mariaportengen2959]

A great romantic song. 🎶🎶❤️❤️

Straight out of the park!

[@lisadee.]

Kenny started out with sandy blonde hair and grew into brown in his 20-30's. Jokingly Dolly (Parton) said that she noticed Kenny went gray when she started working with him! Kenny could basically sing any genre in his natural talent. He was an excellent studio artist, and an even better live performer. He set the benchmark of what true artistry is, and even with all that, he was a fabulous human being; the real deal. His honesty and purity of heart always amazed me. He was tremendously tenderhearted and caring. If he loved you, it was for a lifetime. And I believe that extends through eternity. Yes; sadly Kenneth Ray passed away on 03.20.20. And every day he is missed! His joking around, his piercing eyes, and the way the man talked. There was always something so captivating about him. Kenny held my attention and imprinted my heart forever 💓💋🎶🕊️🙏💐

[@joycewelsh3876]

Kenny Rogers definitely had brown hair before it turned white. In 1970 I saw him in Atlantic City when he was singing with a group called The First Edition. He also wore tinted glasses at the time. He used that gravely voice a lot. I saw him several more times over the years and he always put on a great show. Love, love, love Kenny. I also am enjoying your reactions as well Krizz. Looking forward to many more.

[@tlo3571]

I saw Kenny twice in concert. It was great! I saw Kenny and Dolly Parton tour.. so special. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition was the group he was in before becoming a solo artist. Just Dropped In was considered acid rock. Kenny with long brown hair, a gold earring, rose tinted glasses and playing the bass guitar. What could be better?

[@fire12wife]

Kenny was just 42 when he performed this concert! Kenny was born in 1938 and this song was released in 1980! He was a silver fox for sure... no matter how young he was! Kenny said that he loved how Ray Charles would sing R&B to a country song, so he wanted to flip that and sing country to an R&B track! That's when he called Lionel to write a song for him! Kenny and Lionel performed Lady together at a concert in 2013 that honored Lionel, and had all of these country artists singing Lionel's music! It was just after Lionel released his Tuskegee album which had those artists singing with Lionel, or on their own. When it came time for Kenny to sing Lady, Kenny told the hilarious story of how 'Lady' was written and then asked Lionel to come on stage and sing it with him. It is the best they have ever sounded together! You should definitely check it out! They're the BEST of friends from the day they met and you can definitely see that in their performance! Check out that 2013 performance... I promise you won't be disappointed! You can find it here on KZbin! Oh, and may I suggest that you do a reaction to We Are the World - USA for Africa (1985), and also We Are the World 25 - Artists for Haiti (2010)! I don't know how familiar you are with either version of this song, but would love to hear your thoughts on them and see how many artists you can name from the original! I'm sure you must know most or all of the artists from the newer version. Also, Netflix put out a documentary about the original version this year that is a must-see, especially for music lovers like me! It's called The Greatest Night in Pop (2024)! There is also an old tv special they put out when the original song came out. It was hosted and narrated by Jane Fonda! Check that one out here on KZbin! I know your channel is for the music reactions, bit I'd love to see you react to the new Netflix special! So many of the original artists came back to tell their stories! Definitely a must-see... even if you don't film it for a reaction! Just spreading the love of incredible music!

[@davidwhitley1545]

Kenny Rogers started off as a Rocker with songs like, "What condition my condition is in" and "Something's Burning". His first cross over country song that I recall was "Ruby don't take your love to town"

[@neoncatfish4038]

Kenny Rogers - just checked in to see what condition my condition was in. Kenny started in rock and roll. A lot of his music crossed over between country and soft rock and roll!

[@llschnitz]

Kenny Rogers and Home Free doing a jazzy and upbeat version of the gospel classic Christmas song "Children, Go Where I Send Thee". Its from 2017 and its wonderful.

[@sharonpate5481]

Yeah, Kenny passed, in 2020, from, I think, COVID, as did Charlie Daniels, and Charley Pride!!! Also, Dolly Parton and Kenny were really good friends, and did alotta duets, together!! Look-up "We've Got Tonight"; I think you'll love it. They banter, at the end of the song, and it's really funny!!! Their chemistry was palpable!!!

Please check out a very young Kenny Rogers with The First Edition. He had dark hair then. 🙂 The first song I ever heard of him singing is " I Just Dropped In (to see what condition my condition is in)" It's quite a look into how his style evolved over the years. Other folks have mentioned his other First Edition songs. They had some great hits before his solo career. Near the end he did a great acapella version of "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" with Home Free. RIP Kenny...thanks for all the great musical memories.

[@horseygirl645]

Kenny Rogers had been in the music business for many years. He started out in folk music. Here’s a snippet of what Wikipedia states: “His fame and career spanned multiple genres: jazz, folk, pop, rock, and country.”

[@StacyMoore241]

Kenny Rogers had dark brown hair. He was in a musical singing group called Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. They were together in the late sixties and much of the seventies. You ought to check out his song Ruby, and Lucille

[@rhondaburkhardt8431]

Kenny Roger’s and the First Edition started in 1967 was a rock band he had brown hair and beard. Check out Just Dropped In (To see What Condition My Condition Was In). He didn’t start Country Music until the late 70’S.

[@sueellengallion4523]

No he had dark hair and was my first love. I'm 71, I've always loved him

Dana's "chopping broccoli" was in 1986.,,,,,,,6 years after Kenny is here on stage.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Kenny had brown hair on his first hit "What condition your condition was in". He was a rock artist originally, he and Bob Seger starting around the same time in the late 60s.

[@ednafenton7558]

I know you like story songs. A few songs by Kenny you will love. "Coward of the County" "Long arm of the law," "The gambler," "The Greatest" "She believes in me," "Sweet music man," Kenny wrote this song. Kenny has many great songs. Another song with the first addition is "Ruby, don't take your love to town." This song was written by the Country Legend Mel Tillis. Mel shuddered when he talked. But boy could he sing perfectly. Kenny sang duets with many female artists. Dottie West, Dolly Parton, Kim Carnes, & Sheena Easton. I loved his duets with Dottie West. But most people have forgotten he sang with Dottie, for they only talk about Dolly, Kim or Sheena.

[@Sensei_BigJoe]

Check out "What condition my condition was in", that's Kenny and Next Edition? (Something like that). It sounds like him obviously but more... idk, pop, rock something. But yeah, it's a trip to see him that way and it's a great song to boot.

[@TammyBerry-pl4pd]

You really need to watch the video of Kenny and Lionel singing this together and telling the story of how this song came to be. They were very good friends and it is endearing to watch them together😊 I believe it was an event called Lionel Richie And Friends from 2012 that honored Lionel.

[@belvagurr403]

Kenny started out with THE NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS and then helped find FIRST EDITION. Dottie West came out with the song COUNTRY SUNSHINE, which COKE turned into a commercial. Kenny joined Dottie on her album EVERY TIME TWO FOOLS COLLIDE. Next thing you know Dottie is dropped and Kenny has a hit album and song LUCILLE .

[@Linda.Riley1962]

You should listen to him and Lionel doing it together

[@susanworkman529]

Yes Kenny passed on a couple of yrs. ago. He is a legend. Now that you've watched this I want to suggest the you watch Kenny sing this with Lionel Richie some 30 yrs. later.. Listen to the whole video where Kenny explains how this song came to be written. Its a funny true story. They were the best of friends. Kenny was a country artist but this song crossed him over into R&B. Kenny started out in the 60's with a group called *The New Christy Minstrals. He left them and went to a group called *The First Edition. Check out this one from them called " I Just Stopped in to See What Condition My Condition Was In" and "Reuben James". Kenny left this group for a solo career. The Gambler, Lucille, Ruby, Coward of The County, then these cross over songs: Through The Years, We've Got Tonight ( he recorded this with Sheena Easton but he and Dolly Parton sang it together and its better because he and dolly have a great chemistry ( see video) ). A must see is Kenny and Dolly singing: Islands In The Stream (video). ( this song was written by The Bee Gees). You will need to also go down the Dolly Parton and Bee Gees rabbit holes. The Bee Gees recorded tons of songs but also wrote for many other artists too, like Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion and their brother Andy ( who had a solo career).

[@edwardviner9468]

Ruben James was one of my favorites

[@larrybench6398]

Yes when Kenny Rogers and the first edition, were together in the 1960's it was light brown then I remember him from when I was in the 5th grade they did a song called "I JUST DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN" long title good song give it a try.

Just ain't fair that a man could sing like that😊

[@BelleDede01]

Much better to listen to two legends singing together. The songwriter and the original recording artist. The one and only Lionel Richie and the late Kenny (RIP). You'll hear how that song came to be, the great singing and the friendship love they have for each other.

[@moorek1967]
