Guy put on a great concert. Saw him numerous times. He’ll be missed.

The soon-to-be mrs. jimfree and I saw Kenny at the Missouri State Fair in 1978. He was touring and introducing The Gambler. Nashville Brass opened in this concert that had a $4 ticket. Cheap date and great value.

I remember his commercial for a “learn to play guitar” booklet.

Lots of simple, cheesy 1980s songs ... but I loved that so many of them had great life lessons in them.
“The Gambler,” “The Coward of the County,” and “The Greatest” all had great examples of this.

My first concert after returning from Army service in West Germany in 1981 was Kenny Rogers with comedian Gallagher as the opening act. RIP...thanks for the songs & the memories.

Me and my family vacationed in Rarotonga (Cook Islands) in March 1984 and Kenny happened to be there as well, staying at the main five star hotel there (which was a short distance from where we were) and there was a little publicity given to him being there. In any event, we were talking with someone who said he went to use the tennis court at the main hotel and just as he and his friend were going in to use it, guess who just came off (presumably after using it a little himself).

He also discovered Don Henley and brought him to Los Angeles, and the rest as they say is history.
