Kenny Rogers The Gambler Full Album.

It was Kenny Rogers who finally broke the song loose, in a version produced by Larry Butler. His rendition was a Country hit and even made its way to the Hot 100 at a time when country songs rarely crossed over. This song had a huge impact on both Kenny Rogers and its writer Don Schlitz. Rogers had three Country hits under his belt, but "The Gambler" gave him the title track to his biggest-selling album. Schlitz was able to quit his day job (actually a night job - he worked the graveyard shift) and become a full-time songwriter

Produced by Larry Butler. On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

Kenny Rogers had already enjoyed 20 years of musical success before releasing The Gambler on November 14, 1978. But the album - and especially its title track - led to the season singer’s career skyrocketing to a whole new level. The Gambler quickly became Rogers’ signature hit, after its chart-topping, award-winning, television success. That was a career-building song, says Rogers
