A reimagined version of Dolly Parton's hit song, "Jolene," featuring the late Olivia Newton-John was released on Friday and it's giving a glimpse into the two stars' friendship.
Their duet, which will be part of Newton-John's last album that she recorded before her death, "Just the Two of Us: The Duets Collection," was released with a music video on YouTube. In the video, Newton-John says that she "always wanted to sing with Dolly."
"I'm so excited to be working with Olivia Newton-John, one of my favorites of all time," Parton says in another clip. "We've always kind of stayed close through the years and I am just so proud to be a part of this duet project that she's doing."

Nice duet.
That was Oh so beautiful!
Too many masks.
Olivia always had a pretty voice.
Nice rendition of “Jolene.”
My favorite rendition was Mindy Smith’s.
What’s up with the f’n masks?
Oh, I want to get that album! The duets albums by some of the artists usually are good. Love “Last Man Standing” by Jerry Lee Lewis.
“What’s up with the f’n masks?”
Neweon-John had cancer. I know that my friend, when she had cancer pre-WuFlu, had to wear a mask. The meds she was on annihilated her immune system.
(RIP, Diane.)

Beautiful. I’ll have to buy that album when it’s released.
I always wondered why “Jolene” was considered to be a typical country song. If Loretta Lynn had been singing it, she’d have taken Jolen by the hair of the head and taken her to fist city. That’s a more realistic country version.
She always wanted to get physical with me.
LOL. I love the song, but I never understood why a woman would fight over a man.
If I wrote a song about this story, it would be called, “You Can Have Him, Jolene.”
