Country Music Hall of Famer Kenny Rogers passed away from natural causes last night (3/20) at 10:25pm CT surrounded by family while in hospice care. He was 81. Rogers' multi-award winning career spanned more than six decades with crossover success and chart toppers including "The Gambler," "Lady," "Islands In The Stream," "Lucille," "She Believes In Me" and "Through The Years." With 24 No. 1 hits, six CMA Awards, three Grammy Awards, the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award and CMT Artist of a Lifetime Award to his credit, Rogers took his place in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013. The family is planning a small, private service at this time due to concern surrounding the national coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. They look forward to celebrating Rogers' life publicly with friends and fans at a later date.

Before I knew I’d have the chance to live my dream I would watch @_kennyrogers with Johnny Carson and he’d pull a guitar from behind the couch and delight the audience with a perfect acoustic performance. It made me work harder on guitar so I could accompany myself that way. He was always so personable and at ease. Well, I sure never dreamed I’d get to tour with Kenny and sing on a record with him but wow, I did! Turned out he was the same charming, funny guy that I’d seen on the Tonight Show. Thanks Kenny for sharing your awesome sexy grainy voice and for helping newbies like myself and @officialbillydean I’ll always remember how you blushed when I was 7 mos pregnant and we’d sing “Baby It’s Cold Outside” We’re gonna miss you friend. You’re gonna be a standout in the Angel Choir□Here’s a link if you want to listen. BD is singing the third part. https://music.apple.com/us/album/there-you-go-again/283736003?i=283736020

    Hi. I'm a member of the country club. Country Music is what I love.  

    ​Are you somewhere that you don't belong? Without a jukebox and a country song? Maybe you came here seeking a nice, bright, sunny, resort-y kind of place. The kind of place festooned with ferns. Maybe this was even your LAST resort. We hope not. But don't worry, we still have the best of intentions with this blog - you might not find a lot of tennis but we still intend to raise a racket now and then. (In other words --- although you will sometimes find press releases here we net ORIGINAL content too).
