Kenny Rogers is the title of Kenny Rogers' second solo album for United Artists Records, released worldwide in 1977. The album marked his first major solo success following the minor success of Love Lifted Me in 1976.
The album produced two singles. The first single, 1976's "Laura (What He's Got That I Ain't Got?)", peaked at #19. This song was originally a #1 country hit for Leon Ashley in 1967. In 1977, Kenny gained stardom with the single "Lucille", which climbed to the top of the country charts (both in the U.S. and Canada) and placing him squarely on the U.S. Hot 100 in the #5 position. Another track from the album is "I Wasn't Man Enough" which makes appearances on some of Rogers' greatest hits compilations in years to come.
The album reached #1 on the Country charts and ranked as high as #30 overall, and was certified Platinum in the U.S. (only reaching Gold in Canada).
Kenny Rogers' official site (kennyrogers.biz) refers to this album on the Discography section simply as "Lucille". After the massive success of this track, a sticker was placed on the wrapping of the LP version of the release that said only the name "Lucille." It was placed on the top right of the album jacket, just above the line where the grey color starts, making it almost look like the title of the album is "Lucille." Sometimes on some catalog listings of United Artists albums that were released from that label, the album lists as the title "Lucille," also. The sticker was the reason for this "title change."
Later pressings of the album by Liberty Records did not include the "Lucille" sticker on the cover. The official title of this album remains "Kenny Rogers," and was never officially changed.
