In 1977 he had four top-ten country hits and one crossover million-seller, the mock-tragic ÒLucille,Ó about a broken marriage. ÒLucilleÓ won numerous awards for Rogers, including a Grammy and citations from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. ÒFor Kenny Rogers and his manager Ken Kragen,Ó writes Busnar, Òit was only the beginning.Ó Rogers promoted himself tirelessly and carefully, with an eye on his business affairs and an ear on potential recording material.
