Great energy!

First Edition had a fan club in ‘71. The club invited me to their show in the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center in NYC. A chance to meet them after dinner

My mom worked for a relative of Kenny's wife. About once a month my mom would take her to visit. My mom would wait in the kitchen while they talked over lunch. Without fail, Kenny would come in and ask my mom to make him a sandwich. Then they would talk for about thirty minutes. He was a totally down to earth and wonderful man!

I have a scratched copy and I still love it…very underrated album..I agree…where’s the cd or better …on a stream service

Dang , remember watching their TV show and enjoying it . This if it was on it , maybe I missed it or came later ,after the split of The 1st Edition . Of course , didn't know Mary and Roger Miller were later married ? I remember Kenny Rogers in a interview said the TV was allright , but they never had another hit !

Joey never better. Saw her in 1964 in person. Terrific then.

Neat upload

Sing on girl, I am a great fan of yours. Yours is the case of the hidden talent recently re-discovered. What a voice, what dancing and what legs. Cyd Charisse must have cringed with envy.

Just beautiful Chuck😇

Watched her specials on CBS ,and her Dad was on them . Joey ok by me ,and thks for trying to help our guys , on Bob's stuff in Vietnam Even bought your PB issue . All the rest is only your concern THKS !

I don’t know a lot about Mary. I do know a little bit about the first edition. But you’ve gotta be pretty dang talented to beat out Karen Carpenter in a singing audition, and Mary did that. Love her.

I was stunned that she was quite a talented singer. I never knew. She fore-fronted her sex kitten image and few paid attention to her vocal skills. Sad.

I will miss Gordon Lightfoot for the rest of my life. He was the last troubadour.

My Christmas Day song

Lost track of Joey Heathertn, so glad to have found her now. Great performance of a beautiful song. Thanks for posting.

Rest easy gordon

❤️

Too bad the clarity of the video isn't better. She is so pretty. Voice too.

I used to have this album, "Backroads" as well as "Monumental" on Jolly Rogers! It was too bad that Kenny & the band left Reprise as they could have really promoted, "The Ballad of Calico"! R.I.P., Kenny Rogers & Mickey Jones...

The Ballad of Calico was in my opinion Kenny Rogers And The First Edition's "Masterpiece"! Perhaps as an analogy as The White album was to The Beatles! It was in an opera form with The Sunrise Overture and Calico Saturday Night as the Underture! I have always liked Kenny in his vibrato voice singing, "Write Me Down, Don't Forget My Name"! Songs like "Vachel Carling's Rubilator", "In One Lonely Room", "School Teacher", "Old Mojave Highway", & others make The Ballad of Calico priceless indeed! I can only imagine how great Calico must have sounded in quadraphonic? I only wish like many of us out here would be delighted to have Calico in a CD format perhaps! Thank you, Terry, for telling us about the group's experience during the listening that night of Calico for the first time in its natural sequence indeed!

We will sing with him again!!!!

Beautiful!!! Thank you! I miss those days!!

Most enjoyable. Great strum. Love your voice, man!

When I found out a few years ago that, Jones (who I always assumed was an actor only) played with electric Dylan, The Gambler(Kenny Rogers) and the Band, my mind was blown. Heck of a life man, hanging with icons.

RIP Gordon Lightfoot

Not the tune. The point is to find the Lord so as to make a better place. Sanctify

Joey Heatherton is a highly underrated of former. She did a phenomenal job on this song!

This may have been a video that she did for their show "Rollin' on the River" either from 1971 when it was called that or when they changed the title to "Rollin'" in 1972.

Always loved Mary. What a voice and her enthusiasm.

My Favorite Group. Kenny didn't quit he wanted to go on. The Record Label insisted on putting his name up front the same way they did with The Union Gap with Gary Puckett.

I still have her MGM album where she did this song - I always thought she was somehow, I don't know, under rated as a performer, or was she difficult to work with (?) - she was a great dancer, and her singing was sometimes criticized (I don't know why) and she sounded great on her album. Yet, it did only so-so in sales from what I understand and she did have a hit with "Gone" also featured on the album.

Joey certainly stands out from the crowd now but all those years ago did she only do the rounds of variety shows as a guest singer dancer? Someone easy on the eye and reliable to deliver the female entertainment segment and then do a duet with the star of the show. Joey is actually a super star, talented and so underrated pity she didn’t have good management behind her.

So awsome Terry

Anyone who thinks Kenny couldnt carry a tune listen to this song

NO one....does it better!... as a power song!..

Is that Jerry Colonna applauding at 3.15?

She should have focused all her energies on being a great singer - because she was. Not on all that sex symbol and other nonsense. She sold herself short.

This album should be made into a play or movie
