Known for instantly identifiable sweetly raspy vocals and an extraordinary ability to vividly inhabit each song he performs, country icon Kenny Rogers has sold more than 120 million records worldwide and recorded more than 65 albums during his storied career. His long list of timeless classics includes an impressive 24 #1 hits and he is the RIAA's 8th best selling male artist of all time with 1 Diamond album, 19 Platinum albums and 31 Gold albums.
Over 35 million albums sold and still going strong, Kenny Rogers' loosely based 1978 concept album, The Gambler, was a huge pop crossover success, topping Billboard's Country Albums chart at #1 and reaching #12 on the Billboard 200. The album's smash hit ballad, "She Believes In Me," topped Billboard's Country and Adult Contemporary Singles charts and peaked at #5 on the Hot 100. The album's title track won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song. Mastered for vinyl by Ron McMaster at Capitol Mastering and packaged in true-to-original LP sleeves with restored artwork.
