Details: Long before Kenny Rogers achieved pop and country superstardom, he was a member of the late-’60s pop group The First Edition, which had five Top 40 hits, including "Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town" and "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." This success led to the airing of a November 1970 television special, Rollin’ On The River, which starred the band. The response was so overwhelming that CBS turned it into a weekly music/variety show. From 1971 to 1973, Rollin’ (as the show was renamed) was a showcase for the hottest musical talent of the time. The best performances from the show are collected for the first time on this disc. Hosted by drummer Mickey Jones (Kenny Rogers and the First Edition), this DVD is a loving tribute to a time when popular music had the ability to cross genres and touch us all. These 14 beautifully restored selections from the Rollin’ archives still cast a powerful spell. Program Listing 1. Kenny Rogers and the First Edition - Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town 2.
