Lionel Richie's Lady Gives Her Heart to Kenny Rogers

A Song That Transcended Genres

WEB Lady is a song written by Lionel Richie that first made its way to the airwaves when it was recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers.

Just a few months after its release in September 1980, it became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, where it remained for six weeks. However, it also made a strong showing in other genres as well, reaching the top twenty on the Adult Contemporary and Hot 100 charts and even gaining some traction on the R&B charts.

Later on, other artists would record their own versions of the song, and each artist's unique style would lend a new dimension to Richie's timeless lyrics.
