Monday Morning Video – Kenny Rogers (1938 – 2020)

Monday, March 23, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

Many of us got to know Kenny Rogers through his solo hits of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, not to mention his duets with everyone from Dolly Parton to Lionel Richie.

Before that, however, Rogers made some magic with the First Edition, including this classic, which came around again in 1998 when it was featured in the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski.

And, as a special bonus, here’s Rogers and Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” from a 1995 BBC performance.
