Spongebob Squarepants: Christmas features a variety of holiday-themed episodes from everyone’s favorite sea-dwelling sponge. The DVD includes the double-length episode "Christmas Who," as well as eight additional episodes.
For more than half a century, Kenny Rogers has been recording some
of the most revered and beloved music in America and around the
world. In that time, he has become a living legend by combining
everything from R and B to country and gospel to folk in his unique
voice to create a sound that's both wholly original and instantly
recognizable. Now, in his first-ever memoir, Kenny details his
lifelong journey to becoming one of American music's elder
statesmen-a rare talent who's created hit records for decades while
staying true to his values as a performer and a person. Exploring
the struggles of his long road, his story begins simply: growing up
in Depression-era Texas, living in the projects, surviving in
poverty, and listening to his mother, who always had just the right
piece of wisdom. Recounting his early years, first as a jazz
bassist and later as a member of the pioneering folk group the New
Christy Minstrels, Kenny charts how he came into his own as an
artist with the First Edition, only to have the band's breakup in
the 1970s raise questions about his musical future. Yet, as Kenny
explains, it was precisely this soul-searching that led him to a
new direction on his own in Nashville. Telling the stories that
have become legends in a town that's seen many of them, he recalls
the making of his career in country music and his most memorable
songs, including Lucille, The Gambler, Lady, and Islands in the
Stream. Along the way, he shares the friendships, both big and
small, that have meant the most to him, describing the good times
he's had with Dottie West, Lionel Richie, and, of course, Dolly
Parton, and how through it all he continues to make music with the
passion that has defined him from the start. Staring across the
decades, Kenny writes a story seemingly straight from one of his
songs. The end result is a rollicking ride through fifty years of
music history, which offers a heartwarming testament to a time when
country music wasn't just a brand but a way of life.
