Kenny Rogers (born 21 August 1938) is a multi award winning, multi-platinum Country singer-songwriter, actor and record producer hailing from Houston, Texas.
Born Kenneth Donald Rogers, the now legendary country musician had a difficult upbringing, growing up in a housing project in the south, with his six siblings and parents.
Rogers first tried his hand at music in the 1950’s, often taking the role of lead singer in a variety of bands including Rockabilly group The Scholars and folk band The New Christy Minstrels, before forming Kenny Rodgers and The First Edition in 1967. The First Edition was Rogers first taste of success, as the band had a number of chart topping country, pop and hippie influenced psychedelic rock hits that saw them tour the world for the next ten years.
When the band split for various reasons in 1976, Rogers decided to ditch his moderately hippy image, cutting his long hair short and removing his earring, giving himself a more mainstream appeal in a bid to launch his solo career. His first album was reasonably successful but it was his second LP, “Kenny Rogers” that founded his status as a bonafide country star, with single “Lucille” leading the album to over five million sales worldwide.
Rogers didn’t rest on his laurels however, going on to release various collaborative albums with country singer Dottie West and more hit solo material including the album anyone should listen to before a trip to Las Vegas, “The Gambler”.
Kenny Roger’s distinctive traditional country sound and prolific ability to write a hit song are elements of his near unrivalled staying power in the music industry. Since the 1970’s he has recorded 32 studio albums and registered 30 number one singles worldwide, including the international smash hit “Islands In The Stream” which featured fellow country megastar Dolly Parton.
He recently collected the Willie Nelson Lifetime Award and was also inducted into the Country Hall of Fame in 2013 for his contributions to music, which further established his legendary status within the genre and the music industry as a whole.
Live reviews
Like so many of his country contemporaries, Kenny Rogers is a bona fide icon in the United States, where he remains one of the most successful artists amongst a hugely popular genre; the fact that country is largely a niche style elsewhere in the world certainly won’t make much difference to him, either, given that he can fall back on global album sales of in excess of one hundred and sixty five million, and being voted the ‘favourite singer of all time’ by readers of both USA Today and People magaizine in the eighties. His career has now spanned more than half a century, with an apparently endless stream of hits in that time including ‘Islands in the Stream’ ‘We’ve Got Tonight’ and ‘Love Will Turn You Around’. In his native U.S., he continues to play huge amphitheatres on a regular basis, and so powerful is his cult appeal that he manages to play arenas even in countries that aren’t known for their love of country; back in 2009, a rare lap of the UK saw him playing to huge crowds at the likes of Manchester’s MEN Arena and Birmingham’s NIA. Now seventy-five, Rogers shows no real signs of slowing down, continuing to tour and record; don’t be surprised if another major UK jaunt is lined up before too long.

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, there is no denying Kenny Rogers has a universal appeal when it comes to his music. It is clear proof that despite being well into his 70s, he continues to tour globally because fans want to hear his music and he simply loves performing to the adoring masses.
A natural showman with a surpassable amount of talent with a guitar, despite having a discography of over thirty albums he seems to make the best choices to really delight his fanbase. Stood in the summer sunshine, he was easily one of the most relaxed performers at Glastonbury and he seemed to really soak up the vibe of the laid back festival. He showcased his best material and the crowd were receptive throughout applauding and cheering in all the right places. His rapport and jamming ability with the tight backing band demonstrated his skill that is by no means wavering with age. The iconic track 'Islands in the Stream' evokes huge singalong and proves that Rogers is very much one of the icons of Country.
Kenny Rogers is my favorite Singer I'd go see him every day if possible.This was my 4th time seeing you in concert I absolutely loved every minute of it.I was so in Love with Kenny I named my 1st Son Kenneth Michael.Oh yes and my 1st Granddaughter was born on August 21st Kennys Birthday Just wanted to share with you I'm forever grateful for your music I Love Love Love You
Rip kenny rogers, a very loved man rest in peace, i have listened to this man for years now, every single day, and what a voice he has, going to be missed by so many, what a legend

Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers, born August 21, 1938 in Houston, Texas, is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. Even though most people recognize him for his success in the country music industry, Rogers boasts more than 120 hit singles across a range of genres, such as pop and rock. After joining several bands over 20 years, he finally decided to go solo in 1976. His single, “Lucille,” hit #1 on the pop charts in 12 countries and sold well over 5 million copies and thus began his successful career as a solo artist.
Two of his albums were featured on About.com as one of the 200 most influential country albums of all time. He was also voted the “Favorite Singer of All Time” in 1986 by People and USA Today readers. He has received numerous awards including ACMs, CMAs, AMAs and Grammys. He also received a lifetime achievement award in 2003 for a career spanning six decades.
