This person died in 2020 at age 81. His career as a solo artist did not gain traction until he was 38 years old. He sang in a husky voice that exuded sincerity and warmth, and duet recordings were a prominent part of his repertoire. Long before the ascendancy of Garth Brooks and Shania Twain, he was among the first country artists to sell out arenas. He won a Grammy for his signature song and worldwide favorite, “The Gambler”. Today’s dead celebrity is Kenny Rogers.
