- His beard
- On a lark, he once performed as himself as part of the "Legends In Concert" impersonators show at the Imperial Palace Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. He sang the duet "Islands In the Stream" with the Dolly Parton impersonator. Several people from the audience interviewed after the show didn't realize that he was the real thing.
- His 1983 duet "Islands in the Stream" with fellow country singer Dolly Parton was ranked the #1 on CMT 100 greatest country duets of all time. The song, however, was originally written for Diana Ross by The Bee Gees (Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb).
- Identical twin sons, Justin Charles and Jordan Edward were born on July 6, 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia. His wife, Wanda, is an identical twin, and twins also run in Kenny's family.
- He was a co-founder of the restaurant chain Kenny Rogers Roasters in league with former Kentucky Fried Chicken chairman John Y. Brown Jr. Although they closed in the United States, they remain a fixture in Asia.
- Sang the song "Lady" with Lionel Richie playing piano.
- Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.
- A smart man isn't necessarily one who knows all the answers, but knows where to find them.
- [on performing with Dolly Parton] Working with Dolly is a great rush for me because we are good friends, and we have been, forever. We just flirted a lot. I can't explain it, but flirting is more electric than passion. It's the anticipation. She does it better than anybody I've ever seen, and it's just good fun.
- I've been so lucky to have enjoyed such a long career and to have such amazing support from my fans and all who helped me along the way, but there comes a time when I need to focus on spending time with my family. There are a lot of things I want to do together with them to create some special memories. I don't have a bucket list of my own...I have a bucket list of things I want to do with them.
