HIT THE BELL & TELL A FRIEND ABOUT ME.
During one of her concerts someone shouted... I love you Dolly !!!
Dolly said, I love you too and I told you to stay in the truck !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Ghetto Superstar is the song you are thinking of. Islands in the Stream is a country classic. Thank you so much for reacting to it!!! Check out some Reba!!!
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.
The Bee Gees wrote "Islands in the Stream!" The story is Kenny and Barry Gibb were in the studio recording it and Kenny wasn't into it. Barry says, "We need Dolly Parton." They recorded several hits together.
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.
Dolly is a SAINT, pure and simple. As you learn more about her, you will understand why she is 100% a National Treasure
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
When I was a toddler, I sang this as "almonds in the street".
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 😄
they never dated or even had an affair with each other. they were true friends with awesome chemistry
Kenny and Dolly are one of the most popular duets in all of music history. They used to perform together on many songs for years in the 70's and 80's.
Dolly's goodness & sweetness comes through in everything she does.
She is a very nice person! She grew up extremely poor in a old run down house. Very thoughtful sweet person! Check out some interviews of her. She also started a book give away for children and she reads a night time story on line for children once a week which I believe she started reading to kids when the country shut down cause of covid. She has done several movies too and they are all fantastic!
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.
One of my friends worked with his brother on a couple of her studio sessions about 20 years ago...he was a nobody...said she is the real deal...she was playing a show a few years back at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa...decided that they wanted to go check out her show...she recognized him and even remembered his name...sat him and his wife up front...that impressed me that she remembers people, no matter how minor of a part they played
I was there😀
what
@@taylorhaggard9497 : O
Everybody loves Dolly. You can’t watch this performance without a big smile on your face.
Island in the stream was written by the Bee Gees for Kenny Rodgers and Pras used the melody in Ghetto Superstar.
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.
Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt did a beautiful duet together that was played everywhere, just like Islands in the Stream. Great vocals, great lyrics, and you could see they were friends enjoying performing together, just like Dolly and Kenny here.
Thanks for giving country a try.. alot of ppl hate on country for no reason... there is alot of great songs out there that country has contributed to over the yrs!!
Dolly is class. I live in her hometown. She has done so much for the community.
What is her hometown? I know she grew up in the Appalachian mountains but not sure of the town ?
Coat of Many Colors, I think it is. Beautiful song by Dolly❤
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
She's a huge helper when there's any emergency she provides an amazing amount of charity and money. Generous soul.
Dolly and Kenny were one of the greatest combinations around. Their Christmas album is something that just is needed in everyones home at that time of year
I saw one of your other vid's so decided to check out your review of Dolly & Kenny. You said you thought Dolly was a 'good person' and you're right. She has had a very long career spanning several different musical genre's, from Country, to Pop, to Rock-n-Roll. Dolly has written numerous songs which were not only big hits for her but, as you found out, one of the biggest was from Whitney Houston (I Will Always Love You). Dolly wrote the song. It made millions for her and Whitney. She is also very generous. She founded "Dolly Parton's Imagination Library", which is a book gifting program that gifts free books to children from birth to age five, within the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Republic of Ireland. So far her foundation has gifted over 130 million books to children all over the world.
Firstly, I have the pleasure of being able to vouch for Dolly Being one of the greatest human being to walk this earth. She was known for wearing flashy stage outfits MY aunt for several years was her personal designer that designed and hand sewed them I met her several times at My Aunt's farm in Mid MIchigan when Dolly visited. She is truly a national treasure in every way.
Also, She & Kenny were best of friends throughout life until he recently passed. They sang together off and on throughout the years. This song is also one of the top Duets of all time FYI
Great video bud and your assessment of Dolly is spot on she is amazing!
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
I'm absolutely loving your reactions to Dolly Parton. I'm not a country music fan in general, but I have a huge respect for this woman, not only as an entertainer, but as a human being.
Do Kenny Rogers. The Gambler and Coward of the County, and Lady, and Lucille
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
Ok, your smile when Dolly sings "losing sight of the real thing." Dude. That's a great smile!
I truly believe if you don't smile when you hear this song there is something wrong with you.
Was fortunate enough to see Kenny & Dolly together in concert 'back in the day.' They played off of each other like nothing I've seen before or since. Joyful concert that kept everyone energized & smiling throughout.
Please listen to Kenny Rogers "Lady" written by Lionel Ritchie.
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...
They were best friends and she released a song called Sweet Music Man after his passing, you should check that one out, it's beautiful.
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.
This was written by One of The Bee Gees. For years this was the number one hit love song and it’s the top karaoke song.
Kenny Rogers “the gambler” is one of the best story telling songs ever. Great lesson
Not to forget the 5 Gambler movies featuring Kenny Rogers
I get chills listening to DOLLY sing, He's Alive, about the resurrection of JESUS.
THAT is still one of my all time fave songs too.
She did one song on an Easter which is incredible. I think it was done on stage with background singers: " He's Alive."
Her voice is incredible, she looks gorgeous, and it's highly emotional for people.
A truly beautiful song
Dolly is anointed
Islands In The Stream was written by the Bee Gees and originally written for Marvin Gaye. It topped the Billboard Hot 100. The Bee Gees hugely successful themselves wrote numerous hit songs for other artists including Chain Reaction fur Diana Ross and Heartbreaker for Dion Warwick 😊
This song was written by The Bee Gees and performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton as a duet on his 1983 album "Eyes That See In The Dark". In 1998 the song was rerecorded by the Bee Gees themselves. In 2009 it was done by Tom Jones, Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones as part of Comic Relief. In 2011 it was again recorded by Barry Manilow.
Omg I remember seeing this on TV I can't remember what show this on but everyone tuned in to watch it. I feel so old, lol.
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
"Islands in the Stream" is a song written by the Bee Gees. I think the song was written for Marvin Gaye in a style suited for him & changed country for Kenny. Bee Gees have also recorded the song.
This was written by The Bee Gees for Dolly and Kenny. They recorded it sometime later.
She's a wonderful, gracious, intelligent, open-minded and very generous lady.
Kenny and Lionel Ritchie singing 'Lady' together (live version)!! The story Kenny tells about Lionel pitching is just too funny!!
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." Link to Kenny & Lionel duet; th-cam.com/video/vc8IN-FnRic/w-d-xo.html
Kenny Rogers was making music since the sixties, at least. One of the first songs I ever heard from him was Just Dropped In ( to See What Condition my Condition Was In ), which was released in 1967, or '68. He also recorded Lady, which was written by Lionel Ritchie. He's probably best known for The Gambler and Coward of the County.
Your showing our age oh well it was amazing music growing up with
Great song
Kenny sings "LADY" written by Lionel Ritchie.. Dolly sings with PTX, Jolene. Yes, someone took parts of this song written by The Bee Gee's

The song was written by the BeeGees
One of my FAVORITE Christmas songs is from Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers- “A Christmas to Remember”.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton You Can’t Make Old Friends. You should watch the video that had then talking about there friendship and singing the duet. Brought me to tears.
Hi my name Jessica and I'm 27 years old and love dolly and Kenny so much I was raised up listening to all this music and more ..❤
This song came out in 1984, She was in her early 30's she is 74 now and still going strong! Her had 3 #1 hits in 2020!
brick house!!😂you crack me up!! Commodores!!✨🖤
I always think goddess made real, but think either is apt
😎
Dolly started a program for children in Tennessee called Imagination Library that sends any child signed up a book every month from birth until they start school. It’s now going nationwide and she also sends some of the children video messages on their birthdays. She also donated a million dollars to Vanderbilt University’s COVID team that helped develop the Moderna vaccine. She is truly a national treasure. You should react to her song Coat of Many Colors. She has said it’s her most autobiographical.
Barry Gibb, wrote the music. The words. and produced it. With Dolly and Kenny!!! magic!!!
Damn I haven't heard that term in ages. "She's a brick....hoouuuse!"
Ghetto Superstar, by Pras featuring Mya and ODB, sampled Islands in the Stream.
As far as Kenny Rogers? Lady! AWESOME love song!
Nothing funnier than busting out in verse of the "original song" over the radio to the kids new favorite tune! The WTH look on their faces is glorious!
You should totally check out 9 to 5 by Miss Dolly.
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.
Kenny and Dolly performed with each other very often, and were very close friends for forever. They always radiated that bestie vibe and always sounded PHENOMENAL together.
Dolly parton and Kenny rogers are absolute country legends. You probably heard this before from the bee gees because they wrote this song for dolly and Kenny
Dolly is a lady one of the best country music ever had ❤
Two other great Country duets Loretta Lynn Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynette and George Jones
Fun fact: This song was written by the BeeGees. Kenny and Dolly made it a hit but I like the BeeGees version more.
Also, Kenny songs to check out:
Lady
Planet Texas
Lucille
Gambler
20 Years Ago
What Condition My Condition Was In
My sister and I live about 15 minutes away from her TN home. She doesn't get to just socialize often, but she loves every moment of interaction with friends or strangers. Dolly is a precious soul, loving and giving, and timelessly beautiful inside and out. Good to see your appreciation too! Hope to see your reaction to her Coat of Many Colors soon (hint hint)
I was born in 1976. They performed so much together and had such great chemistry that I thought they were married. Also, they would do Christmas specials together that would air on free networks so they became a household name. She did many great movies but Smoky Mountain Christmas you can see that really sweet side of her. Then the movie Rhinestone was awesome as she had to teach Sylvestor Stallone (NY Italian cab driver) to sing country in a Honky Tonk bar (she made a bet). It's a really funny sweet story that gets bad reviews. As for Kenny Rogers, you ever have a chance to watch Six Pack, it's another great movie where he helps a bunch of orphan kids and they race cars.
For music reaction though. Kenny Rogers - Lady (written by Lionel Ritchie)
Kenny Rodgers... Lady.... is a must... written by Lionel Ritchie.... live version!
Dolly Parton and Vanna White both drink from the same eternal youth fountain. Pat Sajak gets to have a few sips a year as well.
... don't forget Deidre Hall😄❤️
I watched dolly and Kenny sing this at the Hirsch colliseum in Shreveport Louisiana as a young girl , beautiful voices,
The two worked together often including a Christmas special. The last song they had done was written for them by tge same guy who wrote The Gambler and is called You Can't Make Old Friends which really had special meaning to Dolly after Kenny passed last year
I seen them in concert many years ago and they were definitely enjoying themselves 👏
Check out “We’ve Got Tonight” with Kenny and Dolly! Also, Dolly with “9 to 5” and Dolly with Pentatonics remake of “Jolene”.
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! 😊😊😊
Dolly is a true legend, and yes, she is that good hearted. She does a lot of good things with her money, like a program that she has, mails books to kid for free.💜
This song, was written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
I went with my momma to see the two of them... I was a teen and my momma would say just look at them... they are in love!! Hahaha ❤️Tennessee
ODB feat. Mya. Ghetto superstar is where they used this melody
This comment needs to be PINNED!
Dolly is the most polite delight.
I've met her 3x And every time she was nothing but kind.
Unbeleivable live performance...ahhh...the good ol days...I miss fun performances like this. Good reaction!! Thanks :)
Kenny Rogers: Lady (live version), and The Gambler (official video), please!!!
This song has been covered numerous times. This version is a cover. These two did a lot of duets together and appeared together a lot.
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.
I love that song My Mama used to play it all the time. You need if you haven't already heard to react to Lady by Kenny Rogers. Lionel Richie wrote it for Kenny. It was one of Kenny's number one hits. Beautiful song.
Dolly is in her seventies now and still tours the world. Looks incredible. She is also a great comedian- watch the movie “ 9to 5” and the song!
Coat of Many Colors
Kenny Rogers "Coward of the county" and "The gambler".
What Condition My Condition Was In.
The song was originally written by the BeeGees and recorded by them. They "gave" them the song. I didn't know this. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were good friends and sang a lot together. He unfortunately passed away recently.
Kenny & Dolly were great friends & i speak from experience that there are different degrees of love, you can definitely love a friend that is 100% plutonic...
This is a cover. Barry Gibbs of the The BeeGee's wrote and recorded it first. BTW, Kenny Rogers recently passed away.
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
This was the second song at my wedding...
I just saw this video the other day, which is why TH-cam recommended your channel to me. I love Dolly and love Kenny Rogers , May he Rest In Peace, and yet I rarely listen to their music. They both have powerful and yet gentle voices. Seems like a contraction, but it’s true.
You gotta love Dolly Parton. Watch the movie, Coat of many Colors. It's about her growing up so poor, her mom makes her a coat with scraps of different materials. Excellent movie!
back in the day there was a joke that went around ..... what do you call dolly in the bath tub? ..... islands in the stream
They have a Christmas special and a Christmas album from this time period. It's on of a few Christmas albums I will listen too.
I've seen no better Christmas special made since.
She has song fly like a butterfly and coat of many colors beautiful songs
" Islands in the Stream" was written by the Bee Gees in 1983 for Kenny & Dolly. The Bee Gees made their own version of it in 2001 with the final chorus of "Ghetto Supastar" replacing the final chorus on their album! (Thats probably where you heard it!)
And want to know Dolly watch any interview she's a national Treasure
Bee Gees wrote this for Dolly and Kenny, they have also performed it.
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).
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.... What a pair
That is one of many things that I do love about Country music - duets. Duets with other Country artists and duets with artists from a multitude of other genres. Now Dolly is one of those blessed singers that can harmonize with anyone. Similar artists with that talent of beautifully blended harmonies would be Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Alison Krauss, and Ricky Skaggs.
It is a sad, sad song but the vocalization will give you the chills - Vince Gill with Patty Loveless and Rick Skaggs - Go Rest High on that Mountain
Another great one for the sound and harmonies would be the live version of the Eagles - Seven Bridges Road (not Country but I was rolling with the great vocals theme)
OK, back to Country, I think that you would really like:
Dolly's Coat of Many Colors
Dolly and Vince Gill's version of I Will Always Love You
Either version of Hard Candy Christmas - either Dolly by herself or the movie version from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (which, as others have said, also had I Will Always Love You in it and I think is the better version because each line talks about what each of the girls will be doing once they leave and it doesn't make as much sense when just one person sings it, imho)
Running with the duets theme, a really great album from 1994 - Rhythm, Country and Blues, had R&B singers with Country singers teaming up for songs from both sides.
Vince Gill and Gladys Knight - Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing
Al Green and Lyle Lovett - Funny How Time Slips Away (written by Country artist Willie Nelson which is another iconic singer/songwriter)
Aaron Neville and Trisha Yearwood - I Fall to Pieces
What something a little more modern? Check out Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake live singing Tennessee Whiskey or Say Something. Chris Stapleton is a powerhouse of vocals right there. Sometimes I Cry is another great song from him.
I have more, I love music, any genre, but this is a start. My only requirement for music is that I can sing along with it, it used to be that I could also dance to it but I am getting to old for that anymore. But good luck with your channel. :)
You owe it to yourself to watch "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." A 1982 musical starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.
It was the first appearance of "I Will Always Love You," which I see you reacted to also.
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
Dolly did 'Jolene' with Pentatonix, and it won a Grammy!
I just love it that Dolly, during a chat show, proclaimed ' hey, looking this cheap costs real money'
She is a pure and true philanthropist.
Ghetto Superstar by Pras, ODB, and Mýa
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."
PRAS (MYA, ODB) Did A Song Called Ghetto Superstar That Covers This Song
'Islands In The Stream '04 was sampled by Pras feat. Mýa and Ol' Dirty Bastard's 'Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)'
Fyi Islands In The Stream was written by the iconic band of Gibb brothers known as the Bee Gees, who were also prolific songwriters.
You should check out Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton singing “ Real love.” Not to mention Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton singing “We got tonight.” Even Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes singing “Don’t fall in love with a dreamer.”
