He developed the Gambler persona into a character for a successful series of television films starting with 1980's Emmy-nominated Kenny Rogers as The Gambler. His signature song, 1978's " The Gambler", was a crossover hit that won him a Grammy Award in 1980 and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. The band broke up in 1975–76, and Rogers embarked on a long and successful solo career, which included several successful collaborations, including duets with singers Dottie West, Dolly Parton, and Sheena Easton and a songwriting partnership with Lionel Richie. As Rogers took an increased leadership role in the First Edition following the success of 1969's " Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town", the band gradually changed styles to a more country feel. In 1967, he and several members of the New Christy Minstrels left to found the group the First Edition, with whom he scored his first major hit, " Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)", a psychedelic rock song which peaked at number five on the Billboard charts. In 1966, he became a member of the folk ensemble the New Christy Minstrels, playing double bass and bass guitar as well as singing. After some solo releases, including 1958's " That Crazy Feeling", Rogers then joined a group with the jazz singer Bobby Doyle. In the late 1950s, Rogers began his recording career with the Houston-based group the Scholars, who first released "The Poor Little Doggie". He remade his career and was one of the most successful cross-over artists of all time.
