4 out of 5 stars Not the original, but I still love it!.......2007-03-15

Well, I was disappointed to find out when I received this CD that it wasn't a rerelease of the original album. I saw the title and purchased it without looking at the song contents. OH well, it is still a great album, just not what I was looking for, but I will keep it as I love Dottie West! I hope they eventually do a rerelease of the original album, cause when they do I will buy it...but until then I will make sure to view song contents from now on so I don't do this again!

1 out of 5 stars A Few Fallen Stars.......2007-01-24

With all due respect to the dearly departed Dottie West, and the still livin' Kenny Rogers, this album is in my opinion deserves only 1 star if that. If you like remakes of Anne Murray- with YOU NEEDED ME, and (HEY WON'T YOU PLAY) ANOTHER SOMEBODY DONE SOMEBODY WRONG SONG- from BJ Thomas, to LET IT BE ME- The Everly Bros. The Righteous Bros, and Buck Owens, then you will enjoy this CD. With BREAD'S - BABY I'M A WANT YOU- the only person in my book that has ever done that song any justice is Charly McClain off her 1979 ALONE TOO LONG Lp. Dottie West and Kenny Rogers are good in any respect.. but not here in this Lp. This LP is a few fallen stars of a good hit.

5 out of 5 stars Classic '70's hits.......2006-02-02

This is a great collection of duets by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, a duo who were hugely popular in the late-70s, both as solo singers and together. This album features their three Number 1 hits, "Everytime two fools collide", "All I ever need is you" and "What are we doing in love". Also featured is their top 5 "Anyone who isn't me tonight" and another popular cut "'Til I can make it on my own". Country fans will be familiar with most of the material here, a lot of pop fans too.
My favorite cut has to be "Let it be me", both singers are at their best on this performance, and it would have been great to use this as the closing track, but een so, this collection is great.

In the 1990's EMI issued a 20 track collection of duets by Kenny and Dottie in the UK which contained both of their studio albums from 1978 and 1979, and ultimately 9 of the 10 cuts here (plus 11 others) however, that is long out of print. The only "extra" you get here is "What are we doing in love", as it didn't appear on either album, but was a single release from 1981.

This CD, however, is cheaply priced, but the music is gourmet.

5 out of 5 stars Budget compilation of original recordings.......2005-08-01

It seems that some customers have been misled by the title, which corresponds to that of the first duets album recorded together by Kenny and Dottie. Although this is not a re-issue of that original album, these are definitely their original recordings. Most of the tracks here are actually taken from their second duets album, Classics, which consisted mainly of covers of famous songs.

So here you get the two big hits from their first duets album (Every time two fools collide, Anyone who isn't me tonight), their last duet hit (What are we doing in love), which didn't appear on either of their two duet albums - it came later - and covers of You needed me, All I ever need is you, Hey won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song, Let it be me, Till I can make it on my own and You've lost that loving feeling. Some of these covers were big hits for Kenny and Dottie.

Though the packaging is modest without liner notes or credits (this is a budget collection), this collection provides a good sample of the duets that Kenny and Dottie recorded together. Many of these tracks (and some not included here) can be found tucked away in solo compilations by Kenny and Dottie but this provides a rare opportunity to hear their duets as a collection. It'll do until a more complete collection is released - especially at the price.

1 out of 5 stars NOT THE ORIGINAL..........2003-12-05

As much as I love the music of Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, this is NOT THE ORIGINAL album that was released in 1978 under the same title. The original album featured a beige background, with Dottie leaning up on Kenny's shoulder. This is deliberate deception on the part of EMI to make you think you are getting the original album, when in fact, what you are really getting is a compilation of the first album (Every Time Two Fools Collide) from 1978 and their second one, "Classics", from 1979. I don't understand why these companies continue to do this. The same goes for the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton "Once Upon a Christmas" album. Most of Kenny's solo songs have been omitted entirely, replaced with a Dolly Parton song (Hard Candy Christmas) which wasn't even part of the original LP release in 1984! What's going on? This is precisely the reason I hang on to my old 8-tracks and vinyl LP's, as tired and wore out as they may be. Now, getting back on track here, the ORIGINAL "Every Time Two Fools Collide" album contained these tracks in the following order:

1. Every Time Two Fools Collide
2. You And Me
3. What's Wrong With Us Today
4. Beautiful Lies
5. That's The Way It Could Have Been
6. Why Don't We Go Somewhere And Love
7. Baby I'm A Want You
8. Anyone Who Isn't Me Tonight
9. The Loving Gift
10 We Love Each Other.

That's the way I remember it folks, and that's the way it should have been re-issued. I'm sorry, but either release the original album in its entirety without butchering it up or omitting songs, or just don't even bother. I'm tired of wasting my time and money on deceptive and sly business practices from the music industry.

5 out of 5 stars A very cheap way to get Kenny's hits........2006-01-29

This CD is great and features ten hit songs by Kenny Rogers. It is a cheapy and very good value, but for those of you looking for more, you might like to know that Kenny's newest collection "21 Number Ones" contains all the songs here and many others.

4 out of 5 stars 10 great songs........2004-03-02

"Kenny Rogers" is one of the greats from the classic country era. This is half the collection "20 Greatest Hits" is, but for the price it's good. Plus it still has most of his best songs. Included here is "She Believes In Me", "Lady", "Coward Of The County", and his biggest hit "The Gambler". It also has a few nice duets. Overall it's a nice simple collection for the casual fan. If you need more than this, pick up one of his other fifteen best of's.

4 out of 5 stars The Best of Kenny Rogers.......2000-06-26

This CD has some of Kenny Rogers' best and most popular songs. These are definitely "sing along" songs! The first time I heard the CD, I had to buy it.

5 out of 5 stars The Gambler........2000-06-21

Kenny Rogers Is One Of The Best Singers In Country Music. His Best Song To Date "The Gambler" Went Straight To Number 1 On The Country Music Charts And It Became His Song Of The 20th Century. My Favorite Out Of Them All Would Have To Be "Coward Of The County". Those 2 Are Classic Kenny Rogers Songs. Plus He Has 2 Duet Songs With Kim Carnes And Dottie West. This Is True Classic Kenny.

4 out of 5 stars Good Value.......2000-06-20

If your looking for an inexpensive Kenny Rogers CD with some of his better known songs, this CD will do the trick. It's not great compilation but does include the gambler and coward of the county.

3 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- All too brief an introduction.......2004-04-09

Given the length and breadth of Rogers' career, it's impossible to provide even a basic introduction in only 12 tracks. This collection is a mere taste of Rogers' musical successes, drawn from across a career that spanned early hits with The First Edition, breakout solo signatures like "Lucille" and "The Gambler," and latter-day successes such as the early 90s chart-topper, "Crazy in Love." Hip-O, a division of Universal Music, has pulled together tracks recorded originally for MCA, Capitol Nashville, and Reprise, representing a broad sweep of Rogers' work.

Oddly, the album presents the tracks in reverse chronological order, starting with "Crazy in Love," progressing through Rogers' solo hits, and finishing with the early chart successes of The First Edition. What's here is great - especially less radio-familiar tunes like "Tell it All Brother" and "Ruben James." The neo-psychedelia of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" is a real kick, mixing the druggy production sounds of late-60s San Francisco with the chipper singing of The New Christy Minstrels.

Those who like this dozen tracks will quickly want to find songs like "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer," "Coward of the County," "Islands in the Stream" and many more. As a budget priced entry, this is a quick and inexpensive way to pick up some of Rogers' greatest hits, but it's bound to leave you wanting more.

3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

5 out of 5 stars An outstanding compilation of Kenny's music.......2005-08-27

This is not the definitive hits collection (if that's what you're looking for, compare this with 42 ultimate hits) but it contains most of Kenny's classic solo recordings recorded between 1976 and 1983 while also including a nice selection of solo covers and duets with Sheena Easton (We've got tonight), Kim Carnes (Don't fall in love with a dreamer) and seven duets with Dottie West. I originally discovered Dottie's music because of her duets with Kenny and soon discovered that her solo recordings are every bit as brilliant as these duets.

Taking the classic solo recordings first, the compilation opens withy Kenny's two UK number one country hits - Lucille and Coward of the county, both of which also made the top five in the American pop charts. Apart from Tennessee Ernie Ford (whose hits pre-dated the birth of rock'n'roll), Kenny is the only country singer (so far) to have two UK number one hits. Even Jim Reeves (the only country singer ever to be a consistent hit-maker in the UK) only managed one UK number one (Distant drums) and that was a posthumous hit.

Kenny's biggest American hit (Lady) spent several weeks at number one there but stalled outside the UK top ten. Being written and produced by Lionel Richie, it deserved to do a lot better but perhaps it wasn't the type of record that the UK pop buyers of the day liked. Other notable American hits include Sweet music man, All my life, Love the world away, She believes in me, You decorated my life, Blaze of glory (which would sound ever better as the closing track), Love will turn you around, I don't need you, Scarlet fever, Share your love with me. Love or something like it and Through the years. Notable by their absence are Love lifted me, Daytime friends and The gambler, but all those songs are easy to find elsewhere - if you must have them, buy a different compilation. The collection also includes re-recordings of Ruby don't take your love to town (a UK number two hit in 1969) and Reuben James, both of which Kenny originally recorded as lead singer of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. The surprise here is that Something's burning is omitted - the original version was a UK top ten hit.

My first Kenny Rogers album was his untitled 1977 album. It is also the most traditional country album that Kenny ever recorded. The compiler of this collection clearly enjoys that album as much as I do because it is generously represented here. Apart from Lucille (the big hit from the album), you'll also find Son of Hickory Holler's tramp (a cover of O C Smith's sixties hit), Green green grass of home (another sixties cover), Lay down beside me (a Don Williams song although Kenny recorded it first), Putting in overtime at home (a cover of a Charlie Rich country hit), Laura what's he got that I ain't got (a minor country hit for Kenny that rarely turns up on Kenny's compilations) and I wasn't man enough (possibly making its debut on a compilation). With that many songs selected, it's a pity that neither Mother country music (my favorite track from the album apart from Lucille) nor While I play the fiddle (another great song that rarely appears on compilations) were among them.

The duets with Dottie are Every time two fools collide (a song that Dottie was planning to record solo until Kenny turned up at the recording session) and covers of All I ever need in you, We love each other, Together again, Let it be me, Just the way you are and You've lost that loving feeling. Notable by their absence are Anyone who isn't me tonight and Till I can make it on my own.

While there are some obvious omissions, there are plenty of less-frequently heard songs that are well worth hearing. Apart from those already mentioned, here you can find You were a good friend, Long arm of the law, While the feeling's good, Twentieth century fool and A love song.

As an introduction to Kenny's music, this is brilliant but even if you've got some of his music already, you may decide to buy this for the songs you haven't got.

Even though this is only 10 tracks, it's a pretty good collection. It's not as sweet as "20 Greatest Hits", but for the price it's great. Most of his biggest songs are on here, like "Lady", "Lucille", "Coward Of The County", and the huge "Gambler". Plus a few nice duets. Overall a nice set for the casual fan. If you need more, check out any of his other fifteen collections.

5 out of 5 stars Great Love songs performed by Kenny Rogers. Highly recommended........2006-10-13

First I just want to say that I'm a big fan of Kenny Rogers so I might be biased but I'll try to be objective.

Many songs in this 3 CDs are not Kenny Rogers original songs, but still very good love songs (and many actually are better than his original songs. Sorry Kenny.). I enjoyed the love songs that he performed in this album. Love is a many splendored things, You send me, Misty, I only have eyes for you, it had to be you etc.. are all very classic songs and timeless... and Kenny performed it just fine.. just make sure you try it out (the samples given by amazon) before buying...

This CD is also sells at a bargain. Just get it and I think you will like it.

For Kenny Roger's new fan, check out "21 Number Ones" album (this CD), "the greatest hit" album and the "Kenny Rogers live by request". Also check the new CD Water and Bridges. The song "I can't unlove you" is a hit.

Here are some of my all time Kenny Rogers favorite songs (almost all of them available in the "21 Number Ones" album. I call this list, Kenny Rogers essential:

The Gambler
Through The Years
Lady
Lucille
Coward of The County
We've Got Tonight (with Sheena Easton)
Crazy
Islands In The Stream (with Dolly Parton)
She Believes In Me
You Decorated My Life
Make No Mistake, She's Mine (with Ronnie Milsap)
Daytime Friends
Love Or Something Like It
Love Will Turn You Around
Morning Desire
The Factory
Twenty years ago
Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (with Kim Carnes)
Ruby, Don't take your love to town
Buried treasure
I don't call him daddy
She's ready for someone to love her

--------------------------------------------------
Updated Dec 15th:
I went to see Kenny Rogers live recently (his greatest hits and chrismas song concert.) I had a blast, simply amazing. I recommend all Kenny Rogers fans to visit his concert Live at least once. (We never know how many more years he will do his tour but I do hope for many more years to come)

5 out of 5 stars King of the love songs.......2003-10-27

Over the years, whilst recording many different types of music, Kenny Rogers has probably recorded more love songs than anything else. This CD (or 3 cd's it should be said!) is a good example and shows why he has been dubbed as "King of love songs" and "King of MOR". Here Kenny mixes some of his own hit's "She Believes in me", "Through the years", "Lady" and "You decorated my life" (all #1 chart hits and all wonderful love songs) with many covers of other standards such as "I only have eyes for you", "You light up my life", "The wind beneath my wings", "Unforgettable", "Have I told you lately" and so many more wonderful songs. This CD originally called "Vote for love" was available as a TV album on one of the major TV channels in the USA (either CBS or NBC i think) and was a huge success. Now available at a low price of $15 (that's less than $6-50 a CD in this box set, including postage) it is a bargain for any true fan of love songs. Enjoy as one of the all-time greatest singers brings a collection of 30 of the greatest love songs of all-time!

5 out of 5 stars For all but mostly Marty.......2003-05-01

FYI: "Lady" was a big hit for Kenny Rogers! I mean really big.

I think that he is the greatest country singer of all times.

3 out of 5 stars Standard Fare For Rogers, But A Good Bargain.......2002-08-06

If you are a Kenny Rogers fan, you'll love this set. There's no new territory broken here; just plain old love song covers. None of these songs were hits for Rogers. It's just a collection of standard hits culled together for a good sales ploy. Some are great and others are snorers. However, considering that it is a three CD Box Set for such a low price, you can't lose. These songs could easily have fit on two discs, but quantity is quantity and Mr. Rogers knows all about that.

4 out of 5 stars love is back.......2001-10-25

1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2007-01-30

I was very disappointed by the fact that some of these songs aren't his original recording of the song. For example "Through the Years" is a remake that sounds nothing like the original "Through the Years". I may as well throw it in the trash, as I will never listen to it again.
