Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, until 1969 billed as The First Edition, were an American rock band that fused rock and roll, R&B, folk, and country. Its core members were Kenny Rogers (lead vocals and bass guitar), Mickey Jones (drums and percussion) and Terry Williams (guitar and vocals). The band formed in 1967, with folk musician Mike Settle (guitar and backing vocals) and the operatically-trained Thelma Camacho (lead vocals) completing the lineup.

As the counterculture of the 1960s was developing, the First Edition signed with Reprise Records in 1967 and had their first big hit in early 1968 with the pop-psychedelic single \»Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)\» (US No. 5). After only one more chart hit, \»But You Know I Love You\» (US No. 19), the group, newly billed as \»Kenny Rogers and the First Edition\», once again hit the top ten, this in 1969 with the topical \»Ruby, Don\’t Take Your Love to Town\» (US No. 6, UK No.2).

For the next six years, the First Edition moved between country rock, pop and psychedelic rock, enjoying worldwide success. By the mid-1970s, frontman Kenny Rogers had embarked on a solo music career, becoming one of the top-selling country artists of all .
