Previously unreleased songs recorded by the late nation celebrity Kenny Rogers will probably be on a brand new document popping out in June.
After a profession spanning jazz, rock, nation and pop, the Grammy-winning balladeer nicknamed “The Gambler” died at the age of 81 in 2020. His widow, Wanda Rogers, curated the posthumous record called “Life is Like a Song,” popping out June 2 on UMe.
The recordings have been made between 2008 and 2011 and consists of originals and covers like Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” and “At Last,” made well-known by Etta James, which will probably be on a deluxe model of the document. The album will even embrace two beforehand launched songs, his duet with Dolly Parton, “Tell Me That You Love Me,” and “Goodbye,” written by Lionel Richie, each launched in 2009, however by no means digitally.
The Country Music Hall of Famer had a thriving profession for some 60 years with such hits as “Lucille,” “Lady” and “Islands within the Stream,” a beloved Parton-Rogers duet.
“He would often say that he wanted his songs to be ‘what every man wants to say, and every woman wants to hear,’” Wanda Rogers mentioned in a press launch. “I think there are a lot of those moments on this album. This is a very special record to me and our family because it really tells the story of our life together, and I feel his fans will also relate to it in a big way because it walks the listener through the seasons of life that we all experience in one way or another.”
