Dolly Parton Performs a Kenny Rogers Tribute on CMT Giants
Dolly Parton performed a touching tribute for her friend, the late Kenny Rogers.
During Wednesday night’s CMT Giants memorial concert special, the country legend sang a somber virtual cover of Kenny’s 1977 song “Sweet Music Man” accompanied only by an acoustic guitar while surrounded by a circle of candles.
“I know that we all know Kenny is in a better place than we are today,” she said. “But, I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be talking to God sometime today, if he ain’t already. He’s going to be asking him to spread some light on a bunch of this darkness going on here. I loved Kenny with all my heart and, and my heart is broken, and a big old chunk of it has gone with him today. I think I can speak for all his family, his friends, and fans when I say that I will always love you.”
Thank you, Dolly.
