Dolly Parton has answered the challenge, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that is. Many people, including Parton’s old “Islands in The Stream” duet partner, Kenny Rogers.

Dolly Parton recently answered Kenny Rogers Ice Bucket ALS awareness challenge, stating in her video:
“Kenny said you'll never do it with your false hair, your false eyelashes, and your false nails; Kenny, you'd be surprised at what all I do with my falses; for a good cause and a good laugh.”
Parton didn’t challange anyone else to dump on water on themselves, however, she does urge others to donate:
“Although, I didn’t challenge anyone, I do challenge everybody to make a generous donation like I did!”
Earlier in the year, Parton released her latest album Blue Smoke. The new record includes covers of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice,” and Bon Jovi’s Lay Your Hands On Me.” Parton previously spoke about the record in a press release:
“I really wanted to do an album that had all the colors of my whole career. We have some bluegrass stuff, some gospel flavored things, and we have some mountain style stuff. We also did a cover of Bon Jovi’s ‘Lay Your Hands On Me’ as a gospel song, and it’s absolutely great. We did a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Think Twice,’ which has always been a favorite of mine. We did it the Americana way, with plucking guitars and finger-picking and bluegrass harmonies. I love choosing other peoples’ songs, doing some covers. It was really a special album to do. It was fun to do.”
