# 1 for Kenny Rogers and Dottie West in 1979
# 7 for Sonny and Cher in 1971
This version is closer to the Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed Version
It was written for Kenny Rogers, but; he passed on it, the first time.
I was mistaken in the video subtitles, it did not win Grammys for Sonny and Cher or Chet and Jerry, but; it was nominated.
