Around the time that the documentary came out, Parton spoke about the duet version of “9 to 5” on Clarkson’s talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, stating: “You did a great job on that too. I love how you took that and just made it your own and I got a chance to sing background for a change!” Parton continues: “But I’m really proud of that rendition of it and I think, hopefully, it’ll do well for us. It’s great in the documentary.”
Overall, fans of Parton and Clarkson are likely anxiously awaiting September 9, and the anticipated release of their duet version of Parton’s classic song “9 to 5.”
