Kenny Rogers - Love Is Just Around The Corner LIVE

[jarbon5]

This is a wonderful little song. Never thought I'd see Kenny Rogers mixing it up with Take 6, but this was such a warm, gentle, yet outstanding performance. I have truly fallen in love with this song:)

Rare to see kenny does jazz!! But its wonderful!!!!!!!!

Not exactly 'his' song: The song was written by Johnny Mercer.

[thundereye92]

Well 'his song' doesn't describe who wrote it or not. 'His song' just means that Kenny Rogers sung it (even if he wasn't the first one ...)

[naizret]

'Kenny Rogers performing his song' would imply that he wrote it, or introduced it, or is closely identified with it--none of which is true.

[thundereye92]

All right, I changed it into "Kenny Rogers performing 'Love Is Just Around The Corner' " for you ;-)

[naizret]

Wasn't trying to be disagreeable, just a clarification in usage--perhaps a matter of understanding the English idiom?

[thundereye92]

I understood what you said my english is very well, don't worry. But I think you are right and I don't want that anyone else says that 'his song' is not correct.

Uh-uh. This song was written by Lewis E. Gensler, with lyrics by Leo Robin. But Gensler did collaborate on other songs with Johnny Mercer.
