      I'm not sure what "Pure Kenny" is though because he was arguably a pop star as much as a country star. "Lady" was his biggest song. (Biggest song for Lionel Richie as a songwriter too.)

    Kenny Rogers was originally alone when he first tried to record this song.. He hated it...he tried singing it many different ways. Over and over... no matter what he did nothing sounded right. I can't remember where Dolly was but she was some place close to the recording studio. Somebody in the studio knew that she was around so they called her up and had her come in. of course Dolly liked the song. She started to sing some of it. And that's when they decided that maybe it would be better as a duet . There you have it

    You need to listen to Dolly's version of I Will Always Love You and, while listening to it, think about how she wrote it for her longtime musical partner (and rumoured extramarital affair) when she decided to go out on her own. She apparently played it for him at the end... Whitney obviously did an amazing reinterpretation, but Dolly's is the original and it's so powerful.
    Oh, and Kenny Roger's The Gambler is a must listen. An all-time country classic.

      I’ve never heard Dolly and Porter were anything more than singing partners. She wrote the song for him because he was resisting letting her out of their contract to go out on her own. She said she couldn’t get through to him, so she wrote this song and made him sit down and listen to it and he cried and agreed to let her go out on her own.

I always suspected that he had acted inappropriately . At that time , there was a major problem in Nashville with powerful men in country music expecting " favors " .

      She said in her biography there was no affair. She has been rumored with many men but that’s how the industry sells records and movie tickets, because gossip peaks interest. Billy Ray Cyrus said in an interview how he got upset when while working as her opening act a tabloid created an article claiming they were having an affair. Dolly called him into her dressing room and the article was sitting on the table. Billy started trying to talk to her about it and she stopped him and said “this s&@$ sells records”. She doesn’t let the stories get to her because people will believe what they want so she’s not going to waist her time on it.

I like seeing the original Kenny Roger's singing Lady in th e1980s and then I love when he and Lionel Richie sing it together when Kenny is giving him a tribute and tells a story of how the song came to be.

    Dolly and Kenny were best friends and sing a lot of Duets Over The Years. Kenny has a phenomenal voice so if you have not heard Kenny before I would recommend several songs. The Gambler, Sweet Music Man, Lucille and The Greatest.
    A lot of his songs are storytelling songs and he really sings them well. But you need to start out with The Gambler.
