As country artists from every era woke up on Saturday morning (March 21) and learned that Kenny Rogers has died, they took to social media to share their fondest memories of the man who influenced so many of the stars who knew him, loved him and treasured him and his music. <\/p>\n

You never know how much you love somebody until they\u2019re gone. I\u2019ve had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend. pic.twitter.com\/hIQLIvt8pr<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t express on twitter the impact Kenny Rogers the artist and the man had on me. He was always very kind and fun to be around. Rest In Peace Gambler\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very sad to learn that @_KennyRogers<\/a> has passed away. Kenny was a friend who helped me in so many ways early on. He was always funny, kind and full of advice. Kenny\u2019s legacy of great music will live on forever. My deepest condolences to Wanda & family. #RIPKennyRogers<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lZo6XI3yma<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, I woke up the news of @_KennyRogers<\/a> passing. It\u2019s not about #1s<\/a>. It\u2019s about the legacy you leave behind and he was a great man. He changed Country Music and had a voice like no other. Thank you Kenny. Thank you. <\/p>\n

Thank you Kenny Rogers for being a part of our lives for so long. Your songs are woven into the fabric of our memories, classics, that will live on in the musical heart of a world that will miss you so much.
Rest in peace Gambler<\/p>\n
