I met him several times when I was a kid because he was a regular at a local place. He was nice, as I remember.
I remember listening to that on my AM radio back in the day. Didn't remember it was Kenny tho. RIP
Back in 1998 or so I was driving down a desert highway somewhere in New Mexico. I got behind a nice RV with “The Gambler’s Roost” written on the back in a fancy custom paint job. When I passed it I looked over and a smiling Kenny Rogers was driving the RV. He flashed me a smile and we exchanged a hearty wave.
Very distinctive voice, what a nice career Mr. Rogers enjoyed. RIP Kenny..
"The Gambler, he broke even" - RIP. A wonderful voice, so many songs.
