Syphus Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Actor-singer Kenny Rogers, the smooth, Grammy-winning balladeer who spanned jazz, folk, country and pop with such hits as “Lucille,” “Lady” and “Islands in the Stream” and embraced his persona as “The Gambler” on record and on TV died Friday night. He was 81. One of my favorites was "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" - Rest in Peace Kenny R Syphus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayoubill Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In came on the radio in the mid 60's and was a big hit. I've been a fan ever since and covered many of his tunes. RIP Kenny Rogers! You will be missed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
