They did have a special friendship. On the morning that Kenny passed away, Dolly tweeted an amazing, video eulogy, almost before the news had gotten around. She's such a treasure, and Kenny was as big of an icon as could be.
@@thattiktokguy Which one ... the eulogy or Lady? Eulogy .... ua-cam.com/video/iHPqwQU86og/v-deo.html Here is Lady with the songwriter Lionel Ritchie. A video for all time. ua-cam.com/video/WI2CvL6UYvE/v-deo.html
@@thattiktokguy Yes. Dolly's tearful eulogy/goodbye to Kenny shortly after word came of his passing is somewhere on You Tube. I've watched it a couple of times. I hope you can find it.
Their most famous duet is Islands in the Stream which was a crossover hit written by the Bee Gees. They also did a beautiful duet later in their careers called You Can't Make Old Friends which is just a sweet song. Kenny's most famous songs are the Gambler but it is probably Lady, written by Lionel Ritchie which you should listen to cement you as a Kenny Rogers fan. Dolly has so many hits but her signature song is I Will Always Love You, which Whitney Houston later famously covered as a pop tune, but her most autobiographical song is Coat of Many Colors. Dolly has literally written over 5000 songs. Both had a long history of doing duets with other artists too though but Kenny and Dolly together was a unique pairing. Also worth a listen is any of the songs that Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris sang together, they did two albums together called Trio I and II which have astounding harmonies between three legendary women.
Long, lovely friendship together. Next you need to hear " Islands in the Stream". It's just a beautiful duet from them both. RIP Kenny. Thanks Craig. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Kenny Rogers was lead singer of the "FIRST EDITION". And of course, then he went solo! I have always loved Kenny Rogers as well as Dolly Parton! Together they make the perfect duet!!! Thank you for your wonderful reaction!
There is nothing like Kenny and Dolly singing You Can't Make Old Friends! You will feel the love come through on that one!!! He recorded this with Sheena Easton.
Bob Seger was the writer and original singer of this song.. you should check his version out, it’s incredible and he’s a great artist! Thanks for your reactions! Great job!! 👍👍👍
You should check out their final duet “ you can’t make old friends “ which was written about Kenny and Dolly’s friendship by the person who wrote the gambler.
I suggest Kenny, when he was still with The First Edition... "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" (react to the record); also, "Coward of the County" (official video). For Dolly, my all-time favorite, of hers, is "Hard Candy Christmas"; then, "9 to 5" (official vid - the sound of the typewriter, is her playing her acrylic nails - it even said that, in the liner notes). One of the best, ever, Country collaborations---the only ones that come close, are, probably, Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, and Tammy Wynette and George Jones. Loved your reaction, as always!!!
Kenny and Dolly did several great duets together. I'm sure your comments will be full of recommendations for "Islands in the Stream," which was a huge hit for them. Dolly's Sheena Easton comment happened becsuse Sheena was the original duet partner on "We Got Tonight."
When she said "Who needs Sheena Easton?", he originally recorded this song with her. That's also a very good version. You should react to Kenny and Dolly's live performance of Islands in the Stream. In the middle of the song she says "excuse me Kenny" cuz she steps on his foot. lol
You should give a listen to Kenny Rogers and The First Addition. He was in this band before he went country. One of my favorite songs from that band is Rueben James.
Kenny also sang with the beautiful, legendary. Dottie West. Dottie was killed in a car wreck on her way to a performance. She sang several hits One was " I was born a Country Girl." "I was Raised on Country Sunshine. "
Brought me to tears...there's not a lot of true legends( no bs)that love and support each other; oh yeah; can also sing their butts off...it just makes me miss kenny, cuz their love, friendship, and mutual respect always made my soul happy🤠
When I was a kid MANY years ago (circa 1970s), my mom used to play all of her Kenny Rogers albums when she cleaned the house. I think I knew all the words to "The Gambler" when I was 6 years old--hahaha.
These are two of our country music SUPERSTARS. They were wonderful, loving, longtime friends...Dolly was so heartbroken when he passed. Rest in Peace Kenny, you were one of a kind!
I live in Nashville and have seen most of the country music stars in person. Dolly is very short. She is only 5'0 tall. She wears large heels often. In the 70s my uncle took Dolly's sister, Rachel Parton, to prom. Dolly lives in Brentwood, TN which is south of Nashville. We have family pictures of my uncle and Rachel Parton at my Grandmother's home.
Have you reacted to their video "you can't make old friends". I can't remember. Video is even more sad with Kenny gone. The video really really shows their friendship.
So fun, he did this duet with Sheena, which is why she made that crack. Check out 'Lady' by Kenny & Lionel Richie. Lionel wrote it for Kenny & they both recorded it individually. They performed it live together at the CMT awards in 2018 and that is the best version, because the love between the two is priceless. The voices are wonderful & friendship is amazing.
I love your reactions and wish you would do more of Kenny and Dolly. You can't find two more entertaining, sincere, kind human beings. Please react to more of their music :) "Lady" sung by Kenny is amazing and a personal fav, "You Can't Make Old Friends" duet, Dolly "Me and Little Andy". No matter what they sing, you end up captivated ;)
The world is emptier with out Kenny in it and will be unimaginable when someday(a long time from now)Dolly leaves us. Both legends on their own and even more amazing together.
Some Kenny favorites: Lucille Ruby (don't take your love to town) The Greatest Buy Me a Rose She Believes in Me You Decorated My Life Don't Fall In Love with a Dreamer (duet with Kim Carnes)
Beautiful reaction! Bless you.:) 💖. Two “ out of this world” outstanding talents with such special, caring souls. 🥰 Deep friendship, super chemistry and true love. Beautiful 💞
PLEASE check out "Lady" for some more Kenny! You'll hear the "eh eh eh" Dolly was teasing him about. I saw these two in the mid 80's in Billings, Montana. This setting and video looks just the way it did when I was there. Really nice to have that memory again.
For Kenny: The Gambler Ruby (Don’t take your love to town) Coward of The County Both Duet: Islands in the Stream Dolly:….so many! The lady can write songs! Coat of Many Colors comes to mind first. It’s a true story from her childhood.
I enjoyed this very much, you know by now that I love your reactions and your channel. I am missing the Country Groups though. There are so many awesome groups that you would love, i.e. Diamond Rio, "I Believe", "Your Gone", "Unbelievable"; Lonestar "Amazed", "Walking in Memphis", "I'm Already There", "My Front Porch Looking In"; The Dixie Chicks, "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Wide Open Spaces", Alabama; "Mountain Music", "Angels Among Us", "Song of the South"; Rascal Flatts "Why", "Life is a Highway", "Changed", "Banjo", "Bless The Broken Road", "Here Comes Goodbye", "I'm Moving On", "I Like the Sound of That"; Little Big Town "Better Man", "Pontoon", "Your Side of the Bed", "Boondocks", "Day Drinking", "God Bless the Daughters; Lady A "Ocean", "Bartender", "Need You Now". Just to name a few. There are a ton of great country bands from now and back in the day and they have massive catalogues of wonderful music. Just putting a bug in your ear! 😉
"I will always love you" -- if you haven't done a reaction to this you really need to. Both Dolly's and Whitney Houston's version. They are both great.
They were best friends. It was always rumored they had an affair. I don't think it happened. You should check out the original version with Kenny and Sheena Easton
❤❤ OMG you so need to react to ( KENNY ROGERS & DOLLY PARTON - ISLANDS IN THE STREAM - HQ Audio ) I could not get enough of it when it came out and still love it so much !!
Yes Kenny doing it solo. And compare with the vid of Kenny AND the writer Lionel Richie doing it together. The bit of history at the beginning of that vid with Kenny onstage talking to/about Lionel and the writing of Lady is great. And when Lionel is singing the Ladyyyyyyyyy and Kenny is trying to get him to add the bounce is pure gold.
He did duets with several different artist. My favorite is with Kim Carnes--Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer--written by Kim Carnes. I think you will like it too!
Absolutely loved friendship and chemistry between these two.. but I never really relinquished this one to them. Bob Seger is a legend and it will always be his. But I'll grant they did an amazing cover!
Dolly loves to pull pranks on Kenny. He never knows what she'll do or say. He loves her. Please watch their last recording 'You can't make old friends'. That will get you. ua-cam.com/video/chBNBzE35EI/v-deo.html If you want to go down Kenny's rabbit hole, then watch his famous songs 'Coward of the County'. ua-cam.com/video/BbYj3tJRSO8/v-deo.html That one will make you have emotions you didn't think of as there are a few twists in the story. Also, The Gambler. ua-cam.com/video/7hx4gdlfamo/v-deo.html Both of those songs were made into movies with Kenny acting in them. Have fun. ua-cam.com/video/wgM7yI-SmMY/v-deo.html BTW, when Dolly says 'who needs Sheena Easton, she's referring to the great singer who first recorded this song with Kenny. That's why it surprised Kenny.
You should really listen to Coward of the County. (Tip: Don't go for the live version on that one -- He always sped it up live, which made it harder to focus on the lyrics.)
If you want to go down the Kenny Rogers voice, start with his venture into hard rock in the 60s with the group The First Edition, Just Dropped in to see what condition my condition was in”
Enjoyed your reactions. If you liked them together here, you might want to check out their: You Can't Make Old Friends, as well as them singing Islands in the Stream.

You should do ' lady ' live.....
Can it be found on utube?

Your face is the same face I had when Dolly walked in. There’s something magical about Miss Dolly.

When I was a kid MANY years ago (circa 1970s), my mom used to play all of her Kenny Rogers albums when she cleaned the house. I think I knew all the words to "The Gambler" when I was 6 years old--hahaha.
There’s another video where the comment was “some of you were born because of this song”
Also her recent video with for King and Country is wonderful

They were the very best of friends. And they did have a wonderful stage chemistry , Kenny is very missed.
I enjoyed your reaction video so much !!!! It's quite clear you enjoyed this performance immensley !!!!
Oh, I'm happy that you carried your reaction into the after-banter. Such fun to see your appreciation of these two.
Another duet they did together is “Islands in the stream” and that left people screaming for more songs from the two of them together.
Have you reacted to their video "you can't make old friends". I can't remember.
Video is even more sad with Kenny gone. The video really really shows their friendship.
Another great Kenny and Dolly duet is “Real Love”, a funny one is their version of “Love is Strange”
I adore Real Love, but so few others seem to even know about it.
@@KuscosPoison it really is such a great song
Smiling & Laughing so much, my face hurts lol. Love it!! 😍
YOU MUST REACT to their last duet together...You Can Make Old Friends!!! The BEST!
So fun, he did this duet with Sheena, which is why she made that crack. Check out 'Lady' by Kenny & Lionel Richie. Lionel wrote it for Kenny & they both recorded it individually.

True Legends
Everyone thought they would get together! They were always doing songs together!
For Kenny: The Gambler
Ruby (Don’t take your love to town)
Coward of The County

Coat of Many Colors comes to mind first. It’s a true story from her childhood.

They HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH EACH OTHER!! Dolly's sense of humor is AMAZING!! She said " It takes alot of money to LOOK THIS CHEAP"!!!

Kenny originally put this out with Sheena Easton. Love Kenny and Dolly too
"I will always love you" -- if you haven't done a reaction to this you really need to. Both Dolly's and Whitney Houston's version. They are both great.
They were best friends. It was always rumored they had an affair. I don't think it happened. You should check out the original version with Kenny and Sheena Easton
Sevier County's FAVORITE DAUGHTER!!! We LOVE YOU DOLLY!!
Dolly is my fav female country singer
My favorite song by Dolly is “Wildflowers” 👵🏼☮️❤️🙏🏼
Have you done a react to Kenny and Lionel doing Lady yet?? One of the best live performances ever!
Love Dolly & Kenny. Would love to see you do Dolly with Reba McIntyre doing "Does He Love You", you would adore it! Love your reactions so much!!!!
❤❤ OMG you so need to react to ( KENNY ROGERS & DOLLY PARTON - ISLANDS IN THE STREAM - HQ Audio ) I could not get enough of it when it came out and still love it so much !!
You need to do his song Lady. It is amazing.
Yes Kenny doing it solo. And compare with the vid of Kenny AND the writer Lionel Richie doing it together. The bit of history at the beginning of that vid with Kenny onstage talking to/about Lionel and the writing of Lady is great. And when Lionel is singing the Ladyyyyyyyyy and Kenny is trying to get him to add the bounce is pure gold.
Yes!
This one’s great. Kenny and Sheena Easton’s is great. But, I still love the original best. Bob Seger. 🥰
Silly has got to be the nicest person in show.business! She has the sweetest personality hands down!😊
They have always been great friends.
Any Dolly Kenny duet is AMAZING Have You Heard ISLANDS IN THE STREAM??!!??
He did duets with several different artist. My favorite is with Kim Carnes--Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer--written by Kim Carnes. I think you will like it too!
Speech less
This is a great version of this song and as you said there is obvious chemistry at play. Still the original, by Bob Seger is my favorite.
My favorite by Kenny is Buy Me A Rose. Sec. Is The Last Ten Years a tribute to Superman (Christopher Reeves.)
Absolutely loved friendship and chemistry between these two.. but I never really relinquished this one to them. Bob Seger is a legend and it will always be his. But I'll grant they did an amazing cover!
Hello from Arkansas USA 🇺🇸
Dolly, Coat of many colors
You have to listen to Kenny Rogers songs, "Through The Years" & "Buy Me A Rose".
Islands in the Stream is a must!!
She is so sweet ❤️
Please do Charlie Danniels "The Devil Went down to Georgia". It will blow your socks off.
Dolly loves to pull pranks on Kenny. He never knows what she'll do or say. He loves her. Please watch their last recording 'You can't make old friends'.

This is Bob Seger's song. Check him out some time. He has a lot of great songs. Dolly and Kenny are so great together ♥️
You should really listen to Coward of the County. (Tip: Don't go for the live version on that one -- He always sped it up live, which made it harder to focus on the lyrics.)
This should lead you down the Bob Seger rabbit hole. He wrote and recorded this song in the mid to late 70's.
What a classic! Please react to I would've loved you by Jake Hoot and Kelly Clarkson. Amazing country duet 👌❤️
I think their most beautiful song together is Old Friends
FYI..song written by Bob Seger..i.e. Old Time rock 'N Roll Bog Seger
You HAVE to react to Coward of the County
Check out island's in the stream by kenny roger's and dolly partion. great song.
