So to go from not knowing Dolly at all [laughs] to having a whole themed party for the person I love most in the world in honor of Dolly showed me that there's something really special there, and I have just spent the last year getting immersed in that.

But, um, here's how you can remember her: uh, every time somebody watches 9 to 5, uh, every time two people attempt to sing Islands in the Stream at karaoke, uh, every time a child opens a book that Dolly helped put in their hands, and every time we hear that laugh, that voice, or, or one of these amazing songs and suddenly remember exactly where we were when we first heard it.
Steve SpearsHOST
We don't get to keep Dolly, but we get to keep everything she gave us, and what a beautiful thing that is.
Steve SpearsHOST
Thanks, Dolly, for being yet another amazing reason why we're hopelessly stuck in the '80s.

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, Islands in the Stream, a song written by the Bee Gees.

The Bee Gees didn't in fact record it until 1998 when they did a live version with Barry on lead vocals.

They did a studio version in 2001 with Robin on lead vocals.
