In 1978 Kenny Rogers went to No. 1 and won a Grammy Award for his smash hit 'The Gambler.' Now, thanks to Robert Wilsdon, the song has been revived and remixed into a Country Line Dance favorite.

In honor of Kenny Rogers' recent induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, we feature 'The Gambler' line dance. Ask for this song from your local Country Night Club DJ or Line Dance Instructor and add a little life to the party.
