Kenny Roger's early musical aspirations began with a doo-wop group called The Scholars, achieving limited success by means of three single records and notably, Rogers was not the lead singer. After leaving the New Christy Minstrels in 1967 accompanied by some fellow members, the group First Edition was formed with Kenny Rogers at the helm as lead singer, followed by great success with a chain of hits. After signing a solo deal with United Artists in 1976 and followed by various number one hits, the singer's career was catapulted into stardom status, leading to the collaboration of a series of albums in the late 1970s, which featured duets with country music icon Dottie West.
