R.I.P. Kenny Rogers.

Post by Bannerman65 »

Kenny Rogers passed away, 5 days ago, on the 20th March 2020. A true legend, both in country music, and in popular music. I'm already feeling the loss, despite not knowing him personally. A link to a Wikipedia article, below.

RIP Kenny Rogers. My mum used to listen to his songs and I particularly liked 'Coward of the County'.

My folks tastes were very much country so I'm familiar with him and his songs apart from hearing them on the radio and recall Terry Wogan's re-write of Lucille which had me in stitches in my teens. R.I.P. Kenny.
