Dolly Parton Calls Kenny Rogers the Best Singer "in the History of Music" on "Biography"

Dolly Parton pays props to the late, great Kenny Rogers on A&E's Biography: Kenny Rogers.

 

In a clip from Rogers' 2017 All in for the Gambler farewell concert at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, Parton tells Rogers onstage, “I don’t think anybody in the history of music has ever had a better ear for hit songs, nor could they sing ’em better than you."

She adds, "All the years I’ve worked with Kenny, I never get tired of hearing him sing.”

 

For his part, Rogers said about Parton at the event, “I’ve known Dolly for 30 years, so I think it’s so sweet of her to come here so I can say goodbye properly.”

 

The two-hour Biography: Kenny Rogers premieres April 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on A&E.
