Sad to hear that.

I remember his restaurant chain "Kenny Rodgers Roasters", they had the best chicken.

I was never a fan of his music, but as he was around for my entire life, I will miss him.

I had no idea Rogers had sung that iconic song for one of the funniest comedies of all time!

Obviously he didn't sing it "for the movie".

[ dope slap]

The producers of the movie used the pre existing hit oldy in their soundtrack decades after he (with his band The First Edition) recorded it.

I didn't know he was still alive.

But at least he lived to old age and died of natural causes, which is a real achievement in this world right now.
