Do the research. She is a high priestess in the satanic church. It's a huge secret like the free masons keep.

There are some singers who can make a masterpiece of any song put in front of them, and Dolly is one of those people. Dolly is certainly a legend in any era!

I happened to see her when she was opening for Mac Davis so many years ago. She sat on a stool on the stage all by herself and played her guitar, sang and told some stories. She had the audience in the palm of her hand. She is an incredible talent and as an added bonus, she was just beautiful too.

And here she is in 2023 in her late 70's still rocking it! Even donned a Dallas Cheerleader outfit and sang.

I'm from East Tennessee not far from Dolly Parton's hometown. Yes some of us make moonshine and some of us just drink it. I don't personally know any girls who were married as young as 12 or 14 but I was married on my 18th birthday. I'm still married to the same man for 42 yrs and life is good. Dolly Parton is a very wonderful person bc she gives back to her community in ways that make an important and lasting impact. She's honest, kind, strong, sweet, smart, confident and extremely talented. She's proud of the place she comes from in Tennessee. Dolly is real. She has never tried to be someone else other than who and what she truly is. Staying true to oneself is the key to happiness. Love you Miss Dolly. 💯💯🧡🧡💯💯

Her voice is absolutely the same today. LOVE DOLLY!

I love Dolly's vibrato. Wowee this rendition of this tune by her unique vocal signature is crazy great.

Dolly's first high profile interview on national television (beyond the narrow confines of the local Nashville media), and you can see how nervous she was, with her arms crossed in front of her for most of the the interview. It seems like Johnny sensed how nervous she was, and made a point to make her feel welcome. She has always spoken very highly of Johnny, and credited these early appearances on his show as bringing her to widespread fame on a national level.

No only is Dolly a wonderful singer and songwriter. She is a brilliant businesswoman. And a great philanthropist. Free book program for children. Donates to many charities. Great, great human being.

This show was in 1977. Awesome to see her so young. Dolly looked like she was 20 yrs old and not 31. I worked til 11:30PM, I could not even dream of watching Carson’s Show, had to go to sleep get up early to take my kids to school. We lived in Minneapolis at that times and if it snowed at night, by the time I left work there weren’t any snow plows cleaning the streets, that’s for sure, had to drive slow and careful to make it home usually much later than if there was no snow. I loved Johnny Carson Show I think he was much better than anyone these days. I loved when that lady from the Zoo came there w/ animals, those were my favorite shows. I started to watch Johnny only after we moved away from Mpls. I used to call it the North Pole!!!!!!! Damn the winters were murder!!!!!!! I heard Dolly on the radio. What a voice, what talent, Plus all the writing she did. She has this beautiful face that overflowed all the good one could see in her eyes and know she had a Heart. of Gold. May all of God’s blessings be upon her Always! Love you Dolly! I am a big fan of yours and I hope you keep on writing and singing always. Bye!

Dolly is an absolutely beautiful person.

I love little Andy and to see her perform for the first time on Johnny Carson, on her birthday 🎂. Dolly is a legend and a good person ❤

That last song just crushed me 😢😢😢 wow what a talent.

“Me and my Little Andy”--heartbreaker right there.

I can hear it, not sure why some can't. Make sure your volume is on? Ty for uploading, love these older Johnny Carson shows. Just a different time, I was lucky enough to be a part of even if I was a kid. Dolly is a very generous woman from what I've heard ❤.

I like it when Dolly sings both kinds of songs. Country AND Western! Such a broad coverage of all the genres ya know. I just love to watch her shows., kinda like when I was a kid and I watched her for the first time on Color TV in the early 60s! That's right! Both colors, black and white! In genuine Monotone Sound! My dad liked that faincy TV and even had a voice-responsive TV remote for that television set. ME! "Boy change the channel." - "Son, raise the volume" - "Move the rabbit ear antennas" - "Get out of the way I can't see it". As fun as that was, I was purty happy when dad finally got a newer full-color TV with a remote controller. 😁📺

Never heard "Me and Little Andy" before. Wow. It's so painful. A bold choice for such an important appearance. "You're going on Carson! Good vibes only!" She stole ten thousand hearts that night, then sang a song to break them. Forty some-odd years and still the fandom is unshaken. She didn't make the easy choice, but she gave broken hearts a voice. And here we wait with breathed bate for something new to take in.

Johnny Carson, showing how to be a gentleman when a young female artist not yet used to the spotlight is finding her way. Good for him for not trying to be cute or sarcastic or smarmy but really taking a genuine interest in her and her life and work. This seems almost like a make-or-break moment for Dolly, that if she had a bad experience here that she would've stepped back and kept her career small and local to Nashville. However, seeing the respect and support Johnny showed, it probably gave her confidence to keep flying. Priceless footage. :)
