Kenny Rogers

Country music and Christmas songs have been walking together hand in hand through the drifting snow for decades.

On Nov. 15, 1978, Rogers' multi-platinum-selling album 'The Gambler' was released.

For the two chart weeks dated Oct. 29 and Nov. 5, 1983, Rogers and Parton pulled off quite a feat.

You know "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise," but did you know Phil Vassar also wrote these country hits for other artists?

On Sept. 14, 1979, Rogers received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Take a look back at this country legend's incredible life.

Kenny Rogers had given up on "Islands in the Stream," a song known today as one of the best country duets of all time, before something changed his mind.

On June 9, 1979, Rogers soared to the top of the charts with his single "She Believes in Me," from his 'The Gambler' album.

The country music world has a lot of BFFs. No wonder the genre has so many great best friend songs.
