    Dolly's husband Carl Dean, who she met outside a laundromat when she first arrived in Nasville, let her know early on that she could do whayever she wanted, but he wanted no part of touring and celebrity. She does her job and goes to him. Dolly is a serious, loving, generous Christian woman. Her Imagination Library has distributed millions of books to children - I hard cover book every month from birth to age 5 - which she does to honor her father who couldn't read. Her theme park, Dollywood, employs most of her family and most if Seviere County, Tennessee. There was a devastating fire in that area a few years ago that wiped out everything people had. Dolly got her charity involved and gave all those families a guaranteed income for a time, then gave them all a $5000 surprise at the end of the program. I swear we ought to put the woman in government - she has vision & gets things done. She's an Angel on earth.

      If we had Dolly as President one of the first things she would tackle would be shelter for the Homeless, then she would make sure there were plenty of jobs, She would bring in more affordable housing for the low income, and she would also focus on education. Which are all things that need to be addressed which is something nobody has even thought about since at least 1963. We all know who was talking about all of those topics.

    Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were longtime collaborators and friends for decades, but they never dated, and in an interview in 2017, they explained why not.
    "I'm a believer that tension is better if you keep it than if you satisfy it," Rogers joked during an interview on the Today show. "And then secondly, she said no to me."
    "I'm not his type," Parton retorted before sharing that the real reason the two never got together was that he felt more like family to her than a romantic partner. "Nah. You know what, we were almost like brother and sister. And it would almost be like incest. So we just never went there."

    Someone asked Dolly if her boobs were really hers and she replied "Of course they are. And I paid good money for them!". She graced the cover of Playboy magazine as a bunny back in 1978 and still looks great at 77 today. Everything about Dolly, inside and out, is beautiful.

Noone knew how to reach her but one of the Recording Studio Workers said Dolly Parton had recorded there earlier in the Day and left her phone number in case the studio needed to contact her, The Bee gees call Dolly Parton and she rushed to the Studio. She was excited to sing a Bee Gees song and do a duet with Kenny Rogers.

    Dolly is an icon to many other icons. She's not only a phenominal singer/songwriter, she's a major philanthropist. Her net worth would be a lot more if she didn't give so much of it away. And, I read somewhere that when she writes a song, she writes the music for each instrument. One more thing, she created her image and she has never hidden the fact that plastic surgery, very expensive wigs, makeup, etc are very important to her. She once said in an interview: “It takes a lot of time and money to look this cheap, honey”.

      She's just a truly kind person. Someone told her the name of something at Dollywood was offensive, and instead of trying to defend it or say people were too sensitive (an all too common reaction), she just said she'd have it changed. "“As soon as you realise that [something] is a problem, you should fix it. Don’t be a dumbass. That’s where my heart is. I would never dream of hurting anybody on purpose.”

    Make sure you don't sleep on Kenny Roger's song called "Through the Years".
    If you have anybody in your life who has been with you through thick and thin, through happy and sad, and through ups and downs...and they're still with you to this very moment this is the song that celebrates this kind of love.
    Could be romantic love. Could be daddy's little girl. Could be the best mom in the universe. Could be your friend group that have had your back since 2nd grade. This is my favorite Kenny Rogers song because it's one of those songs that REQUIRES you to tear up, even if you hear it shopping at the grocery store. There is no better tribute to all the best people in your life.

    Yes! You were indeed thinking of "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)", the song by American rapper Pras, featuring rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard and R&B singer Mýa. Produced by Pras and Wyclef Jean, with co-production from Jerry 'Wonda" Duplessis and Che Pope, it interpolates Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's 1983 single "Islands in the Stream", as written by the Bee Gees, and samples "Get Up, Get into It, Get Involved" by James Brown.
    "Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)" is an awesome song, which was featured on the soundtrack for the 1998 film "Bulworth" starring Warren Beatty, and was released as Pras' debut solo single and the second from his debut solo album Ghetto Supastar on June 6, 1998. 🔥

The lead vocalist on the track was Robin Gibb.
      The chorus of Pra's 1998 hit "Ghetto Supastar", which in turn is a reworking of the original Rogers and Parton release, replaces the final chorus in this studio recording. 😊

    Dolly has been married to Carl Dean since they first saw one another when she first came to Nashville. I think it was 1962. He wants to be a completely out of the limelight and just live his life and he understands her career, writing music and singing, and performing and sharing her talent With millions! She is also a brilliant songwriter and businesswoman. do you need to see her bio pic called coat of many colors which is also a song. She grew up in abject poverty of the great smoky mountains in Tennessee. She lived in a log cabin with no running water and she was one of eight children; One of which died I believe during childbirth. Prior to her going out on her own, she was teamed with a musical partner Porter Waggoner. She wrote I will always love you for him. She also wrote Jolene on the same day. Elvis Presley wanted to record. I will always love you and it looked like it was a done deal till Elvis‘s manager demanded 50% of the songwriting credit and monies from the song. Parton turned him down. Parton also always said the things that Whitney did with that song made it Whitney song, but she got a lot of money because of what Whitney did with it. Dolly is simply phenomenal and she has never forgotten her people back in Sevierville, Tennessee. Her father could never learn to read, and so she founded the imagination library which gives a book a month to children from the day that they’re born until I believe they turn the age of five. Yes she’s had tons of surgeries and always wears a wig, but to me, unlike Kim Kardashian, there is still an innocence about her and her true nature and heart.

    Kenny and Dolly just had special chemistry, they said in interviews there are different kinds of soul mates and they were soul mates like a brother and sister. They did a song about 30 years after Islands called You Can't Make Old Friends and talked about their friendship. Dolly started her career doing duets with her mentor Porter Wagoner and she's sang with a lot of people in her career but her songs with Kenny were special. Kenny was married 5 times in his life, Dolly only once and still is to her husband Carl Dean, who from reports has memory issues and despite her megastar career has always stayed out of the limelight and she's protected his privacy. He let her pursue her show biz dreams and she let him enjoy his private life, he owns a paving company and she said the secret to their success was spending so much time apart and when they did reunite, they appreciated each other. Believe it or not, Dolly has said they would go out and travel in a camper together and Dolly apparently enjoys a trip thru the drive thru at Taco Bell on occasion. She is a very real person.

They were peasants and many had been descended from the Norse who had invaded their lands centuries before. Many of my ancestors just a few generations back were built like Vikings, barrel chested and apple shaped. Built for farming and fighting.

      @@spruce381 Many etymologists dispute this since the term "hillbilly" was unknown in the US until after the Civil War (first time used in print was 1898). "Hillbilly" was used in southern Scotland in the 1600's to refer to a large group of especially staunch Presbyterians who followed the preacher William Cameron and fled to the hills because of religious persecution. "Billie" was a Scottish slang word that meant companion. BTW, I am a glorious mix of Scottish (both Highland and Border Clans), Irish, English, Scots-Irish, with German Flemish and Dutch mixed in for fun. I call myself a Wisconsin hybrid since all of my ancestors were in the state before 1855. Some came from Europe and some from back east but all saw how beautiful and fruitful it was and stayed, as did their descendants.

    Islands in the Stream" is a song written by the Bee Gees and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It was released in August 1983. They didn't call Kenny Rogers the Silver Fox for nothing.

    Dolly was also friends with Kenny’s wife for many years. This song was covered by a bunch of people.but Kenny and Dolly released it in 1983 first. Believe it or not! Dolly was overweight when she was young. She went on a diet and lost the weight, but did not lose up top.same. She has maintained her weight all these years. Which shows she not only a talented singer and actress, a genius songwriter , an amazing businesswoman, beautiful, and kind, but a woman of iron will.

    Some of us met Kenny in the 60's when he was fronting a band called the First Edition. He did a song called Ruby about a disabled war veteran that struck a powerful cord with the Viet Nam generation. They also did a song I think called "condition" which went "I just checked in. to see what condition my condition is in"

You will not only laugh through the film, but you will "bust a gut" when Dolly giggles. Thank you so much for sharing your first takes on singers we have loved for many, many years. You are refreshing to watch and listen to.

    Barry Gibb (of the BeeGees) wrote this song, and that's why it's so darned good!! Now you need to listen to Kenny's songs "She Believes in Me" and "Lady." Then go listen to Dolly's song "Coat of Many Colors." Dolly lived in extreme poverty as she was growing up. One winter, Dolly needed a new coat, and her mother sewed her one from scraps of fabric. She then told Dolly the story from the Bible about Joseph and his coat of many colors. The memory of that inspired Dolly to write the song, and I doubt you will be able to listen to it without getting a tear in your eye.

    • @susieq9801

      Barry did NOT write this song alone. Barry AND Robin wrote it together. In fact the title and idea came from Robin from an Ernest Hemingway novel that Robin had just read. On their "Greatest hits-the record" it was Robin who sang this song. Robin was also the ONLY Bee Gee who had a solo #1 in several countries with "Juliet" and a top 40 hit "Oh Darling" from the Sergeant Pepper movie.

    Released in 1983, the guys from the BeeGee's wrote and composed the song for Kenny and Dolly. The BeeGee's themselves performed it also. It has been covered by numerous talents. Great Song!! A true classic!!! Dolly was married to Carl Thomas Dean at the time of this performance and many, many others. Now, I am sure he had his time thinking about all the male performers that she sang with. But that is one of the reasons he has always been in the background. Dolly's professional life and private life were always keep a good distance apart. God bless all of them, they gave us mountains of music to remember.

    Kenny and Dolly have been close friends for decades. There were always rumors of them being romantically involved but they always denied it. They recorded a song near the end of Kenny's life called 'You can't make old friends'. It's really good and shows how you can be good, strong friends and not be married or a couple.

    Dolly always admitted that nature hadn't made her like that. Even from her first wig.
    Somehow she managed to send the message, that even though she wasn't ashamed of her choices, no young women need to do the same to be beautiful. - Probably helped that she never sold make-up or clothes.

    Dolly was in her town with her mother who saw this woman , street walker in effect, and Dolly openly says she modelled herself on the look. NO ONE ever sees Dolly without the full make up and wigs but she can look as she likes as she is a superb artist, producer creator of the hit film and stage show - 9 to 5. and general business woman who aims to help her Smokey Mountain people who were very very poor. This is the drive behind her book and literacy drive. She is the real deal. PS The 9 to 5 show is brilliant.
