Their chemistry has also sparked countless rumors of whether the two were ever an item. One of Rogers' ex-wives recently commented on what she felt about Dolly Parton. Let's find out what she had to say.

RIP Kenny Rogers, one of the all-time greats.
Who cares what some woman has to say? And this channel is shit, too.

Imagine two honorable souls just loving each other as friends. We should all be so fortunate 💜👏🇺🇸
Have you heard their song, "You Can't Make Old Friends"? Gets me every time :(

Thank you for an honest and non mudslinging article about three Class Act People: Kenny, Dolly and Marianne! RIP Kenny, and we'll always love your music and keep playing it in your memory.
Everyone were under the assumption that these two were more than friends.
Dolly and Kenny had a connection, it was a beautiful thing. Listening these two performing together was inspiring.
Hmmm
My brother used to drive Dolly's tour bus. He told me, " Dolly is nothing but a lady".
I love Dolly's tour bus. So girly, so her! Your brother is so lucky.
Wow! How cool would that be!
lovely
She does a lot for regular people that never makes the news. She is one of the few good ones
Nothing but a lady. That sounds like a good title for a new song.
Dolly Parton is an American treasure. If only everybody could have her self-esteem and self-confidence to be themselves and not care what others say or think, the world would be a better place. Dolly aint never changed who she was for nobody or to simply fit in.
I don't buy that. She did what she had to do. ????? unfortunately back in her day women just accepted that. Dolly was smart. talented. Had the body. An new to play it cool. and in time she called the shots. But now with covid. And artifical inteligence. Those days are gone.
She's a wonderful person. But look how much she changed/changes her appearance to be accepted in the industry.
I think the key in his wife not being “jealous” so to speak, is that he was truly taking care of her and her needs. It is in (most often) a place of lack in a relationship (and/or self) when you see the green eyed monster show up. He respected his wife and he respected Dolly. Stand up man! You will be missed Kenny.
Hello Belle. How are you doing?
Much respect to the X-wife in this video. She showed Kenny much respect. 🇺🇸
A friend of mine worked on Dolly’s house in LA. The guy installing the hardwood floors was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers. The first time she saw him she yelled out”Kennyyyyy” and ran over and gave the guy a big hug. Bet your ass they were all big Dolly fans after that! She’s a good sport!
"You can't make old friends " Dolly and Kenny were truly the best of friends, I for 1 think that if we all had a friendship like theirs the world might be a happier place, GOD BLESS YOU KENNY 🙏 RIP , BEST WISHES TO KENNY'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS X
Kenny is nothing more or less then a pure gentleman..always handled himself with class...r.i.p Mr. Kenny Rogers...God bless kenny .
RIP Kenny Rogers. You had been one of my favorites. You will be always remembered.
Rip Kenny. One of my favorite singer....
АМИН 😪❣️💔❣️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️!!!
I want to say he was a drunk
I met Kenny Roger's when I was about 12 or 13 ....he was so nice and it would have been easy for him to not have been THAT nice but he was. I have always remembered that too..he was just genuine :)
wish i had a chance to shake his hand and thank him he always put me in good mood if i had a bad day
Kenny Rogers was a total gentleman and a down to earth man.The music world has lost a class act, and we have all lost a legend. Rest in peace Kenny.
I’m not even old and I love him!i appreciate good singers and always heard him while my mother had him playing in the background- he’s truly a legend.
Hello, H ow are you
Sometimes we have to get our minds out of the gutter! Their duets were beautiful. Cant we just leave it at that!
I've loved Kenny Rogers and his music since he was with the group The First Edition. We go a long way back! May he forever rest in peace.
saw Kenny so many times at Harrah's in Tahoe , even when I didn't actually go into the show you could sit at the " rendezvous lounge " bar in Tahoe and see him on stage behind the bartender . Could not hear him but you could see him . Loved his show with his 1st addition band as well as well . Steve Martin was Kenny's " warm up act " for a while there also . I loved the 70's when I lived in Sacramento . There were only 4 casinos in Tahoe back then . The show stars would come down Late at night to walk around and play games . There was hardly anyone in the Tahoe Casinos in the middle of the night except for the janitors cleaning up and a few tables open . I met so many stars one on one that way . Dom Deluise , BB King , Kenny . They would just sit at talk with you . great times ...
I was in the country music business out of my hometown NASHVILLE for over 38 years first as a roadie and retired on the booking end, My job was to go to the town an act or acts would be playing in and putting up posters flyers, I did the shows for DALE REEVES , RONNIE MILLSAP, MARSHALL TUCKER, LORETTA LYNN, and many many more, DOLLY PARTON is a very friendly outgoing person who doesn't mind fans wanting photos autographs their picture taken with her, LORETTA LYNN is another star who doesn't forget were she came from her fans are like family she says, The worst two are REBA and BARBRA MANDRELL both let their heads swell up and Mandrell said those idiots who came to see her perform also gave her a big bank account, REBA is just a smartass but she comes across as a sweet gal who loves her fans and if her fans knew her for real they would leave and never buy a ticket or cd of hers,
I gave Mr. Rogers a work visa in 1977 in Calgary Alberta. I went on board their private airplane and he and Marianne were two of the most beautiful down to earth people I have ever had dealings with. Rest in piece Kenny and my condolences to you Marianne. Garry Bratland.

Lovely story

I have really good
Love Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers they are amazing miss you Kenny Rogers
that was good time
I can't stress enough how beautiful and Awsome both of them are. Keep on being AWESOME . No matter what realm you APPEAR to be on. 👍
He was a true country legend he is missed what a sad lost.
Kenny Rogers is a legend. Just hearing his name makes me want to listen to his music.
Elvisprestly
I think they just had a special friendship and loved one another like a brother and sister.
You can love someone with all your heart and soul and care so deeply about them, that you would do almost anything for them. It doesn't mean you had to be in a sexual relationship with that person. There is an old saying friends are forever! R.I.P. Kenny Rogers and may God Bless you both. Thanks for sharing a part of you with us.
Right 👍
finally, a nice ex-wife who has only positive things to say!!

@Annamarie Seaman she was asked a question you dumbass she answered and she said nothing disrespectful the wives all know about each other at this point they all grieve the man they knew
April Gosa you are so right, she spoke out after being sought out because of the passing of her ex whom she shares a son with. Mary Ann always carries herself with dignity and grace. I swear people are so hateful for no reason.
@Annamarie Seaman You sound like someone who has never lost someone who meant so much to you and yet, you sound so traumatically broken!
Panina - Earthbound Faery You are incoherent and make no sense. Where’s the logic..
It’s sad that a true friendship between opposite sexes or anyone has to be explained or “debunked”
These two legends were great friends and it made their performances together even greater and more memorable!
Ain't nobody's business...leave them be. Celebrate the joy and happiness their music brings to people.
Dolly Parton was married and I believe she is a virtuous lady. They may have had chemistry but that doesn’t mean they acted on it. People like scandal and gossip that is titillating.
Dolly been married since 1966
If they did had an affair the last thing they would do would be joke about it on camera. I have and amazing friend for years. People used to say we were together. So i do understand them well
I meet, job related, crossed paths, smiled and exchanged smiles up close, with Dolly, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt when they did the Trio album. All were friendly but Dolly was special she mingled with the little people so easily. She was pretty real that way. Linda was nice but very spoiled, and didn't mingle, but had the opportunity experiencing/observing her behaviors more due to various other circumstances.
Everyone loved Dolly she was so friendly. Unforgettable despite the flash. I believe the 2 most important people in her life was Judy and her husband. They all understood loved and accepted each other; Dolly seems loyal to those she love and know and they her, especially. Big hearted inside to people, working class or whatnot.. I'm surmising much of this ramble from the tiny glimpse I had and from how she has dealt with the public gossip about her personal and long lasting relationships despite it, she did her. Sweet.
She seems to be a very valuable friend, and those come far and few between, a blessing to have, I certainly would be happy from my assessments of her persona and actions, especially regarding her marriage and loyalty to it (and Judy) if she was a friend of mine, no doubt, she's loyal. Special.
Was she is married still over 50 years
@@ashlee895 Hello. How are you doing?
You were an AMAZING Legend, Rest In Peace, Kenny. You will be missed by so many!
I have a platonic relationship from a high school friend who is married, and I have a long time boyfriend. My friend and I love each other just like they did, but do not even think of crossing the boundaries, its just not there for me or him. Intimacy is not required to love others. I think its awesome that they had a best friend relationship as I do with my friend as our partners also have these type of friendships. Its amazing and freeing when we can love our best friends.
Madonna Martin Says a girl, lol!
I totally believe both of them. Soul mates are best kept at that for a life time instead of crossing the line and ruining everything.
R.I.P Kenny Rogers. He was one of my favorite singers along with Lionel Richie , The Bee Gee's etc..... He was Pure Country.
I've only ever been to 1 concert and it was to see Kenny . Fantastic show.
Yall Dolly and Kenny are Old Friends nothing less and nothing more. Yall just need to let them be.

I’m not a fan of people messing themselves up with plastic surgery but Dolly Parton must have the best surgeon cause she just gets better looking! 💕🥰💕
She hasn’t had as much plastic surgery as people think. She likes that people thinks that she has...
Melissa Love I was thinking the same thing,but I don’t want a peek below her neck line 😂😂
Dolly even jokes that it costs big bucks to look that cheap! 😂
@@snoopy64116 yea, i heard her say that. too funny.
SHE DOES HAVE COSMETIC SURGERY A LOT. SHE'S NOT KIDDING ABT THAT.
So good to hear no trash from our beloved favorite country music stars.
Hello Patricia Fair. How are you doing?
Mary Ann Gordon is a "Class Act." Good for her for not going on and on about certain details of her married life. So many today want to "AIR THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY" for a few dollars. Makes me sad to think about it.
RIP Kenny Rogers 🙏.
Kenny had such a beautiful voice. RIP🙏
Hello 👋 Theresa.
I watched them together in concert in1990 at Paso Robles Ca.GREAT show, RIP Kenny Rogers! I sat on the 2nd row from the stage!

Hello Maria how are you doing?
I saw Dolly & Kenny on the same stage at a concert around 2O+ something yrs ago ...they even sang Islands in the stream '....seems like yesterday ...Time just slips away.....
I bought a horse back in 2001 that was sired by one of Kenny Rogers stallions, she was a beautiful little mare too. I will miss Kenny Rogers, and my little mare too.
Hello
Let the man rest in peace, he answered that question numerous times I guess the answer he gives it's not satisfying
There's no such thing as "rest in peace" for dead people. They aren't resting, they're dead.

I can remember the same type of jaw-jackin about Porter & Dolly back in the '60's.
I remember that too. I don't think there was anything to that either.
@@MicheleMJJ
And the part that tightens my jaws is that it isn't anyone's business except the spouses.
Porter and Dolly came to my hometown in Texas for a show at a local dance hall around 1970. A friend who worked at the local Holiday Inn confirmed that the two reserved only one room and spent the night together that evening.....
@@bobbymarks2259 Porter was so creepy ugly. I can only hope he slept in a chair and Dolly in the bed.
Porter and Dolly were together he was physically abusive, that's why she left and yea she did Kenny too.
God bless Kenny
From Scotland 👍
And the fact that his ex wives speak well of him says a lot too...which is oddly refreshing since that frequently isn't always the case.
Since both were rich & famous and always in the pubic eye, I could see how they had such a special bond. Both could relate to what kind of issues & circumstances each faced that a common person would never face or could relate to.
The high-point in Kenny's Life seemed to be when he was married to Marianne. They seemed SO good together. Never quite the same after they broke up.
@Robert Gardea Yep
If I was married to Marianne Gordon,she'd have to burn the house down to get rid of me.
@@doughesson lol, She's very pretty. One of the most beautiful women in my opinion.
@@suzum5689 Hello. How are you doing?
To anyone in a relationship, the most important thing in any relationship is trust without trust the foundation of your relationship is sure to crumble and collapse !!

Great Singer & also a very good Photographer! I think, a good man also! RIP
Kenny and Dolly give new meaning to This Little Light of Mine
Great artists never die. Just one lyric and they are still there. ...... never out of aces now. 🤠
Great legendary. We will miss and memory you forever and ever. Peace, Peace. Peace.
When I was a teenager (about 13/14yo), I loved their duet "Island in the Stream, that is what we are . . . ". Then, I pencil-drew Kenny Rogers face. My teacher hung it on our class board wall under Arts & Crafts. It must be damn good to get that hung for all to see.
I was born and live in Singapore. Country music was not a thing for me. However, this song stuck to me. I am 50yo now.

What an awesome ex-wife. Could all wives that were treated well while it lasted be of the same mind. REMEMBER THE GOOD!
How wonderful! They were onstage lovers nothing more nothing less! Fab! Xx 🥰
I refuse to believe Dolly would be let alone become a homewrecker, she wouldn't let it get tht far, let alone ruin a good friendship ❤🙏✝
I agree
@Nene Loveless 🤔 I guess other races are white thn,when they're it!🤷♀️😄😅😂🤣
You have no clue what dolly would do. You don't know that women good grief! Lolololo
She is too classy to do something like that.
Wow verry is missed from, myself..in my heart nd soul always..love Dolly too...they were so inspireing, together..in peace rest his soul..
Hello gorgeous how are you doing
How to keep a man you love for life:
have him as your best-friend and never sleep with him
Not easy to do !!
I am agree what you said.
That's called "cucking." No thanks!
@catmodelt how sweet.
@catmodelt awe. To love.
He was so inspiring and loved his music always i enjoyed listening to his music and will continue through my years RIP Kenny Rogers
He was he great man Ruth long live Kenny Rogers, hope you doing good?
Dolly just have fun they never did nothing both have big hearts.
Timothy Lindman my family runs a trucking company and my father did a lot for entertainers out of Nashville hauling their stage equipment. He did all Kenny’s back in the early 80s late 70s. Dad said kenny and dolly had a lot more than friendship. Let’s just say he walked in at a bad time lol.
With Dollys body back in the day you would have had to peel me off her to get me on stage.
Dolly, I pray for your healing and loss!!! I love you and wish you could know what you’ve done for me for 53 years. Your talent and artistry I believe has helped to save my life.there were so many times your music is all I have. Be Blessed.
Hello Deanna how are you doing!!
@@larrybill2661 I’m doing good . Getting over a fractured spine. How are you doing today??
That nice to hear from you
I'm doing great and nice
So where are you from?
Why did Kenny have so many face lifts? He was handsome they way he naturally looked.
He could afford it, and people sometimes get self-conscious, especially if they are in public.
But ya, so many people get it when they don't have to, especially when you go to bad plastic surgeons and it just looks off.
He looked better without plastic surgery. Dolly too.
I thought so too 😄
It's hard to age in the entertainment business. You hang around long enough, everyone keeps getting younger and younger. I'm sure part of him felt like he needed to look young to stay relevant, which is too bad because he was a legend anyway.
2 for 1 discount from Dolly's favourite plastic surgeon.
Proof that it is possible for a man and a woman to be very good friends and be platonic, not romantic. It's all about respect for each other's marriages and true emotional maturity.
Nice vid.
Kenny has one of the nicest crypt/memorials I've ever seen.
This was a good video. :)

Love you gone but not forgotten may your soul rest in peace legend love you bless
I understand that type of relationship Kenny and Dolly had because I had the same with a good friend.
From the instant we met as teenagers we knew there was a deep bond which couldn't be explained.
He was like a kindred spirit soul mate because we could feel it and understand each other without having to say anything...it came by just looking into each other's eyes.
If I left the room we were in he felt empty and vice versa yet both of us had separate family lives.
It's was a wonderful feeling every time we met.. however there was a line we didn't or couldn't cross for fear of losing that special and unique connection.
It was what it was..a divine connection that crossed over with us as we chose to come to experience life on Earth...and to which will go back with us when we return home. 🙏
Beautiful people making beautiful music
🌹All indeed he will indeed be missed‼ I grew up on his music in the 60s and I have not stopped listening to him. The man was fine😄😅‼Well Kenny, I 🙏you will rest peacefully. Thanks, for all of your great music🧡🌹‼
