We are thrilled to announce the June 2nd arrival (via UMe) of a moving new Kenny Rogers album: LIFE IS LIKE A SONG, featuring eight unreleased recordings and two coveted rarities from the KR vault! Kenny shares wisdom on life, love, family and loss in this specially curated collection of music by Kenny’s widow, Wanda Rogers, showcasing amazing never-before-heard music from the one and only Kenny Rogers. The album is being released in memory of Kenny to honor him and his musical legacy. The project marks the first new non-Christmas studio album by Rogers in 10 years and the only non-compilation/non-reissued full-length album to be released on vinyl since 1991. Pre-order LIFE IS LIKE A SONG now at the link in bio! -Team KR
Happy Birthday, @lionelrichie !! This week in 1981, Kenny Rogers released his #1 album SHARE YOUR LOVE, produced by Lionel. A follow up to the worldwide smash “Lady” (also written & produced by Lionel), the album featured three #1 hits: “I Don’t Need You,” “Share Your Love With Me” & “Through The Years” + “Blaze Of Glory” (Top 10). Background vocalists on the album included Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Kin Vassy & Terry Williams. Lionel contributed several songs as a songwriter, and KR served as mixing engineer. Who loves this record? -Team KR
Kenny always welcomed a big challenge. In fact, he relished pushing himself and trying something new. Think about his career and truly how remarkable it was. He is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He would be the last to tell you that because he was a very modest guy, but how many artists have been able to sing doo-wop, jazz, folk, psychedelia, rock, country-rock, country, pop, adult contemporary, southern rock, yacht rock, soul, R&B, Gospel, Christian, bluegrass, big band and on and on—not to mention some of the best duets ever recorded / performed—at such a high level and with so much success? He was so talented, versatile, and resilient. -Team KR
Time flies! 1 year ago we released LIFE IS LIKE A SONG w/ @umgcatalog featuring never-before-heard songs from Kenny’s vault to honor the memory of our dear friend. It was an honor of a lifetime to work on this album, and we were absolutely thrilled with how it turned out because we know Kenny would have been so proud! Have you heard it? What are your favorite tracks? -Team KR
