I graduated HS in 1985 , and I remember this duo. Everyone secretly thought with such great chemistry that these two had a 'thing' , but alas they were just that good of friends, nothing more. Sure they loved one another, but kept it professional, RIP Kenny

My mum took me to see her live in Glasgow in 2011 and she was soooooooooooooooooo amazing. Her personality is so infectious. She's a ton of fun without being a time waster - did the whole show herself with band and no support act. She played so many different instruments and explained the songs again without seeming like it was wasting time. She is awesome. Saw Kenny a few times and he was always good too.

This is one of Bob Seger’s songs. He put it out in the late 70’s & it was a hit. Different artists have covered it but in the 80’s Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton in the mid 80’s I think & it blew up to be a big hit yet again. I love watching them together.

At 7:40 where Dolly jokes about her dress, she made a similar joke during the first episode opening of her tv show The Dolly Show in 1987. After the opening song, she told the audience what she hoped to offer them. "For you ladies, I'm going to be wearing some pretty spectacular gowns. And for you men, . . . I'm going be wearing some pretty spectacular gowns." (accented with her sweet country girl giggles) Really enjoyed your reaction on this duet. Most assuredly Dolly Parton is a National Treasure.

From Dolly on the Porter Wagoner Show from Nashville and her own song about breaking up with Porter Wagoner: "I will Always Love You" which she wrote the same night she wrote "Jolene" which Miley Cyrus, her Goddaughter, just released as well. Kenny was in a group called The New Edition who had some hits in the 1970s way before he went into solid country. He has several movies, The Gambler a western, and Six Pack about making it to NASCAR..... I'd like to see you react to Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light," to Elvis' "In The Ghetto" "If I Can Dream" and "Love Me Tender" live version where he kisses a girl or two in the audience... Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind"... "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC Oh there are so many Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" Try to do all the reactions to the LIVE vids that you can....
