Halle Berry!

Originally it's a Bee Gees song.

@@TheLubbiGunn Bee Gee's wrote Islands in the Stream

Yeah, that's what i said

@@TheLubbiGunn They wrote it but never recorded it.

That's not the way I heard it. Barry said that he called in Kenny to record it because he was close to the studio and Kenny said that it needed to be done as a duet and Kenny immediately said Dolly! So they called her and she came right away!

@@sharcrum Kenny, in an interview I saw some time back, said after 4 days of working on it, he wasn't liking it. Dolly Parton was at the studio. So Barry said they needed Dolly! I bet Dolly has a different version too. Nobody's memory is perfect. At any rate, we have a wonderful song to enjoy.

She'd be the first to tell you *no she ain't*

@@calme-dx2dp and that's the reason why she is.

@@rviaud Preach!! Amen!!

I live everything about her

LOL a saint dont cheat on their husband and she sure as hell did and with kenny so stop making ppl into something they are not

Annie Nominous That's very cute!

I guess I should admit that I heard it as Highlands Industry as a kid.

Oh no now I can't un-hear it 😭😭🤣🤣

@@kitty121261 And we will lie on each other, uh huh. That's the other line I had wrong. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@nemeceka okay to be fair to you it does kinda sound like that 😄

Did you see Straight Talk? So cute.

I believe Dolly Parton, by herself, could bring about world peace if she tried!

She gives one book a month, to ever child in Sevier County, her home, til they are 18, to honor her dad, who never learned to read. She has done this for decades and expanded outside Sevier. After the 2016 Gatlinburg fire, she gave every resident 1k a month, for the year, to help them recover. She takes care of her people and everyone is her people.

Bee Gees do the song as well...Cheers.

Yes Ghetto Super Star!

Incorrect. This song was written for Marvin Gaye with an R&B sound.

@@thiscaintb4real989 Yeah, but Barry Gibb never contacted Marvin about the song and instead decided to change it to a country pop song and brought in Kenny to sing it and suggested that they needed Dolly and the rest is history :)

@@nikolacolic644 Obviously. It doesn't change the original intent.

What is her hometown? I know she grew up in the Appalachian mountains but not sure of the town ?

i second this :-)

Yep everybody knows and reacts to jolene and i will always love you. 9 to 5 and this but coat of many colors is a personnel favorite

It's her most autobiographical song.. she grew up very poor and her momma did sew her clothes. It's so well written and catchy too. Definitely (obviously) a favorite of mine too

I was thinking of that one too! ♥️

Ugh that song makes me cry just thinking about it

Rogers

Don't leave out "Lady". He needs to see how smooth Kenny is with the women.

And "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town."

Coward of the County is my favorite!

@@pattyyoung2103 I hate auto correct

One of the best songs that Dolly & Kenny did together that was written by The Bee Gees wrote & Barry Gibbs of The Bee Gees wanted Dolly & Kenny to sing it

Thanks for sharing that! Your Aunt is to be congratulated! Dolly is an American treasure!

WOW how lucky you are! It's my great dream to be able to see her in concert or at Dollywood before she retires or passes away. I am disabled so that makes things difficult both financially and logistically

THAT is still one of my all time fave songs too.

Sweet Music Man was written by Kenny Rogers.

I always thought they were more than friends at some point in time.

@@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387 Well never know. Kenny said he tried and she turned him down!

Jeri Trezak nah, Dolly stick with her hubby for 50 years, process that

@@yorkiemom6144 everyone thinks they were...she has said he was her soulmate and I believe that they were truly just friends but with a love we could all use.

I was there😀

what

@@taylorhaggard9497 : O

It was the Grammy's in 1983! In the US, it knocked Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' off the number one spot in 1983. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over two million physical copies. After it became available for download, it has also sold a further 834,000 digital copies as of January 2019.

I remember it too

I love it when Kenny and Lionel sing Lady together. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Yaaasssss!!! 😍

Definitely react to the duo at the award show, classic.

That’s my parents song lol

Watched at least 10 different reactions in the last 3 days for Lady...

I truly believe if you don't smile when you hear this song there is something wrong with you.

I later saw an interview with Lionel that made it even funnier. Lionel said the one word he had was actually "Baby", but when he met Kenny, Kenny went on & on about his current wife, repeatedly calling her a Lady, so when Kenny finally asked Lionel the name of the song, Lionel blurted out "Lady."

A truly beautiful song

Dolly is anointed

Not to forget the 5 Gambler movies featuring Kenny Rogers

AND See the Movie !

For the "typewriter" sound, she is using her nails!

She gets to show just how funny she is in that movie. But, yes - Dolly is known for her boobs and wigs. That's a perfect movie that showcases both of those. Lol.

Ghetto Superstar but white ppl wouldnt knw tht

@@kennymccormick9292 We do know that.

Your showing our age oh well it was amazing music growing up with

Great song

I always think goddess made real, but think either is apt

😎

Sheena Eastern and Kenny Rogers did the song We Got Tonight!

There is a video where dolly surprises kenny on stage. They sing we got tonight.

Tamaira Cordell Yes, The studio version is with Sheena Easton, but when Kenny and Dolly toured together, she came out on stage and did a duet with him.

Oh ok. Thanks! I'll go check it out! 😊

Tamaira Cordell you won’t be disappointed! Dolly even throws shade at Sheena in her cute little innocent way that only Dolly can do! 😊😊😊

... don't forget Deidre Hall😄❤️

This comment needs to be PINNED!

What Condition My Condition Was In.

I've seen no better Christmas special made since.

Brad Vinchattle Barry never recorded it.

I thought Robin wrote it?

@@TexasMagnolia Did they just played it in concert then?

​@@thomasmoody2016 I thought Barry wrote most of their songs? It is credited to The Bee Gees so you could be right.

Beegees wrote it for Marvin Gaye as an rb song but he turned it down

It was written by the Bee Gees and was supposed to be given to Marvin Gaye, but the first version of it was this one... The Bee Gees didn't even do a version of it until after this one.

The Bee Gee's originally wrote it in an R&B style. (*edit 1) Maurice recalled it being for Marvin Gaye, who didn't record it (some claim he turned it down, but I've found no solid source saying he ever even heard it) & Barry recalled it intended for Diana Ross. When Barry was co-producing Kenny's album, the style was reworked for Kenny, who didn't much care for it. Barry then said it needed Dolly (*edit 2) Kenny’s manager had seen her that morning & had her #. She was called & came right over (Kenny said within about an hour). Kenny said "she came marching into the room, and once she came in and started singing, the song was never the same. It took on a personality of its own.” *Edits 13Oct2020-1 to add Barry’s recollection & 2-change from Dolly being in the building to Dolly being called at home & coming right over.

@@wnsafford1854 THANK YOU!! I get so tired of people continually stating it was written for Kenny, for Kenny & Dolly.

@@thiscaintb4real989 Thank you. I appreciate that. I typically don't post unless I feel I have a reliable source. With that in mind, I edited my post today, having since found some "new" & some stronger sourced info (including an interview with Dolly & Kenny).

Yes you should watch the movie. It stars Bert Reynolds they have great chemistry. Outfits really show off her brick house. Dolly actually wrote the song “I will always love you.” It was written when she decided to leave the Porter Wagner Show. Check out some of those old clips. Also the movie “9 to 5”. A lot of fun. She is wonderful and a treasure.

Dolly originally released I Will Always Love You in 1974. She re-recorded it for Best Little Whorehouse. She hit #1 on the Country charts with it both times (a vary rare thing).

She used to sing it on her variety show in the 70s

He should do a reaction to this version. It was great. And Mya was such a hottie

Yesssssss

Thank you..

You mean "by Dolly Parton."

Yes. She is a good person. She has a heart of gold. Perfect.
