Kenny Rogers or Kenneth Donald "Kenny" Rogers - a creative American country music singer, Plus a photographer, producer, lyricist, actor and businessman was born on August 21, 1938, in Houston, Texas He has been very successful with more than 70 hits, possessing a strong influence over various music genres and topping the country and pop album charts for more than 420 individual weeks in the United States alone.

Two of his albums, The Gambler and Kenny are featured in the About.com poll of "The 200 Most Influential Country Albums Ever". He was voted as the "Favorite Singer of All-Time", in a 1986 joint poll by readers of both USA Today and People.

He has received hundreds of awards for both his music and charity work. These include AMAs, Grammys, ACMs and CMAs, as well as a lifetime achievement award for a career spanning six decades in 2003.

Lately, Rogers’ new album release- Water & Bridges, was a major hit across the border, appearing at #5 in the Billboard Country Albums sales charts, also ranking high in the Billboard 200. He recently completed a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, in a 2006 BBC Radio 2 interview to DJ Steve Wright; he mentioned that "The Gambler" is his favorite.

Among Floyd and Lucille’s seven offsprings, Kenneth Roger was the fourth. He graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in Houston. According to the Texas birth records, his middle given name is Ray and he is sometimes credited in his film roles as "Kenneth Ray Rogers." His career began in the mid-1950s, when he recorded with a doo-wop group called The Scholars who had some success with a single called "Poor Little Doggie", but unfortunately, after two more singles they split when their leader went solo.

After the break up – now on his own, Kenneth Rogers made a minor solo hit called "That Crazy Feeling" (1958). After sales slowed down, Rogers joined a jazz group called The Bobby Doyle Trio, who got a lot of work in clubs thanks to a reasonable fan following and also recorded for Columbia records. The group parted in 1965, and a 1966 jazzy rock single Rogers recorded for Mercury, called "Here's That Rainy Day" failed.

In 1966 he joined the New Christy Minstrels. Feeling that the Minstrels were not offering the success they wanted, Rogers left with fellow members Mike Settle, Terry Williams and Thelma Camacho. They formed The First Edition in 1967 (later renamed "Kenny Rogers and The First Edition"). They made a series of hits on both the pop and country charts, including "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town", "Reuben James" and "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." When the group split in 1976, Rogers launched his solo career. Rogers, this time, with a gravel-voiced style caused a chaos in the market, selling massively to both pop and country audiences. Till now, he has charted more than 60 top 40 hit singles and around 50 albums. Movies such as Convoy and Urban Cowboy have featured his music as well.

After that, Rogers signed a contract with United Artists. Although producer Larry Butler had no doubts about Kenny's talent and that he wanted to sign him, he was advised by several colleagues not to sign Rogers, due to his not-much-popular and unstable situations in the past.. Yet, Butler and Rogers began a partnership that would run for four consecutive years.

Love Lifted Me - The album charted and two singles "Love Lifted Me" and "While The Feeling's Good" were minor hits. The song "Runaway Girl" was featured in the motion picture "Trackdown".

Later, Rogers launched his second album, the self-titled Kenny Rogers, whose first single "Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got)", was another solo hit. Though, it was "Lucille" in 1977 that took him to heights of success and glory, reaching Number One in no fewer than 12 countries, selling over five million copies world-wide and pushing the Kenny Rogers album to #1 in the Billboard Country Album Chart. More success was to follow, including the multi-million selling album The Gambler and another international Number 1 single, "Coward of the County", taken from the equally successful album, Kenny. In 1980, the Rogers/Butler partnership came to an end, but was renewed in 1987 on the album I Prefer The Moonlight and again in 1993 on the album If Only My Heart Had A Voice.

In the late 1970s Kenny collaborated with close friend and country singer Dottie West. Together the duo had 3 hit albums, selling out stadiums and arenas while on tour. Their hits together "Every Time Two Fools Collide", "Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight" and "What Are We Doing In Love" became Country standards. Of West, Kenny stated in a 1995 TNN interview "She, more than anybody else I ever worked with sang with such emotion that you actually believed what she sang." Rogers was with West when she died after sustaining injuries in a 1991 car accident. In 1995 he starred opposite Michele Lee in the CBS biopic "Big Dreams and Broken Hearts: The Dottie West Story".

He enjoys worldwide success, and has played many well-attended concerts in Europe and the Far East, where he has charted numerous singles and albums from the 1970s through to the present day. New Zealand was a big stronghold during his First Edition days, being the only country to give them the acclaim they truly deserved. His 1985 greatest-hits package, The Kenny Rogers Story, reached #1 on the British country chart — and four years later (in 1989), was still at #2.

In 1983, Rogers signed to RCA for a record breaking US$20 million advance. Although, following the success of his label debut, the Bee Gees produced Eyes That See In The Dark album. Nonetheless enjoying the same response, he was still among the world's top stars. Between 1983 and 1990, he has made around 23 top 40 singles and 10 top 40 albums.
