 Topic: O/T-Kenny, Dolly "Once Upon A Christmas"Posted: 12 October 2021 at 12:55pm |

This album has been reissued a few times, but Kenny's
solo songs have been omitted since its original release. (They even added Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas" from "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" soundtrack.) Does anyone know why? Both Kenny and Dolly were signed to RCA at the time. So, it should not be a licensing issue or other label nonsense. When the album was reissued on vinyl last year, I hoped they would finally address this especially after Kenny's passing. But, no change.... Appreciate any info - thanks! Edited by Scanner |

I've listened to this album (original CD) during the
holidays for years. One of my faves. I agree it's a real bummer what they've done with Kenny's songs. I keep hoping for a remaster with all tracks restored. Oh well, maybe one day. |

Could someone tell me what songs are now missing (and if
any of them made an alternate CD)? Thanks! Andy |

They also added Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas" and
changed the order of the songs. |

There's a thread in the Steve Hoffman forum about Kenny's
solo songs being omitted from the reissue. It's because Kenny was unhappy about the way he was treated at RCA (and made it well known). Their answer was to stop promoting Kenny's records and decrease his royalty share by removing these songs from the album. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/friday-music-kenny- dolly-once-upon-a-christmas-lp-still-no-kenny-rogers-solo- tracks.628033/ |

Interesting read...thanks for the link. Sounds like all
involved could use some Christmas spirit! You would think enough time has passed that they would move beyond such nonsense. |
