let me tell you something gentlemen. if you want to have a good time with the woman in your life, put this on the stereo, grab her hand and pull her up to slow dance and sing this one to her while dancing slow with her. my late wife loved it when I would sing to her like that. just slow dancing and singing in her ear softly. Man what I wouldn't give for another dance. treat every day like it's your last people. don't live with regrets.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written by Lionel Richie and sang by Kenny. An absolute masterpiece. Not to mention I am sure the ladies were throwing their undies-just like when Barry White and Teddy P would have concerts!! Unfortunately I was just a kid when these amazing men were at the top of their game!
Masterpiece is an understatement. You don’t find music like this anymore. I haven’t heard anything that falls into the timeless category in a long long time.
For the longest time, I didn't know it was written by Lionel. As soon as I learned that, I heard Lionel's voice clearly and wondered how I never realized it. Kenny does a great job with it though.
One of the first Mr Video reactions I watched was ,I believe a Frank Sinatra song. Towards the end MrVideo says something like "those girls weren't throwing they panties on stage, they just floated off the girl and went back to the panty drawer all on they own". I think that applies here.
I was only 8 when this song came out and knew next to nothing about life, love, or relationships, but I knew one thing with absolute certainty.... I wanted THIS song sung to me!!!! Even at 8, this song melted me!
When I was growing up in the 80s, I thought Kenny Rogers epitomized cornball music and rolled my eyes at it, but now that I'm older, I've come to appreciate his talent. He has countess great songs over the span of decades. Truly an amazing feat.
Every time I hear this it's a special occasion! The first time I heard it was in the car over the radio on a road trip! I've always loved Kenny Rogers!
Lionel Richie wrote it for Kenny at Kenny's request. Lionel was still with The Commodores at that time. This show also included Kenny with some of the ladies he sang recorded with, like Sheena Easton
This is a wedding song, obviously. My husband and I were trying to choose between this song and Lionel's "Truly". I think we ended up flipping a coin because it was so hard to choose. It did land on "Truly", but this song is so perfect. Women of ALL ages just swoon when they hear it!
Jamel whenever i see a reactor do a Kenny Rogers country song i always suggest they check out his 1960 psychedelic roots and no one has yet , please be the first = Kenny Roger and the 1st Edition , the song is = I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In . You'll be amazed with this very different style of his music.
I'm not a country fan but this song is an exception for me. I used to sing it to my mom when I was a little kid about maybe 8 years old because this was her favorite song from his collection of music.
I always enjoy your reactions! Since you enjoyed this one you should check out Lionel and Kenny singing it together. Magical! You have to hear the version where Kenny tells the story of how this song came to be, it's hilarious. He and Lionel remained dear friends throughout the years, they had a beautiful friendship! Both men had an incredible love and respect for one another, as artists and as human beings.
PLEASE CHECK OUT Kenny and Lionel singing Lady together at Lionel 's tribute. Kenny explains how the song was written very funny. This was my first dance at my wedding reception. Also Kenny's concert was our first date.
Loooooovvvvvveeee this song!!! I am not ashamed to say that this song is on steady rotation on my “love” playlist!!! Thanks to my parents love for music, I was able to listen to great songs like this one growing up!! Great reaction as always my friend! 🙌🏻❤️😎
At 4:20 "...and besiiiiiide me..." When I close my eyes and hear how he delivers that line, I always see Ray Charles singing in my mind. He must've been one of the artists that influenced and inspired Kenny, dont'cha think?
I love Kenny! One of my all time favorite singers. You have got to listen to the version that Kenny and Lionel did together (live in concert). some 30 years after this concert where Kenny is first introducing the song.. If you watch his face after he finished the song and is holding the mic in both hands, you will see Kenny say "wow" to himself for the audience reaction to the song. This was his first crossover song from Country to R&B , and is quite possibly his 'most copies sold.' song. Kenny and Lionel had a decades long true friendship which is evident when you watch the video of them singing "Lady" together. Be sure to play the video from the beginning where Kenny tells the story of how the song came to be. It's quite humorous and informative.
in the late 80's, Kenny Rogers walked into an Atlanta restaurant and passed our table.[ i heard he was a part owner- whatever]. i said 'hey there goes Kenny Rogers' and the waitress turned to look and dumped her entire drink tray down my back. good times! he just smiled...and it is funny now.
My fiance now husband played this for me when he asked me to marry him so many years ago. Still married & he's my man & I'm his lady. Been through a lot. Loss of child a few years ago but my man's love carried me and continues to carry me. A man that loves you can uphold,sustain and change your world. He saves my life everyday. I'm blessed even in our grief. I love you Chris
Soooo beautiful!! Chills and goosebumps what a unique voice beautiful love song Kenny Rogers was amazing!! Thank You for sharing this awesome video brighten my day! 😊💓🤘✌️
This performance and Bobby Hatfield from The Righteous Brothers doing "Unchained Melody" 1965 Andy Williams Show are the Greatest Live Male Vocals Of all Time.
I've loved this song every since I fist hear it when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Nobody has played it for me and I don't need to, I just listen to it and it's like Kenny is singing it to me.
Lionel Richie and Kenny were friends And I think I've heard both sing the song. Lionel I think did it around when Kenny died. Lots of great singers of this era from Kenny, to Johnny Cash, Willie and Waylon, Hank Jr, and Don Williams. Country can thank these types that brought more of a beat to what was kinda fizzling out. Few great Kenny songs The Gambler, Ruby Dont Take Your Love To Town, Coward Of The County, Islands In The Stream and Love Will Turn You Around
This was our wedding song, such beautiful lyrics and sung masterfully. A true masterpiece. This year marks our 30th anniversary and this song still pulls the heartstrings 😊 💕
37 years for my wife and I . Me 21 wife 22 1986. They said we were crazy getting married so young . I said were crazy in love and watch us..... Been together since 1982
Dang- I was sure you had done this one already Jamel- I’ve ALWAYS loved it, studio and absolutely this live version! 🙂💜✨ ps. There’s a live where Kenny is onstage talking about the makings of the song- Lionel is in the audience and Kenny has him come onstage and do it duet style- I’m still wondering if I’m in the twilight zone.. I felt positive you’ve done this AND the one with Lionel that I just mentioned- 🤔 AND you’re in the bathroom.. so.😆 NO problem either way.. I just don’t wanna be “losing it..” lol
It's amazing when you watch his body language. It takes so many muscles to hit those high notes. Those shoulders are up there because it takes all you got to hold that note.
Lionel could write. The soul of a romantic poet and an inspired musician. That he wrote this for Kenny shows what an unselfish artist he was. Glad he did because Kenny smashed it.
2 seconds before your video started. He credited Lionel Richie for writing this song. Later years Kenny and Lionel Richie and Kenny sang it together. It was beautiful to see old friends getting together to sing together.
Yeah. As others have said, one of the best ever! And yeah if you can find it, Kenny and Lionel sang this together at least once live and it's awesome! Well worth the search. Thanks for this Jamel!
You can definitely hear Lionel in that song. I remember many years ago, Lionel said he didn't sugar coat his lyrics about women. He said it like it was.
let me tell you something gentlemen. if you want to have a good time with the woman in your life, put this on the stereo, grab her hand and pull her up to slow dance and sing this one to her while dancing slow with her. my late wife loved it when I would sing to her like that. just slow dancing and singing in her ear softly.

Your wife was a lucky woman.
@@jkcliff2956 no , that was me who was the lucky one.
❤❤❤❤
And treat her like a lady, everyday.

Dont forget Marvin Gaye !!! Amen
For the longest time, I didn't know it was written by Lionel. As soon as I learned that, I heard Lionel's voice clearly and wondered how I never realized it. Kenny does a great job with it though.
I saw Kenny a few years ago and he still sounded amazing 😍
One of the first Mr Video reactions I watched was ,I believe a Frank Sinatra song. Towards the end MrVideo says something like "those girls weren't throwing they panties on stage, they just floated off the girl and went back to the panty drawer all on they own". I think that applies here.
You really need to watch the video with Kenny and Lionel singing this together. It is funny and heartwarming.
He already reacted to that
I find it sad...a great duet & yes they have fun with it but Kenny looks so frail 😕
33 years ago this was our first dance at our wedding. Still gives me goosebumps!
Kenny Rogers probably had one of the smoothest voices ever!
Gotta love Kenny’s husky voice for this song as it helps accentuate the lyrics
Even at age 58 I think my ovaries stir at this song! LOL
Lionel is a genius. It's like her could hear Kenny singing it.
He's one of those guys that sounds just as good live as he does on a album.
I was only 8 when this song came out and knew next to nothing about life, love, or relationships, but I knew one thing with absolute certainty.... I wanted THIS song sung to me!!!! Even at 8, this song melted me!
I've seen him in concert twice. He was a wonderful singer and his live performances were incredible.
Always loved when he sung this! That growl on that R&B lyrics makes it pure soul! He sang that like it was personal
Smooth as warm butter on top of hot grits. Kenny had those ladies fawning and screaming like they used to do for Elvis.
When I was growing up in the 80s, I thought Kenny Rogers epitomized cornball music and rolled my eyes at it, but now that I'm older, I've come to appreciate his talent. He has countess great songs over the span of decades. Truly an amazing feat.
Same. Lots of amazing artists from back then i only appreciate now, like Barbra Streisand or Neil Diamond. Kenny’s definitely the man.
Kenny tore it up on that stage, didn’t he…woooo!!!
Every time I hear this it's a special occasion! The first time I heard it was in the car over the radio on a road trip! I've always loved Kenny Rogers!
This is Romance! This is the expression of Love.
Talent. No Autotune
On our first date, my husband, God, rest his soul, played this song for me and we danced. That is one of the best memories I will always treasure.
Lionel Richie wrote it for Kenny at Kenny's request. Lionel was still with The Commodores at that time.
This show also included Kenny with some of the ladies he sang recorded with, like Sheena Easton
sadly the commodores declined the song in 1980
Kenny Rogers was his own genre of music! Great reaction!
That wasn’t an applause at the end, that was the janitors mopping the floor!😂😂😂
Kenny Rogers was one of the greats.....This is truly a song of love.
One of the best live performances he ever did. He’ll be truly missed.
This is a wedding song, obviously. My husband and I were trying to choose between this song and Lionel's "Truly". I think we ended up flipping a coin because it was so hard to choose. It did land on "Truly", but this song is so perfect. Women of ALL ages just swoon when they hear it!
Such a beautiful song, make a woman melt
No one I mean no one can sing this beautiful song the way Kenny did. God bless you rest in heavenly peace 🕊️.
The SILVER FOX !!!
My what a CROONER 🎤
Kenny and Charlie Rich
Thank you Jamel for the fantastic reactions. Kenny was truly an Icon.
Walked down the aisle to Lady in 1989 to marry my knight in shining armor.
Kenny Rogers the man every woman wanted and every guy wanted to be
Same concert...Kenny and Sheena Easten "We got tonight" fantastic.
One of my favorite songs of all time ❤️❤️
👍😎 When singers actually could sing. Haven’t heard that in years ✌️
Jamel whenever i see a reactor do a Kenny Rogers country song i always suggest they check out his 1960 psychedelic roots and no one has yet , please be the first = Kenny Roger and the 1st Edition , the song is = I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In .

I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. ❤❤❤
I'm not a country fan but this song is an exception for me. I used to sing it to my mom when I was a little kid about maybe 8 years old because this was her favorite song from his collection of music.
Kenny sang it!!! You know he had the heart of EVERY woman in that crowd!!! Facts on the Valentines day!!! Thank you for being a great man!!
I always enjoy your reactions! Since you enjoyed this one you should check out Lionel and Kenny singing it together. Magical!

He already did.
Kenny Rogers has such a unique voice. A little bit raspy at times, other times it's as smooth as velvet.
PLEASE CHECK OUT Kenny and Lionel singing Lady together at Lionel 's tribute. Kenny explains how the song was written very funny. This was my first dance at my wedding reception. Also Kenny's concert was our first date.
Was lucky enough to see Kenny love do this song just like the video ! He was awesome
This live version is the best version of this song...whew, gives me chills

This is the very definition of smooth!
I just love this song👍❤❤

Love Kenny and Lionel and the fact that they were such great friends
I'm so glad The Commodores didnt like this song! Its the reason Kenny Rogers got to sing this! I love this song!
I love how he worked that microphone cord!!
RIP Kenny Rogers. He was a G.O.A.T.
I used listen to him a little bit a long time ago. 😁👍🏻
Can this man Kenny Can sing or what. Beautiful song.
Aaaaaw 🥺 My dad introduced me to Kenny Rogers about 35 years ago. I am so grateful for his versatile music education, I miss him soooo much 😢
Outstanding preformance !! Would have loved to be there in the crowed !
I’m with you brother! Kenny is way up there with the man Lionel!! Love it ! Thanks for reminding us what Valentines is all about!❤️
Same concert...Kenny & Sheena Easton "WeGot Tonight" ❤❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼🎼
I agree with you. It’s the type of song that makes you melt like butter.
Kenny had that special way
My mother-in-law loved Kenny and drove from CT to NJ to see him in concert.
Soooo beautiful!! Chills and goosebumps what a unique voice beautiful love song Kenny Rogers was amazing!! Thank You for sharing this awesome video brighten my day! 😊💓🤘✌️

If this doesn't float a woman's boat, nothing will
Beautiful song. Classic performance. Great share
Kenny Rodgers was phenomenal. This song came out when I was a kid. Thank You for the wonderful reaction and fantastic memories ❤😊
This was our wedding song, such beautiful lyrics and sung masterfully. A true masterpiece. This year marks our 30th anniversary and this song still pulls the heartstrings 😊 💕
37 years for my wife and I . Me 21 wife 22 1986. They said we were crazy getting married so young . I said were crazy in love and watch us..... Been together since 1982
Just beautiful!!!!
beautiful song and i have no doubt panties where falling off when he sang this live
Simply beutifull soulful 😊
Dang- I was sure you had done this one already Jamel- I’ve ALWAYS loved it, studio and absolutely this live version! 🙂💜✨ ps.

It's amazing when you watch his body language. It takes so many muscles to hit those high notes. Those shoulders are up there because it takes all you got to hold that note.
Lionel: Here's that song you wanted.
Kenny: I got this, bro.
He is smooth!
Lionel could write. The soul of a romantic poet and an inspired musician. That he wrote this for Kenny shows what an unselfish artist he was. Glad he did because Kenny smashed it.
One of the best love songs he's on country.
Whenever I play this song my honey hubby dances slow and sings this to me. I love this version and if course Lionel's as well ❤️🩹
This song clearly deserves to be preserved by the Smithsonian Museum as it is number one on the Mount Rushmore of love songs.
I got to see him before he passed and was amazing!!!
2 seconds before your video started. He credited Lionel Richie for writing this song. Later years Kenny and Lionel Richie and Kenny sang it together. It was beautiful to see old friends getting together to sing together.
Our first dance with my husband at our wedding.
I was lucky enough to see him perform about 20 years ago. He was fantastic…
I love that song.
I’ve heard this sung by Lionel Richie and Teddy Pendergrass, THIS version is THE BEST!!!❤❤❤
talk about perfection...and soul..."baby makin music"....love it Jamal
In the dictionary, for the definition of smooth is a picture of Kenny Rogers.
Beautiful song!!
Never had it played for me, but I can see why a woman would melt with this one.
Always have loved him. He started out in Rock n Roll....check out a song called "I just checked in to see what condition my condition was in. "
Saw him in concert several years ago, the dude could sang!
Great performance !!
My all time favourite love song.
Yeah. As others have said, one of the best ever! And yeah if you can find it, Kenny and Lionel sang this together at least once live and it's awesome! Well worth the search. Thanks for this Jamel!
So many women fell in love with him right there. lol.
Perfection!!
You can definitely hear Lionel in that song. I remember many years ago, Lionel said he didn't sugar coat his lyrics about women. He said it like it was.
