7 comments so far (post your own)The First Edition or Kenny Rogers and The Fist Edition were the second generation of The New Christy Minstrels. The original members were hiring people to be used on recordings so they wouldn't have to pay royalties to the second generation. they also were not willing to use music written by the second generation because it deviated from their perceived image.

Appreciate all the great information listed on this small band. Very fascinating history. I thought their songs were edgy and "For the Times" of the late 1960s and early 1970s. People would turn over if they knew Kenny Rogers was in this band, long before he folded 'em. Posted by DIAMOND on Sunday, 03/25/2018 @ 09:36am |
