Description

De zangcarrière van Kenny Rogers begint in 1956, wanneer hij zich op 17-jarige leeftijd aansluit bij de lokale rockband 'The Scholars'. In 1968 verandert de band haar naam in 'Kenny Rogers and The First Edition'. Na het uiteenvallen van 'Kenny Rogers and The First Edition' in 1975 besluit Rogers om een solo-carrière te beginnen. Van meet af aan richt hij zich op de countrymuziek. Rogers bouwt zijn succes uit zijn twee nr 1-hits Islands in the Stream (met Dolly Parton) en Lady. De componist van Lady is Lionel Richie die in 1980 deze nummer één hit schreef voor Kenny Rogers. • Lady is a song made famous by American country and pop music singer Kenny Rogers. The song was written and produced by Lionel Richie, and ranks among Rogers' biggest hits. Recorded in 1980, Rogers once told an interviewer, ‘The idea was that Lionel would come from R&B and I'd come from country, and we'd meet somewhere in pop.’ The success of Lady also proved instrumental to Richie's career. The production work on the song was his first outside the Commodores and foreshadowed his success as a solo act during the 1980s. Lady, I’m your knight in shining armor and I love you You have made me what I am and I am yours My love, there’s so many ways I want to say I love you Let me hold you in my arms forever more
