Lucille (Kenny Rogers song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucille is a popular single by Kenny Rogers.

Written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum and produced by Larry Butler, Lucille tells the story of an unfaithful wife and mother. 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 spent a single week on top of the UK singles chart in June 1977.
