It was also told that the None of the Bee Gees or Kenny Rogers knew how to contact Dolly. One of the Studio workers had seen Dolly Parton earlier in the day at the Studio and had gotten her Phone Number in case he needed to contact her. The Bee Gees called, and Dolly was excited to sing a Bee Gees song and sing a duet with Kenny Rogers, that helped start a lifelong friendship.

This song was written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb (The Bee Gees). Barry gave the song to Kenny to record. They got to the studio and started recording. Kenny told Barry that he didn't like the song anymore. Barry agreed that it needed something else. After thinking for a moment, he said it needs Dolly Parton. Kenny and Dolly had never met, but she just happened to be right there in the same studio. This was recorded in 1983, and wasn't "sampled" from anyone. The Bee Gees wrote it the same year Kenny and Dolly recorded it.

The account you are giving about this song lines up with what Kenny Rogers said in a 2020 interview with People magazine, but is different from what Barry Gibbs said in an interview in 2021. "There were so many songs that were really written in the spirit of country music. “Islands in the Stream,” for instance, was written for Diana Ross, but when I agreed to work with Kenny [Rogers], he wanted to do a duet with Dolly. And so we suggested that one - we knew it was good, we knew it was potentially very strong, but we didn’t know it was a duet. So we just went to work on that, and the R&B song became a country song." In the 2020 interview Rogers said the song was written for Marvin Gaye. It is possible one of these is accounts is true or neither and they both just made up what ever sounded good at the time. Not much way to really know.

Dolly is one AMAZING Lady!!! She's done so much over the years of her life. She's in multiple movies, she sings (of course) she has her own theme park called Dollywood, she's partnered with United Way and created Dolly Parton's imagination Library where she sends children a book a month up until they are 5 years old. Both my children were part of it and they can pass them down to their own children one day. She's given so much money to so many charity's. I love her so much.

Yes! Kenny Rogers was the male equivalent of Dolly back in the 80's. When this song came out it was a huge hit on almost every chart you can imagine. And like Dolly, Kenny should be in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame too. He worked closely with artists like Lionel Richie, Sheena Easton, and was even a collaborator on the mega-hit We Are the World in 1985. You should absolutely check out some of his songs like The Gambler (maybe his biggest solo hit ever), Coward of the County, Lady (which Lionel Richie wrote specifically for Kenny), and She Believes in Me. Just by himself Kenny Rogers is a rabbit hole to go down that has no end but his duets are the stuff of legends!

Dolly is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My 2 yr old granddaughter asks EVERY day for " Down " ( Jolene ) of course what she's talking about. When Kenny was first starting out he came to the town I live in, and he didn't even sell out the high school football field. This song was written by the Bee Gees. If you ever get the chance go to Sevierville or Gatlinburg and go to the Dixie Stampede and go to Dollywood. She is such a huge part of that community, because she came from there. She actually gave each family affected by the fires that effected the area money to help them try to get through until they could talk to the insurance companies. It was $3000 or $5000 a family and she provided the library with computers and books. In my eyes she's just an AMAZING soul and I think that country music as well as just everyone she's touched in any way, has been blessed. I don't think there is a video but she has a song, that I love, with her and Kesha. The fact that she sings with all these younger audiences says ALOT. Sorry this was so long.

This song came out in 1983 and was a huge hit, knocking Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart off the Billboard Hot 100 number one spot. It was written by the BeeGees and was supposed to be for Diana Ross in an R&B style but was reworked into a country song for Kenny and Dolly. This came out when I was 5 years old and I loved it even then. In my kindergarten class the teacher was asking kids to go up before the group and sing their favorite songs, which most kids doing songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Mary had a Little Lamb, I got up and started singing this song to some very confused looks...

Since this was your introduction to Kenny you need to follow it up with the song “Lady” written by Lionel Ritchie. Sung by perfection by Kenny.

Next, check out Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Both are every bit the country royalty that Kenny and Dolly are. I recommend "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" to start with by them. You will love Conway's growl and Loretta was known to be a real "Firecracker"... Another duet worth checking out... Loretta's little sister, Crystal Gayle and Eddie Rabbitt, "Just You and I"

I love these guys together. They had such chemistry on stage and were great friends off stage too. You should watch their live performance of "We've Got Tonight" at one of his concerts. He originally cut it with Sheena Easton, and that is a great version too, but I love seeing them singing together. Also, Barry Gibb, from the BeeGees, wrote this song. He wrote a lot of hit songs.

They were rumored to be lovers for many years, but not true. They both admit to being attracted but if they were to act upon it they would ruin the chemistry. 3 must listens are we’ve got tonight with Kenny and Dolly live. And Kenny Rodgers singing lady live. Lady was written by he and Lionel Richie. But I love the way Kenny sang it. And then Kenny and dollys last performance before he passed of you can’t make old friends. He was sick by then but the chemistry and deep love and playful banter was still there. It was a magical performance

Back in the late 90s, Kenny Rogers and Sawyer Brown was doing a Christmas concert at the Breslin Center at MSU in East Lansing, Michigan. Roughly 5 miles from where I live. They put out a call for a local high school choir to do backup signing for the concert, and my sister, who was a junior or senior at the time, was one of a handful of people called up to sing at the concert. So my sister and company sang with Kenny Rogers and Sawyer Brown! Probably one of the greatest moments in her life! She said Kenny was really cool and very friendly.

If you want to hear a different sound for Kenny, listen to his singing in the pop rock group “The First Edition”. The most popular song was “I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Is In”. When Kenny started singing you signed with a label and they told you what you were going to sing. When Kenny switched to country he was asked why and he was supposed to reply “That’s success,when you can tell your label what you are going to sing instead of them telling you what you will sing.”

I've been on a Britt binge all day and heard her sing little bits and pieces, but nothing extended until I heard this at twenty minutes past midnight (It's been a long, but great day.). What I realized when I heard her sing is that I wish I attended the same church that she attends. I'd sit in the pew behind her so that I could just listen closely to her as she sang those gospel oldies.
