Kenny Rogers And Dolly Parton Team Up For Brand New Duet

"Islands in the Stream" is one of the most classic country duets of all time, thanks to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It was released in August of 1983 and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, as well as Country and Adult Contemporary charts.

Dolly and Kenny continued their success as a musical pairing and went on to record a Christmas album together, plus an additional hit with their 1985 duet "Real Love." All the while, rumors swirled of a romantic relationship between the two country crooners, but neither Dolly nor Kenny wanted to risk ruining their 30-year friendship by taking things to the next level.

Three decades after debuting their "Islands in the Stream" duet, Dolly and Kenny teamed up for a new duet called "You Can't Make Old Friends" — and you don't have to be a country music fan to appreciate the beauty of this song, and the powerful message it sends. "We can not see each other for six months, and we walk in a room and it's like we're just… back together again. We are old friends," Kenny says in the video below.

Their voices sound just as gorgeous as they did back in 1983, and viewers all over the world are touched by their undeniable chemistry.
