Bijografija

Familja

Kenny Rogers huwa r-raba’ minn seba’ tfal imwielda minn Floyd Rogers u martu Lucille, mastrudaxxa u infermiera, rispettivament. Skont ir-rekords tat-twelid tal-istat ta’ Texas, it-tieni isem tiegħu huwa Ray, u fil-fatt xi kultant jingħata l-kreditu bħala "Kenneth Ray Rogers" fil-krediti tal-film^[1].

Karriera

Il-karriera tiegħu bdiet fis-snin ħamsin meta Kenny Rogers irreġistra diversi kanzunetti mal-grupp doo-wop The Scholars. Ma kienx il-kantant ewlieni, u l-grupp xtered wara żewġ singles meta l-kantant ewlieni ddeċieda li jsegwi karriera solo^[2].

Waħdu, Kenny Rogers ħareġ is-single tiegħu stess, "That Crazy Feeling" (1958), li kiseb suċċess modest. Imbagħad ingħaqad ma' The Bobby Doyle Trio, grupp tal-jazz li miegħu daqq fi klabbs u rreġistra għal Columbia Records. Il-grupp xtered fl-1965; is-sena ta' wara, Rogers irreġistra single tal-jazz għal Mercury Records, li ma rnexxiex. Rogers ħadem bħala produttur, kittieb tal-kanzunetti, u mużiċist għal artisti oħra, inklużi l-kantanti country Mickey Gilley u Eddy Arnold. Fl-1966, ingħaqad man-New Christy Minstrels bħala kantant u bassist.

Billi ma sabx is-suċċess tal-grupp kif jogħġobh, Kenny Rogers telaq, u ħa miegħu tliet membri oħra: Mike Settle, Terry Williams, u Thelma Camacho. Flimkien, iffurmaw First Edition fl-1967, li sar Kenny Rogers u The First Edition, u ġabru suċċessi fuq iċ-charts tal-mużika pop u country b'kanzunetti bħal "Somethings Burning," "Ruby," "Don't Take Your Love to Town," "Reuben James," u "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Aktar tard imlaqqam "Hippie Kenny," Rogers libes l-elementi kollha tad-dehra hippie: xagħar kannella twil, imsielet, u nuċċalijiet tax-xemx roża. L-istil vokali ta' Rogers kien ħafna aktar artab f'dan iż-żmien milli kien se jsir aktar tard^[3].

Meta l-grupp infirex fl-1976, Kenny Rogers nieda l-karriera solo tiegħu. Il-kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu malajr saru aktar raffinati, kantati b'vuċi xi kultant raspy iżda dejjem melodika li appellat kemm lill-udjenzi tal-pop kif ukoll lill-fannijiet tal-country. Aktar minn 60 kanzunetta rreġistrati minn Kenny Rogers laħqu l-aqwa 40 taċ-charts tal-Istati Uniti (25 minnhom laħqu n-numru 1), u 50 mill-albums tiegħu daħlu fil-klassifiki. Il-kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu ntużaw ukoll f'bosta soundtracks ta' films, inklużi Convoy, Urban Cowboy, u The Big Lebowski.

Maħruġ f'Novembru 1978, l-album *The Gambler* biegħ bejn 30 u 35 miljun kopja, li jirrappreżentaw kwart tal-bejgħ totali tal-album tiegħu.

Kenneth Rogers kanta wkoll fil-kanzunetta famuża "We Are the World.^[4]"

Fl-1980, irreġistra dak li jibqa' wieħed mill-akbar suċċessi tal-karriera tiegħu: "Lady^[5]."

Miet fl-20 ta' Marzu 2020, f'daru f'Sandy Springs, Georgia, minn kawżi naturali, u ndifen fiċ-Ċimiterju ta' Oakland f'Atlanta^[6].
