Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John 'Jolene' Duet
It is always great to have one powerhouse singer perform; however, when you can get two together, it’s a treat. In this video clip, Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John sing a 'Jolene' duet.
This classic hit was made popular by Dolly herself. In this version of the song, she is singing alongside the late Olivia Newton-John. Dolly begins by introducing the song and shares how the two artists have stayed friends over the years, and both love the song “Jolene.” They decided to do a duet together for Olivia’s upcoming project. Olivia shared that she is excited because she has always wanted to sing with Dolly.
The two begin their song. It is stunning. Olivia begins, and Dolly harmonizes. It is a different twist on the song, catering to Olivia’s own personal style, with Dolly’s original. Olivia sings so calmly and happily. Dolly sings with spunk. We even see some moments of people wearing COVID masks in the studio, and of course, Dolly has her own special pink mask.
The two had clearly taken very good care of their voices. The harmonies and arrangement are absolutely beautiful. These two ladies are legendary singers and passionate about the message.
They have a great song that takes a classic and puts a modern twist on it. Both appear to be having a wonderful time in the studio and enjoying themselves. It is pure beauty and makes us miss Olivia. Their voices together are easy listening and could be heard for hours on end.
One viewer shared, “This is the very first time I have listened to Olivia’s voice since she has left us… what a beautiful treat to hear both voices together!!”
These two women have great talent and have come together to fulfill a dream of recording with one another. We are never too late to dream and to try new things.
Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone (Psalm 71:9).
