42 years ago today, April 21, 1984, Kenny Rogers debuted at #30 on Billboard’s AC chart with “Eyes That See in the Dark”. It went on to peak at #4 for two weeks and spent a total of 16 weeks on the chart.

This is one of many songs that I enjoyed listening to on the radio. *Special note: It peaked at #30 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart 4+ decades ago.
