Kenny Rogers - a legend and a great artist of Country music died at the age of 81 [English Version]

Hey. 

On March 20, 2020, Kenny Rogers died at the age of 81, a legend and a great country artist. His musical career began in the 60s with The First Edition. He then began his solo career with the album "Love Lifted Me" (1976). Over the following years his albums were released, which reached platinum or gold status. His best known songs include: "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)", "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town", "The Gambler", "Lady", "Islands In The Stream" (the most famous duo with Dolly Parton) or "Buy Me A Rose" Kenny Rogers also appeared in films and TV series between 1975 to 2000. His last album was "You Can't Make Old Friends" (2013), where the last joint duo with Dolly Parton can be heard. I am writing about the artist in general because his achievements in his musical and acting career are very big to write about everything. 

  

I wrote this post because I really like to listen to the songs of this artist. At first I thought it was another false information about the death of a known person, but unfortunately it turned out to be true. The first Kenny Rogers song I heard was "Lady", which was written by another famous singer Lionel Richie. It was a stage when I was getting to know the Country genre and how I liked an artist, I could listen to his songs all the time and also look for information about him. I remember that until today I think I was 12 or 13 years old when I had a phase for Kenny Rogers' songs and I discovered that we were both born on August 21st (Kenny - 1938, I - 1995) and I thought, "Wow, I'm celebrating my birthday with a famous artist". It was a bit stupid, but it was something for a kid at that age.

At the end of the post, I will present you my favorite songs performed by the artist:

1. Lady 

2. Islands In The Stream (with Dolly Parton) 

3. I Can't Unlove You 

4. You Can't Make Old Friends (with Dolly Parton) 

It's a sad that such great artists are passing away 😔.
