Kenny Rogers was 81. He was the smooth, Grammy-winning balladeer who spanned jazz, folk, country and pop with such hits as "Lucille," "Lady" and "Islands in the Stream" and embraced his persona as "The Gambler" on record and on TV.
I dropped a short and bitter sweet slice of audio on the Toronto MIke'd feed for Kenny. This includes an exclusive episode with my mum, the biggest Kenny Rogers fan I know.
