The Kenny Rogers Children's Center, which has been providing a variety of services, such as occupational, physical and speech therapy for kids for 40 years, has gotten quite an upgrade.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton are ending the year with their third Grammy nomination. The duo are nominated at the 2014 Grammys for their song 'You Can’t Make Old Friends' and are feeling the excitement as they look toward a potential win.
Kenny Rogers' new album 'You Can't Make Old Friends' is a collection of songs as diverse as this legend's career. No two of the 11 cuts could be placed neatly within the same sub-genre of country music. Intense displays of love, hope, anger and patriotism keep the listener pulled forward to hear what will come next.
Kenny Rogers has been a country music superstar for decades, enjoying the kind of longevity that most artists would sever a limb for. As an icon and a legend in his genre, he doesn't need to resort to pulling publicity stunts like Miley Cyrus, daughter of fellow country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, in order to grab (and hold on to) people's attention. So don't expect him to.
Kenny Rogers has partnered up with his good pal Dolly Parton again for the title track from his new album 'You Can't Make Old Friends.' You can hear a brief yet glorious snippet of their latest duet during a video interview that Rogers conducted, where he describes the song as touching, sad and wonderful!
