ow.ly/GUI9u Kenny Rogers explains how he was inspired to write the song Lucille on Dinah!, a daytime TV talk show (Season 3, Ep 124, aired 3/22/1977). Kenny says the story of Lucille began in the summer of 1958 when Kenny was near Tulsa, Oklahoma to help his uncle cut hay. During that time, a local TV channel, the CBS affiliate channel 6 KOTV had been broadcasting the voice of a heartbroken man whose wife had left him. His words were, You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field. We had some good times and we had some bad times... This man was also broadcast on a few Tulsa area radio stations during that week. The mans words haunted Kenny for years and Kenny felt there was a great song in those few lines according to his interview with Dinah Shore on her daytime talk show. Kenny Rogers kept those words in his head and later got help from some other song writers (Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum) who took the lines that Kenny had heard in 1958 and created a song which became one of Kenny Rogers greatest hits. Kenny told Dinah Shore that he was expecting someone to stand up in one of his concerts and say, Hey, that was me in your song.
