Wow. This is so moving to watch.
As a lifelong fan of both Olivia Newton-John and Dolly Parton, to see the two sing together is “Magic” (pun intended). This is Olivia’s final recording and both women sound incredible.
This isn’t Olivia’s first time singing the iconic song. She originally covered “Jolene” on her 1976 Come On Over record, just two years after Dolly released the classic. Olivia began her U.S. career on the country charts.
Dolly says, “My first memory of Olivia was when her song ‘Let Me Be There’ was a hit. I have loved her ever since. We had many occasions that we got to share together, either backstage or performing on the same shows, and I loved every moment that I ever got to spend with her. I’ve always been inspired by her grit, tenderness, willingness, and determination.
Olivia Newton-John passed last August at 73.
“Jolene” is a preview of Olivia’s Just the Two of Us: The Duets Collection, which comes out May 5.
