The 1980s.

Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer.

Or an in shape, good looking Italian kid with big aspirations.

He’s gonna be fat and semi broke in 35 years :)

But still lovable :)

Kenny was talented as a singer and smart as to marketing himself, almost too smart. I recently bought a used CD featuring many of his Greatest Hits. I had listened to 6 maybe 7 songs when I had to shut it off. I realized I could not ever listen to most Kenny Rodgers hits without ALSO thinking of the TV commericial and/or product that song was linked to.
There are quite a few.

One exception would be
“Islands In The Stream” a duet with Kenny & Dolly Parton.
I thought Dolly wrote it. No. The Bee Gees wrote it.
Dolly and the Horn Section make that song swing.

When this song came out, we had a ritual of drowning out “dreamer” with “screamer” (ev-er-eee ti-i-ime). I’m curious if everyone did this, or just a handful of idiots?
