I just woke up and read about Kenny Rogers. When I was younger he was one of my mom's favorites.

I remember seeing him for the first time on his variety show Rollin' on the River back in the early '70s, as well as an old commercial from around that time that featured his testimonial for a guitar instructional program. Of course, by the time Lucille and Coward of the County were hits, I was a fan (though Lady is still dreck ).
RIP
Always liked him, but my favorite role of his was from Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.
RIP
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

My Mom was so sad when she heard about Kenny Rogers. We both enjoyed his talent.

Loved his duets with Dolly Parton.
We are sure losing a lot of people in entertainment and related fields lately.
We have lost a giant: Albert Uderzo. Together with René Goscinny he created Asterix.

And another legend: Cameroonian jazz legend Manu Dibango died, actually of Covid-19.
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe

Harlem Globetrotter Fred "Curly" Neal passed away at 77.

Every day is a gift, not a given right.
I remember seeing him in a couple of games along with Meadowlark Lemon. I think years ago they sometimes showed them on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Great athlete and a great entertainer
