My wife and I both grew up listening to him because our parents were big fans of his. Yesterday, we were out clearing weeds and shrubs at the top of my property and in his honor, we jammed his music all day.
Kenny certainly picked a good time to fold 'em. Dude was a country music legend. Like him or not, you knew his songs. Fare thee well, Ken.

Before I was a metalhead, I listened to whatever was popular at the time. I had his album with The Gambler on it and for a brief time it was my favorite. Haven't sat down and listened to anything of his since those days, but he was still a legend.
