Two legends. One unforgettable moment. 🎶🙏🏽

In 1988, legendary Hawaiian musician and cultural historian Palani Vaughan joined Dolly Parton on her ABC special My Hawaii, where the two beautifully blended “Ipo Leimanu” with “Unchained Melody.”

The performance brought Hawaiian music and culture to a national audience while honoring the beauty, history and spirit of Hawaiʻi through music.

Today, we remember Dolly Parton and Palani Vaughan, two extraordinary voices who left an unforgettable mark on music and inspired generations through their artistry. 🤍

May both legends rest in aloha.
