Once Upon a Christmas (Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton album) → Kenny & Dolly Once upon a Christmas – The title, as depicted on the album cover, is Kenny & Dolly Once upon a Christmas, with lowercase "u" per MOS:CT. If consensus skews towards the use of a colon, I would also support the main title header Kenny & Dolly: Once upon a Christmas. Either way obviates the need for parenthetical qualifier "(Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton album)". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:17, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per artwork cover does not show "Kenny & Dolly Once upon a Christmas" but Kenny & Dolly ------------- "Once upon a Christmas" and GBooks, WP:RS such as Parton and Rogers biographies refer to this as "Once upon a Christmas" + Amazon etc FWIW , books for example "Once Upon a Christmas, recorded with Kenny Rogers for RCA in 1984, was certified gold and platinum on December 3, 1984, and later sales went double platinum by October 25, 1989 ..."

Oppose The album's page at the website Discogs.com lists the title as simply Once Upon a Christmas. Also, the Reviews page of the December 8, 1984, issue of Billboard (page 96) displays the title as Once Upon a Christmas. In addition, a search for the album on the Gold & Platinum page at the Recording Industry Association of America's website also lists its title as Once Upon a Christmas.

Oppose The album's title is Once Upon a Christmas. This is evidenced by the LP and CD spines, as well as the label on the vinyl. it is referred to as Once Upon a Christmas in Parton's 1994 biography My Life and Other Unfinished Business as well as on all digital platforms. The album's accompanying television special is titled Kenny & Dolly: A Christmas to Remember. I believe this is where the confusions over the album's title comes from. Also, the album's title was listed as Once Upon a Christmas when it was reviewed in Billboard on December 8, 1984, and that is also how the title was has been listed for the album's entire chart run since its 1984 release.
