As a member of the First Edition (and the New Christy Minstrels before that), he shared in some million-sellers, among them “Reuben James” and “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town,” an excellent Mel Tillis song about a disabled veteran.

But superstardom lay ahead for this Texan, and it arrived in the late ’70s.

His experience with the two previous pop groups had prepared him well: he knew the easy listening audience was out there, and he supplied them with well-done middle-of-the-road songs with a country flavor.

Having gone solo, in 1976 Rogers charted with “Love Lifted Me.

” But it was with an outstanding song by writers Roger Bowling and Hal Bynum, “Lucille,” that his star shot upward.
