Lucille (Kenny Rogers song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Lucille" is a popular song recorded by Kenny Rogers. Written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum and produced by Larry Butler, it 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 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.

A cover version was recorded by American country music artist Billy Currington on his 2005 Doin' Somethin' Right album.
