Not my cup of tea, but I seem to have heard him all my life so he's probably made some sort of impression.

I’m a big fan. Love a bit of country schmalz. I’m rather partial to his hit duet with Dolly Parton (which was written by Barry Gibb):

And of course there’s the brilliant The Gambler, which is the song that made him famous:

A song for our times!

But my favourite track of his isn’t country at all - he had a bit of a psych rock phase in his early years and produced this gem, which may be familiar from the Big Lebowski soundtrack...

I remember having a big row with my dad about Kenny; my dad thought he was the greatest singer that existed. I thought he had a great sounding voice but limited range.

Brilliant entertainer. Half decent actor.
