I think we all can relate right now to taking the time to focus on the people and small, daily moments that really matter; the ones that make your home, at the core, the most important thing in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of this moment, however, Owen was one of many country artists who paid tribute to the late Kenny Rogers. Even with much of the world\u2019s population in self-quarantine against the spread of the coronavirus, the news that Rogers had died unleashed a tsunami of grief and fond memories.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MGhK2dWtsn8?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MGhK2dWtsn8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p>In an era so awards-saturated we can\u2019t recall who the current entertainers of the year are, Rogers was an entertainer for all time. He was an always-on-target song stylist and one of the best storytellers in the business. His burred voice seem to engrave songs on your memory, and he sure knew how to pick the best songs.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers first dented the country singles charts in 1969 with Mel Tillis\u2019 \u201cRuby, Don\u2019t Take Your Love to Town.\u201d There, it made it only to No. 39 (maybe because country\u2019s conservative audience didn\u2019t like the derisive reference to \u201cthat old crazy Asian war\u201d), but the anthem was a No. 6 pop hit. Country finally claimed Rogers as one of its own in 1977 when \u201cLucille\u201d soared to No. 1, earned Rogers a Grammy and won the CMA\u2019s single of the year prize.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wvr5Z0NsDm8?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wvr5Z0NsDm8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p>After that, the No. 1s just kept coming: \u201cDaytime Friends,\u201d \u201cEvery Time Two Fools Collide\u201d (with Dottie West), \u201cLove or Something Like It,\u201d \u201cThe Gambler\u201d (and two more Grammys), \u201cShe Believes in Me,\u201d \u201cYou Decorated My Life,\u201d \u201cCoward of the County\u201d (wasn\u2019t he great with story songs?), \u201cLady\u201d and on and on and on. <\/p>\n<p>He last scored a No. 1 in 1999 with \u201cBuy Me a Rose\u201d with Billy Dean and Alison Krauss.
