Kenny Rogers was one of the most legendary country music stars of all time. And his life outside his music was a bubbly one. Between the women, the children, and the drama, there’s a lot you probably didn’t know about the country crooner.
The legend sadly passed away in March of 2020 at the age of 81, leaving behind his family and millions of fans who are mourning over his passing.
While everyone seems to think they know all about his private life – including his relationship with Dolly Parton – the retired music star had some things of his own to say about it.

Kenny was actually Kenneth. It was variety show host Larry Kane that told Kenny to change his name from Kenneth – it was too official of a name. Larry made sure Kenny would indeed change his name as he announced that KENNY (not Kenneth) was coming out on stage to sing his song.
Once the public heard Kenny, he couldn’t take it back. Kenny was happy with the shift in his name once the girls in the crowd starting screaming it.
