I remember this from when I was just a little girl and my Dad would listen to this. Takes me way way back. I'm 60 now, Dad's gone , but still listening . Love it.
I was a little older when I fell in love with this tune and this artist. I'm now 69 ys and I still know all the lyrics and can sing along. My dad was a career military man. Korean War time. He lost his left eye on maneuvers. Figured my mom would leave him as he wasn't the man he used to be....she didn't. I think that's why I relate to this tune. Rip Kenny 🌹 ❤️
The tambourine lady makes this song pop .... She probably the best percussion in the world at the time what an awesome powerful song done to perfection by Kenny Rodgers and the 1st edition ❤️
Right? Unfortunately people have affairs to able bodied and disabled people. Killing someone because she/he was something you can't give, but she/he is there for you in every other way is psychotic. But, it does have a nice rhythm and it speaks for many people who feel or have felt that way.
For me he was the Best country singer ever, a Chinese friend of mine heard me playing his records she Never heard country music B4 next day she went out n Bought 3 of his CDs He was the Elvis of country music
Its weird being old now. I never felt it happening. I always feel the same inside, so that's good. But the outside- it's just a shell. I really love Kenny Rogers, too. My husband and I saw him perform in I think Geneva Il in 1988❤️
RIP Ssgt. John Boyd - Vietnam '69; '71. Miss you old buddy and hope that you FINALLY found peace ... It was so sad to see you desperately trying to stop the pain until the heroin finally killed you ... If only your PTSD was treated earlier!
With all his later “hammers” as he referred to them, this song and Glen Campbell’s Galveston are still the most underrated protest songs ever sang. Mr. Rogers. A figure on the Mt Rushmore of great singer performers. RIP
I was a girl when this song came out. Lots of relatives and friends family members that were in that war. I remember how sad this song made me because even as a young girl, I understood it. Still makes me cry.
I was almost 14 when this song came out. I cried every time I heard it on the radio. Still love it. Just found out today that it was written by Mel Tillis.
I was four when I first heard him saying and it was this song that was on my dad’s friend big stereo I could not move because I was Hypnotized by Kenny Rogers voice. I have been a fan of him ever since that was 1977
I used to dance the quick step to this with my wonderful Dad. He passed away in 1999 after a fourteen and a half year battle with cancer, age 65 😪😪😪😪💕💕💕💕
This was before I was born but I can't get enough of this song! This video is my favorite version he's done. His voice!! The head tilts backwards and sideways in between verses! OMG!
Saw these guys in 73 at knott's berry farm. What a great show. Times were good back then. Wish things could be so good for my kids & grandkids. Too bad this world has gone to hell. My kids tell me I'm crazy, but I think the downside started when the computer came into our lives & into our homes. Just sayin. God bless all of us. Peace✌
Lost my Dad almost 3 years ago. From my single-digit years in the early 70s until he passed, Kenny (and 50s & 60s Oldies) were a constant soundtrack whenever we were working in his shop, in the yard or any carpentry project. Glad you get to have similar memories with your Dad, Kevin.
A song that many veterans could relate to when returning from Vietnam. Very unfortunate, sad, but true. Would have loved to have seen a video for this. One of Gabe's from the great Kenny Rogers.
I saw Kenny twice, once with the first edition and once after he had gone solo. He was the consummate entertainer with an amazing voice and the ability to connect with the audience. Kenny, you are sorely missed. Thank you for the memories!!!! R. I.P.
1st time I had heard Kenny and fell instantly in love with him and his songs, (don't judge me I was only 8,I thought for a while he was grizzly Adams, I thought what can't this gorgeous man do, built his cabin, rescued a bear and lord can he sing) Love forever and always Kenny 💕
Just playing this family favourite song at my father inlaws grave side, he loved this song, Kenny Rogers what a man what a voice, legend. God bless you kenny
If I remember correctly, The Midnight Special acts were live. It just that whoever edited this video, decided to replace the original audio [sung live], with a better quality from the record. I think that is a mistake. If you can't sync it perfectly, then leave the original audio. ruclips.net/video/C1e9p6J89rQ/видео.html
Or maybe, just maybe, the audio and video are not synched. Anyone who grew up during the Vietnam war recognizes this is not the hit parade version of this song.
A much underestimated and intriguing work that still resonates as much today as when it was first published. Kenny Rogers squeezes every last drop of value out of it too; a fantastically crafted, engaging blend and a joy to the listener.
Such a beautiful song. This was an early KENNY ROGERS but his voice was already great. Love the song's story...the lyrics are sad but so very beautiful..
Kenny looks SO COOL here! I love the song and this earlier version. That woman on stage is smoking hot in the white boots. But what a great performance! RIP Kenny Rogers
It sure really truly honestly wouldn't matter what the song was I sure really truly honestly do love it,Kenny Roger's is,was a wonderful singer,actor. I sure really truly honestly do, did like the movies that he was in.
This song came out just when the VA hospitals were packed with guys wounded in Vietnam. It’s a very deep song about a scenario probably played out in reality by hundreds of thousands of veterans.
That man was so damn HOT! Even when he got old. I hated it when he started up with that plastic surgery. It ruined him. And, what a voice, talent, and songwriter he was.
All of fans enjoyed the music 🎶 🎵 he made,as well as the movies that he was in . Kenny was dearly loved, deeply missed,well known, well thought of,I was a fan of his music 🎶 🎵, he was my hero in the movies 🎬 he was in for a very long time ⌛ ⏲️. Kenny may you rip . May the good lord watch over you 🙏,keep you safe.
I remember like yesterday being in some dusty little thrift shop in San Diego California where I grew up and somehow managing to fully comprehend the complexities of all the adults emotions conveyed in this song.. even though I was only 11 years old at the time.
Growing up in sleepy Linda Vista early 60s.. Movie Theatre on Linda Vista Rd later became Skating Rink ..Perry Boys Smorgasboard on Convoy now Home Depot.. A&W Drive-Ins on Convoy now Sushi Row....SAFEWAY became Health Clinic...Yes, the physical structures are long gone and replaced but you can still take that stroll down memory lane and Yes, there was most likely A SONG not far away...Ahh, The Power of 🎼Music
Man, I didn't recognize Kenny! I remember another song that was a hit for The First Edition (my baby she wrote me a letter??????). NOPE that was by the Box tops. Sorry! I just love this song, a real time piece from days of another war. RIHP, Kenny.. Thank you ❤️ a million times💗

Me, too.
Same here barb

I used to sing it when I was 10. My dad played it for me. He is gone. I am 62.
Such a dark song with a loving sounding melody. Totally an emotional shitstorm in an artistically incredible way
The tambourine lady makes this song pop ....
She probably the best percussion in the world at the time what an awesome powerful song done to perfection by Kenny Rodgers and the 1st edition ❤️
“If I could move I’d get my gun and put her in the ground”. Wow, don’t let the light & friendly choo choo train melody fool you. This song has teeth.
Right? Unfortunately people have affairs to able bodied and disabled people. Killing someone because she/he was something you can't give, but she/he is there for you in every other way is psychotic. But, it does have a nice rhythm and it speaks for many people who feel or have felt that way.
My favorite song by Kenny. Rest In Peace and thank you.
Mine too
Yug
Ahhhh I love him singing this x
Mine too
Old age is a bastard. Our one and only KENNY Rogers. A home grown hero. Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace KENNY
Yes sir Amen
He became better when he aged.
So it is not if you evolve.
Of course eventually it is bad if you go rip.
For me he was the Best country singer ever, a Chinese friend of mine heard me playing his records she Never heard country music B4 next day she went out n Bought 3 of his CDs He was the Elvis of country music
I loved the way he sang he had a very unique voice and sound
Its weird being old now. I never felt it happening. I always feel the same inside, so that's good. But the outside- it's just a shell.

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair. Юв пейнтед ап ё липс энд ролд энд кёрлд ё тинтед хэир.
Kenny’s tambourine player was simply stunning.
Yep, she must be about 80 now, but I'm in love with her!
Dual wielding! Girl means business!!!🤣🤣
Her name is Mary Arnold..aka Mrs. Roger Miller.
RIP Ssgt. John Boyd - Vietnam '69; '71. Miss you old buddy and hope that you FINALLY found peace ... It was so sad to see you desperately trying to stop the pain until the heroin finally killed you ... If only your PTSD was treated earlier!
Gives me chills. I love this song today just as much as I did as a child when I heard this playing on the record player at my grandmother's house.
With all his later “hammers” as he referred to them, this song and Glen Campbell’s Galveston are still the most underrated protest songs ever sang. Mr. Rogers. A figure on the Mt Rushmore of great singer performers. RIP
Is absolutely the best version of this song that there is. Well beyond its time and forever encapsulated in our minds
I like the farm aid version better, but this is great.
This is not the original audio from the show. This is the studio version dubbed over the live video.
A master storyteller. I have goose bumps.
One of the best KENNY songs ever
This and The Coward of the County are up there in the top 10.
I was a girl when this song came out. Lots of relatives and friends family members that were in that war. I remember how sad this song made me because even as a young girl, I understood it. Still makes me cry.
I was almost 14 when this song came out. I cried every time I heard it on the radio. Still love it. Just found out today that it was written by Mel Tillis.
I also just found out this wasn't an original Kenny Roger's song. And still cry when I hear it!
I too cry when I hear it, Why?
I've been led to believe that it's actually about the Korean war...
@@julenepegher6999 It is a sad story for everyone involved.
I was four when I first heard him saying and it was this song that was on my dad’s friend big stereo I could not move because I was Hypnotized by Kenny Rogers voice. I have been a fan of him ever since that was 1977
Such a deep and sentimental song. I'm not from anywhere near the US and I felt that song. RIP Kenny. You were a genius!!!
What a gorgeous sexy man with an effortless beautiful voice xx rest in peace kenny Rogers xxxx
I used to dance the quick step to this with my wonderful Dad. He passed away in 1999 after a fourteen and a half year battle with cancer, age 65 😪😪😪😪💕💕💕💕
I'm so sorry for your loss ♡ may he rest in peace!
Rip

Agree with every word you say my friend.
Anytime, you're enjoying the moment while singing is a wonderful feeling.....gg, Tampa, Florida
Right as rain George... St.Cloud, Fl.
Such a talented guy Kenny was. When I hear him. it reminds me of my dad. As he played he's records all the time. RIP

ahh that little flick to the Dminor is genius - its a sad chord and just makes this song stand out . .
My favorite Kenny Roger's song too!
my grandfather loved this tune... How I miss you Gramps
RIP Mr. Kenny Rogers. ❤️🌹❤️
Kenny Rogers with brown hair and glasses...mind blown!
Kenny was a hippy ear ring and all.He was high in this video.
A song that many veterans could relate to when returning from Vietnam. Very unfortunate, sad, but true. Would have loved to have seen a video for this. One of Gabe's from the great Kenny Rogers.
One of the few men who actually looked better as they aged. He looked great here but then became a legend and the silver hair suited it perfectly
In his prime Kenny had locks like a lion’s mane
Kenny was crazy young singing this tune it's magnificent indeed
I saw Kenny twice, once with the first edition and once after he had gone solo. He was the consummate entertainer with an amazing voice and the ability to connect with the audience. Kenny, you are sorely missed. Thank you for the memories!!!! R. I.P.

My Favorite... RIP Kenny Rogers
Kenny's best song! Love it! Gone but not forgotten.
Viva Kenny Rogers por siempre

It took how many seasons before he was able to prove that he didn't kill that man he was accused of killing?
@@TheCalico72 IKR
For me this was Kenny at his best. I even watched his television show.
Just playing this family favourite song at my father inlaws grave side, he loved this song,
Kenny Rogers what a man what a voice, legend.
God bless you kenny
Don't forget The Coward of the County, another one of Kenny's greatest.
They should make a movie about this song! I think it’s his best song! My favorite
Kenny Rogers, we around the World, miss you!
Just a great song, always will be......gg

Such a sad song.
That bass is awesome
Love it. He doesn't even pretend to be singing live. So cool

I actually really like it.
@@urdivine - thanks for the link. I was looking for that. I totally agree with you!
Or maybe, just maybe, the audio and video are not synched.
Anyone who grew up during the Vietnam war recognizes this is not the hit parade version of this song.
Buena rola 😢. Saludos desde TIJUANA BC. MÉXICO
A great song rip Kenny
Nobody else can rock those specs and still look ultra cool. Dang....
A much underestimated and intriguing work that still resonates as much today as when it was first published.
Kenny Rogers squeezes every last drop of value out of it too; a fantastically crafted, engaging blend and a joy to the listener.
bravo! sir. a fine review
My favorite song by Kenny Rogers. RIP, Kenny. Also, thanks for this song, Mr. Mel Tillis!
Favorite song of his.
I was 16 when it came out.
Seriously? Am 65, felt like a few years ago. Thank you for sharing this classic.
Ein wundervoller Song
Such a beautiful song. This was an early KENNY ROGERS but his voice was already great. Love the song's story...the lyrics are sad but so very beautiful..
I’ll always love Kenny Rogers!! His voice is so beautiful!
Adore this song, my Cherie amour and penny lane, childhood favs, ideal for a vinyl stacker back in the 1970’s
Star ⭐️ can not be replaced thank Kenny Rogers for sharing your Talent with the world 🌎 ... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
RIP KENNY ROGERS you will be missed
He looks different with brown hair. Im use to it being white. Rip to my mom she loved this song
Loved this song the first time! 🩷
Kenny looks SO COOL here! I love the song and this earlier version. That woman on stage is smoking hot in the white boots. But what a great performance! RIP Kenny Rogers
Best song i ever heard takes me back to my youth!
You will always live in our heart Kenny ❤
Kenny is a legend 🙏
