You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em

Well done Kenny, RIP

Sad news indeed because a whole music genre is going to its grave and what can replace country n western , i expect songs of melancholy loneliness and the harshness of life - because their phone battery died once .

Sad news indeed because a whole music genre is going to its grave and what can replace country n western , i expect songs of melancholy loneliness and the harness of life - because their phone battery died once .

Or modern cowboys singing sad songs about how their self driving pickup truck left them.

sings - mamma's don't let your babies grow up to be ................... needle screeching off the record .

oops i nearly provoked a backlash of self righteous indignation that might have landed me in prison

Yep, Kenny will be missed. His songs were easy listening and always had a story to tell. Ruby, dont take my truck to town...
Glen Campbell, another great with a story.

And the timeless classic, you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.

Glen Campbell was only like a rhinestone cowboy.

Love it !! I knew there was another out there, (and probably more) Kenny is still giving us enjoyment now !

Coward of the County is my fav from Kenny .

He , Johnny Cash , Dolly Parton , Don Williams , Ed Bruce , Kris Kristoffereson , C.W McCall , Roger Miller and others have pretty much accompanied me every mile i ever drove a cruiser .

I concur with "Coward of the County"

'The Gambler' and 'Islands in the Stream' (with Dolly Parton) are also amongst my favourites.

 

[Tractionman]

He played a good part in 'The Gambler'

And don't forget that other great country legend Travis Perkins.

I thought Glen Campbell was a Wichita lineman ?

And as with many others, Kenny Rogers had a legendary singing voice...

And wasn’t he supposed to be or have been one of the richest performers in the music industry?

RIP KR
