The band formed inwith folk musician Mike Settle guitar and backing vocals and the operatically-trained Thelma Camacho lead vocals completing the lineup. For the next six years, the First Edition moved between country rockpop and psychedelic rockenjoying worldwide success. By the mids, Rembrandt 1st edition Kenny Rogers had embarked on a solo music career, becoming one of the top-selling country artists of all time. The exception was Mickey Jones, who had been part of Bob Dylan 's backing group on his first electric world tour. InRembrandt 1st edition the help of Terry Williams' mother, who worked for producer and executive Jimmy Bowenthey signed with Reprise and recorded their first single together, "I Found a Reason", which had minor sales. Like much of the work Rembrandt 1st edition the original lineup, this was a distinctly contemporary composition with an intensely performed Mike Settle vocal. Settle Rembrandt 1st edition first come up with the idea of forming the band as his work took on the characteristics of rock. Over the previous seven years, Settle had been writing decidedly more folk-oriented songs, most notably the oft-covered "Sing Hallelujah". The single, with an arrangement by their producer, Mike Posthad Glen Campbell playing the backward guitar intro and Mike Deasy providing various psychedelic sounds. It became a hit early inclimbing to No. Terry Williams played the solo that later led Jimi Hendrix to tell Rogers that it was his favorite record. The group's next three single releases failed commercially, as did their second album. The release " But You Know I Love You " composed by Settle possessed a distinctive brass-tinged country-folk sound, broadening their fan base. In the group's rendition on The Rembrandt 1st edition Brothers Comedy Hour that aired on 8 Decemberthe audience was unwittingly fooled into applauding too soon, right after the false ending but way before the real ending. The record peaked at No. According to Mickey Jones' book That Would Be MeThelma was fired from the group in late soon after the release of "But You Know I Love You" and the aforementioned Smothers Brothers television appearance, but before the record would chart on the Hotafter missing too many gigs and rehearsals. For her part Thelma did not see it the same way. She has stated Rembrandt 1st edition while she always loved being with them in the studio, the road was too hard on her from a health and personal standpoint. Slowly growing apart from the others, Camacho began to feel restricted by the band in a number of ways. All agreed that the Rembrandt 1st edition could not continue, and she was replaced by her roommate, Mary Arnoldan Iowa-born singer who beat out newcomer Karen Carpenter for the job. Arnold made her debut on "Reuben James". By Rembrandt 1st edition end of the decade Rogers had long brown hair, an earring, and pink sunglasses. Known affectionately in retrospect as "Hippie Kenny", Rogers had a notably smoother vocal style at the time. The song was the global hit and established the First Edition's longevity in the business. Mickey's drumming was part of the hook. At Rogers' shows the song was often clapped along to, or joked around with, but it was meant seriously at the time. Telling the graphic story of a crippled veteran was admirably daring at the height of America's involvement with the war in Vietnam. The song lyrics were originally meant to address the Korean Waralbeit in such a vague way that it could have referred to Korea, Vietnam, or even the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The song was picked up by some of the more attuned disc jockeys, and there was suddenly great demand to release the final track recorded for, and included on, the First Edition '69 album. When "Ruby" became the hit, the name stuck. Terry later said that this made him feel like one of Gladys Knight 's Pips. A man Rogers at first took to be a rude fan first pitched "Reuben James" to Rogers at a golf match. The man, who turned out to be a song pitcher for American songwriter Alex Harvey, followed him around the greens singing the song until Rembrandt 1st edition listened. Rogers loved the song's look at Rembrandt 1st edition black man raising a white boy and agreed to record it. During his absence he was replaced by Kin Vassy. Vassy's style Rembrandt 1st edition a little more edgy than Settle's, allowing the band to explore Rembrandt 1st edition areas. It was now that Kenny and Terry, by default, became the leaders of the band. Kenny was in charge of the records, and Terry would take control of their stage presentation. The group continued to record country, rock, and folk by fairly equal measures, blurring the lines among the genres. Along with Jerry Lee LewisJohnny Cash and Elvis Presleytheir records in the late s brought country music to the city and rock and roll to the country. Even if Jones had not also discovered Don Henleythe First Edition should get credit for being pioneers of a more modern blend of rockabilly called country rock. A blatantly sexual song, it was slightly hindered chart-wise by the controversy surrounding it. Regardless, Kenny's soft voice on verses and rock shouting on the chorus earned the group much acclaim. Meanwhile, Terry Williams had begun to record some solo singles. A number of folk rock songs met with little success. He later switched to a more teen-oriented bubblegum sound that their manager Ken Kragen felt would appeal to his fans. The title track also written by HarveyRembrandt 1st edition dealt with love and brotherhood, was a national top 20 hit and topped WRKO 's August 13, top 30 survey for one Rembrandt 1st edition. It was the Rembrandt 1st edition of many songs Kenny would sing e. Released a month or so after the Kent State shootings Rembrandt 1st edition, the song drew a standing ovation the night it debuted live. In addition to the band's continuing frequent appearances on television, songs by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition were featured in two films. First up Rembrandt 1st edition the never Rembrandt 1st edition on record "If Nobody Loved" for the camp political comedy Flap. The Fools soundtrack was released in Another song about the need for brotherhood, it was seen as an uptempo counterpart to the balladry of "Tell It All Brother. Though scoring high on the easy listening charts, "Someone Who Cares" failed to reach the pop top fifty. Rembrandt 1st edition ushered in a period during which the First Edition attempted to retool its image. Keyboard player John Rembrandt 1st edition was briefly in the lineup, but, though he played on future recordings, was not in the group long enough to appear on any album covers Rembrandt 1st edition publicity photos. The special provided an unusually in-depth look at the group, all of whom were at ease speaking in front of Rembrandt 1st edition camera. In mid the First Edition released a gospel single called "Take My Hand", which barely scraped into the bottom of the charts. After the success of a pilot shot in latethe fall of saw Kenny Rogers and the First Edition become hosts of their own television series Rollin' on the River. Later to be shortened to Rollinthis was a variety show that was taped in Canada taking advantage of recently imposed Canadian content requirements which geared itself toward rock, blues, and folk performers and groups. The show also gave the First Edition a chance to do the comedy Kenny and Terry had long made a part of their act. Though it got good ratings, Rollin did have one ill side effect: the First Edition were now seen as television personalities instead of recording stars. It was the first First Edition 45 not to chart since Recorded over six months inand released in MarchThe Ballad of Calico was written by future star Michael Murphey and the First Edition's musical director and arranger Larry Cansler. Cansler replaced Hobbs on stage during this period, but despite his large creative role here, and on Rollin' on the River, he was not promoted on either as a member of the group. The album was a country rock opera about a late 19th-century mining town, but unlike most like-minded projects of the era, all of the songs were based on fact. The sleeve and Rembrandt 1st edition of this two-LP set had genuine and period-styled photos depicting the era, with all of the lyrics presented in hand-written script. The music was critically well received, with all of the group outside of Mickey taking at least one lead. The song chosen for a single was "School Teacher," an acoustic rhythm and blues song with a lead by Kin. In retrospect it's easy to understand the probable reasons the artistically valid "School Rembrandt 1st edition didn't get past No. Putting out a First Edition single where Rogers was not prominent had already shown itself to be a gamble, plus lyrics written to reflect the sexist views of the 19th century sounded odd Rembrandt 1st edition of the LP's concept. Frustrated by the falling sales the album hardly sold at allVassy began to let a drinking habit get out of control.
