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.
