If you close your eyes and just listen, Kenny's voice sounds just like it did 40 years ago. His voice is so easy to recognize and I love it so much.

The gambler, he broke even. And I still can't stop crying.

I was stunned to learn what close friends Kenny and Lionel were. Lionel took his death hard, and as a fan of both of them, my heart broke for him. We watched the show on CMT last night and it was a nice tribute to Kenny. They had a lot of fun during the 30+ years of their friendship. I think my favorite performance of the night was Dolly singing/playing "Sweet music man". #RIPGambler
