Kenny Rogers Lp Discography
It took several tries before Kenny Rogers became a star. As a member of the First Edition (and the New Christy Minstrels before that), he shared in some million-sellers, among them 'Reuben James' and 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town,' an excellent Mel Tillis song about a disabled veteran. But superstardom lay ahead for this Texan, and it arrived in the late '70s. His experience with the two previous pop groups had prepared him well: he knew the easy listening audience was out there, and he supplied them with well-done middle-of-the-road songs with a country flavor. Having gone solo, in 1976 Rogers charted with 'Love Lifted Me.'

Of course, the appeal of Kenny is that it is a schmaltzy, shameless album, perhaps the most schmaltzy and shameless of Rogers' career, but what's endearing about it is that he had yet to sink into the formless adult contemporary that turned his albums after Eyes That See in the Dark into snooze-fests, yet he had sharpened and broadened his.

But it was with an outstanding song by writers Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum, 'Lucille,' that his star shot upward. The rest (as they say) is history: award-winning duets with Dottie West and Dolly Parton, 12 TV specials, another song of the year with 'The Gambler,' 'Daytime Friends,' 'Coward of the County,' 'We've Got Tonight,' 'Crazy,' 'Lady' (his first pop number one), etc., etc., etc.
