Variety: Country Music Icon Kenny Rogers Dies at 81
Vocalist Kenny Rogers, who dominated the pop and country charts in the 1970s and 1980s with a string of sleekly tailored hits and won three Grammys, has died. He was 81. Rogers “passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family,” a representative for the singer said in a statement. Due to the national COVID-19 emergency, the family is planning a small private service at this time with a public memorial planned for a later date.
Remember watching Kenny with the First Edition when he first got started a very unique sound. He really blossomed into a huge country superstar.

I hoping he won the Degenerates thread before he passed?

You finally get to count your chips Kenny.
You played the game well. Thank you.
Four hundred children and a crop in the field...
I will miss Kenny and value what he shared with us during his time.
Kenny Rogers vs. Michael Jordan. Not restaurants; basketball.
Highlights are at the 7-second and 33-second mark. The only OTHER person to keep Jordan under 20 points?
