Two superstars that can give a live performance that sounds just as good as their recording. No auto tune, no fancy production. Just two incredibly talented performers.
The audience should have been on their feet and giving Dolly and Kenny the biggest Standing Ovation of their lives! No performers like this anymore. Two sublime irreplaceable star studded and talented individuals. Just love them. This is their song always … Pure Americana! ❤️
Dolly's way of singing and her energy keeps the audience alive and kicking. No dull moment with her performance. They match well. Can't get enough of this song. I just love the song.
May the peace of God rest upon those who listen to this song. Who is still listening to it in 2024? I want to tell the person who is reading this message, that I wish them in 2024, a good life, blessings, peace and harmony, that you know that you deserve the best, that you are the best
I remember when this first came, my (then) wife and I danced to this at our wedding - this was OUR song! 8 years she’s been dead and I still remember that dance like it was yesterday. Love you all ❤️
i am sorry as well. but you got a once in a lifetime chance to spend life with a great person. hope youre doing well. much love to you as well. i couldnt imagine how to get through that, you tough sob
Elia Clemente .. dolly and Kenny didn’t lip sync in this , however back then a lot of artist did, go back to solid gold, soul train ,America bandstand and mid night special. It happened then and will continue. By the look of your pic I say you were that decade, because I am as well.
Such a natural, powerful duet. I like how right in the middle of singing Dolly says "excuse me kenny!" Both artists at the top of their craft, complete professionalism with that genuine personal note/ friendship/ intimacy. Probably the absolute best version of this song.
@@karlsmith2570 Lol awesome! So cute these two are! I didn’t catch her stepping on his foot and was trying to figure out why she had said excuse me Kenny 😂👍.
I'm watching this after the announcement of his passing. And it is funny, because there was always rumors for years that him and Dolly were real lovers, both of which consistently denied. Both of them consistently expressed genuine love, adoration and respect for each other as people and artists, without the romantic entanglements and to be honest, I find that more beautiful.
My dad is a giant metalhead and he thinks all other music sucks, however when this is playing and mom and him are in the car together it turns into a karaoke mobile. You can just feel the love in the air. Almost maried for 25 years and still going strong :)
@DaFuMiquel I'm happy for your mom and dad. ❤ This also inspires me and my partner. Please watch our live acoustic version of this song : czcams.com/video/KiZCndsXW-k/video.html
i agree even though i didnt grow up to his music i love his songs expecialy this song this was my nans faviourte song and she has passed and this song is truly amazing but now kenny has passed it just makes the song sadder to me and if you play the song in 0.75 playback speed i find its alot better to listn to i think everyone will agree kenny will be missed
Fucking right. I'm a Hispanic city boy and I'll take Dolly, Kenny, George Jones, Kitty Wells, Conway Twitty, Randy Travis, and countless others any day over modern rap.
She is a national treasure.and a living legend .if your listening Dolly,and if you decide to do some concerts in Europe we would love to see you back in Ireland again.best wishes from the" Emerald Isle " ☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪💚💚🇺🇸🇺🇸.
I was thinking he copped a feel just before that moment...."maybe this is the year...." Her cuteness is overwhelming and this is a true treasure of a song.
No one could have done this song better then Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. This song will go down in history as a great duet done by two of the greatest voices ever to sing... Rest Easy Kenny
When I was 7 my mom took me to Dollywood, and Kenny Rogers was there to do a concert with Dolly. My mom sent me up to the stage with a gift for Dolly when the concert started because Dolly is her favourite musician ever, and Kenny pouted and went backstage when he realized I didn't have a gift for him. He was so funny about it you would have thought the entire scene was planned out beforehand. It's one of my favourite childhood memories! RIP Kenny!
When Kenny died she was “heartbroken “, not because she had lost a lover, more because she had lost a very dear friend whom she loved more like a special brother. RIP Kenny!
I truly feel like having lost someone very dear. Kenny was there with his voice through my young years, since late 1970's. Peace to his soul. He must have had a great one. The honesty in his singing always showed that.
What’s crazy about her voice and will always boggle my mind , is how her voice is not inherently powerful, but somehow she can come across as singing a whisper or complete vocal powerhouse in the same breath .
No background dancers, no flashing lights, no skin show, no vulgar dance moves, just two naturally gifted singers enjoying their song. Pure magic! This song will remain eternal. Two superstars that can give a live performance that sounds just as good as their recording. No auto tune, no fancy production. Just two incredibly talented performers ❤❤💕💕
Michael R is harmonizing hard? I’m a naturally gifted singer (perfect pitch etc.) but I thought harmonizing was something everyone could do. Although looking back on it, there have been times where my friend would be singing something and there’s not really a set harmony because it’s a solo song but I would harmonize with it anyways just for fun, and they’d be like “how’d you know to sing that? Those harmonies sounded so good!” But I just thought “it’s just a 3rd...”
What a beautiful country music song of all time. Barry Gibb is such a talented song writer. He has outdone himself with the lyrics and music for this song!!!
They are surely damned, cursed, woe-be-gotten. They are like lost sheep on a mountain-side, with thunder and lightening crashing all around them, and the shepard at the foot of the mountainside, with his van, ready to take them to the slaughterhouse as soon as the storm abates.
dude stfu, we have it so much better than you guys. We can access any song from any era, without ever having to buy a record, leave the house or wait for it to come on the radio to tape it.So tell me how your era was so much better?
By getting out there to meet real people for one. The fun of actually taping a song, and when we bought a record, we actually created jobs in record shops etc.
magic skills is the "me me gimme gimme now" generation. Yes you can download music instantly, but the music is garbage. Yes the 80's were awesome. People thought about more than just themselves.
KENNY RODGERS: A TRIBUTE Dear Kenny, Even though I was “The Gambler”, And a “Coward of the County”, Eventually, “You Decorated My Life” With “Islands in the Stream”. Today, I join Dolly Patton in whispering: “But You Know I Love You,” For we thought we had “Got Tonight” To enjoy the “Blaze of Glory” As we reflect “Through the Years” To testify the power of “Buy Me a Rose”. But alas! All we can do today is dream, Yet you told us that: “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer” For “Love Will Turn You Around” Even though “She Believes in Me”. The world rejoiced on August 21, 1938; But March, 20, 2020 is a sad day For a life of about 82 years has ended.... Yet, “The Greatest Gift of All” Came through you, for: “Once Upon a Christmas”, You were our “Evening Star”. Like “Lucille”, You picked a sad time to leave us, Rodgers! What a “Buried Treasure” we have lost! It is hard for us to believe you are gone! Even "Every Time Two Fools Collide", Your " Handprints on the Wall" are clear And your "Real Love" still tells us that "You Can't Make Old Friends". REST IN PEACE
Definitely" Coo Doos" to the Bee Gees I love this song and to tell you the truth I didn't know the Bee Gees wrote this song lol learn something new every day it was probably before I came along in the 70s?? Anyone ?? Anyways Thank You. GREAT SONG!!!
No need for fancy dance moves, video projections, or distractions just a great melody and two fabulously charismatic singers relating with joy. Perfection!
For my wife Meldan - When we married so many years ago we made a pact that it'd never end in divorce, but rather a fight to the finish and the winner take all. Well we're still together and still enjoying life and each other. Love ya, Babe
Barry Gibb, a songwriting genius. You can hear the Beegee's right throughout the tune, and these guys just take it and freaking run with it. Fantastic version and man, this song was huuuuugggeeeee.
This was their best version together ever......she was crisp, energetic and in total command,...her southern charm is mesmerizing......I feel like moving to Tennessee now!
oh man just found he just passed away...sucks knowing ppl you "know" growing up are passing away... :( i was a 10 year old boy--vietnamese refugee when i came to this country (almost 40 yrs ago) and heard this song and just liked it...not knowing a lick of english but good music just transcend
Rest peacefully Mr Rogers. As the song says, now is the time for us to 'rely on each other' and heed the measures to stop this virus. Stay safe people. ❤️
March 2020, by far the cutest thing ever is dolly doing a little giggle. Im thirteen and this is my second favourite song, being beaten by 9 to 5, obviously.
There is so much sweetness in this world. Some songs are almost too much. They might be played a lot, yet they're so sweet! Soak it up - even with this shit going down right now, we're lucky to be alive.
One of the best live performances! Dolly even had a bloody scalp because of a misplaced Bobby pin in her wig. She didn't even flinch. 100% showmanship! Dolly is my second cousin. And super proud.
My ABSOLUTE favorite duet, Kenny and Dolly! I am sad that we will not hear them sing together again is THIS life time but I look forward to hearing them on the other side. It will sound heavenly! 😍
Dolly Parton makes me feel so much better about everything. She’s such a beautiful soul. I have endless respect for her talent and the way she’s tastefully portrayed herself with feminine power and grace while always commanding respect and never losing poise for a single moment.
The Bee Gees really knocked it out of the park with their writing, and Kenny and Dolly were beyond perfect to perform this song. Everything about it works.
Can we have some respect for the Bee Gees for writing this song and getting these two legends to sing it!
The Bee Gees are responsible for dozens of iconic songs, sung by legends like Barbra Streisand. They were and are some of the world's best.
I was just wondering who wrote it x
Wow,I did not know that and I live in Australia
Saw BeeGees before all brothers died in Cincinnati! A hell of a concert in Cincinnati!
No
Anyone in 2024❤
I love this song

I'd love to see Barry, Dolly and Kenny do this song together just once.
Barry's voice would've definitely added to the song@@keithplumley2054

So is her chest.

True legend.
Same here. They are really enjoying themselves on the stage. Makes me happy.
Me too😥
Dolly's way of singing and her energy keeps the audience alive and kicking. No dull moment with her performance. They match well. Can't get enough of this song. I just love the song.
Great song. If you watch the shots of the audience, almost no one is applauding. It seems to have been added later.
Fantastic song, Fantastic duo. I love this song and can never hear enough of it. Love you Dolly and Kenny.😊
Yup I fell in love three month's ago.
Ali njen ovaj dečiji osmeh. Preslatka je...
No one ever rocked a grey beard better than Kenny. RIP

I was watching a few reaction videos to some Kenny songs, and they all commented how he was rocking the beard, and they were right.
hell yeah!!
That is a hell of a beard
No truer words have been spoken.

Aww, so sad.
My deepest condolences on your loss
Can't stop smiling the whole duration of this video.

No lip syncing here. When artists could sing and preform. This chemistry is amazing.
Elia Clemente .. dolly and Kenny didn’t lip sync in this , however back then a lot of artist did, go back to solid gold, soul train ,America bandstand and mid night special. It happened then and will continue. By the look of your pic I say you were that decade, because I am as well.
It's the little giggle when she says, "excuse me Kenny" and asking if they should do it again that really sells that live performance. Love it!
Sounds better live then the recorded record !!
jimmy Fallon miley cyrus
Elia Clemente so right!!! The real thing!!
Kenny Rogers was a very attractive man. He pulled off the gray hair look like no other.
Dolly Parton is eternally beautiful
They were pure magic on stage
R.I.P KENNY ROGERS , THE COUNTRY IS HEART BROKEN , LIONEL RITCHIE AND DOLLLY MUST BE CRYING LIKE US.
I'm so sad 😢
@ I cried when I heard Kenny passed! He was one of my favorites!
Yes, they were all very close......😢
Yes, they're all very close
So sad rip Kenny
Who's here after finding out about Kenny's passing?
RIP
me 😔
Me too. Love all his songs. Another legend lost :-( Rest in Peace, Kenny
Me. RIP Kenny
😓😓
May he rest in peace.
I wonder if Dolly and Kenny know how happy this video makes people even today?
I am sure they do, they love singing it! Will always love this song!
Yes they do
Healthy MBS brings back such good times. Just good old fashion singing entertainment no one trying to be sensual or twirling.
I like jimmy fallon and her god daughters rendition better
I still smile all the way through the video.
The best live performance ever! Such incredible talents, and awesome voices! Kenny, Dolly and The BeeGees, how can we be wrong?
❤
Her little laugh just shows how much she loves performing and you can tell how genuine it is
Yeah, love her.
She can act on the stage :)
Its adorable! Wish i could meet a women like that!
LOVE her!!!!

Such a natural, powerful duet. I like how right in the middle of singing Dolly says "excuse me kenny!" Both artists at the top of their craft, complete professionalism with that genuine personal note/ friendship/ intimacy. Probably the absolute best version of this song.
Dolly mainly said "Excuse Me, Kenny" because she'd stepped on his foot
@@karlsmith2570 Lol awesome! So cute these two are! I didn’t catch her stepping on his foot and was trying to figure out why she had said excuse me Kenny 😂👍.
Thank you!
💯
@@karlsmith2570 no! Hahaha she said that because she did the riff “that is WHAAAAT we are” too early (it supposed to be in the final chorus).
Theres never been a more iconic and inspirational duo such as these two.
You're not wrong there
They were great together. Great singers together
Sadly, as of March 20, 2020 there will never be another proper live version of this song.
Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers make a beautiful couple .
The Bee Gees wrote so many iconic songs. Some of the greatest songwriters ever. Late 70's/Early 80's they were at the top of their game.
You're exactly correct. Kudos!
1qqq
Absolutely genius….Bee Gees are one of the greatest…hugely missed these days.
Barry Gibb was the sole creator as allways, & the one that suggested Dolly, when Kenny was annoyed w/ the song singing it by himself...
I was always a big 🐝 Gees fan and I always will be, but I ❤ ed this 🎵 before I even knew they wrote it.
I'm watching this after the announcement of his passing. And it is funny, because there was always rumors for years that him and Dolly were real lovers, both of which consistently denied. Both of them consistently expressed genuine love, adoration and respect for each other as people and artists, without the romantic entanglements and to be honest, I find that more beautiful.
David Ober ❤️❤️❤️
David Ober “island in the stream that is what we are, no one in between, how can we be wrong?
I always though they were husband and wife. Until the age of Google did I realize not
Yes, much like Leo and Kate in the acting sphere. Many of us thought it, wished it, maybe even hoped for it, but it was still beautiful.
No. Kenny always wanted a relationship but Dolly refused. She knew it would just be a fling. She was married once & still is. He was married 5 times.
Rest In Power Kenny Rogers 😇💞 Sunrise: August 21,1938 Sunset: March 20, 2020 💞
People don’t make music anymore 😢. Back when you felt that artists cared about their fans and not just the money and put out a pure product
My dad is a giant metalhead and he thinks all other music sucks, however when this is playing and mom and him are in the car together it turns into a karaoke mobile. You can just feel the love in the air. Almost maried for 25 years and still going strong :)
Every man has a soft side, this was my wedding song. I have a huge soft spot for this one.
DOPE!!👍

Well to be fair Barry wrote 98% of them. And this is probably in the top ten. But it's not the right time for this discussion.
@@TravelinBand747 He is the greatest. Better than George Martin better than Arif Mardin and on par with Brian Wilson.

Facts!

Was born is '94 but wished I was born in '60, missed out on tons of great hits
The two years shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

KENNY RODGERS: A TRIBUTE
Dear Kenny,
Even though I was “The Gambler”,
And a “Coward of the County”,
Eventually, “You Decorated My Life”
With “Islands in the Stream”.
Today, I join Dolly Patton in whispering:
“But You Know I Love You,”
For we thought we had “Got Tonight”
To enjoy the “Blaze of Glory”
As we reflect “Through the Years”
To testify the power of “Buy Me a Rose”.
But alas!
All we can do today is dream,
Yet you told us that:
“Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer”
For “Love Will Turn You Around”
Even though “She Believes in Me”.
The world rejoiced on August 21, 1938;
But March, 20, 2020 is a sad day
For a life of about 82 years has ended....
Yet, “The Greatest Gift of All”
Came through you, for:
“Once Upon a Christmas”,
You were our “Evening Star”.
Like “Lucille”,
You picked a sad time to leave us, Rodgers!
What a “Buried Treasure” we have lost!
It is hard for us to believe you are gone!
Even "Every Time Two Fools Collide",
Your " Handprints on the Wall" are clear
And your "Real Love" still tells us that
"You Can't Make Old Friends".
REST IN PEACE
I love this thank you for writing it

Mrs. Smith....agree exactly!!! Meaning we don't need sluts like Beyonce & the others slutting on stage instead of just singing great music!!
@@trumpgirl440 That's because most of today's "music stars" couldn't really carry a tune in a bucket.
Those aren't distraction, those are productions.
@@trumpgirl440 Shut the fuck up lol
Hilarious! The energy of the two superstars come together, smash, but keep it smooth, all at once! One of the best duets ever.
For my wife Meldan - When we married so many years ago we made a pact that it'd never end in divorce, but rather a fight to the finish and the winner take all. Well we're still together and still enjoying life and each other. Love ya, Babe
I love that... a fight to the finish!
God Bless and be with you both!
Love it 💙💙👥👥🙏🙏🙏
izmir55izmir awe you both won the best lottery of all 💕💜❤️💜

"The Gambler" has played his final hand. R.I.P. Mister Kenny Rogers. And thank you for the music.
Love form holland too this kind of music
Their voices go brilliantly together
Ever seen chemistry beyond Kenny and Dolly !
Who came here after the announcement of Kenny Rogers death? May his beautiful soul rest in perfect peace.
Barry Gibb, a songwriting genius. You can hear the Beegee's right throughout the tune, and these guys just take it and freaking run with it. Fantastic version and man, this song was huuuuugggeeeee.
I grew up my whole life only knowing this as a Bee Gees song.
Is also co-written by Robin and Maurice as well.
0:41 that verse Kenny sings is so beautiful...its timeless
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SONG WRITERS EVER! THE BROTHERS GIBB!!! THEY HAD PURE LOVE AND ROMANCE WITHIN THEIR HEARTS!!! ❤❤❤
"The Gambler," Will Never Be Forgotten....
Cantava muito, descanse em paz.

Two of the best voices ever -and together - Simply Fabulous Performers !!!
Hello Barbara
How are you doing today?
This was their best version together ever......she was crisp, energetic and in total command,...her southern charm is mesmerizing......I feel like moving to Tennessee now!
Pure magic on stage together and owning the moment
Dolly’s voice is uniquely beautiful. With regards from Singapore.
oh man just found he just passed away...sucks knowing ppl you "know" growing up are passing away... :( i was a 10 year old boy--vietnamese refugee when i came to this country (almost 40 yrs ago) and heard this song and just liked it...not knowing a lick of english but good music just transcend
Glad you're here.
Will never stop listening to it has a memory for My dead Husband Denvor Pinnock of Hanover Jamaica
Rest peacefully Mr Rogers. As the song says, now is the time for us to 'rely on each other' and heed the measures to stop this virus. Stay safe people. ❤️
Always rest in peace Kenny Rogers you are the best
Best wishes to you
Am here ..so unfortunate .I loved Him and His songs too.May His soul RIP
March 2020, by far the cutest thing ever is dolly doing a little giggle. Im thirteen and this is my second favourite song, being beaten by 9 to 5, obviously.
My personal favourite still is; Jolene.
May his soul rest in peace ,your songs we will always enjoy
There is so much sweetness in this world. Some songs are almost too much. They might be played a lot, yet they're so sweet! Soak it up - even with this shit going down right now, we're lucky to be alive.
You got some timing.
RIP Kenny Rodgers 🙏
I live in Atlanta, one mile from Kenny's grave in Oakland Cemetery. I drive by everyday on my way to work and wave at him.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As you pass can you tell him him can you tell him how much we love him and miss him.
It will be cold , sad bleak day when Dolly leaves this world.
I so so dread that day when we loose Dolly! Miss Kenny, but Dolly is such a force of nature! Have always loved her!
One of the sweetest love songs, ever. Kenny and Dolly had a real chemistry here. RIP, Kenny.
One of the best live performances! Dolly even had a bloody scalp because of a misplaced Bobby pin in her wig. She didn't even flinch. 100% showmanship! Dolly is my second cousin. And super proud.
You say that, and if you look, on the lower right side it looks like she's bleeding through the wig.
@scooterdover2771 Yes I mentioned that. Lol
She probably had so much adrenaline singing that song she didn’t even realize she was bleeding. Gives me goosebumps hearing them!
Peaked at #1 on the US Top 40 Billboard Hits, the song spent 18 weeks on the charts reaching the top position on 10 September 1983.
And it gave The Bee Gees another #1 song this time as writers.
Farewell Mr Kenny Rodgers, always remembered, heaven will sound so glorious.
It a pity we come to leave the earth but I cry when good once left
This social distancing has me sobbing watching Kenny and Dolly 😭
My emotions are all over the place.
RIP Kenny Rogers, you handsome devil
My social distancing has me watching it every few days :)
Yeah, what a legend.
Yes I'm the same I have convinced myself that they were in love and together when they sung this song.. Never seen such chemistry!!!!!
I'm convinced they are in Love
My ABSOLUTE favorite duet, Kenny and Dolly! I am sad that we will not hear them sing together again is THIS life time but I look forward to hearing them on the other side. It will sound heavenly! 😍
Dolly Parton makes me feel so much better about everything. She’s such a beautiful soul. I have endless respect for her talent and the way she’s tastefully portrayed herself with feminine power and grace while always commanding respect and never losing poise for a single moment.
LOVE this performance! No other voices can do justice with this wonderful composition!
I will never get tired of hearing this song!
+RodneyisGodney same here, its past classic x
Definitely yes! Timeless masterpiece x
yesss
yes, indeed !
You got it Rod......
really one of the most beautiful songs of the time today we don't have so many singers with this mastery
One of the greatest performances ever!
This is my super-couple I remember this when it was happening in real life and knew this is what I wanted my star 💫 guiding star
Another legend left before his time! These "country" singers today will never know what a legend they just lost!
Kenny Rodgers and dolly parton are living legends.so much spiritual power in their music. great stuff for the human spirit
The Bee Gees really knocked it out of the park with their writing, and Kenny and Dolly were beyond perfect to perform this song. Everything about it works.
This is a song that doesn't need to be remade because it's perfect the way it is
Earlier today i left a comment here and i didn't even know he had passed away yesterday. Am so heartbroken 💔💔😭😭 RIP legend.
