The song is called I fell in love again last night I'm thinking that it's the makaya sisters those 3 sisters I remember that and I know I'm close on the name
This was #1 on the country charts and the billboard hot 100 .....it was also voted the best country duet of all time...... it was originally written as an R&B no for Diana Ross but later reworked as a country duet for Kenny & Dolly...... that's how versatile the Beegees were .....Barry Gibb apart from writing the song also did the demo tapes for the duo.... .
Because they performed together often and were good friends rumors about them being more than friends abounded of course, but I highly doubt they were more than rumors. I especially say this because Dolly would use the rumors to tease Kenny Rogers on stage because he would get flustered and turn red. Finally in one of their final appearances together before Rogers' death, she said something to the effect of, 'People have been saying it for years, do you want to hold them?' expecting him to get flustered and turn red, but instead he said something like, 'I think I will,' and she turned red. He finally turned the tables on her.
The Bee Gees wrote the song for Kenny. It did not sound right with just Kenny. They got Dolly to try it with Kenny and they loved it. There is a video with the Bee Gees about how they did this.
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.
The Bees Gees never recorded the song themselves, but there is a great live performance from the One Night Only concert film from the late 90s. So, if you ever want to hear it done by the guys who wrote it, there you have it!
Lionel Richie wrote Lady for Kenny. Awesome song and lyrics. The story Kenny tells is hilarious about when Lionel told Kenny he is working on song called Lady. If you can find him telling the story, it is worth the time listening to it.
Ghetto superstars chorus is the same as this song OK they were fundamentally involved with using the sound for ghetto superstar for this song for that song, so it sounds the same with the instrumentals
Not only Barry. All the Bee Gees wrote this song. Barry always gets too much credit. Robin was known to write songs in only 20 minutes. They werre all oh so gifted.
@@randyhein7324 Barry made the demo, he produced it with the bee gees team (and no one of his brothers) , Barry had the credit he deserves And Barry made songs too in 10 minutes (for example grease)
You HAVE to react to Kenny Rogers “Lady” it was written and produced by Lionel Richie. Kenny Rogers is a definite wormhole worth going down. His storytelling is unmatched.
Their friendship and partnership was beautiful. Losing Kenny in 2020 was so hard! Two videos are a must for you! First, their live performance of “We’ve Got Tonight” the way they entertained and “poked-fun” at each other was magical. After Kenny passed this video circulated. Kenny and Dolly - You Can’t Make Old Friends
When I was a teenager I sang the chorus of ghetto superstar to get my baby brother asleep. One day my dad heard me and thought I (personally) ruined this version. We each had no idea the other song existed. 20 years later we still enjoy both songs. 😎
They had such a special friendship. Their song "You Can't Make Old Friends" is a must. Watch the official music video though. It's so much more meaningfully now since Kenny sadly has passed 😞
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.
You should listen to Kenny's live version of Lady, especially the dedication to Lionel Richie. They perform it together. Definitely what i call a "laugh, cry, it's moving" song 🎵
Had the pleasure of seeing Kenny & Dolly in concert together; they toured together on/off over the years. Their chemistry was undeniable & they were so much fun to watch along with being incredibly talented duet partners. They played off each other perfectly.
I grew up in the late 70's and 80's Kenny and Dolly were my favorite artists as a kid. I was blown away when they did this collab. It was like getting chocolate in my peanut butter.
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.
💙💙💙🎼💙💙💙 ... yeppppp !! Country has gotten into your soul Britt ... and I like it !!! Dolly is gorgeous and way talented .. and Kenny is the smooth operator of the 80s 🌿🌿🔥🌿🌿
When she apologized to him it was because she stepped on his foot.😁 They were incredibly close friends. Kenny once said " If Dolly thinks it, she says it."
Oh thank goodness. I've seen this performance so many times, and I've always wondered when she said that and then moved away from him if he'd gotten handsy or something. Thank you for clearing that up!
Love your reactions. You are a joy to watch. I may be old (71) but I love great music and it does my heart good to see young people enjoying these classics. Also I am learning that lots of young artists are still finding these songs great enough to sample and share. Plus I get to be introduced to some hip hop that I never would have begun to explore without you young reactors. I was so proud I knew Ghetto Superstar. 😃😃 Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing and all your hard work with us. Peace 😊🤗😊🤗
These two made love to each other musically with this song! The chemestry between them is undeniable. Everyone who hears them sing that song is fanning themselves EVERY TIME! When she says to Kenny something like "excuse me Kenny," She implies that there is something going on! LOL In reality they were both married and deeply in love with their respective partners.
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.
if you haven't listened to Kenny Rogers sing "Lady" you are missing out. I was fairly young when it came out, but after hearing that man sing that song I had a full on crush.
Great! Another excellent duet between them is We’ve got tonight. Their banter is hilarious! He had had a hit with Sheena Easton, but you have to see the teasing!!!
This song was written by the Bee Gees and Dolly and Kenny recorded it in 1983. Check out Dolly and Rickey Van Shelton "Rockin' Years" and Dolly and Willie Nelson "From Here To the Moon and Back". Dolly will be 77 this year. Kenny passed away in 2020 at the age of 81. Check out Kenny and Home Free "Children Go Where I Send Thee".
Dolly Parton is one of the great treasures of the world. This duet made a huge smash in the culture back in the day when TV was everything. I was older before I found out that Barry Gibb wrote it. Love the Bee Gees, too!!!
Dolly and Kenny are the absolute best musical marriage of all time. Their friendship, respect and love for one another is without words I can find. Simply Amazing
Kenny started out in the late 1950's recording with "The Scholars" and then joined the "New Christy Minstrels" in 1966 which became "Kenny Rogers and the First Edition" which scored the 60's a psychedelic rocker "What condition my condition was in" made even more famous by "The Big Lebowski" cult hit movie in the 90's. In between, he had a massive country music career with hit's such as "Ruby, don't take your love to town." and "The Gambler" and "Lucille"........I've missed a lot of stuff here, but Kenny, like Dolly, is a music icon, whose impact on music cannot be overstated.
I have loved Dolly my whole life. She was my first crush. I saw her on SNL when I was like 8. That was enough, besides from what I have heard she is one of the kindest most legit people in the world.
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...
A song written by the Bee Gees Barry Gibb back in 1984. Still to this day still one of the top selling country hits all time. I saw the Bee Gees sing it in concert in 1997 in Las Vegas...GREAT VERSION!!!
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.
Kenny Rogers.. Lady (Lionel Richie wrote it for him), She believes in me and Through the years. All three of these songs I loved him years ago HE is the reason we grew up with the Cinderella syndrome.. any man sings that song.. like that.. will make any woman swoon.
Love some Dolly, but Kenny on another level. He was the King of Country in my opinion. So many great love ballads and the stories he tells..voice is golden
You need to react to dolly and Kenny’s farewell concert . When they sing you can’t make old friends. It also includes the very last time they sang islands in the stream. Dolly got emotional and Kenny passed away not too long after
I'll tell you back in my day after a date with me the woman was singing the song that they fell in love last night and that was a popular song by the macaya sisters code I fell in love again last night they did it last night 3 sisters I fell in love again last night the macaya sister
Here is a song you might like and relate too very much, it is by Brad Paisley he didn't have to be.. great story and I heard on one of your video's that you use to be a single Mom, so you would relate very well with this one. Yes it is country
@@pfcampos7041 there is a version where Dolly surprises Kenny on stage to sing it with him. She does make reference to Sheena Easton during the duet, though.
They sound beautiful together always loved Kenny rogers and dolly Parton and them seeing this song together was amazing.. I could listen to them sing together all night long.. This definitely was a very big hit song back in 1983 ..my generation...
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!
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
Dolly Parton truly is a national treasure, an absolute sweetheart! The duo of her and Kenny Rogers is legendary! One song you absolutely MUST react to of his is Lady!! Preferably the live version in the early 80's. He was in a white suit. It will melt your heart, guaranteed!!
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"
_A "shout out" from a fellow reactor... Great review!! I must echo so many other comments with the suggestion _*_"Lady"... LIVE in 1980_*_ . This is WHERE you will hear more of those gritty, raspy vocals which you refer to as red merlot, lol... This was my first YT reaction ever, 3 years ago, and I've grown so much musical awareness since then._
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.
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.
Dolly is our treasure, others can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe she had a show where she read children's stories to children. You got it right with calling her Aunt Dolly.
You should definitely check out "Lady". He did an incredible job on that song and it will definitely set a new bar for how every woman wants her husband to feel about her.
Dolly and Kenny's Friendship and Love for each other was second to none. When Kenny Past away Dolly was heartbroken. But She still going strong. We love and Miss Kenny and his Awesome Music. His song "I can't Unlove You" is Great I actually Sang it at my Sister and Bothers in laws wedding Reception.
When she says “excuse me Kenny”, idk if she made a mistake, but she’s such a professional it doesn’t even phase her and she just carries on! Another hit written by the amazing BeeGees! Kenny singing “Lady” live with his cool white suit….you’ll love it!
@@carolynnewcomb2153 You can see it on the video. He doesn't miss a beat. With her tiny feet and weighing as much as a hummingbird I doubt he even felt it. Ha!
Dolly Parton is simply a national treasure. She might be the most grounded superstar there is. Such a great woman.
National Treasure is the best title for her!
Yes she is!!
The song is called I fell in love again last night I'm thinking that it's the makaya sisters those 3 sisters I remember that and I know I'm close on the name
The song is I fell in love again last night makaya sisters 3 sisters 3 of 123

Darling, I’m an old lady. You have brought me joy and happiness through your reactions! Thank you ❤
Me Too

Kenny Roger's "Lady" should be in the line up somewhere. Great job
Lionel Richie wrote Lady for Kenny. Awesome song and lyrics. The story Kenny tells is hilarious about when Lionel told Kenny he is working on song called Lady. If you can find him telling the story, it is worth the time listening to it.
That song is pure catnip.
Absolutely!!
Lady was written by Lionel Richie

Rumor has it; a hug from Dolly can restore your soul.
I have it on good authority.
One of the most beautiful things about Dolly is the Sheer joy she has when she performs!! Such a Treasure!
This was a crossover hit in 1983, but is still the number 1 country music duet of all time.
Dolly is a treasure
Always and your a treasure too!
Simply beautiful!
I also love your reactions and comments on Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton Singing "Islands in the Stream"!!❤❤❤
Youre thinking of Ghetto Superstar. But this....this is amazing!!! Fun fact. Dolly and Kenny were voted #1 country duet of ALL time with this song!
Ghetto superstars chorus is the same as this song OK they were fundamentally involved with using the sound for ghetto superstar for this song for that song, so it sounds the same with the instrumentals
Yes Ghetto Superstar
I had totally forgotten about that song. Britt should do a reaction to it. That would be awesome!
I saw them in concert. Oh My Gosh, it was SOOOOO much fun!!!
Do you know how many hits The Bee Gees wrote for themselves and for other artists as well? It's an endless stream of them.
Pardon, The PUN, L😁L
Barry Gibb wrote the song and Dolly and Kenny made it it golden. This proves that music is a shared experience over decades.
Not only Barry. All the Bee Gees wrote this song. Barry always gets too much credit. Robin was known to write songs in only 20 minutes. They werre all oh so gifted.
@@randyhein7324 Barry made the demo, he produced it with the bee gees team (and no one of his brothers) , Barry had the credit he deserves And Barry made songs too in 10 minutes (for example grease)

It was an awards show for the song “Islands in the Stream” written by the BeeGees. One of the best pop/country songs ever!
If you want to react to Kenny I think next would be "Lady" ( preferably the live version).
Dolly is a treasure performing but you should also watch some of her interviews...so genuine..
And one wicked sense of humor on that lady!
@@MommaBird52 most definitely
This song holds the test of time because it was written by the Bee Gees and Kenny and Dolly performed it beautifully.
One of the GREATEST duets ever performed.

Dolly & Kenny knew each other. He came on her tv show in the 70's. They sang together. You can find it on yt.
She saying group from 90s wrote another son,and used some of this song. I think

I heard she was singing over him
I always assumed it was because she had jumped cues.
And she never missed a beat.
She apologizes for taking the high note too early on the word “what” in the second chorus.
That note comes on the second repeat.
Love your reactions. You are a joy to watch. I may be old (71) but I love great music and it does my heart good to see young people enjoying these classics.

I was BLESSED to see Kenny in concert 6 times and TWICE with Dolly! AMAZING! Islands In The Stream released in 1983 was number 1 for many weeks!
This was CMT’s #1 in the 100 greatest duets. Their final duet together You Can’t Make Old Friends is a beautiful song that sums up their relationship.

Hi Britt, the first Kenny Rogers sung song that I ever heard was: " Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) " - The First Edition
Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees wrote this. The Bee Gees sang some of this song during a recorded concert.
if you haven't listened to Kenny Rogers sing "Lady" you are missing out. I was fairly young when it came out, but after hearing that man sing that song I had a full on crush.
Barry Gibb of the BeeGees wrote this. He also wrote Chain reaction for Diana Ross. Lionel Richie wrote Lady for Kenny rogers.
Great! Another excellent duet between them is We’ve got tonight. Their banter is hilarious! He had had a hit with Sheena Easton, but you have to see the teasing!!!
I may be mistaken but I thought We've Got Tonight was with Sheena Easton...

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...
A song written by the Bee Gees Barry Gibb back in 1984. Still to this day still one of the top selling country hits all time. I saw the Bee Gees sing it in concert in 1997 in Las Vegas...GREAT VERSION!!!
when you said 'when i hang up this phone its gonna come to me' took me back to the old days
Kenny Roger's and Dolly Parton had a huge chemistry. Dolly Partons her music.
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.
Kenny Rogers.. Lady (Lionel Richie wrote it for him), She believes in me and Through the years. All three of these songs I loved him years ago HE is the reason we grew up with the Cinderella syndrome.. any man sings that song.. like that.. will make any woman swoon.
Love some Dolly, but Kenny on another level. He was the King of Country in my opinion. So many great love ballads and the stories he tells..voice is golden
Kenny the King of Country? King George I and King George II might have something to say about that.
I love how you notice all the little details of people. Your a very observant person who is beautiful inside and out. Great reaction 😁
These too always had a special connection
You need to react to dolly and Kenny’s farewell concert . When they sing you can’t make old friends. It also includes the very last time they sang islands in the stream. Dolly got emotional and Kenny passed away not too long after
She is special. Great talent and amazing personality
I'll tell you back in my day after a date with me the woman was singing the song that they fell in love last night and that was a popular song by the macaya sisters code I fell in love again last night they did it last night 3 sisters I fell in love again last night the macaya sister
Here is a song you might like and relate too very much, it is by Brad Paisley he didn't have to be.. great story and I heard on one of your video's that you use to be a single Mom, so you would relate very well with this one. Yes it is country
Love this song , 100% guarantee Britt loves it !!!!
"We Got Tonight" is another fun duet between Dolly and Kenny.
I may be mistaken but I thought that duet was with Shena Easton...
@@pfcampos7041 It was released with Sheena Easton, but he and Dolly sang it at one of their concerts together, and it was a great live performance.
@@pfcampos7041 there is a version where Dolly surprises Kenny on stage to sing it with him. She does make reference to Sheena Easton during the duet, though.
Great reaction to what is widely considered to be the greatest duet of all time.
I am pretty sure Conway and Loretta are up there too, especially since they worked together more often..
I remember watching this live on tv when I was a kid. They are both national treasures!!
One of my favourite songs is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers… it tells a story. You’ll love it!
They sound beautiful together always loved Kenny rogers and dolly Parton and them seeing this song together was amazing.. I could listen to them sing together all night long..
This definitely was a very big hit song back in 1983 ..my generation...
This was a great song, written of course by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees... who are brilliant themselves 😘
Had no idea it was remade! I LOVED this duet and that duo! Seen them in concert!
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!
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
One of my all time favorite songs - of any genre! Dolly Parton is one of our most important artists, ever.
Two supremely talented vocalists as well as performers and not all are BOTH
Dolly Parton truly is a national treasure, an absolute sweetheart! The duo of her and Kenny Rogers is legendary! One song you absolutely MUST react to of his is Lady!! Preferably the live version in the early 80's. He was in a white suit. It will melt your heart, guaranteed!!
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 couldn't hit that "subscribe" button fast enough! Somebody else who notices the fashion as well as the wonderful singing!
This was written by the Bee Gees.
Unfortunately it was dear old Barry who worked his magic on this one as well, wasn't it... He did a decent job on it though, di'nt he...
_A "shout out" from a fellow reactor... Great review!! I must echo so many other comments with the suggestion _*_"Lady"... LIVE in 1980_*_ . This is WHERE you will hear more of those gritty, raspy vocals which you refer to as red merlot, lol... This was my first YT reaction ever, 3 years ago, and I've grown so much musical awareness since then._
Lol they literally got an award for best selling duet of all time with this song
Dolly Parton is an angel. In voice, in action, an angel. Song composed by the Bee Gees.
I always loved the Christmas albums they did together ❤️
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.
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.
We didn’t have women like you in this time frame. You would have been sooooo appreciated and soooo loved ❤. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I love how you love talking about Dolly! You crack me up girl!!!!
Dolly is our treasure, others can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe she had a show where she read children's stories to children. You got it right with calling her Aunt Dolly.
You should definitely check out "Lady". He did an incredible job on that song and it will definitely set a new bar for how every woman wants her husband to feel about her.
#1 Country Music duet of ALL TIME!!! CMT did a countdown of the top 100. Check it out. GOOSEBUMPS!!!
Dolly could sing the phone book and I would be enthralled.
Dolly and Kenny's Friendship and Love for each other was second to none. When Kenny Past away Dolly was heartbroken. But She still going strong. We love and Miss Kenny and his Awesome Music. His song "I can't Unlove You" is Great I actually Sang it at my Sister and Bothers in laws wedding Reception.
Dolly just seems so genuine with her manners. Every interview I've seen with her, she is so pleasant.. She is part of Americana...
When she says “excuse me Kenny”, idk if she made a mistake, but she’s such a professional it doesn’t even phase her and she just carries on! Another hit written by the amazing BeeGees! Kenny singing “Lady” live with his cool white suit….you’ll love it!
She stepped on his foot. Ha!
@@rsw1227 Oooh- I always wondered what that was about!
@@carolynnewcomb2153 You can see it on the video. He doesn't miss a beat. With her tiny feet and weighing as much as a hummingbird I doubt he even felt it. Ha!
@@rsw1227 That is the story that I have always heard, she is so polite!
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.
