Dolly was famous for her bust size. But her talent was what kept her fame and still does. Her humanitarian efforts are too numerous to count. But she doesn't advertise them. Too many songs to listen only one great one. But have you ever heard of Ricky Skaggs? Bluegrass. I suggest Blue Moon of Kentucky. It's easy to find. Love your vibe❤

Not only did Dolly write "I Will Always Love You" but she took all of her royalties from Whitney's version and donated them to Black Charities. She is one of those types of classy person. EVERYBODY, and I mean EVERYBODY in almost any genre of music has done a Dolly song.

Dolly Parton would be a billionaire, but she donates so much of her money. She create the Imagination Library to give free books to children from birth to age 5. She started in her home town to promote literacy, and has since been able to expand it to the entire USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland. They are trying to expand it even further. She worked hard to help raise the high school graduation rate in her small hometown in TN. Dolly Parton is a queen & nobody will dispute you on it. Plus, she & her husband are still happily married to this day.

Dolly is whole package: song writer, musician, comedian, actress philanthropist, and more. I love that she never takes herself seriously!! Ultimate performer! One of a kind!

that is a wonderful description of her voice. I keep hoping if one of those folk rock bands gets to come over that they'll consider doing something with her. She would sound so nice with Sharon Den Adel or heck, maybe even Sabaton they got a bit of viking/ old school in them.

She is really tiny and so the image of her battling anybody or whupping on her husband is unimaginable. But she’s a tough lady, classy and extremely talented. She’s written a huge amount of music, both for herself and others. Considering that she came from a dirt poor background, her success is phenomenal!

One of my favorite stories about her is when her and a friend were visiting New York. A man wouldn’t leave them alone and at the time she was carrying a gun in her bag. She told him that if he didn’t leave them alone she’d change him from a rooster to a hen in one shot. They ended up using that line in 9 to 5.

Naw, it’s the tiny ones. As an old vaudeville song said - Her nagging at a 6 ft fellow and she’s only 5’2”.

I have a hard time believing that this is the first time you hear this evergreen… It’s a classic and is played all over the world… Dolly is THE superstar…

There’s a version where Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus sing this song together…it’s actually REALLY good…they harmonize well!

A tiny woman with a giant heart, and enough wit to make any small-minded person shirk away in shame. If she didn't go in for music, she could have had an amazing career as a comedian.

Dolly Parton is an incredible voice/talent/person.

She wrote I Will Always Love You on the SAME DAY she wrote Jolene!!!! She also composed her hit 9 to 5 in her acrylic nails. She tapped them together to create the beat

I would love to know how long it would take to listen to the thousands of songs she has written in her ~60 years of performing...

Such a dark message in a beautiful song, the white stripes covered this and is well worth a listen ❤

I'm glad I found you to watch.. You're impressed with her voice one bar in.... I'm all... "oh wait, son... just wait'.

Dolly said when she sang "I will always love you" She put some money in the bank. When Whitney sang it, Dolly bought the bank.

I heard an interviewer she said that one of her favorite things in the world is hearing other people sing the song she writes.

She is a charitable soul. She also just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She said that wasn't right, she hasn't ever done rock. And so she is putting together a rock album now with several invited rock guests on an upcoming album. Below is the clip I found about it: Parton made headlines in March after saying she was "extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated," but didn’t feel that she had "earned that right" to be recognized as a rock artist over other performers. As a result, she wanted to "respectfully bow out." But by then, ballots had already been sent out to voters. In response, the Rock Hall announced that they weren’t backing down, explaining that the organization was "not defined by any one genre." They pointed out that it had deep roots in country music, as well as rhythm and blues.

Miss Dolly is all country. Queen of Country. All her songs, and there are many, tell a story.

I like the slower, sadder renditions of Dolly's "Jolene." The song is flawless, and when performed in a more melancholy way, it just packs such a bigger gut-punch. This was a very peppy rendition of an utterly heartbreaking song.

Dolly is a genre unto herself. Her voice is one of the greatest of all times, and she is an absolutely amazing songwriter. You would be very surprised to learn some of your favorite songs were written by Dolly. She’s also a wonderful human being who embraces everyone and does not have a bad bone in her body. She is a national treasure.

I cannot think of a more universally adored celebrity. I don't know anyone from any walk of life, or of any age who does not love her. She's loved for her voice, her songwriting, her story telling, her great big personality, and her huge contributions to charities. If you have not yet heard her sing 9 to 5, you're in for a treat.

Dolly has a great voice (without autotuning), is the show, a talented songwriter and has written hit songs for other singers. She is very kind hearted and a decent human being which is rare in show business.

My friend works for her and says she is just as sweet as you think she is. 💖

When visiting Florida 15 yrs ago, we went to a dolly show that included your supper. As the price was much the same as any restaurant, we decided to give it a go for the experience even though we were neither dolly nor country fans. OH WOW !!!! It was Dolly Parton herself that sang like an angel, chatted with the audience and had us in fits of laughter, in between crying my heart out at the most amazing lyrics. This pint sized lady, who came from dirt poor beginnings in the mountains, then came down to chat with anyone who wanted to, as we were leaving. I tried to tell her that I’d been so moved by her story and her honesty through her songs, and she said we were all the same trying to do our best to get through life. She also laughed and referred to her songs as just her little tunes. So humble. I’ve never forgotten that night, the night I met a true star who has been a wee fighter and so proud of her family and community. Fame has not ruined her, to her it’s a way that she has been able to give that she would otherwise been unable to do. And yes i continue to feel emotional when I hear her sing. ❤

What a wonderful memory. Dolly is an angel on Earth and that's for sure.

The QUEEN. No one compares at all. Sings with no need for tricks or auto tune, even now she can sing anyone under the table.

Everyone has a “Jolene” in their lives 😢 Classic song ❤

You should see her play guitar with those nails! It's absolutely amazingly wonderful.

Dolly's such a classy lady. Even when she writes a song about a woman she's angry at, she just sounds like she's writing a love letter to her. Most songs like this are filled with hate and puffed up insecure pride. Instead, she's humble and genuinely begging her to please not do what she's doing. It shows, I think, that her love for him is real and this isn't just about competition or being scorned.

Yep, she sang something on The Late Show, and I about burst into tears. It broke your heart.

Dolly is an international treasure. Her Imagination Library program provides free books every month from birth to starting school for all children whose parents sign up. She donated $1 million to research for Covld vaccines, and many other charities.

I’m glad you are introducing Dolly Parton to people who might not know who she is. Her musical talent is amazing, to be sure. For me, her greatest asset is the sincerity of her heart. She has lived her entire life with honesty, love for all, humility, kindness, generosity, and grace. All you need to do to be the best you that you can be is to live every day like her. ❤

For whatever reason, every time she sings this song, it's different every time. Sometimes, like this video, she sounds more confident and powerful, but other times she is more soft and reserved, but either way it always sounds incredible.

Her rendition of "I will always love you" that she sang to Porter Wagoner back in 1974 is totally classic. She wrote it for him when she left his show as a regular feature singer to go out on her own. He took it hard and the song was her way of asking his blessing.

Dolly Parton - coat of many colors .... fantastic message in the lyrics

Nobody is like Dolly.. one of kind.. special gift to us all.. aways been my favorite!

Every time I see Dolly Parton sing, "Jolene" I get shivers and tear up a little. It's such a raw, naked narrative it's not hard to hear the pain and terror in her voice.

I think her songwriting is underrated. This is a beautiful, beatiful song from a woman came from genuine poverty but never felt sorry for herself or uses a victim narrative. An absolute legend !!!
