“There’s peace in where you are, maybe all I need to know… And if I listen to my heart, I’ll hear your laughter once more… And so I have to say I’m just glad you came my way… It’s not easy to say goodbye…” -Lionel Richie In honor of our friend who we miss dearly, Kenny Rogers (August 21, 1938 – March 20, 2020) Footage Edit by @retro8films -Team KR

Kenny often said: “Always be happy where you are. Never be content to be there, but if you’re not happy where you are, you’ll never truly be happy.” We think he had that exactly right. #kennyrogers #wordsofwisdom #lifelessons #kennyisms #behappy #lifeislikeasong #musicheals #throwbackthursday -Team KR
Did you know that Kenny self-produced “Buy Me A Rose”—his big “comeback” #1 hit released in October 1999? When it reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in May 2000, the song made Kenny (who was 61 years old at the time) the oldest country singer to have a Number One hit. #buymearose #kennyrogers #storyteller #valentines #sherideswildhorses #againstallodds #comeback #legend #thegambler -Team KR
Kenny Rogers first starred as Brady Hawkes in “Kenny Rogers As The Gambler” when the TV movie premiered April 8, 1980 on @cbstv … Based on Kenny’s massive #1 hit, written by Don Schlitz, “The Gambler” was a ratings smash and critical success, receiving an Eddie Award and two Emmy nominations, which led to four entertaining sequels. #kennyrogers #thegambler #bradyhawkes #knowwhentoholdem #wildwest #classic #legend #43yearsyoung #timeless #lifelessons #goodguys -Team KR
