Not for nothing Platinum Album ...

The late seventies Kenny Rogers succeeded a massive hit "The Gambler", which comes from the feathers of the Country songwriter Don slot. Kenny Rogers promised in 1979 that he again wants to publish a Don slot song in 20 years, whatever is going to happen. And he kept his promise: In 1999, he presented the simple country song "The Greatest", the space 28 on the country charts reached. In the song, it is not primarily about baseball, but "to life from the perspective of a little boy," said Rogers. A beautiful country song, the thought-provoking and optimism.
In the 90s many reckoned Kenny Rogers' from the music industry, because the last number-one success was long zrück. But Kenny Rogers showed the world again, that is by no means the end! The single "Buy Me A Rose" is not only perhaps one of the finest country ballads, but quickly became the time being the last number one hit. At the time Kenny Rogers was the oldest singer with a number-one hit. Perhaps it is the backing vocalist Billy Dean and Alison Krauss that make this song so enchanting.
Essential Country Songs are also the songs "Slow Dance More", "She Rides Wild Horses" and "Love Do not Live Here Anymore". The album is in my ways a masterpiece and not for nothing that an album which reached Platinum status.
