- "Islands in the Stream" (with Kenny Rogers) The Bee Gees penned it, but Parton and Rogers elevated this song to classic status, earning a No. 1 record on the pop, country and adult contemporary charts in the U.S. and sailing away to the upper reaches of the charts in several other countries as well.
- "I Will Always Love You" (with Vince Gill) Before she left Wagoner's TV and stage show for a hugely successful solo career, Parton wrote the now-world-renowned hit — and one of her signature songs — for him to express her deep admiration for his role in her life and career.
- "Just Someone I Used to Know" (with Porter Wagoner) Penned by Jack Clement, this song was just one of the many duets that Parton recorded with her mentor and close friend Wagoner.
- "When I Get to Where I'm Going" (with Brad Paisley) Imagining the afterlife, Paisley sings, “When I get where I’m going / There’ll be only happy tears / I will shed the sins and struggles / I have carried all these years.”
