I Just Dropped In

[Rogue]

to see what condition my condition was in.

Is this the same Kenny Rogers that did Coward of the County, The Gambler, and Dolly Parton?

[olevetonahill]

Yup

[olevetonahill]

Theres a Vid of him doing that song
Ive posted it a lot

[Rogue]

I want to make up a word here...Zevon-esque. Nope, that looks too ghey. I'll never use that word. But this song does NOT fit with the other Kenny Rogers stuff I know. I had no idea it was him until tonight. And I'm still not sure I believe it. I think the googler, the innerwebs, and the whole damn universe must be playing some lame joke on me about this meaningless piece of music trivia.

And now i want to watch The Big Lebowski. Thanks.

Its Him believe Me
His early music was nothing like what he evolved in to

[Crucifax Autumn]

He actually did like 2 full albums of the psychadelic stuff in the late 60s. Pretty much cashing in on the movement I guess.

The group was The First Edition. Guy who wrote most of their music and played guitar and back up vocals was Mike Settle from Muskogee.

Started out with the group "The First Edition", they had about 4 hits, including "Just Dropped In", and then he subsequently, much later, became the Kenny Rogers that Will Sasso did such an ongoing hilarious impression of, on mad TV for several yrs.

off the top of the bean, "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town; But You Know i Love You; and Somethin's Burning."Those were their biggies, 1968-69ish

[Crucifax Autumn]

Yeah, I knew the time frame, but actually thought this was the only one that got any real play. I'll have to check it out just for fun.

Thanks.

Those other songs are very much less psychedelic rock than "I Just Dropped In"

No sheet! "Dropped In" was their only tripped-out song i know of, but I don't really know their music, other than those 4 hits thay had.

[Crucifax Autumn]

The other ones are more of a folksy flower power kinda thing. Like Crosby, Stills, and Nash with a country slant.

You give them more credit than I would, although I liked all 4 of their hits pretty well. (I like Will Sasso's Kenny better than anything Kenny ever did)
