i can't really hate on KROG, but aren't his vocals a little colorless? i mean, in a way that seems to be his distinguishing feature.

A really good critical reassessment of his band, First Edition!

RIP, I was only reading about Kenny's fast food franchise the other day:

Aw RIP Kenny!! He was a childhood favorite and I have a photo of him hugging me somewhere. He was like a comforting grandpa who wasn't technically mine but felt like he was mine all the same.

I was surprised to learn back when that not only was Kenny Rogers not the first one to do "The Gambler," he wasn't even the only one to record it that year (1978). It had been recorded twice in the previous years, by Bobby Bare and also by its songwriter Don Schlitz, but then also in 1978 by Johnny Cash, whose version went nowhere.

You never know how much you love somebody until they’re gone. I’ve had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend. pic.twitter.com/hIQLIvt8pr— Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) March 21, 2020

I'm told his records were among the few things that would console me as a toddler, but I haven't knowingly listened to him since! RIP, anyway.
