found: Wikipedia.org, via WWW, 18 May 2015:(Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, previously named The First Edition, was a rock and roll-based band, who also performed R&B, folk music, and country music. Its stalwart 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 completing the lineup. The First Edition signed with Reprise Records in the summer of 1967 and had its 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," the group, newly billed as "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition," once again hit the top ten, this time in the summer of 1969 with the topical "Ruby, don't take your love to town.")
