No one would have expected that two powerhouse voices like Dolly Parton and Kelly Clarkson could come together.
But they've surprised the world with their modern rendition duet of the Dolly classic '9 to 5' for the upcoming documentary 'Still Working 9 to 5'.
"Nobody sings like Kelly Clarkson," Dolly praises her collaborator.
"She makes any song come alive. I love her voice on ‘9 To 5' and I am so proud I got to sing with her on it. I’m equally as proud of the wonderful arrangement and production by Shane McAnally."
Previously, Kelly Clarkson has shared her love of Dolly Parton when she sung her rendition of "9 To 5" for her talk show, 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'. She's also performed "Jolene" as part of her Kellyoke.
"I am so honored that Dolly asked me to reimagine this iconic song, ‘9 to 5,’ with her!" Kelly exclaimed.
"She is so talented, an inspiration to all women, and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! I hope y’all like what we did, but even if you don’t, remember I got to sing a duet with the magical Dolly Parton and now have bragging rights til the end of time!"
The documentary 'Still Working 9 To 5' celebrates the legacy of the working women’s anthem, as well as examines the state of equality for women in the workplace then and now. The documentary, which has already aired at film festivals in New Zealand, is to be released in US theatres this week.
