Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton have an on-record chemistry that has been well-documented in duet hits such as "Real Love" and "Islands In The Stream." Now the two legends and friends have reunited in the studio once again for the new duet "You Can't Make Old Friends." The music video for the song premiered today on Good Morning America.
The video was helmed by award-winning director Trey Fanjoy and produced by Trent Hardville earlier this year in Nashville. The song was written by Ryan Hanna King, Caitlyn Smith and Don Schlitz, and is the title track from Rogers' highly anticipated new album, to be released October 8 on Warner Bros. Records. The song's release coincides with the thirty-year anniversary of the release of Rogers and Parton's classic hit "Islands In The Stream," one of the most successful duet singles in Country Music history.
"I can't think of a more perfect song for the two of us to sing together," Rogers says. “Out of everyone in the business, Dolly is my best friend, so naturally it has special meaning for the both of us. It was so good to be back in the studio with her. I’m thrilled to have our relationship documented this way.”
Parton adds, “There is just something about our chemistry with each other – our friendship – that people really sense what we really feel. To do a song that fits so many people, and certainly us, was an honor. It’s been a wonderful journey, and I’m so glad I’ve been able to walk this road with Kenny.”
