But this was the one Kenny Rogers song that found its way onto the charts out of the country ghetto:

When that song came out, Rogers had never been on the Country chart at all.

With first edition, he only had one song that made it to #39 on the country chart. His country career didn't really begin until 1975, and took off in 1977.
