"He was 81. Rogers 'passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family,' a representative for the singer said in a statement."
"That song says the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. Maybe, I don’t know. But I do know this: The best any songwriter could hope for was to have Kenny Rogers sing one of your songs. I am forever grateful."
The Grand Ole Opry tonight was live streamed on YouTube without the usual audience and it featured a trio of probably three of the best guitarists in country music:
Marty Stuart
Vince Gill
and Brad Paisley
They did an homage to Kenny that nearly brought tears to my eyes.
As a tribute to Kenny Rogers, a British musician (name: Fil, Norwegian spelling) did an analysis video of Islands in the Stream (1983 duet with Dolly Parton). He has amazing analysis videos if you are looking for something to do in the age of Corona. I learned a lot of some of my favorite performers from watching his videos.
