I've gotta tell you, Johnny Cash mmust have covered every great song ever written, and made it better than the original.......except for this one sadly.....Kenny Rogers was just too good, even though Cash was definitely the greatest musician ever
you to know when to hold em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run, you gotta count you're money, if yah sitting at the table, they'll be time enough for campin, when the dealins done...
@inuyashasfirstlove94 yo....you cannot like this song without liking th originall..oter songs..yeah go for it...but all the creit for this song goes to kenny, and kenny alone.. :)
thing i like about this type of music is artista enjoyed sharing it with eachother as that was part of the fun of making music and it made some songs better , whereas now its "oh bitch u copies my song ill sue u"... such a shame /:, go cash :D
i love johnny cash but this song doesnt suit him it really sounds like he is just saying the words of the song n no emotion thats y kenny's is better so much better
@gfdsdfgfdfg i didnt say that im talking in this song that it sounds like he is just saying the words not feelings i love johnny cash just not in this song is all
Du som har laga videoen da @kaste94? Tror itte godeste Johnny Cash spilte inn noen videoer i norge.. Han Spilte inn en plate på østeråker fengsel i sverige, men je har aldri finni noe han gar gitt ut i fra norge.
I love Johnny cash, but this is far better done by Kenny Rogers. Cash seems to not put a lot of emotion into this song. Anyway, good song just not as good.
@sparky99eagle I agree,man. hearing this song done by Mr. Cash is just weird.....Don'ty get me wrong I love Johnny Cash....but when he does this song it just seems like he's reading the song not singing it,no feeling. Kenny's version in infinity superior .
I like the version better than kenny rogers. The only thing i really ever liked about kenny rogers were those madtv skits they used to do on how batshit crazy he was.
Jhonny cash didn't record this song he did a cover version beacuse you can tell by he sang " then he bummed a light " but in the real version by Kenny Rogers it was " then he asked me for a light "
@Sparrow476 I don't even remember what I said with that being said I was probably extremely tired and lost my sense of humor when I needed to be asleep .-. hell I think I lost my spelling as well XDDDDD
OK, I apologize, I misread. He wrote "The Gambler" in 1978(and his version was released as a single the same year, along with the other versions. Talk about a hot number!)
This is the first time I have heard Johnny Cash sing this song and as usual he does a great job. He may not be the best version but you lose nothing by listening to him.
Estupenda canción. Nunca me canso de escucharla. Todos los que se han atrevido a cantarla lo hacen bien, cada uno a su manera, pero todas son dignas de una buena obra. Las voces de Johnny, de Kenny son distintas pero cada una tiene su encanto.
Greay song, cool version. Weird to think this song could have begun as a Willie Nelson song, he turned it down and offered it to Kenny Rogers due to him having just recorded Red Headed Stranger
The song is actually Kenny Rogers'. Performed previously by two others artists but never charted until Kenny performed it. I ain't saying Johnny's performance isn't good, I love Johnny and he's my best. Just thought I'd lighten the facts.

Kenny's other notable hits were:
