[Taker1116]

@viktorhat They were high enough to lip sync poorly.

[Axidente]

[Mrjffwilhelm]

Isn't that guitar player in the white turtleneck one of the Monkeys?

[zoomerlawns]

Blue screen technology has been around that long? Where's my hologram t.v.?

[RoryNights]

Really cool video :)

[midnitecougar]

If people like these songs so well why dont you try doing karaoke? you can go to singsnap.com and some of the songs are available on a free account. I pay for mine though so all songs are available.

[zardiw]

You guys remember a song about a Kentucky Blue Bird...or a Tennesse Blue Bird done by 1st Edition?.........Remember it, but can't find it........z

[zardiw]

Who's teh groovy lookin chick?........z

[sternumagnum]

@zardiw She's a famous West Coast musician, still active in Europe. As you can see in the video, she's a Thigh Slapper.

[jack5505]

what year is this

[grimmviral]

@jack5505 I don't know the exact year, but maybe late 60s or early 70s.

[wheelymeneely]

Kenny Rodgers experimented with acid?

[shetaz905]

@wheelymeneely Back then the question was who didn't experiment with acid.? You didn't get busted for drugs in the 60-70s. This is indeed an acid song....

[getsome138]

Darkness crept over The Dude

[WillsPills56]

Wow Kenny was younger and is as good looking now even though he has aged.

I am his number 1 fan and have over 40 LPS of his.

[jesamani75]

he also advertise casinos.

[smallinson]

He just dropped in to see what condition his lip synching was in.

[Cracksmokinscumbag]

I never thought it was the actual Kenny Rogers singing this. Total respect for him.

[lul7799]

jess, this isnt country, this is goooood

[WizardofFuzz]

kenny rogers is better known as a country musician, right? however, this is finest psychedelia

[OneDerangedManiac]

the guys on the guitars look funny

[SHIFTYPOLICE]

Yeah kenny should have taken more drugs and less cowboy boots.

[howlin2]

Kenny should have stuck to the Rock sound much better then his country stuff

[Metal7788]

what the -

george lukas made music?!

[dm1890]

I prefer William Shatner's version. Much groovier.

[thepaddywagonishere]

I love this song in The Big Lebowski

[afunk909]

what a voice!! I understand Kenny didnt like this song but what does it matter if you have a voice like that!!

[usisguy]

@afunk909 ,

Well this was a psycedelic (sorry for the typo) song, well if your most of the songs of Kenny Rodgers he was mainly Country Western and love songs-which I liked of his.Eventhough I am not a Country fan what so ever.

[GOYOSAMSA02]

Great song but the video needs a Valkyrie

[AJHcorolla]

fully sick bro

[tomthefunky]

Acid is some powerful stuff, y'all. I sure as hell will never do it again. I'll do mushrooms again, though. Got any?

[JCTFilms]

The very same.

[rmm2424]

far out man

[lateagainnick]

i know kenny was just cashing in on the whole flower power thing but what a song to do it with!best heard in some headphones quite loud i think

[wmbrown6]

Actually, the sound of this track was more attributable to producer Mike Post (yes, the same Mike Post who later wrote many a TV show theme). Mr. Post was a protege of Warner/Reprise A&R producer Jimmy Bowen (under whose Amos Productions the record was produced) at the time.

[movidude]

Take it from one who remembers. This was no quick cash in. This was THE KENNY ROGERS OF THE DAY. He even did a weekly TV show on Canadian TV. The show, hokey as it sounds was called "Rollin' On The River" with Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. It was a few years after this that he started down the country road.

[aManOnaJourney]

The First Edition was formed in 1967.

Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) was a hit from their debut album in 1968.

Between 1967 and 1975, hits included:

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town; Reuben James; But You Know I Love You; Something's Burning; Tell It All Brother; Heed the Call

First Edition was the first pop rock group to have a prime time variety show in the USA and Canada - Rollin ran from 1971 to 1973

Kenny's solo "Love Lifted Me" was released 1976

I love this song in the film The Big Lebowski. I think the director must've seen this video, I see some influence to the surreal scene in the film.
