Shirley Kelly Kenny and Lionel had such a deep friendship for over 30 years. Everyone should check out the videos of the two of them singing together. It's entertaining in every possible way. They tease each other, laugh with each other, and Lionel was hit hard when we lost Kenny. #TheGambler
@@frankc4036 I was referring to multiple performances, and they were awesome. The two of them went together closer than peanut butter and jelly. We should all be so lucky to have a friendship close to what theirs was.
@@johns.sr.7433 Are you seriously that ignorant or just trying to pull someone's chain? While Kenny co-wrote some songs, he only has 2 that he has written for himself. "Sweet music man" and "Love lifted me". The song that was re-released after his death, "Goodbye" was also written by Lionel Richie.
@@peterkelley4346 my plan is to have 'The Gambler' be one of the musical pieces played at my funeral. People will say "Yup, that's how he lived his life."
Lionel Ritchie, who was the lead singer of the group The Commodores at the time, (or maybe he'd already left the group by 1980, when this song was recorded and released?) wrote this song specifically for Kenny Rogers, with Kenny's input as well.....
@@SergioHernandez-le8wp Yes, you can see the video on RUclips in a tribute that Kenny does for Lionel, and he tells the story of how he asked him to write a song for him, and Lionel finished the second verse in the toilet. It's a really good video because then Kenny and Lionel sing this song together. Here is the link if you haven't seen it. So good! ruclips.net/video/vc8IN-FnRic/видео.html
Lionel Richie did sing it a few times in small venues. He tested it out. He got a good feeling about it and then sold it to Kenny. That was a great decision! Lionel and Kenny raked in the profits!
@@TangoKiloAlpha54 Ron Burgundy again ,I have been seeing and hearing Ron Burgundy lately a lot for some weird reason and of all places ,a Kenny Rogers reaction video.Universe ,what are you trying to tell me? Fess up ,I am old and tired.
@WuuF466 mmmm I dunno ...He sung it as Lionel meant it to be sung. I'm not taking anything from Kenny but sometimes to make a song great you leave it alone. Being a great artist you know when to make that decision.
Lionel originally wrote 'Lady' for The Commodores and they didn't want to do another love song at the time, so he pitched it to Kenny. Hence, began a lifetime friendship.
Omg! I just started crying like a baby listening to Kenny Rogers sing this song. He sang it with such passion. Yes, I agree with you that these are the words every woman would love to hear from the man she loves. I commend you for holding it together during this song. 💕
Music that connects to your heart and soul. This song is a timeless masterpiece with lyrics that remind you of the love you once found. Truly a great song.
Well that's what I call a Kenny experience. Like Kenny there are so many out there who just don't sing but take you on a journey. They are true gifts from God. By the way out of all the different reaction videos I watch I do honestly love yours the best. It is very clearly shown that your reactions are like a 1000% genuine and comes deep within your soul. Keep up the good work girl 😘
I got the box of tissues before watching this ,imagine that ,a metal head rocker crying like a blubbering fool listening to Kenny Rogers ,my mom used to listen to her Kenny Rogers records in the evenings when the days work was done ,sorry man, I am cracking up again ,later dude .
I just love people who love beautiful music sometimes I just feel like I'm out there by myself when I listen to these old songs I'm glad other people share my sentiments💖
Lots of people still listening to “real” music, old music and loving it. I’m still listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday etc, That’s almost before my mother’s time.
I do tire of the “music today is crap brigade”. It’s not crap it’s just different to what you like / grew up on. There are many equally talented artists just doing things in a style you don’t like
@@RawkusRooster I do think some of your argument is valid but in the long run time is the great separator of good and bad music. Case in point I asked my 19 year old niece to name me some of the best songs from the last couple of years, she couldn't. Then she said "today's music is forgettable ( not crap mind you, that's my slant ) just like Instagram photos".
Thank you so very much Sweetheart for playing this very beautiful romantic love song. I really mean it. I did not know what and who to me was more beautiful. You or the song. Have a Blessed Evening. And once again Dear Lady, I thank you so very, very much.
He sings to every woman on the planet because every women disereve to be loved please check roy orbison crying ,chris issac blue moon two on the same level as this i wish you much love in your life nice rection
Kenny Rogers was the man! ❤️“The Gambler”also. However the Lionel Ritchie version of Lady, when he sings it, oh my❤️❤️❤️❤️One of my favorite songs! They are both good in their own unique ways.
He still makes me teary eyed and I'm a 49 year old man. He passed while we were camping during the beginning of Covid this year. I grew up admiring his singing. RIP Kenny. Great reaction!
Hey beloved, may he RIP. The King of Country music. I don’t think there is any other country singer that has had more number 1 hits. Kenny has so many Love songs out there that will touch your heart. Ahhh, Empress! Love your reaction, this song gives me goosebumps. It is one of my favorites of all time. I am a sucker for love song.
My dad used to tell stories of him and Kenny Rogers playing in each others yards as a young boy. They were neighbors in a very poor neighborhood of Houston, TX 🙂
Look at the passion in her face and body listening to a love song . She is so Beautiful in so many ways . Keep up the great work it really makes our day .
She starts getting emotional at 1:10. You can see her start breathing heavy. Love it. This was used as wedding songs back in the day. Back in those days music lifted us women up. Now, it degrades us.
Love this song but as a man the men today have lost the romance of the past. The women and men today have lost the meaning of love. Dancing holding her tight looking into her eyes and feeling the love a quite love peaceful. Heavenly love. Not the let's see how sexy we can dance but a dance to feel the heavenly love between to pepple
Unfortunately, most men today will never understand why Kenny had women swooning over him. Every woman wants a man to think, feel and say this about and to her. Most of the recent music calling us bit**es and hoes...and they wonder why we don't respond.
Your sure right. I can't stand songs like that calling women that. A an x-co- worker i worked with back about in 95 said hey mike listen to this he played a song that called women those names and the C word. Now that is a word you don't call a woman. That there is a fighting word.
@Lucky Strike Yes, but even the most unattractive person, if you get to know them, can become the sexiest thing you've ever seen if their personality is right. Conversely, the most gorgeous person, upon closer association, can become the ugliest person in the world to you because of their personality. It all just takes time and an open mind.
@Lucky Strike I know that many men believe money and good looks are the main attraction for women but that is not always the truth. There are women who prioritize that just like there are men who only date Boobs, butts and blondes but not all men are that way even if it seems like it. I dated people from different races and different financial backgrounds and married someone no one else would have chosen for me. Thirty seven years later we don't let it bother us. Not a lot of money but so, so happy. Looks fade, houses burn down, money is lost in stock market crashes... Choose for the long haul. Choose wisely. Choose love.
I saw Kenny back in 1969 at my University he was lead singer for The First Edition. Already the silver fox and was till the day he passed. Wanted to say this Southern Belle ( Louisiana) really appreciates your Ladylike appearance. Love your style. Professional, I hope you go far.
Kenny Rogers masters the use of the microphone, you can't hear him take breaths when he sings. That's a forgotten art by any standards, with any musician today.. He is a legende, a master musician, artist and singer. When it comes to songs like this, we men aren't allowed to be "the knight in shining armour" for you, because all and everything we say or do is either sexist or toxic masculinitytowards you women.

Kenny made you think that he was singing only to you. His songs were stories, and he told each story from his heart. Great reaction! ✌️😎
Quite right Tribblepuppy. It will be interesting to hear her comments if she checks out the video to what I consider his best song: 'The Gambler'.

That’s probably one of the most beautiful love songs I’ve ever heard.
I guess beauty also comes sometimes with a beautiful heart !...Thank you ..
After hearing this song so many times over the years, I still get goosebumps. I love Kenny so much
Loved it!🎶❤ and you are so right, who doesnt want to be loved like that!

What a beautiful reaction! You seemed utterly transfixed by his voice. Great song, and fantastic vocals, too
Great reaction!

Through the Years by Kenny Rogers is another timeless classic. You'd love that one too. Great Reaction!
Kenny Rogers . Legendary 🎉. Great reaction
I really wanted to give her a big hug.
Watching her fight back tears.
The world does need more love and sincerity.
wow! how wonderful to see you react to something I've heard a 100 times. you increase my appreciation of this beautiful song!
I very much enjoyed watching the emotion in your face when he was singing,
I was a teenager when this song came out..i still shed a tear when I hear this song no matter how old it is 💕
The absolute best reaction to this song on RUclips! SUBSCRIBED!!!!!
Great reaction and deservedly so. Kenny made you feel his words. R.I.P. gambler.
Your reaction says it all
The song was written by Lionel Richie.
Lionel is a genius! Kenny is a genius....This song hand no choice but to be great!
@WuuF466 I think we can agree they were both fantastic artists.

Another great song kind of forgotten about this one. Yes this is how to talk to a lady.
Totally cried along with you girl!
If yall see him in the lounge carrying a bucket, those arent poker chips. Theyre room keys. What a pimp. 😂
Omg! I just started crying like a baby listening to Kenny Rogers sing this song. He sang it with such passion. Yes, I agree with you that these are the words every woman would love to hear from the man she loves. I commend you for holding it together during this song. 💕
It takes Real Talent to sing from the Heart! No Fancy Lights or any other Tricks! Just excellent Talent!
You are a beautiful woman...so classy... so much emotion in your face. Keep up the great work 😘
She is beautiful!
I just watched the intent, pasion, and belief in your eyes. I can tell you this, "Empress" isn't enough.
Music that connects to your heart and soul. This song is a timeless masterpiece with lyrics that remind you of the love you once found. Truly a great song.
One of my favs. Such a beautiful voice - and I swear, he was singing to me. LOL- I think every woman thought that.
Aww! I actually thought he was singing to me 😀😍
We lost a national treasure when Kenny passed.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.I love watching your eyes. They say it all.Your smile lights up my day.
Wanna know something really, really crazy? Kenny Rogers was the last live concert I attended. And that was 27 years ago ...
A beautiful song ,and you too lady are beautiful
Well that's what I call a Kenny experience. Like Kenny there are so many out there who just don't sing but take you on a journey. They are true gifts from God.

@@markdemell3717 same brother, except I was hardcore jock, wrap.. everything but, and this song always had and always will open the faucets lol
Your reactions are priceless. I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers. He was amazing.
Lionel Ritchie wrote that song for Rogers and Rogers wrote "Three times a Lady" for Ritchie and the Commodores. Two of the most beautiful songs ever.
Lionel Ritchie wrote both of those songs, not Kenny Rogers.
You are wrong. Lionel Richie wrote both songs. Kenny Rogers had no input.
I just love people who love beautiful music sometimes I just feel like I'm out there by myself when I listen to these old songs I'm glad other people share my sentiments💖
Lots of people still listening to “real” music, old music and loving it. I’m still listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday etc, That’s almost before my mother’s time.
You're not alone my friend, music like this is the soul of the world and should never be forgotten and should be passed down to our children 👍
Thanks for recognizing that music today is "crap".
Although i`m the one that made that comment ... I agree with Killgaz motron ( I just think she was agreeing with the 1st part of the statement )
killgaz motron - she explicitly didn’t say it but you can easily conclude it

Beautiful song R.I.P. Kenny. One of the biggest songs played at weddings in the U.S. "You Are My Lady" by Freddy Jackson

When anyone sings this to a woman, she absolutely is going home with him!
Well with the women of today probably not they may go home with him and then me too movement him this song was written for a lady not a thot.
A true gift to all of humanity. I feel very, very fortunate that I am able to recognize that beauty and to also appreciate it.

That's gotta be one of the most incredible songs ever. One of the best performances as well.
OMG. EMPRESS JOY-JEAN. YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. 100 PERCENT FLAWLESS. AND A BEAUTIFUL ACCENT
Stay beautiful from the inside and you will live forever
Anyone else enjoy watching the EMPRESS melt? Just wanted to add how beautifully she does it, too.
Kenny Rogers and Home Free did a song together, 'Children Go Where I Send Thee'. Apparently he contacted them and asked to do the collaboration.
Your response ,who could not love it...thank you
I love the song, his presentation and watching your facial reaction!
Empress joy jean great reaction loved that song even more watching you
Admit it, you think he's singing this song directly to you. That's what true artists do and Kenny Rodgers was great at it.
Love your reaction to the song, you're obviously a sensitive, beautiful soul, it's plain to see.
Thank you so much 🙏😊

Written by Lionel Ritchie. One of the best ever.
While in the toilet!
I saw Kenny Rogers live 3 times and evertime that song brings goosebumps. R.I.P Kenny.
She starts getting emotional at 1:10. You can see her start breathing heavy. Love it. This was used as wedding songs back in the day.
Back in those days music lifted us women up. Now, it degrades us.
You can listen to this song a million times and melt each time. I love your reaction to this!!
Love this song but as a man the men today have lost the romance of the past. The women and men today have lost the meaning of love.

They have to get off those stupid smart phones and get out in nature and experience a more real and natural life .

Makes me reflect when times were good and I was in love , beautiful song sung to perfection
No one (as far as I can see) has reacted to Kenny's "She Believes in Me". (Besides "Lady" I think it's one of his absolute best:)
Dave, I agree and you're right, I haven't seen anyone react to "She Believes In Me". Why is that? Such a beautifully romantic song.
That is a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing with us.
Beautiful Reaction Empress! Please React To The Flamingos- I only have eyes for you, I Think You Will Like It :)
LJ, I think you might be right about that. Certainly is a way-back, doo-wop era classic.
Kenny is one of the greatest storytellers of all times,hands down!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍
The Beatles “Don’t let me down” live on the rooftop 🤞🏽🤍
All Beatles songs get blocked here.
Kenny has such passion in his voice, and for the ladys he was easy on the eyes as well.
After being a widower for 23 years, I met my lady. "For So many years,I thought I would never find you !" AMEN ,
That’s awesome man. Prayers for many more years of love
I saw Kenny back in 1969 at my University he was lead singer for The First Edition. Already the silver fox and was till the day he passed.

The silver fox strikes again.
Charlie Rich?
Exactly... Charlie Rich is the Silver Fox.
He was not the silver fox . That was Charlie Rich . You can look it up .
This song is timeless as it transcends through generations. Another great song of Kenny's is "Morning Desire".

Thank you, Ronald.
Got to say it is good to see skin colour does not matter here, it is talent that matters, well done girl.
