The First Edition enjoyed worldwide success, appeared on such popular shows as "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," had featured roles in the TV movie The Dream Makers (1975) and went on to host the syndicated TV variety series Rollin' on the River (1971). By this time, the dark-haired, husky-framed, ear-pierced singer's ingratiating personality and sensual gravel tones, affectionately dubbed "Hippie Kenny," had taken center stage and the group changed their name to "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition" in 1969. Other successes would include "Reuben James" (1969, #26), "Something's Burning" (1970, #11) and "Tell It All Brother" (1970, #17). The First Edition's first Billboard hit, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" (1968) was a psychedelic rock song which peaked at #5, and was followed by the more popular soft-rock hit "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" (1969) which hit #6 on the US charts and made them a star attraction. He subsequently joined the "New Christy Minstrels" 1966 as a singer and double bass/bass guitar player, then splintered off with others from the popular folk music group a year later to form the rock group "The First Edition," an eclectic-styled rock band whose repertoire included rock and roll, R&B, folk and country.

The group recorded the song "Poor Little Doggie," and Kenny, age 19, recorded his first solo song, "That Crazy Feeling," for a small Houston label, Carlton Records, and his career was off and running. Kenny took an early interest in singing and, as a teenager, joined a doo-wop recording group called "The Scholars". Of humble Irish and Native American heritage, the boy grew up in the poorer section of Houston, but would become the first member of his family to graduate from high school. Album DescriptionBorn in Houston, Texas on August 21, 1938, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, actor, record producer and entrepreneur Kenneth Ray Rogers was the fourth of eight children born to a carpenter father who worked in a shipyard and a mother who was a hospital nurse's assistant.

© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo More info Their absence makes Through the Years somewhat less than definitive, yet it's still a fine roundup of his prime hitmaking period. Notably, there is nothing from the First Edition and "Islands in the Stream," his smash duet with Dolly Parton, is nowhere to be found.

In between, there are a bunch of big hits - "Daytime Friends," "Love or Something Like It," "The Gambler," "Coward of the County," "You Decorated My Life," "Lady," "Love Will Turn You Around," plus duets with Kim Carnes, Dottie West, and Sheena Easton - but not all of them. The set begins with "Lucille," his Top Ten breakthrough from 1977, and draws to a conclusion with the 1987 Ronnie Milsap duet "Make No Mistake, She's Mine," adding the 2006 single "I Can't Unlove You" as a coda.
