Before starting and fronting the First Edition in 1967, Kenny Rogers already had quite the career. He had been a member of the Kirby Stone Four (remember Baubles Bangles And Beads?) and also a member of The New Christy Minstrels (Green Green, and Saturday Night).The members of the First Edition were Thelma Camacho, Mike Settle, Terry Williams, and Mickey Jones. All but Jones were memebers of the New Christy Minstrels. Before splitting from the group in 1973, they racked up ten entries on the Billboard chart, including two Top Ten hits.
This week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Kenny Rogers and The First Edition with two of their hits: Something's Burnin' and Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town.
