When you get looking for something maybe abit different,check out Patty Loveless live doing You'll never leave Harlan Alive. I consider it kind of like a memorial to the old time Coal miners. My Grandpa also dug coal. Although he dug coal in a different South East Kentucky county than Harlan.

If you liked Kenny and Dolly duets, my absolute favorite is "Islands in the Stream."

Kenny was a master of moving the mic away as he was singing louder.

RIP Kenny. You are deeply missed thanks for all of the great music you gave us over all the years.

He sure did. And a few movies along the way too!

They had such a love and respect for each other, it was always fun to watch them interact. I loved the look in Kenny’s eyes right before Dolly came out. He knew they were about to blow the roof off the building.

Two icons, legends, great performers, live on tour, and what a show! 🌛

I saw it in person, though I was a very little child at the time. I knew I loved the music but I didn't understand at the time the "status" of the people I was watching. I sure do now. But that is etched in my memory.

The mic thing is something he did often. I think it’s a mixture of the sound guys and the way he projects his voice.

Yes he sure did that a lot. Seems a lot of artists in that day did it. I have no idea how the sound people or what tech may have been involved but it was a "showy" thing IMO. I don't know how else to describe it?

@@trixiebella Back then, the mic to & fro was used same as it is now, tho to a lesser degree, I'm sure: to add or diminish the vocals, as needed. What MR is asking - I'll not make a big deal about it, but I had the same Qs at the time - is how does the sound remain constant whilst moving the mic to or fro? Completely constant. Exactly constant, even. 🤔 Take a look at the original Bob Seger live version and he's moving ~around~ the mic to lend inflection where he wants it. (This is not to disparage Kenny or his rendition; his legacy stands on its own & one has nothing to do with the other, so far as this video production goes. Even so, MR is familiar with her own profession & perhaps not so familiar with how "movie magic" got made for our 27" SUPER-low-def Zeniths back in ye olde days lol. 😂)

I had the absolute pleasure to meet Kenny Rogers many years ago. He is very genuine, a complete gentleman, and a fabulous storyteller. I was honored to have had a conversation with him. Of course, it was at Dollywood.

When he goes louder he pulls the mic away. And this is the 80s. The mics were very different...

...eeeehhhhhhh... were they, though? That is, I'm not saying anything here, but MR's Q is legit and KR doesn't always *perform* (my take, 1983 concert). By the same token, I think MR is right: pre-recorded. As a simple comparison, take a look at the original: Bob Seger- We've Got Tonight live - KZread. So far as this video goes: the camera-cutting, the off-screen mic... idk either way, but that's the way I saw it then & still see it now. No issues either way.

@@soarabove337Nope. That was live. I was there and i’d have been able to tell if it wasn’t. Besides that, if a person pays attention, the lips will ALWAYS give away a lip sync. There will always be little difference beats on certain syllables where they don’t quiiiiiiite match with a word. You just have to look for them.

Tim foist has a new double song combo. “Will you still love me tomorrow”/“Stay” by the FOUR SEASONS! Yes, he does “ Stay” in falsetto!!! 😱😱😱

Always great to hear Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing together, and it is good to have you back. Thank you.🌙

Kennys live version of Lady is another amazing song to listen to.

Icons. Both. Love this fun fun fun performance. I'd give anything to see a Maggie/Dolly collab

dolly is a born star if there ever was one, it's effortless for her, she's got comedic timing too

They both were great people by all accounts. She still is. RIP Kenny.

Absolutely one of the best concerts I ever went to was Kenny Rogers in the round. The man was amazing!

I love this song and their version is my favorite. I had the luck to see Kenny for my very first concert... with the same "Dolly" surprise. I am so glad I got to see that!! At the time I just enjoyed the music as I was very little and didn't know the icons that I was actually seeing! Great reaction Maggie!

They have such CHEMISTRY!

Two of the most class acts in Country music. I loved this. Thank you !!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dolly and Kenny live in the late 90 or 91. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. You could see the love and respect they had for each other and how much they loved performing together qnd for the audience.

That was absolutely amazing 👌🤩😂👍. They look so wonderful to gether. Thank you so much for reacting to this song... Maggie. I think you are wonderful 🙏🌹❤️👍👌. What an awesome live performance by two legends. I only wish I had Kenny Rogers voice and vocal chords. R.I.P Kenny. You and your golden voice will never ever be forgotten. Once again thank you so very much for the reaction. Take care of yourself and stay safe and stay blessed Maggie 🙏🌹❤️😘🤟🤟

Did you already see them singing their huge hit "Islands in the Stream" already?? If not I highly recommend it. The Bee Gees wrote the song btw. 😉❤✌🏼

The microphone thing is so dope....A thing is his voice had so much projection....it was insane!

Kenny Rogers singing in PLAY BACK. WoW!!!

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, "We've Got Tonight" was written for Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton, "Islands in the Stream" was the memorable song for Kenny and Dolly.

Did you know Barry Gibbs wrote the song Islands in the stream for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

Love them both, I grew up listening to their songs, and now I have them stuck in my mind forever, amazing, and very funny performance!! Great reaction, thank you for this uploading, Maggie!!! 🌛💖

They were the best friends ever, they loved each other

Best onstage chemistry ever.

There's got to be some sort of technique thing going on cause if you notice both Dolly and Kenny will move the mike away/drop it if they aren't actively singing. Though I do get your question with how he is still being picked up but maybe they are THAT hot and both of them are using their voices to manage. Makes me wonder how different the mikes were back then (cause this was back when transistors were just beginning to be used in amplification) interesting questions...

Music and comedy banter in one show. In the preset social era few people would feel as free to be off the cuff as this. Lets hope we can see more of this kind of spontaneity, we could all use a good laugh. 🌛

Absolutely two of my favorite singers, they were really great friends and had great stage presents together, really enjoyed your reaction and there performance

My husband was a big Dolly parton Kenny Rogers fan. Oh, those were great times.

Dolly Parton is an amazing person. She is an awesome singer, songwriter, business woman and humanitarian. Kenny was also a great singer.

Another nice one!

@7:11 Dolly is going to be Dolly & watching her do the Kenny thing put a smile on another singer's face... priceless!

hi these are the best country singers ever.. cough cough growing up listening them playing on my mums records in the 70s... kenny Don't Take Your Love to Town.. and dolly Because I Love You... so so sad these days are over.. when they sang together the chemistry between them both worked so well.. RIP Kenny

Dolly was savage

I hope that Sheena Easton diss was comical! The banter between Kenny and Dolly was cute!

This is live!

In Jan 2022, this song is on my Apple Music playlist. 😉

Omni directional mic

This is a Bob Segar song... its a great song

Band-Maid and BABYMATAL is the best thing that has happned to Rock/Metal in decades!!!!!

Maybe Kenny is using a clip-on microphone and is just using the hand microphone as a prop.

You need to check out the song from the Gibbs group

Actually reminds me of the chemistry between Floor Jansen and Henk Poort. But this joking around with each other was truely priceless.

Kenny Rogers is my guilty pleasure.

It would be lovely you reacted to a more vocally demanding Dolly song like late versions of I Will Always Love You or He's Alive

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Listen to the Sheena Easton version

The mics were very different 40 yes ago

I watched the mic movements after you brought it up. When his voice was softer, it was closer. When he put more energy into the words he held it further away. Perhaps this gave the impression that the volume was the same. However, watching the mechanics (chest, throat, mouth and body movement) it was obvious that he was changing the energy of his delivery for different lines and then moved the microphone. I see many singers do this, most notably rock and metal singers will move the microphone with some exceptions. This is likely more attributed to the fact that most rock/metal singers do not have classical training and often learned on the fly and find unique ways of delivering their vocals. These older recordings with the exception of the poorly designed studios that artists regularly found ways to mock. Musicians including the vocalists were frustrated with lip-syncing and pretend playing at those shows that showcased music without being set up to deliver live music and let it be known creatively. Artists like Kenny Rogers can actual sing and don't need to use tricks. This again, goes for most artists at that time.

I disagree; that is to say, I agree w/ MR. Now, my Elacs or my own ears may be deceiving me... I'll accept it either way... but the tone & pitch - to say nothing of the volume lol - did not change at all, regardless of the mic distance. To be sure, my assessment of the energy of his performance matches yours. It's just the actual output did not match what we were seeing. So I'm going to go with pre-recorded. KR didn't lip sync, but the actual audio was overlayed with the video portrayed. I'm sure of it lol.

You know she wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same day. Or so the story goes.

It may be a different pickup pattern for stage performance.

🤔🙄🤷‍♂️ ......ooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr it may be bad editing (nowadays) for a video made in another era lol. Imo, one only need to watch Bob Seger's original to see his in & out from the mic to wonder if this vid was edited in post-production; and perhaps heavily so lol. 😁👍

Bob Seger drew criticism when this song first hit the airwaves because of the subject matter. Yet within a few years that pretty much no longer mattered when others covered it, in truth the banter between Dolly and Kenny is more risqué than the song. Good performance, good reaction, good edit. And how did he do that microphone trick?

No pre recording. His voice was that strong. Try watching Don Dokken. Same thing. He will hold mic to one side and then far away.

Renee don’t worry about the tech stuff! You have KENNY ROGERS singing in front of you! Just enjoy!

Kenny is controlling his volume with the mic distances!

It's obviously sung live.

You're going to like this video because they joke around a lot

His convert duet with Sheena Easton is much better quality.

What would you do to stand on stage and sing a duet with Dolly. In my opinion she is one of if not the best singer ever.

I'd love for you to sing Steve Winwoods CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME.!😃

You want to be blown away do Kenny Rodgers and Lionel Richie lady the night has spoken lights out

Mics were not dynamic back then, and sometimes you had to share a mic so they would feed back, thats why you see sometimes when they duet one would hide the mic behind themselves

We had better mikes 30 years ago than you can get today

Love their version, but I prefer Bob Seger's orginal.

Good version though i preferred the bob seger and silver bullet band version.

Do you.know how microphones worked in the 1980's???? I hate that the immediate reaction of those who are currently trained want to go negative.

Bob Seger - “We’ve Got Tonight” is better…check out a record version.

Love the reaction check out the singing island the stream live at Grammys cool channel thanks

As lovely as Kenny’s duets of this were…you really have to do Bob Seger’s version…it’s his song…use the Record version if you do.

Kenny & Dolly would neeeever lip sync. They felt a live performance called for actual singing. IDK why but some vocal coaches teach that moving the microphone close then pulling it away is a performance technique.

Typo lips sync. Part 2

His intro seems lip synced, and switched once Dolly entered.

He's lip synching.

your mic and his mic doesnt look or sound anything alike, what gives.. heheh

i think he is lip syncing and dollys live. might be off a track.

Are you attempting to assassinate his reputation?

I saw Loretta Lynn 4 years ago, she's older and had some trouble remembering some songs, but when she started singing it was fantastic. All these acts are legendary and I wish I could've seen Kenny live.
