Mom loved Kenny as I was a kid. (Probably still does.) And I have a great affinity for many of his classics.

And then, there is his plastic surgery, and his acting career.

See if you can figure out which one is the real Kenny Rogers:Kenny rogers.jpg

Is it me, or is there even the slightest chance Kenny has starred in a few more movies than just 'The Gambler' ??!!!

I remember early on seeing the group "Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition". they were a great little band. He always wore dark rose colored glasses, because his eyes twitch rapidly from left to right. The glasses did not stop the condition, but concealed it from the audience. There is a very rotund actor today in quite a few shows, who has the same condition, and does not conceal his eyes. Very noticeable....Yes, Rodgers was in quite a few movies, at least one about old time stock car races.

In the First Edition days they did a song suite (I had it on 8-track) called "The Ballad Of Calico", about a western mining town that went from thriving to ghost town. It was quite good, as I recall. It had some excellent songs and portrayed the history pretty well through little vignettes.

I may have to see if I can find it on CD.

Rogers' eye lift was a disaster.

He's a fine, published photographer. Some of his black-and-white nature shots are very good indeed.

Maybe he should "just drop in to see what condition his condition is in".

Thanks! I hadn't thought about it for a long time, much less looked for it.

I always imagined Kenny was much shorter than Bigfoot; maybe I was wrong all these years???!!
