IMDb

6.8

Career-spanning retrospective look at one of country music's most familiar icons; the gravel-voiced seller of fried chicken himself, Mr. Kenny Rogers. From Rogers' earliest days in showbiz as a member of folk singing group The New Christy Minstrels, through his days as a psychedelic hippie in his band The First Edition to his final rebirth as a be-suited country troubadour, this documentary covers it all. Known to many only for hits such as 'Lucille' 'Coward of the County' and his big duet with Dolly Parton 'Islands in the Stream' there's a lot more to Kenny Rogers, one of country music's most successful solo artists ever. As well as owning a chain or ribs n' chicken shops that give Colonel Sanders a run for his money, he's co-written hits with Lionel Ritchie, The Bee Gees and many more. Concert footage is interspersed with comments from Kenny himself and some industry heavyweights he's worked with over the years.
