A number one POP hit - the second for each artist - and a MONSTER country hit, it dominated the charts in 1983. It is considered to be the greatest country duet of all time - and I think that's a pretty solid pick.
The song is written in C major for Rogers but switches to A-flat major in the parts where Parton takes lead.
Of course, they performed the song together whenever they could, but the last time they did was on October 25, 2017. Rogers was retiring (Dolly still isn't) and would pass away in 2020. It's rare to have a firm last concert in advance, and he was lucky to do it.
Some called the performance painful. I say it's a classic.
