A video of the episode uploaded to Facebook sees the country icon partner with the co-host of the show, Pickler, who is herself a celebrated country artist, to perform the hit duet, “Island in the Stream,” which he originally sang with legendary Dolly Parton.

Rogers and Pickler are seated alongside one another as they hold the microphone and wait for the musical cue to begin their performance.

Right before it begins, Pickler makes her excitement and nervousness at sharing the stage with the country icon apparent by exclaiming, “I’m no Dolly! I’m gonna try!”

The country icon’s voice is as smooth and melodious as ever and he was about to give her some serious competition in terms of singing standard.

However, when Pickler began singing her part of the duet, she proved that she wasn’t half as nervous as she appeared to be.

Meanwhile, Classic Country Music informed that “Island in the Stream” is one of the most beloved country duets, which was released back in July 1983.

Following its release, it topped both the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart as well as the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Rogers is still one of the most popular country artists. Recently, his 2018 tour, “The Gambler’s Last Deal,” was canceled due to the effects of his advanced age.
