Kenny Rogers nació el 21 de agosto de 1938 en Houston, Texas. Este cantante country creció en uno de los sectores más pobres de la ciudad. Su padre, John Rogers, quería que compusiera dos canciones desde que era niño, como las de "The coward of the county" "Ruby don't take your love to town", empezando su carrera artística. Tuvo la influencia de varios músicos de la música country y soul, tales como Nat King Cole, Charlie Daniels, Arthur Alexander y Chuck Berry.
