"Lucille" is a popular song recorded by Kenny Rogers. Written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum and produced by Larry Butler.
The song tells the story of a wife and mother whom the unnamed protagonist (sung from Rogers' point of view) meets at a bar. The woman's husband enters the bar, and though according to the song, is physically able to do the protagonist harm, he instead emotionally chastises his wife for turning her back on her family and her responsibilities and then leaves quietly. Both the woman and the protagonist later leave the bar and head to a hotel for a one-night-stand. However, the protagonist has a change of heart, as the words from the woman's husband still haunt him.
The song was inspired by real life events, as Bynum's own marriage was in trouble when he started writing this tune. It became Rogers' first major hit as a solo artist after leaving the successful Country/Rock group The First Edition the previous year. An international hit, it reached #1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top of the UK singles chart in June 1977, Rogers second single to top a sales chart on that side of the Atlantic.
