Happy birthday to Kenny Rogers, a true icon of American music, a three-time Grammy winner whose voice and career spanned six decades, and touched millions around the world. Before his fame, he performed at The Bitter End on November 8, 1967. Then came his self-titled second album release in 1977 that skyrocketed him to superstardom once the second single “Lucille” became Rogers' first No. 1 hit.
