\"\"Hear Kenny Rogers Say \u2018Goodbye\u2019 In Rediscovered Ballad<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Fond Farewell From a True Legend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kenny Rogers delivers a final farewell in the emotional track \u201cGoodbye,\u201d a newly-rediscovered track which now takes on a whole new meaning.\u00a0\u201cGoodbye\u201d was one of the last songs Rogers recorded during a brief tenure with Capitol Records \u2014 and before now was only available on a greatest-hits collection,\u00a0Kenny Rogers: The First 50 Years<\/em>. After his death, executives at the label found the track and decided to send it to country radio, a fitting tribute to a true country legend.<\/p>\n

‘Goodbye\u2019 was one of the last recordings Kenny did for Capitol Records,\u201d the label explained in an announcement. \u201cThose closest to Kenny wanted to make this track available to all of his fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodbye\u201d was written about the end of a relationship, a classically-themed ballad with Rogers\u2019 rich, tender vocals leading the way. But now it feels like a fond goodbye from \u201cThe Gambler\u201d to his fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s peace in where you are, maybe all I need to know \/ and if I listen to my heart I\u2019ll hear your laughter once more \/ and so I have to say, I\u2019m just glad you came my way \/ it\u2019s not easy to say goodbye,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0goes the moving track.<\/p>\n

Rogers, the Country Music Hall of Fame member who sold over 100 million records in his lifetime and topped the charts with hits such as \u201cLady\u201d (another song penned by Richie),\u00a0died March 20 at the age of 81 years old.<\/p>\n

His life and career will be highlighted on an upcoming A&E mini-documentary which features interviews with Parton,\u00a0Richie,\u00a0Chris Stapleton,\u00a0Reba McEntire,\u00a0Little Big Town,\u00a0Lady Antebellum,\u00a0Jamey Johnson, and more.<\/p>\n
