Kenny & Dolly : A Christmas to Remember - 1984 Full Special

by Billy Ingram

Broadcast on December 2, 1984 over the CBS network, this classic holiday special was based around Rogers' and Parton’s best-selling album, ‘Once Upon a Christmas.’ Debuting at number 19 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, peaking at number 12, Billboard said that this album, "shows signs of emerging as a seasonal blockbuster."

This wasn’t their first collaboration, Rogers and Parton first performed together in 1976 when Rogers was a guest on ‘Dolly,’ Parton's syndicated variety series then, in 1983, they recorded a number-one hit single, "Islands in the Stream.”

‘A Christmas to Remember’ featured lavishly adorned performances of all ten songs from the album.

This beloved Christmas special was rerun every few years throughout the '80s and '90s but, as popular as it was, the hour-long program has never been issued digitally and hasn't been seen on TV in decades. Could it be music licensing that’s keeping this from the public?
