In the wake of the iconic artist's passing, here are five tracks to listen in memory of him.
With nearly 40 albums and 21 number one singles under his belt, the singer, who began his career in the late 1950's, was a staple in country and pop music at large. As fans remember Rogers' legacy, here are five songs that define his career.This Don Schlitz-penned song is easily Rogers' best known hit, and it's a master class in storytelling through music. In the song, Rogers encounters a whiskey-drinking, smoking gambling man.
"Rogers' hit in 1977 is a tear-in-the-beer country ballad, about him meeting a woman who recently left her husband. The song sets the scene of that meeting in a bar and Rogers' fear when the man comes to confront his wife. Despite his fear, the chorus shows pity for the husband, as he says that Lucille left him at an inopportune time, as he has to care for four hungry children and worry about crops.
