Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In 1999, Dolly Parton teamed up with which UK new wave band to appear on a remix of their track, "Your Kisses Are Charity" subtitled (Dolly Mix)?

Answer: Culture Club

"Your Kisses Are Charity" originally appeared on Culture Club's 1999 album "Don't Mind If I Do" and the track was released as a CD single featuring three different remixes, with the "Kinky Disco Mix" mixed by Kinky Roland and the "Quivver's Amityville Mix" mixed by Quivver accompanying the "Dolly Mix".
2. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was released, featuring Dolly in 1993. It was the opening track to the album, "Up on the Roof: Songs from the Brill Building", but who released the album and was Dolly's partner on this song?

Answer: Neil Diamond

Since first being recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1964, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" has been covered by countless artists from Long John Baldry to Human League and by 2011 it had, according to the performing-rights organisation Broadcast Music, Inc. been played almost 15 million times on American TV and radio.
3. On the single from 1984, "Sweet Lovin' Friends", taken from the soundtrack to the "Rhinestone" (1984) film, who was Dolly Parton's vocal partner?

Answer: Sylvester Stallone

Oh dear, "Rhinestone"! If you have never seen the film, you're one of the lucky ones.
The plot isn't great, the dialogue is worse, "I hate country music worse than liver", being an example, in fact the only good thing to come out of it was that Dolly got two country chart top ten hits from it in both USA and Canada - and neither of them featured Stallone on vocals.
4. Dolly appeared on which singer songwriter's 2004 album, "Feels Like Home" on the track, "Creepin' In"?

Answer: Norah Jones

"Feels Like Home" was the second album from Norah Jones, following her hugely successful debut album, "Come Away With Me" (2002). Like its predecessor, "Feels Like Home" was a great success, reaching number one in the album charts of countries all around the world.
5. One of Dolly's best known collaborations is "Islands In The Stream", recorded in 1983 and performed with the much missed Kenny Rogers. Who wrote this song?

Answer: Bee Gees

"Islands In The Stream" was recorded by Kenny and Dolly for his 1983 album of songs written by the Bee Gees, "Eyes That See In The Dark", which interestingly also featured a track entitled "I Will Always Love You", a song title with which Dolly is associated but a completely different song. In UK, "Islands In The Stream" is associated with a Comic Relief charity cover version from 2009 featuring Sir Tom Jones, Andy Gibb of the Bee Gees and Nessa (Ruth Jones) and Bryn (Rob Brydon) from hit TV show, "Gavin and Stacey".

This version reached number one in UK, making Tom Jones, at 68 years old, the oldest person to have a UK number one single.
6. In 2009 Dolly Parton appeared on the track "Boots and Sand" on the "Roadsinger" album from Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens. Apart from Dolly and Yusuf, which well known singer and bass player appeared on this track?

Answer: Paul McCartney

"Roadsinger" was the 13th album by Yusuf since his name change, but only his second of pop music, following "An Other Cup" (2006). The album did well chart wise and was a hit with the critics too, with website, allmusic.com describing it as "an utterly solid catalog entry" and continuing by saying, "Longtime fans will not be disappointed, and the rest of us should take note, too, because this kind of songcraft is seldom come by anymore".
7. Unfortunately not a hit, but "I Know You By Heart" was a 1987 duet between Dolly and which legend of Motown music?

Answer: Smokey Robinson

"I Know You By Heart" was taken from Dolly's 1987 album, "Rainbow", on which she also covered a Smokey Robinson penned song, "Two Lovers", originally a hit for Mary Wells back in 1962.
8. On the 1997 album,"Heavenly", Dolly worked with which well known South African band on a cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"?

Answer: Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Neither the album or the Bob Dylan cover were hits, which is surprising given the songs that Ladysmith Black Mambazo chose to cover on the album, such as Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang", Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" and Billy Joel's "River Of Dreams".
Incidentally, Dolly wasn't the only star on this version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" as bottleneck guitar on the track was played by Bonnie Raitt.
9. The soundtrack for the 2018 film, "Dumplin'" saw Dolly link up with several musicians, but which Australian acid jazz and electro pop star did she record a remake of her 1971 song "Here I Am" with?

Answer: Sia

A veritable who's who of music appeared with Dolly on this soundtrack as she recorded tracks with Elle King, Miranda Lambert, Alison Krauss and Macy Gray as well as Jennifer Aniston who played Rosie Dickson in the movie.
10. "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" has been recorded by several artists including Dolly as a solo artist in 1980. In 2017 though, who she teamed up with which hip hop and pop star to record the track as a duet?

Answer: Kesha

"Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" was written by Hugh Moffat and Pete Sebert and originally recorded and taken into the charts by Joe Sun in 1978.
In 2017, Sebert's daughter, Kesha recorded the track for her "Rainbow" album and who better to sing on it than the lady that had taken the song to number one in the Billboard Hot Country chart, the wonderful Dolly Parton?
