Hot Famous Couples

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

Despite what many people believe, it is hard for anyone to dig up any dirt online regarding Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, and whether there was a love affair between them. Apart from the fact that I found an album they made together called “Country Affair Vol1″!

What I did find strange however is the fact that her number one fan, and so called “foremost” expert on Dolly, does not entertain any questions regarding her ever having any kind of relationship with Kenny Rogers, including singing together. While she does touch on the issue of the chance that Dolly may be bisexual… Go figure?

Dolly Parton was born in January of 1946, she was one of 12 children in a poor family, and grew up on a run-down farm in Tennessee. By age 12 she was already appearing on TV in Knoxville, and recording for a small label at age 13. After she graduated high school she moved to Nashville to further her career and met Carl Dean, they fell in love and married in 1966. They are still married and I believe it is in this that the love story lays, if anything.

She has sung and recorded with many female and male counterparts, but Island in the Stream with Kenny Rogers was one of the more famous recordings. Dolly is hugely popular as both a singer and songwriter. The most famous, and the one which earns her the most royalties is “I Will Always Love You” - Whitney Houston’s recording. Let us say that it is safe to assume she is immensely rich, with a fortune in the region of $300 - $500 million.

Kenny Rogers was also from a poor family and was the fourth of eight children. Both his parents worked and he was the first family member to graduate from high school. He was interested in singing from a young age and was only 19 years of age when he recorded “That Crazy Feeling” for a small record label in Houston.

This launched his career and he joined the “New Christy Minstrels”, but his solo career soon took off. He has also sung and recorded with Sheena Easton and Kim Carnes. He now lives in Georgia with his fifth wife and breeds Arabian horses.
