Sadly, music icon Kenny Rogers passed away in 2020. Before he died, he was able to perform one more duet with his friend and fellow icon Dolly Parton. In 2017, they performed “Islands in The Stream,” the song written by the Bee Gees and made famous by Marvin Gaye.

Dolly and Kenny’s version was a big hit too and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kenny retired the same year in 2017. They performed at the show honoring his retirement from touring called Kenny Rogers: All In for The Gambler.
