The world has lost a great singer.

Kenny Rogers passed away Friday of natural causes. He was 81. His career spanned many decades and had many hits like “Lady” and “Island in the Stream” a duet with Dolly Parton. He also did movies such as “Coward of The County”, “The Gambler” which had hit songs he sang. He was talented and had one of most most iconic voices ever. When he sang his songs it was poetry in music. RIP Mr. Rogers, you will be missed.
