After spending some time as a lead vocalist in a rock band, Rogers branched off as a solo artist and immediately found success while making country music. ‘The Gambler’ has sold over 100 million records worldwide, placing among some of the top-selling country music stars of all-time. He is perhaps best known for his work alongside the genre’s megastars, recording duets with Dottie West, Kim Carnes, Lionel Richie, Barry Gibb, and Dolly Parton.
