Sweet Music Man - Kenny Rogers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

When Country Music Hall of Fame member Kenny Rogers died on 20 March 2020 at the age of 81, he left behind a 60-year legacy of recordings that blurred the boundaries between pop and country, with a healthy dose of adult contemporary thrown in for good measure. "Sweet Music Man" is among his adult contemporary-leaning hits—ranking at number one on the adult contemporary charts—and was written for his 1977 album Daytime Friends. On the song, Kenny Rogers peers into his own soul as from the perspective of a female fan. "You touched my soul with your beautiful song / You even had me singing along right with you / You said 'I need you' / Then you changed the words and that harmony,” he sings over the fuzzy, new age tones of a Moog synthesizer. Self-penned and co-produced by Kenny Rogers, "Sweet Music Man" was released as the final single from Daytime Friends and went to number nine on Billboard's country music charts and number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.
