Saludos a todos, en la última semana de este convulso año 2023, momento propicio para hacer inventario de nuestras vidas, de nuestros logros y también de nuestras caídas, en fin, no me pondré muy filosófica, ya que la idea es que aún con las circunstancias complicadas, aprendamos de lo vivido y estemos felices (que no siempre es fácil, pero se intenta); y nada mejor que la música para sentir emociones positivas, y por eso hoy he regresado a participar en la edición número 135 de la iniciativa Three Tune Tuesday, del amigo @ablaze, y esta vez he traído a un gran cantante: KENNY ROGERS


Greetings to all, in the last week of this turbulent year 2023, a favorable time to take inventory of our lives, our achievements and also our falls, in short, I will not get too philosophical, since the idea is that even with the complicated circumstances, let's learn from what we experienced and be happy (which is not always easy, but we try); and nothing better than music to feel positive emotions, and that is why today I have returned to participate in edition number 135 from the Three Tune Tuesday initiative, from my friend @ablaze, and this time I have brought a great singer: KENNY ROGERS

Aunque lo que más me gusta oír es el rock, el pop y el reggae, también me gusta el country, gusto el cual cultivé en mi infancia y mi adolescencia, y quizás mi primer acercamiento a este género musical ocurrió precisamente gracias a este cantante, al Sr. KENNY ROGERS con su bella cancion “Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town”, la cual oí a finales de los 70 en alguna emisora de la ciudad en la que vivía, y si bien yo era una niña y no entendía de qué iba la letra, igual me cautivó la hermosa voz de este cantante y el ritmo de la canción, toda una joya.

Although what I like to listen to most is rock, pop and reggae, I also like country, a taste which I cultivated in my childhood and adolescence, and perhaps my first introduction to this musical genre occurred precisely thanks to this singer, to Mr. KENNY ROGERS with his beautiful song “Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town”, which I heard at the end of the 70s on a station in the city where I lived, and yes Well, I was a girl and I didn't understand what the lyrics were about, I was still captivated by the beautiful voice of this singer and the rhythm of the song, a real gem.

Luego conocí otras canciones de este cantante, también por las emisoras radiales (A.M.) de mi ciudad. Recuerdo claramente “Lady” una bella canción, y que si bien no es en ritmo country, pues es una balada, al igual que “You Decorated My Life”, y siempre me maravillaba su voz ronca y aterciopelada a la vez, toda una bella rareza. Dicho esto, veamos mis canciones del #ttt de hoy.

Then I heard other songs by this singer, also through the radio stations (A.M.) in my city. I clearly remember “Lady”, a beautiful song, and although it is not in a country rhythm, it is a ballad, like “You Decorated My Life”, and I was always surprised by her hoarse and velvety voice at the same time, a true beauty. rarity. That being said, let's see my songs today #ttt

Ahora vamos con mis canciones / Now let's go with my songs


Como hoy se trata de duetos entre Kenny Rogers y otro cantante, específicamente mujeres cantantes, comenzaré con la espectacular canción escrita por los Bee Gee:" Islands In the Stream", la cual interpreta junto a la estupenda voz de Dolly Parton. Es un deleite total oír esta canción, ya que la voz ronca de Roger contrasta estupendamente con la de Parton, y la melodía es preciosa ¡Vamos a disfrutarla!, en vivo y en estudio, y también les dejo un hermoso video subtitulado en Español.

Since today we are talking about duets between Kenny Rogers and another singer, specifically female singers, I will start with the spectacular song written by the Bee Gee:" Islands In the Stream", which he performs with the wonderful voice by Dolly Parton. It is a total delight to listen to this song, since Roger's husky voice contrasts wonderfully with Parton's, and the melody is beautiful. Let's enjoy it!, live and in the studio, and I also leave you a beautiful video subtitled in Spanish.

Mi siguiente canción es la dulce y a la vez potente balada “We've Got Tonight”, escrita, compuesta e interpretada a principio de los 80 por Bob Seger, la cual tuvo varias versiones posteriormente. Esta canción es de esas que te eriza la piel y te mueve las emociones, por lo que la solía oír mucho en mi adolescencia. En esta interpretación hecha por Kenny Rogers en dúo con la estupenda cantante Sheena Easton, podemos también apreciar el precioso contraste entre la voz de ambos, además, la melodía es sublime. Aquí les dejo el audio.

My next song is the sweet yet powerful ballad “We've Got Tonight”, written, composed and performed in the early 80s by Bob Seger, which had several versions later. This song is one of those that makes your skin crawl and moves your emotions, which is why I used to listen to it a lot when I was a teenager. In this interpretation made by Kenny Rogers in a duet with the wonderful singer Sheena Easton, we can also appreciate the beautiful contrast between their voices, and the melody is sublime. Here I leave the audio.

Y para finalizar mi #ttt de hoy, les traigo otro estupendo dueto de Kenny Rogers junto a la cantante canadiense de música country Anne Murray, interpretando “If I Ever Fall in Love Again”, un balada también hermosa y poderosa, que me recuerda por momentos a las canciones que hacía Peter Cetera luego de su salida de Chicago. Esta canción es del 2005, mientras que las anteriores son de 1980 y 1983, respectivamente, y aún con las décadas de distancia, la voz de Rogers se mantiene hermosa, potente; y esto me comprueba una vez más que la voz nunca envejece, (si la cuidamos). Aquí también les dejo el audio de esta bella canción.


And to finish my #ttt today, I bring you another great duet by Kenny Rogers with the Canadian country music singer Anne Murray, performing “If I Ever Fall in Love Again”, a also beautiful ballad and powerful, which reminds me at times of the songs that Peter Cetera made after his departure from Chicago. This song is from 2005, while the previous ones are from 1980 and 1983, respectively, and even with decades of distance, Rogers' voice remains beautiful, powerful; and this proves to me once again that the voice never ages, (if we take care of it). Here I also leave you the audio of this beautiful song.

A great selection of country tunes. I do like how Kenny Rogers voice is a great contrast to all the duets that you chose. My favorite is of course the song written by the Bee Gees Island in the Stream. They look so great together with Dolly Parton.
