DOLLY PARTON LOOKED KENNY ROGERS IN THE EYE ON HIS LAST NIGHT ON STAGE AND SAID: “JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE IT.”Then she sang “I Will Always Love You” — straight to his face, in front of 20,000 people.But here’s the part that gets me. In 1983, Kenny had been struggling with a Bee Gees song called “Islands in the Stream” for four days. He told producer Barry Gibb he didn’t even like it anymore. Gibb said: “You know what we need? We need Dolly Parton.”She happened to be downstairs in the same building. Kenny’s manager spotted her and Kenny said, “Well, go get her.”Dolly marched in and the song hit #1 on three charts.That was the beginning. Thirty-four years of duets, tours, and a friendship neither of them ever tried to turn into anything else. Kenny once said keeping the tension there made better music than giving in ever would.On October 25, 2017, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, she closed his farewell show. She told the crowd she’s mostly artificial — but her heart is real, and Kenny has a spot in it nobody else will ever touch.Five months later, Kenny was gone.There’s one specific reason Dolly chose “I Will Always Love You” for that moment instead of “Islands in the Stream” — and it has nothing to do with Whitney Houston.Dolly Parton kept singing with Kenny Rogers for 34 years without ever crossing the line — was that discipline, or was it the smartest creative decision either of them ever made?
