I'm from Poland. I remember when in communism we could listen to Kenny Rogers on Radio. His "Lucille" was a hit for many years. You gave us a sense of freedom Kenny ... R.I.P.
Miłość do Polski. I've always been fascinated by the terrible tales from communist-run states. History is a teacher. One of my heroes, as a cold war American kid, was Lech Walesa. That guy had such brass balls!
I got to spend about an hour with Kenny around 20 years ago. He was the nicest, most gracious "celebrity" I've ever had the opportunity to spend time with. His voice? Mellifluous.
The guy seemed so completely stress free and so completely comfortable in his own skin. He had such an angelic quality, he lived in peace now he rest in peace.
@@gordonmills2748 Oh how terrific..sounds like it was a day you'll cherish...what did he look like in the flesh..I met a big heart throb once and he didn't look so great.
When my dad started going salt and pepper for his hair he look at quite a bit like Kenny Rogers. My mom use to say she had her own Kenny. Kenny was a legend in his own right R.I.P Kenny.
This one teared me up. He was so popular in the 70's and 80's. Great artist. This song was so simple, but so powerful. The simplest things are often the best.
My lovely wife pointed out to me that in these trying times, many people on social media have turned more towards music than ever. I think that is wonderful. Thank you for your many contributions.
They called him the Silver Fox for a good reason. And that Voice of his is all deliberate. Every minute and tiny inflection that he uses. Being a Country singer, his cross overs to other genres were all very special. Lionel's song writing and music was a perfect fit for him. This song created a real life long friendship.
Hearing Kenny passed away this weekend hit me pretty hard. Childhood memories of listening to him because my mom did. Great song choice and reaction Rebecca. Another of my favorites from this era is Randy Travis. You should listen to some of his music. Forever and ever, amen.
Same. One of my funniest childhood memories relates to Kenny. I had lyrocosis on his song "Lucille" and would sing along (loudly) "Four Hundred children and a crop in the field!" (For those who don't know, as I didn't, the lyric is actually, "Four *Hungry children...") I still laugh and sing it wrong on purpose because it beings me such joy! RIP Kenny.
Stage presence galore!!!!!!!!! Kenny was a master of his craft. His career spanned over 50 years. He started in Rock & switched over to Country and Western. In that genre, Country and Western he became KING. He was so, so special. I enjoy your reviews & insights. Thank YOU...... Take care...........
The song was originally "Baby", but he had just married and raved to Lionel Ritchie about the wonderful lady he married. So Lionel changed the "Baby" to "Lady", and it went on to be one of Kenny's greatest hits.
Yes, it's true. It was Baby First and Lionel changed it for Kenny because he had just got married. They were really good friends. I learned of Kenny Rogers it's because of Lionel i started listening to Kenny And loved him. Music telling how I feel. Followed his career and even went to one of his concert. Thanks for some of the best times of my life 🤴🏼 the wonderful memories Brought tears to my eyes. Kenny Rogers. Rest up. 🤠😎🙏🏾
According to Lionel and Kenny, that isnt true. Watch the vid where they sing this together , before they sing it, they tell the story of how at first it only had the first word written "Lady" .
Thank you for doing this. Kenny was a legend, and with all the current craziness in the world, his passing went largely unnoticed. Beautiful song and masterfully executed.
He was quite the artist. I never heard anything bad about the man. He always seemed to be a lovely human, and I don't think the preacher needed to lie at his funeral. Really that's all we can do folks. I hope you have a wonderful week miss Rebecca. Smile. Take care of yourself. Hydrate. Be happy. Listen to more music. Take deep breaths. The world is a bit crazy, but we don't have to be. This too shall pass.
@@rickwelch8464 On the off chance you're being serious I'll answer you. It's an expression. I don't think they've actually had a service for the man because of everything going on right now. I hope you have a good day.
I'm paraphrasing and my facts maybe off a little, but the story from Kenney was he went to see Lionel about writing him a new song. Lionel sat down at the piano and in about 10 minutes Kenny had his new song Lady!! The interview is on RUclips and it has been awhile since I've seen it, but it is a great story and I recommend watching it!!
Your both correct I saw the same interview and kenny was set to preform it 10 minutes later Lionel Richie went into bathroom and finished the song up till then he just had "lady da da da" came out and kenny had to read the lyrics off the cardboard box it was written on
I heard something about the "baby" story yet don't remember where or when thank you for making me reboot my mind truly appreciate it have to find another wife for if mine was still alive she'd be able to fill in the blanks Gypsy was terrific at filling in the gaps great memories thank you again
He and Lionel became extremely close over the years. Theres a video of them singing this together when they're older. It's great!! They loved telling the story of the writing of this song.
Thank you for your kindness Rebecca, as a country music fan I grew up hearing his music as a child and carried the love into my adult life, he was a legend and beloved. I love when people with platforms bring people around the world to show love and respect for artists who have passed away no matter what genre. I have seen your videos paying love for Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, and others, and you are always so thoughtful in your words, yet so honest and genuine with your reaction all at the same time. I love that about you. Thank you for what you do. It brings joy to my heart, Hugs!
Kenny was the man, mine and my wife’s first date was his concert in our town in 1983. The stage was a circle with the band in the center well and the mike was corded and followed him around the stage on a rail.
Wherever he is now, his songs keep on echoing alive everywhere. I love the movie, coward of the county. Watch out at this time covid19 is spreading, take care.
I had the pleasure of meeting him and he was very nice! It was after one of his concerts at the casino where I worked! I’ve been listening to his music since I was a child!
There's nothing more majical than a brilliant angelic raw voice its real raw and almost angelic and the inperfection in his voice was perfect 👌 🎶 beautiful ❤️
You should watch a video of Kenny and Lionel singing this song together. Rogers talks about how the song came about. It's a funny story. But you can also see the love, respect and admiration those two had for one another. Keep in mind, this was in 1980. Kenny was known for this type of vocal style back then. Hope you are keeping well. Stay safe, healthy and have a blessed week... 🎶🌹🎤🙂
Kenny Rogers was so good his music's been a part of my life for over 40 years. It's so cool watching younger generations enjoy his music even to this day
Thank you Rebecca, for the kind words and recognizing the talent of this the "Platinum Knight of Romance", Mr. Kenny Rogers! He gave us the true romance fans of my generation as early as our teenage years the opportunity to enjoy falling in love to the sound of his magnificent and unique voice back then as well as "though the years! He was a late bloomer in his success, but he played his cards right and left us a legacy by way of his music. The Gambler shall truly be missed, thank you for the memories, RIP Kenny Rogers. 💔🎙🤠
The simple songs are the most amazing songs, especially when they have such great Melodies like LADY. Well done Mr. Richie for writing such amazing Melody and thanks to Mr. Rogers for execute it so perfectly. RIP
This is my favorite song done by Kenny Rogers. I have often found myself, over the many years since this came out, hearing the similarities between his & Lionel Richie's voices & style of singing. Kenny was the perfect choice for doing this one. "Silver Fox" is very appropriate. Thanks, Ms Rebecca for doing this... Hope you are well & stay safe.
This is not an audition for The Voice. 21 Number one hits, Album of the year, Single of the year, 2 Grammys, movies. I think this American musical legend was greatly loved and will be missed. R.I.P. gambler. Also no auto-tune or bs computer trash.
@@popland1977 Like it or not, PEOPLE or the masses, decide who's great and who isn't,,not a insignificant vocal coach. You don't win Grammy awards if you're not voted to do so by professional peers. You're analogy makes no sense? Aretha Franklin was just as recognized and accomplished as Madonna? We are not comparing one singer vs another Kenny Rogers was a great singer and her opinion of his voice, after a highly successful six plus decade career is moot.
@@clydeb7713 you are a dense prick, art is not a contest, awards mean nothing, personal opinions are the only thing that does matter, you couldn't be more wrong! Rebecca's opinion is not insignificant, but YOU are an ASS.
@@charlieo.possum5501 Listen jerk! You are as insignificant as she is. You are the prime example of how opinions are like assholes --- Everybody has one!
My mom is a big Kenny Rogers fan so I grew up listening to him. I have a soft spot for his music and he always seemed like such a cool guy. It definitely was heartbreaking to hear of his passing. Thank you for posting this...it's always been one of my favorite songs. ❤️ Xoxo Huge hugs and love to you! *Jessie*
His voice always made me feel like someone gave me a hug. He was a true gentleman. So many women were so in love with him. It was like he sang to you alone
Maybe it’s because she’s not listening to it as a woman but as a coach. She’s missing the emotion because she’s trying to analyze every word. You can’t do that with Kenny Rogers 😍
Daniel Ramos EXACTLY!! That’s what I said also. She’s listening as a “coach”. This isn’t The Voice. Kenny already won, bypassed everyone, and showed men in 1985 how to talk to your Lady. Well him and Lionel ☺️. I was only 10 in 85 but I’m 45 now and I know now why my momma had this record playing all the time. God bless 🙏🇺🇸
My dad had an amazing tenor voice. He looked like a cross between Kenny and Elvis in his youth, and was approached with offers to make records and tour. But he had no desire for fame or fortune, he wanted a quiet life, and so he spent his life singing in church, with his sisters, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles and cousins. He used his voice for the glory of God, and when he passed, a houseful of people came to sing him home. Whenever I tell someone he’s my dad, they tell me a story about how he helped them out or just say he was such a good friend. I’ve seriously never heard a bad word about him. I think he could have been a huge hit, he was that talented and that charismatic, but I’m thankful everyday he chose to be my dad. Big shoes to fill.
I must say that he was very gray/white haired for 42 which makes him look much older, im turning 49 this year and while i have quite a bit of graying in my beard my hair has more a few single hairs here an there that are gray which you pretty much only see in certain lighting conditions, at 40 i didnt have any gray hairs. He was a very good looking man though and the gray/white suited him and he could also sing like a god. I remember the big classic hits from my childhood and even though my main interest in music is very different i have a weak spot for such songs and as a musician and songwriter myself i have great respect for both the songwriting and singing performance. Beautiful song and stellar performance. RIP Kenny Rogers
@@Stefan- Well everyone is different, gray hair probably runs in his family. At least he had hair, my father lost his before he was 25 years old! I've never seen him with hair. I'm almost 48 and have a lot of grey! Stay safe!
Love it. I love how he sells out in the later part of that song. You can see him struggle, but this is one of those times that it was perfect. Really great.
"Ohh Ruuuuuu-by - don't take your love to town....Ohh Ruuuuuu-by - for God's sake, turn around...because we're self-isolating". 🤣 R.I.P., "The Gambler"
i am still at a loss for words after losing one of my musical heroes Mr Kenny Rogers at 81 years old last Friday night i was a very big fan of his music and will miss him every day . his life maybe over but hi music will live on forever
Definitely one of the best singer of all time, his kindness on stage as well out stage a legacy that few other can give.. Lovely adorable humble human been few people this day are like him.. Love you k. A extraordinary legend over 150 million albums sold..
His country stuff was all fine and dandy but Kenny's death metal masterpiece, "I Absolutely, Positively, Unequivocally F*cking Hate Squirrels... Except To Eat!", is an classic. I rank it right up there with "Abbey Road", "Thriller", "Lemonade" and "Disco Duck".
@@fridz66 lol naw, he's just joking...and made me chuckle. *edit* I just did a quick google search, and the *ONLY* thing that came up, was a link to this video...lol...that was it, blank page and this vid :-D I tried a Yahoo search, and got normal, 'full', pages, but nothing anywhere near M McBride's line, and after looking at a couple pages, not even a link this vid, lol I still like the line tho...lol
Being born in and from Nashville TN country music USA I'll just say he is/was loved very much. I grew up listening to him. A very nice n humble man. RIP Kenny
She should just stop pausing the video and listen to the song with an unanalytical ear ,she almost sucked the emotion out of this song .I am sitting here with tears in my eyes and she said ,I got emotional , ,,when? I won't be back to her channel ,cheers bud and take care .Jamal aka Jamel is cool ,check out his channel.
Kenny "pantie dropper" Rogers! You've got to react to the video of Kenny and Lionel Ritchie singing this song together. The bond between Kenny and Lionel on stage when they sing it together is so powerful and moving!
The night after Kenny Rogers passed my wife and I stayed up all night playing cards, drinking, reminiscing and crying. What a ton of youthful memories and good & bad times. Another icon gone to the wind.
It´s amazing how much emotion he manages to pour into this song, listening to other versions put´s it into perspective. No one makes this a "cry song" like Kenny does.
What a great song and a great artist he can just stand there basically and deliver a song like that is a true artist RIP Kenny Rogers, I hope you are looking after yourself Rebecca stay safe
I saw Kenny twice when I was a kid. My mom LOVED his music so she took me to two concerts. After all these years and after all the concerts I’ve been to since then, I can honestly say that Kenny Rogers put on the finest concert with the most unrivaled quality that I have ever seen. He was so fussy about the performance, and such a perfectionist, everything had to be “Just Right”. You definitely got your money’s worth and then some.
You are so kind and respectful. Thankful for your positive comments. I can’t sing but always wished I grew up in a family that encouraged your interest & abilities.... SUBSCRIBED & can’t wait to hear more of your comments. Lots of hugs & love, positive vibes TOO to you & your family. ❣️❣️❣️
I highly recommend Ronnie Milsap's Any Day Now or any of his hits really, for a video reaction. It's great to see the breadth of genres you cover. Awesome!
Excellent insights wonderful reaction 👏🏻 Great channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wesley Media Hub has now officially subscribed to this channel 👍🏻 Best regards Nigel WMH Team - Australia 🇦🇺 Ps; Also, Congrats again to you 👏🏻 as we have decided to highlight 30-60 seconds of this video (Including full credit and link back to this video) in our upcoming RUclips music documentary about Kenny Rogers
Rest in Peace Kenny Rogers🙏❤ Hi madam! Can you feature Whitney Houston to your next video. She is the "The Greatest Voice of All Time". Many called her as "The Voice" and NO QUESTION FOR THAT. Guiness World recognized her as "The Most Awarded Female-Act of All Time". In every report of who are the best singers of all time, she's always in the list. "If not the best, probably one of the best singers of all time" - Aretha Franklin "The Greatest Voice of All Time" - Baby Face "No one could beat her during the past decades (her prime) , not Mariah, not Celine." - Dianne Sawyer She also influenced some of the greatest legends and to be legends soon such as: Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Brandy, Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguillera, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and many more As a big fan of Whitney Houston, kindly react to some of her perfomances that I considered as my top 10 among her best😘😘😘 1. All the Man that I Need (Welcome Home Heroes) 2. One Moment In Time (Grammy Award) 3. Saving All My Love For You (Concert in Japan) 4. In Return (Concert in Japan) 5. A Song For You (Welcome Home Heroes) 6. Didn't We Almost Have It All (New York) 7. I Have Nothing (Concert in South Africa) 8. Home (Live in South Africa) 9. I Will Always Love You (Chile) 10. The Greatest Love of All (Arista Record) Advance thank you and I wish you the best😘😘😘
Interesting to hear you do a review of Kenny Rogers. I was a fan of the group The First Edition, of which Kenny was a founding member. I saw them in concert back in the early 70s. Had no idea at the time that he would become such s superstar. Check out The First Edition sometime, for fun. ruclips.net/video/4EJGZt3X6uU/видео.html
Me too! Somethings Burning and I think it's loooove!... And also Oh Ruuuuby, Don't take your love to town! I miss the old days. Too many are passing right in front of our eyes. Say safe. God bless
This was a brand new song for his Greatest Hits album - that was number one on my Christmas list that year - And my 12-year-old self played that thing for hours and hours and hours ... I still have it, 40 years later.
I can see it on your expression, while still trying to be the vocal coach, you find the lyrics touching. Just my opinion. I enjoy watching this generations ladies reacting to this song. It seems almost every one of them touch their arm or neck. I think it's a bit of a chill. Again ,just my opinion. Thank you.
Thank for reacting to this Music Legend! He brings back the incredible music I heard during his lifetime in music and also,"memories of my youth! As Vince Gill sang once... Go Rest High On That Mountain, Kenny,Your work is Done! RIP. 💖
Loved it!Always have and I always will!He was one of my favorites when I was young I had a lot of his eight tracks!Legend!Rest in peace!Thank you Rebecca!He has so many hits!Have a great day lady!
This is for me the most beautiful love song ever written. It identifies me in so way that I’ve got chills and wish to die at that very moment. Thanks for the react.
So many ladies and maybe some dudes, dropping their drawers to that smokey voice. Listen to that crowd. That's what mass swooning sounds like. Baby making music.
Listening to Kenny makes me think back to days of growing up. My father enjoyed many different artists and certainly liked Kenny. I remember sitting and listening to KR and my father sing along with him. Ruby, The Gambler and Lady were 3 of his favorites. May they both rest in peace. Thanks for this.
Kenny Rogers is my all time favorite singer. Lady is my personal favorite song by him as well. And it is one of my favorite songs to sing. I’m very happy that you recognized Kenny by reacting to Lady. Thank you.

Kenny was a silver fox in his hey day, and he threw people into confusion. He looked like a mountain man and sounded like an angel.
Hahaha ,You got that right,not to be rude but,Kenny could sing the panties off the front row.
@@markdemell3717 the whole damn arena!
I feel so blessed to have grown up listening to his music not by choice lol. My Dad was a Mexican immigrant listening to Kenny. Awesome.
I'm from Poland. I remember when in communism we could listen to Kenny Rogers on Radio. His "Lucille" was a hit for many years.
You gave us a sense of freedom Kenny ...
R.I.P.
Now Poland is a beacon of freedom and strength cheers from America.
Yeah communism sucks a fat cock. Kenny Roger's aka The Gambler for the win!
poland has been a good friend to the USA RIP Kenny

Lady was our first dance as husband and wife almost 38 years ago. R.I.P.

Lady was our first dance almost 40 years ago. RIP Kenny R

As Ron Burgundy would say “this is baby making music” 😂
"Little ham and eggs comin' at ya"
Not to be crass, but yeah. I learned in high school, that if you can at least sing this song half way decently, to a girl. You're gonna get some.
This one teared me up. He was so popular in the 70's and 80's. Great artist.
This song was so simple, but so powerful. The simplest things are often the best.
My lovely wife pointed out to me that in these trying times, many people on social media have turned more towards music than ever. I think that is wonderful. Thank you for your many contributions.
And during 2020 the song it’s the end of the world got more views on Spotify then other years previous
Lady is the most beautiful song ever written and sung by Kenny Rogers, gives me goosebumps, love him always
give credit to lionel richie, he made the song. kenny added lyrics to some verses. everyone knows that.
A graciously respectful tribute to an iconic musical giant.

I started listening to Kenny Rogers when he was with the First Edition. "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" from 1969 was one of my favorite 45s.
Mine too. Rebecca needs to react to that.
I'm allowed to sing: "It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed..." - because mine are. 😉 You should see people when I sing that. 😂
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in...
Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town was one of the first Kenny Rogers songs I listened to as a boy back in the 70s.
There is never any doubt of who it is when you hear that voice. An absolute ground breaker and legend. Brilliant tribute!
The song was originally "Baby", but he had just married and raved to Lionel Ritchie about the wonderful lady he married. So Lionel changed the "Baby" to "Lady", and it went on to be one of Kenny's greatest hits.

Kenny Rogers' voice is so rich and deep it captivates you. All of his songs take me on a journey. He will be missed.
I was about 7 when this came out. For me, It kind of ushered in the 80's.
I grew up listening to this song. I love it still. RIP Kenny. I adored your singing, and it’s like loosing family.
This is not an audition for The Voice.
21 Number one hits, Album of the year, Single of the year, 2 Grammys, movies.
I think this American musical legend was greatly loved and will be missed.
R.I.P. gambler. Also no auto-tune or bs computer trash.
So, commercial success is more important? By that flawed logic, Madonna is better than Aretha
@@popland1977 Like it or not, PEOPLE or the masses, decide who's great and who isn't,,not a insignificant vocal coach. You don't win Grammy awards if you're not voted to do so by professional peers. You're analogy makes no sense? Aretha Franklin was just as recognized and accomplished as Madonna? We are not comparing one singer vs another Kenny Rogers was a great singer and her opinion of his voice, after a highly successful six plus decade career is moot.
@@clydeb7713 you are a dense prick, art is not a contest, awards mean nothing, personal opinions are the only thing that does matter, you couldn't be more wrong! Rebecca's opinion is not insignificant, but YOU are an ASS.
@@charlieo.possum5501 Listen jerk! You are as insignificant as she is. You are the prime example of how opinions are like assholes --- Everybody has one!
Vocal coach RUclipsrs are like professors in college. They couldn't succeed in their craft or what they studied, so they "teach" it.
Miss you already Kenny. Thanks for being a part of my life.
I don't know why I am a fan of Kenny Rogers, I just am 👀 Try "Coward of The Country"
“Coward of the county”
My mom is a big Kenny Rogers fan so I grew up listening to him. I have a soft spot for his music and he always seemed like such a cool guy. It definitely was heartbreaking to hear of his passing. Thank you for posting this...it's always been one of my favorite songs. ❤️ Xoxo Huge hugs and love to you! *Jessie*
😢 I'm sad for my Aunt. She was gutted when he passed. Thank you for doing this. xxx
His voice always made me feel like someone gave me a hug. He was a true gentleman. So many women were so in love with him. It was like he sang to you alone
I don’t understand how anyone could give a thumbs down.
Maybe it’s because she’s not listening to it as a woman but as a coach. She’s missing the emotion because she’s trying to analyze every word. You can’t do that with Kenny Rogers 😍
The thumbs down is for the ridiculous critique. Kenny's voice is iconic. It needs no critique. Just listen and be moved by the song.
Daniel Ramos EXACTLY!! That’s what I said also. She’s listening as a “coach”. This isn’t The Voice. Kenny already won, bypassed everyone, and showed men in 1985 how to talk to your Lady. Well him and Lionel ☺️. I was only 10 in 85 but I’m 45 now and I know now why my momma had this record playing all the time. God bless 🙏🇺🇸
Maybe it's Luke Bryan's of the country music world today not liking how REAL TALENT makes them look so pathetic lol
My dad had an amazing tenor voice. He looked like a cross between Kenny and Elvis in his youth, and was approached with offers to make records and tour. But he had no desire for fame or fortune, he wanted a quiet life, and so he spent his life singing in church, with his sisters, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles and cousins. He used his voice for the glory of God, and when he passed, a houseful of people came to sing him home. Whenever I tell someone he’s my dad, they tell me a story about how he helped them out or just say he was such a good friend. I’ve seriously never heard a bad word about him. I think he could have been a huge hit, he was that talented and that charismatic, but I’m thankful everyday he chose to be my dad. Big shoes to fill.
Kenny Rogers was 42 when Lady was released in 1980.
I must say that he was very gray/white haired for 42 which makes him look much older, im turning 49 this year and while i have quite a bit of graying in my beard my hair has more a few single hairs here an there that are gray which you pretty much only see in certain lighting conditions, at 40 i didnt have any gray hairs. He was a very good looking man though and the gray/white suited him and he could also sing like a god. I remember the big classic hits from my childhood and even though my main interest in music is very different i have a weak spot for such songs and as a musician and songwriter myself i have great respect for both the songwriting and singing performance. Beautiful song and stellar performance. RIP Kenny Rogers
@@Stefan- Well everyone is different, gray hair probably runs in his family. At least he had hair, my father lost his before he was 25 years old! I've never seen him with hair. I'm almost 48 and have a lot of grey! Stay safe!
I was 11 then.i remember hearing it
My dad had hair and a beard like his. He went grey, like me in his late twenties.
Love it. I love how he sells out in the later part of that song. You can see him struggle, but this is one of those times that it was perfect. Really great.
You are so adorable, Rebecca!
R.I.P. Kenny Rogers.
So glade I got to meet and see him live , a real genuine and loving person . He was not fake, this is all him . It’s the way he was. R.I.P
"Ohh Ruuuuuu-by - don't take your love to town....Ohh Ruuuuuu-by - for God's sake, turn around...because we're self-isolating". 🤣
R.I.P., "The Gambler"
i am still at a loss for words after losing one of my musical heroes Mr Kenny Rogers at 81 years old last Friday night i was a very big fan of his music and will miss him every day . his life maybe over but hi music will live on forever
Love Rebecca’s positivity. She is really great.
Definitely one of the best singer of all time, his kindness on stage as well out stage a legacy that few other can give.. Lovely adorable humble human been few people this day are like him.. Love you k. A extraordinary legend over 150 million albums sold..
His country stuff was all fine and dandy but Kenny's death metal masterpiece, "I Absolutely, Positively, Unequivocally F*cking Hate Squirrels... Except To Eat!", is an classic. I rank it right up there with "Abbey Road", "Thriller", "Lemonade" and "Disco Duck".
Link? :O
Wait, I’m lost. Is this real?
@@fridz66 lol
naw, he's just joking...and made me chuckle.
*edit*
I just did a quick google search, and the *ONLY* thing that came up, was a link to this video...lol...that was it, blank page and this vid :-D
I tried a Yahoo search, and got normal, 'full', pages, but nothing anywhere near M McBride's line, and after looking at a couple pages, not even a link this vid, lol
I still like the line tho...lol
Being born in and from Nashville TN country music USA I'll just say he is/was loved very much. I grew up listening to him. A very nice n humble man. RIP Kenny
when his voice starts to break up, it sounds like someone who is trying hard to speak while choking up with emotion
She should just stop pausing the video and listen to the song with an unanalytical ear ,she almost sucked the emotion out of this song .I am sitting here with tears in my eyes and she said ,I got emotional , ,,when? I won't be back to her channel ,cheers bud and take care .Jamal aka Jamel is cool ,check out his channel.
I swear i listen to this everyday, I love this live version of this song! ❤😢 Rest In Paradise Kenny rogers
Kenny "pantie dropper" Rogers! You've got to react to the video of Kenny and Lionel Ritchie singing this song together. The bond between Kenny and Lionel on stage when they sing it together is so powerful and moving!
The night after Kenny Rogers passed my wife and I stayed up all night playing cards, drinking, reminiscing and crying. What a ton of youthful memories and good & bad times. Another icon gone to the wind.
You never count your money
when you're sittin at the table. 😃
Kenny Rogers was my grandma's favorite singer and now that Im an old folk I know why. With his looks and charisma on stage you knew he was a man's man
That man's voice *swooning* LOL Rebecca, yes his suit...*swoon* with me Rebecca, yes yes he is handsome, I agree as I wipe my mouth with my drool bib
It´s amazing how much emotion he manages to pour into this song, listening to other versions put´s it into perspective. No one makes this a "cry song" like Kenny does.
What a great song and a great artist he can just stand there basically and deliver a song like that is a true artist RIP Kenny Rogers, I hope you are looking after yourself Rebecca stay safe
I saw Kenny twice when I was a kid. My mom LOVED his music so she took me to two concerts. After all these years and after all the concerts I’ve been to since then, I can honestly say that Kenny Rogers put on the finest concert with the most unrivaled quality that I have ever seen. He was so fussy about the performance, and such a perfectionist, everything had to be “Just Right”. You definitely got your money’s worth and then some.
Great job Rebecca!! You’re so beautiful!! Stay safe!! 😉😘😍🥰♥️
You are so kind and respectful. Thankful for your positive comments. I can’t sing but always wished I grew up in a family that encouraged your interest & abilities.... SUBSCRIBED & can’t wait to hear more of your comments. Lots of hugs & love, positive vibes TOO to you & your family. ❣️❣️❣️
I highly recommend Ronnie Milsap's Any Day Now or any of his hits really, for a video reaction. It's great to see the breadth of genres you cover. Awesome!
When Kenny sings, you know it's him...especially, his vocals and singing style.
You need to hear “Love the World Away”
Excellent insights wonderful reaction 👏🏻
Great channel

Hi madam! Can you feature Whitney Houston to your next video. She is the "The Greatest Voice of All Time". Many called her as "The Voice" and NO QUESTION FOR THAT. Guiness World recognized her as "The Most Awarded Female-Act of All Time". In every report of who are the best singers of all time, she's always in the list.
"If not the best, probably one of the best singers of all time"
- Aretha Franklin
"The Greatest Voice of All Time"
- Baby Face
"No one could beat her during the past decades (her prime) , not Mariah, not Celine."
- Dianne Sawyer
She also influenced some of the greatest legends and to be legends soon such as: Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Brandy, Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguillera, Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and many more
As a big fan of Whitney Houston, kindly react to some of her perfomances that I considered as my top 10 among her best😘😘😘
1. All the Man that I Need (Welcome Home Heroes)
2. One Moment In Time (Grammy Award)
3. Saving All My Love For You (Concert in Japan)
4. In Return (Concert in Japan)
5. A Song For You (Welcome Home Heroes)
6. Didn't We Almost Have It All (New York)
7. I Have Nothing (Concert in South Africa)
8. Home (Live in South Africa)
9. I Will Always Love You (Chile)
10. The Greatest Love of All (Arista Record)
Advance thank you and I wish you the best😘😘😘
He brings back memories for when I spent time with my grandma and my Aunt. I miss my grandma. And I will miss Kenny. R.I.P. Kenny.
Lionel did good with this lyrics but Kenny’s voice makes it perfect
When he says the words "Is where" towards the end of the song..he hits something deep in the heart. I can't explain it. It's just so real, real love.
I would love to hear Chis Stapleton cover this song in tribute to Kenny but with his own style.
This song can not be done better by anyone - PERIOD!
Interesting to hear you do a review of Kenny Rogers. I was a fan of the group The First Edition, of which Kenny was a founding member. I saw them in concert back in the early 70s. Had no idea at the time that he would become such s superstar.
Check out The First Edition sometime, for fun.

Me too! Somethings Burning and I think it's loooove!... And also Oh Ruuuuby, Don't take your love to town! I miss the old days. Too many are passing right in front of our eyes. Say safe. God bless
@@myowndrum286 and of course Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In
@@debbieroberts4141 Oh yes! I forgot about that one!
What an incredible man! He had a very good voice. I loved it! Very good! Thank you for posting this Rebecca! RIP Kenny Rogers!!❤️❤️xxxx
The "vocal fry" is just part of our southern accent. We call it "gravel".
This was a brand new song for his Greatest Hits album - that was number one on my Christmas list that year - And my 12-year-old self played that thing for hours and hours and hours ... I still have it, 40 years later.
I can see it on your expression, while still trying to be the vocal coach, you find the lyrics touching. Just my opinion. I enjoy watching this generations ladies reacting to this song. It seems almost every one of them touch their arm or neck. I think it's a bit of a chill. Again ,just my opinion. Thank you.
Yes, many panties dropped to this song.
Remember this was live. Makes it even more amazing.
Interessting!!! I watch your Videos... and something i notice: you Mimik (
Haha yeah I think so! I love to mimik and do impressions. I have a playlist on here :)
@@rva you Mimik perfekt!!! Musical= Option? I See you in Genre
Thank for reacting to this Music Legend!
He brings back the incredible music I heard during his lifetime
in music and also,"memories of
my youth!
As Vince Gill sang once...
Go Rest High On That Mountain,
Kenny,Your work is Done!

I hope YOU are someones' "LADY", Rebecca...
This is for me the most beautiful love song ever written. It identifies me in so way that I’ve got chills and wish to die at that very moment. Thanks for the react.
So many ladies and maybe some dudes, dropping their drawers to that smokey voice. Listen to that crowd. That's what mass swooning sounds like. Baby making music.
Listening to Kenny makes me think back to days of growing up. My father enjoyed many different artists and certainly liked Kenny. I remember sitting and listening to KR and my father sing along with him. Ruby, The Gambler and Lady were 3 of his favorites. May they both rest in peace. Thanks for this.
I don't always go there, but when I do, I go with Kenny Rogers... lol I saw him live about that same era.. my first concert... blew my mind!!!
Kenny Rogers is my all time favorite singer. Lady is my personal favorite song by him as well. And it is one of my favorite songs to sing. I’m very happy that you recognized Kenny by reacting to Lady. Thank you.
A Vocalist i'm glad my Father had me listen to while growing up.
