Kenny rogers through the years lyrics framed

Rogers was the fourth of eight children and is said to be of Irish and Native American heritage.

Kenny Rogers topped the country and pop album charts for more than 200 individual weeks in the United States alone.

Rest in peace, Kenny, and thank you for the music through the years. The song looks back at a relationship “Through The Years” and mentions the ups and downs, but the singer proclaims to his loved one: I’m so glad I stayed right here with you / Through the years. None of the words of this week’s prompt actually appear in the title or lyrics of 1981’s Through the Years, but it was a very special song for us. 😀 He recorded songs that were special to me in every decade after that, especially the 80s when I met and married my late husband. My love for Kenny Rogers goes all the way back to 1967 when he was with the First Edition and had hits like Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) and Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town… and my age was in single digits.

He worked with some of the biggest names in the record industry, charted more than 60 top 40 hit singles (including two number ones- Lady and Islands in the Stream), and sold more than 165 million records. The multi-award winner was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013. His songs appeared in top-selling motion pictures and television movies, including movies based on some of his songs and, in which he starred. In a career which spanned more than sixty years, Kenny moved from teenage rock’n’roll through psychedelic rock to become a hit country-pop crossover artist of the 1970s and 1980s. Kenneth Ray “Kenny” Rogers passed away under hospice care of natural causes.
