Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers achieved long and successful solo careers in country music while also regularly joining their distinctive voices for duets and tours. In addition to often being performing partners, the two shared a close friendship that first blossomed when they recorded the now-classic duet "Islands in the Stream." Parton joined Rogers onstage one last time for a farewell concert in 2017. On the occasion, the pair once more expressed their love and affection for one another.
Parton and Rogers shared similar backgrounds, which may help explain their connection. Both grew up in poverty — Rogers in a Houston housing project, Parton in a cabin in the Tennessee hills that was filled with 12 children. Parton has explained, "He, like me, was brought up very poor. We understood that world, and how much we wanted things."
When their friendship began, Rogers and Parton each had successful careers, though they'd experienced twists and turns along the way. After finding success with Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, in 1975 Rogers had chosen to embark upon a solo career in country music when the group split up. Parton had achieved great success in country music in part because she'd joined Porter Wagoner on his popular television show in 1967. But by 1974 she'd decided it was time to branch out on her own.
Both Rogers and Parton had the drive to make it as solo artists. Rogers ended up taking country music by storm with hits like "The Gambler," which also inspired a TV movie tie-in. Parton conquered the world of pop and movies while maintaining her country music credibility.
