Lucille (Kenny Rogers song)
"Lucille" is a song written by Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers. It was released in January 1977 as the second and final single from the album ''Kenny Rogers''. The song is about a man in a bar who meets a woman who has left her husband. It became Rogers' first major hit as a solo artist after leaving the successful country/rock group The First Edition the previous year. An international hit, it reached number 1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart and number 5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Overseas, "Lucille" reached the top of the UK Singles Chart in June 1977, the first of Rogers' two number one singles there.

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, CBS' affiliate in the city, KOTV 6, 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 man's 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 songwriters (Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum) who took the lines that Kenny had heard in 1958 and created a song which became one of Kenny Roger's 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."
The song, told by the narrator (Rogers), tells the story of a man in a bar in Toledo, Ohio, who acquaints himself with a downhearted married woman named Lucille. An inebriated Lucille admits her unhappiness in life and a longing for adventure. Her husband arrives and approaches her and the intimidated narrator. The brokenhearted husband, starting to shake, scorns her for her inconvenient timing in abandoning him "with four hungry children and a crop in the field," leaving him with a "hurtin'" that refuses to heal. After the husband leaves, Lucille and the narrator make their way to a hotel room. The beautiful woman comes to the narrator, but is blindsided by his odd, sudden change of heart. In his mind, he recalls the recurring haunting words of her husband and feels unable to respond to her advances.
