Special: Kenny Rogers tribute

from Famous Lost Words Hosted by Bell Media

In honour of Kenny Rogers, we present this special tribute edition of Famous Lost Words. When Kenny passed away, we immediately searched our interview archives and found some great audio from the early '70s and '80s. Kenny talks about how his biggest hits came about - from the psychedelic sound of "Just Dropped In..." to the controversial hit "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" to the very funny story about "Lucile". Kenny also opens up about dealing with fame, connecting with his audience and enjoying life. In light of his passing, we think these conversations take on an added resonance. Famous Lost Words will return in a few weeks with Season 5.
