Today would have been "The Gambler's" birthday. Hard to believe he's been gone 6 years now.
The late, great Kenny Rogers was born in Houston, Texas, on this day in 1938, and was given the name Kenneth Donald Ray Rogers.
Kenny went on to become one of the world's most successful singers, known as the voice behind a mix of rock, pop, and country hits such as "Just Dropped In," "The Gambler," "Lady," and "Islands in the Stream."
Kenny was 81 years old when he passed away on March 20, 2020. He would have turned 88 today...
