My favourite Dolly quote is "I've been called a dumb blonde but I know I'm neither dumb or blonde'. You've got to admire a woman who grew up without a put to piss in to be worth half a billion dollars
Lol I get called dumb blonde by people who have a way lower gpa than I do. hahahah
I'm not a blonde, but a man I know used to say to me, "I can see your blonde roots, Mary." Hmmmm...I responded by saying, "Better blonde roots than no roots." He was bald.
Mine is: “This woman that used to walk the streets had all this makeup and hair, high heel shoes. I thought she was so beautiful. And everybody used to say, ‘Oh, she ain’t nothin’ but trash.’ And I used to say, ‘Well that’s what I’m gonna be when I grow up-trash!"
@@AmeliaRoselina I resemble that remark, on both counts, I am bald and blonde. But I have an awesome beard to compensate, which is also blonde, I like to say that my hair migrated south for the winter, it continues to migrate south
@@livesincanoe9034 Hahahaha...great answer. I like bald by the way. On both men and women.
She jokes a LOT. "Jolene" is extremely exaggerated. It was never an issue. Dolly just put her humor into it.
This performance was in 1988. This is still one of the most requested of her songs. And she's still going strong.
"Coat of many colors" is a sweet memory of her childhood.
Also, when you look into her further, you'll notice how flashy she is. She says "Hey. It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." Not afraid to joke about herself.
Everyone loves Dolly.
Dolly is a national treasure.....shes written tons of songs for other people that would surprise you....oh and on another note shes been married for like 50 years so that one whoopin was enough lol
On top of being a talented singer/songwriter, she is a generous philanthropist and helps numerous less fortunate people in our country.
She is a remarkable woman who does not toot her own horn.
@@sandralouth3103 She wears it for all to see, she's inescapably Dolly!
Yes, I’m African American and was raised on Dolly movies and music! She is it!! That accent and voice….hence why she is exactly who she is! Beautiful! ❤️
T little Whore House in Texas were my favorites. Lol
Me too! Especially her movies. 9 to 5 and The be
Dolly is an absolute gem! "Coat of Many Colors", "Dumb Blonde", "9-5", "Two Doors Down", "I Will Always Love You", and anything else she's done.
She's the queen of country, all her songs are just as popular today as they were when she first wrote them...she writes all her songs. She's a living legend!!!
Dolly is an Icon. She sings, writes, acts, and has Jokes. You don’t have to like Country music to Love Dolly Parton.
Dolly’s not just extremely talented, funny, self-deprecating & generous, she’s as tough as nails w/one heck of a head for business! Love her.
Dolly Parton built her theme park very specifically where it is to help the people of that impoverished region. She provides endless financial aid to those in need, especially in the East TN mountain region. She firmly speaks out for equality and human rights for every one. She has always been a savvy businesswoman, and woe to anyone who underestimates the brilliant mind under the wigs and makeup. She knows exactly what she's doing and has from the very beginning, "laughing all the way to the bank", as she says. If you haven't already, learn more about this complex gem of a person.
Dolly Parton is story teller and had written 3000 songs by 1979. Her song “Coat of many Colors” is a true story and I would recommend live performances. I highly recommend “Dolly Parton’s Stairway to Heaven” (cover).
Dolly is now the Queen of Country, and treated like royalty in the Country World, and even more.
Dolly didn't beat up her husband, she's joking. Bank teller was flirting with her husband. The name Jolene is a pretty little girl who wanted an autograph. So Dolly wrote this song.
Yes I just added this before I saw your post!
@@ridingtheroad185 No problem. So many people think that Dolly beat them(bank teller & husband) up. Dolly likes to joke. Her way off taking care of things is to write a song. l bet if she had to physically fight with someone, she wouldn't back down. Now Loretta did both. She gave just as good as she got. Then she'd write a song.lol
You beat me to it. You're correct.
Yes. He took her a little too seriously.
Our lady of the holler, Slayer of Jolene, Mother of butterflies, Patron saint of birthing mothers, Champion of literacy, Teacher of children.
Her Royal Majesty Queen Dolly, First of her name. Long may she reign!
Dolly is very humble, and nice.
"Coat of Many Colors" is her first hit.
Amen, makes me cry every time. Shows who she is... genuine, humble, a beautiful soul!
He’s Alive. I love that.
Wouldn't want anyone to quote you so her first hit is here...not a long-lasting one to be sure, but it's the "real" first hit she had is Joshua ua-cam.com/video/ZFobROlmWxI/v-deo.html
All I know is, I heard “Coat of Many Colors” as a young kid listening to AM radio on the walk-talkie my grandmother gave me for Christmas. I was captivated.
Coat of Many Colors makes me so emotional...one of her top 10 songs
Coat of Many Colors and 9 to 5 are MUST listens by Dolly
The 9 to 5 movie is a hoot also!!! ❤️❤️
3:00 "Okay. She's great." This is so gratifying. Dolly Parton is a legit national treasure, and a true artist and musician. I watched a recent video of her reacting to covers of her songs, and she did these little harmonies without a thought. And they gave me actual chills. Music just flows out of her, straight from the source. Also, oddly enough, a fascinating and incredible autobiography.
Dolly Parton is one of the most prolific song writers that ever lived.
You need to listen to Dolly sing ‘ I will always love you’, she wrote it too.
Usually county music isn't my cup of tea but Dolly transcends genre. She is a national treasure. She has a heart of gold. She has a program where she mails millions of books to children. She helped local families rebuild after the forest fires in the Smokies and she's donates millions of dollars to help create a Covid vaccine. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Dolly wrote this song the same night that she wrote "I Will Always Love You"...yeah, that song...the one that Whitney Houston covered years later. Dolly took it to the top of the country charts THREE times herself though. You should listen to the original recording from the early 70s vs. the 80's version here.
Agreed! I love the original '70's version of 'Jolene' - it has a layered richness to it, complimented by Dolly's pure sweet voice. She's excellent live. no denying that, but Jolene has an amazing quality (intimacy?) that loses something with a live band 'over-playing' it....if that makes sense. But I could listen to Dolly forever....and I'm normally here for Eminem reactions!
Love your show....but my question to you: "where have you been??? To not have heard some of this music before?????" ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the why she wrote the song. It wasn't a romantic love song, she wrote it for Porter Wagner. He was a big country and gospel musician way back in the day. He was kind of a surrogate father for her in the industry, he gave her her first real start, and when she really started to get famous, he told her that she had outgrown him, so she wrote that song to thank him and let him know that she would never forget what he had done for her.
@@lorirussell6679 Showing Dolly's spirit too, Porter ended up in financial trouble and lost the rights to his music through a bankruptcy. Dolly bought his music catalogue at auction and gave it back to him.
@@lorirussell6679 You're thinking of "I Will Always Love You" I believe...
You really should watch her sing this with Pentatonix...gorgeous!
ABSOLUTELY watch her perform this with Pentatonix!!! It's so well done!!👍😄✌
She also donated 15 million dollars towards finding a treatment for COVID-19. She is the original writer and singer of “I Will Always Love You”. She appreciated the royalty checks from Whitney singing her song. She has written 3000 songs. Coat of many colors is another great true song. She grew up in a one room shack with 12 siblings. She has a reading program that all children can have free books. She is beautiful at 74-78 years old!
Dolly is still married to the same man for 54 years now. The song is about her being on the road and away from her husband so long. It's about her own insecurities she had to overcome. I'm not saying her husband wasn't a flirt, but lets say they both have had an "arrangement" that's allowed their marriage to hold up all these years.
What has always made this song so relatable is that even DOLLY can look like she does and still feel threatened by another woman's beauty. Dolly is the kind of woman who can just exist and make many other women feel inadequate. She's not just phenomenally pretty and cute, but her body has always been so vampy. But it's her sweet personality that balances it out, so she's not coming across as pornographic or trying too hard. Also, the song is vulnerable-- it's not "Back off bitch, he's mine---" it's "Please don't take him just because you can." You have to be a confident woman to admit that someone else has power over you, even in a song. Great choice, Dolly IS in your wheelhouse and now you know why she's such a legend!
Dolly is an exceptional human and I'm happy you're getting to know her. Coat of many colors is my favorite.
I'm sure you would like The Trio...Dolly Parton, Emmy-Lou Harris and Linda Ronstad, three beautiful voices in perfect harmony. All from different backgrounds, but they blended so well.
Yeees! An astonishing trio 🖤
I hope and pray he listens to The Trio with Dolly, LInda Ronstat and Emmy lou Harris!!
And by the way...Dolly can sing aaaaanything. She wrote 9 to 5. for the movie of the same name....amongst MANY OTHERS FOR different musical artists! She's truly a legend in her own time!!
Oh, the harmonies from that album are beautiful.
"There are two kinds of men in this world… Those who are in love with Emmy-Lou Harris, and those who have not met Emmy-Lou Harris.”
- Willie Nelson
She gives a lot of money time for Tennessee - when a fire burned a lot of peoples houses down in Gatlinburg she built them back
She’s not called a National Treasure for nothing…try “Hard Candy Christmas “, one of my all time faves along with the others listed in the comments. Oh! And “Two Doors Down “.
Hard Candy Christmas is a staple in my music library year-round.
the bridge, is for me, the song with themost beautiful lyrics. She was a pioneer with this song. talking about loosing a child in the 50s!!!! A real diamond!
COAT OF MANY COLORS it's a true story that tells you where Dolly comes from and is my favorite Dolly Parton song.
If you knew Dolly you'd know she is rarely serious about herself. I doubt she actually committed domestic violence.
She probably just grabbed a hold of his ear, drug him up to the bedroom, and gave him a night that would make any man forget a thousand Jolenes! (blush)
Ms. Patron's husband is at least a foot taller than she is. She's a tiny lady, very petite.
I am she he was smacked for embarrassing her.
@@rebeccaketner816 Want to preface this by saying dolly is perfect she can do no wrong, but just a little PSA you can be abused by someone much smaller than you. Especially when that makes you feel like you can't defend yourself
dolly could be a comedian, her timing and sharp wit and everything...she's got it
Dolly Parton is a genuinely good and decent human being. Among many things she’s selflessly done, for every child born in TN she sends them a book a month until they are school age from her Imagination Library. She also more recently donated a cool million dollars to the research & invention of the Moderna Covid vaccine, and now is listed in the New England Journal Of Medicine forevermore, credited as a contributor of that medical breakthrough.
The Imagination Library is true gem!
She sends to more places too!!! I'm in Ohio and my daughter and son get her books every month!
@@justfrankiejane7388After 'Country Music', I'm just waiting for her very own, much-deserved PBS Ken Burns documentary🤩💯
Thank you Dolly for Moderna. Got my Fauci ouchie in March. You are one hell of a woman.
Dolly also provides a $500 scholarship to every student in Sevier County, TN who wished to attend the nearby Hiwassee College, in an effort to boost graduation rates in the region and improve college attendance. Also, every year, five high school seniors in Sevier County, Tennessee, are awarded the Dolly Parton Scholarship, which provides $15,000 for each recipient to pursue a college education. The scholarship is, according to the Dollywood Foundation, given to students who “have a dream they wish to pursue and who can successfully communicate their plan and commitment to realize their dreams.”
Yes. Know Dolly. She is a pillar of American music and culture. Her appeal is nearly universal, like Johnny Cash. Oh, Yeah. Know Johnny Cash too.
My favorite of hers: Coat of Many Colors.
I just can't believe you haven't heard Dolly Parton till now. I know her for ages and I am from Romania.
That blew me away too!
I’ll say it again, Allison Krauss.
“When you say nothing at all “
She’ll melt your heart
Allison Krauss's Jubilee is one of my all-time favorite songs. Just beautiful.
You should know all about Dolly! Check out her community work! She has taken care of the people of Gatlinburg and pigeon forge for years!!
This and her version of ‘House of the Rising Sun’ are two of my all time favorites.
She was a prolific song writer.... "I Will Always Love You", famously covered by Whitney Houston for The Bodyguard was written by Dolly.
In fact when Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston's characters are in a western bar, Dolly is on the jukebox singing the original version.
Dolly is one of the best of the best!!!
How could anyone be more beautiful than Dolly?
Shes written over 3500 songs! Check out Coat of Many Colors
I agree. It’s my favorite Dolly song. They’ve made a movie of it.
You will never forget her now. We are all blessed to have her with us. She is just a little Tennessee girl.
The best concert I ever experienced was a Dolly Parton show. She has great stage presence, amazing crowd work and a special musical talent.
i love that it only took 3 jolenes "ok she's great" She's a legend!!!
Dolly is a National Treasure!!! There will be millions who weep when she is gone. She is beautiful, a humanitarian, funny, sweet and talented beyond anyone.
Dolly started out with the Porter Wagoner Show (now he had some flashy clothes!) dolly once said in an interview, “It cost me a lot of money to look this trashy.” Referring to her makeup and big hair and flashy clothes.
Who doesn’t Love Dolly???
Dolly Parton is a gem in just about every way possible
💕Love your channel! Dolly Parton not only is one of the best singer and song writers of all time. She is an extremely savvy business woman. She wrote a song that Elvis wanted to sing and buy … she said “no.” She keeps the rights to her songs hence she has done beyond well. Besides any of that they gives hundreds of thousands of books and money toward literacy. Above that she gives without having her name put on a building. She gives from her heart. Her kindness is boundless and I believe if you listened to any of her songs they will move you. She came from abject poverty. Beyond poverty. The song “Coat of Many Colors “ is a true story/song of a coat her mom sewed for her to go to school. It will bring you to tears. Very well known song. She is a beautiful person outside but she is a beyond beautiful human being inside. 💕💕💕Oh she did none of those things such as beating . They are still very happily married to this day in October of 2021. That’s her humor. Yes he has thousands of wigs…. Well you just have to know her …💕💕💕💕💕
Oh, and you'd have a great time watching the movie "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Dolly, Burt Reynolds, Dom Delouise, and Jim Nabors.
9 to 5 is a better movie to start
Love that movie
Love them both. I was surprised how good an actor she is with the right script. Ditto Kenny Rogers and Reba McEntire.
She’s an Angel, she has helped so many people
Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline ... these ladies sang about their lives and brought all of us along with them. I had the privilege of seeing all of these ladies when I was very little. And no, that is Dolly's body. She had that body when I was a toddler, lol, and seeing her live at Opryland and the Grand Ole Opry!
Dolly is an American Classic! Her songs are stories and she can sell them! She also has done film, is a fabulous song writer and is credited as one of the toughest and best business women around. Do not be confused by her soft looks and lyrics!
Listen to Coat of Many Colors!!! It is so rich with meaning.
She is the second most nominated female grammy winner and written over 5000 songs
Another one of her top songs is 9 to 5. It was also a good movie. One of the actors in the movie was Dolly Parton.
She also had a beautiful song Coat of Many Colors.
Dolly Parton has written many songs that have not been recorded; she is such a treasure to so many people, what a wonderful Lady !!
A note Dolly Parton is still married to the same man; he is rarely seen in public !
Dolly is a legend and Jolene is a country classic.
Dolly grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of East TN. In a large and very poor, poverty stricken family and community. She has been so generous with her success in contributing to helping, who she calls, her people. She built Dollywood in her home area to provide a place for her family that is still there and all the other people of the mountains, to give them a place to work and earn a living. When the Smoky Mountains caught fire and spread through Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and surrounding areas, she came running to help. She has a big heart for those that struggle. Because she lived that life and knows what it is like. Most all of the old time country and bluegrass artist, came from a very poor life. Like Loretta Lynn’s song that she wrote about her life, Coal Miners daughter.
DOLLY IS A QUEEN!!! I saw her live a few years ago and it was probably the best concert Ive ever been to. She sang so beautifully, but it was so much more than just her singing. She was friendly and loving and joked around. She told the sweetest stories about her family and her childhood. She is so talented! She's also a super philanthropist and has done much for a lot of people. She's literally a Saint.
One of the songs that always makes me tear up is her Coat of Many Colors. Dolly grew up poor as dirt in the hills of East Tennessee. She sings about her life. Just like Loretta Lynn's Coal Miner's Daughter.
Dolly was one of influences as a kid. Her sass and shade was too good. And her voice is iconic.
Dolly is an exceptional individual, one of my favorite singers/songwriters. She's also an author of Children books and has an organization that gives children free books. A child can get a book a month. #DollyTheBadass
Dolly is a national treasure and incredible songwriter and performer. She could do standup! Among her gajillion amazing songs: 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors, her duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”….
So glad Dolly never sold I Will Aleays Love You to Elvis! Dolly is a TN treasure.
Dolly is an
American Treasure, and a real Shero!! 💃
Dolly is literally one of the best people on earth. No hyperbole.
Dolly writes all her music and is a great performer. Thanks. She wrote I Will always love you covered by Whitney Houston!
She's a great lady. Her husband and she have been married for over 50 years. Great songwriter. Yes, was big hit.
Dolly Parton is one of those genuinely good people.
She has a foundation that sends out free children's books to kids from Birth to age 5 from her Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. All a parent needs to do is to send her a letter or sign up on her website. Last year she hit the milestone of giving away her 150 millionth Book!!
Last year, Dolly Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which worked with the drug maker Moderna to develop one of the first coronavirus vaccines to be authorized in the United States.
These are just some of the many charitable acts that she does.
I grew up seeing Dolly every where. It was the eighties. She had a lot of Christmas specials.
Dolly is beyond amazing as a singer and even more as a person. She is only not a billionaire because she gives so much charity. 💜🥰
Dolly is a National Treasure. Besides her singing and song writing she has a foundation that mails free books to kids. She also provided a $1,000,000 to Vanderbilt University to help develop the Moderna vaccine for Covid 19. Her amusement park in Sevierville, TN was built to provide jobs for people in the area where she grew up.
She is one of the greatest! Singer, writer and performer
She also started a charity that mails you children's books from birth to the start to school. It started in TN and is now in Us, Uk, Canada and Australia
You need to hear her sing Mule Skinner Blues!!!
Dolly is a world wide phenomenon! Dollywood, the park she is part owner in is visited by people from all over the world. Many hoping to see her. She has written over 3000 songs including "I will always love you." Sung by Whitney Houston in the body guard. Jolene was never more than a possible flirting glance by a bank teller. She and her husband have been married over 50 years and she is now 75 and going strong. Yes she is 5 foot nothing very tiny. She has started a program that sends children books. From birth to 5 I think and has sent out millions to children all over. Glad you found her. Look up coat of many colors. There is also a movie of the story.
I would love to see you react to Lil Nas X cover of this because it the same words...but a whole different experience. Both are excellent.
Dolly singing her song I Will Always Love You, she wrote it and let Whitney sing it.
She also sings "He's Alive" one of my absolute favorite songs! ❤
Dolly parton is a prolific song writer. At one time had the number one song of all time,
I will always love you
She sent Whitney Houston Christmas presents .
Oh and she had it at number one for a long time decades earlier. She's Beyonce big. She was an entertainment force.
You are missing out if you don't know Dollys music
She’s so smart and an amazing business woman .. she has a water park and an amusement park in Gatlinburg TN .. she’s wrote many songs .. her most famous is K Will Always Love you .. Elvis wanted it and the rights to it but she said no even tho she knew he was the King.. years later Kevin Costner asked her if Whitney Houston could sing it for a little known movie The Bodyguard. My fav movie ! Dolly said hell yes cause that young lady is gonna make me rich!! She was right and it was Whitney’s biggest hit and the soundtrack to the movie Bodyguard is still the number one soundtrack ever .. Dolly said she was driving when it came on the radio and she heard Whitney’s version .. she was so overwhelmed w emotion she had to pull over and listen to it . She’s my hero !
Dolly has been married for over 50 years.
Tons of music. She’s a great comedian. Watch some clip of her in late night talk shows. She’s written songs you probably thought belonged to others.
A song that’s a complete opposite is The Bridge.
Dolly grew up in the Smokey Mountains in a shack. She was one of several children, I believe one of 12, and she wrote her song Coat of Many Colors, which you would like as it’s a true story and she just put it into words. You should watch her documentary. Elvis also wanted to record her song I Will Always Love You, but Dolly turned him down as he wanted to receive royalties off the song. Dolly is country music and she’s wonderful. The sweetest, cutest, funniest, nicest woman.
Dolly Parton is a literal rags-to-riches success. She was born in 1946 in a one-room cabin on the bank of a river in rural Tennessee, one of 12 children. She talks about her father paying the doctor that delivered her with a bag of cornmeal because there wasn't any money. (Not so uncommon in the rural south back then.) Not only did she rise through her talent, she has given back to the people of Tennessee over the years (rebuilding homes after a fire, etc.) She is, as you say, a commendable person. Oh, and the tall tales she's telling are part of Scots-Irish/Mountain culture. She didn't really beat her husband up.
I just went to Nashville for a mini trip and had a shirt made - "Jolene, you can have him! Love, Dolly". 😂 I'm not the most knowledgeable about country music but I do love Dolly, her very humble beginnings, and rise to success.
9 to 5, Here you Come Again
Dolly is the ultimate story teller.
Miss Dolly is everything. Again, a good friend of my mother's back in the day. I remember her when I was a kid and she is the most genuine, caring, and loving person on the planet.
She is truely a beautiful person inside and out. Yes she is short.
Dolly is one of a kind. Also you have the best soft spoken voice ever.
Probably one of America’s best story tellers. No Cap! If you haven’t checked out “Coat of many Colors” it’s a definite MUST! It’s a true story.
1. I Will Always Love You. 2.Working 9 to 5 3. He's Alive 4. Coat of many Colors is just to name some, there are so many to pick through. To this day she writes and sings. Not to mention the movies she has done. She's also done several songs with other musical artists, such as Kenny Roger's.
Dolly has come up with several stories about how this song was created…she tells a story about a little red haired girl that she met and the little girls name was Jolene and she LOVED her name and thought it was so unique and told her she was going to use it for a song
Her "Coat of Many Colors" is a classic.
Dolly is a very prolific song writer. Many artists have done her songs. Dolly is not afraid to try other songs and she puts her own spin on them. Many of the songs she does tell a story. She shares her faith through her gospel songs. I love her version of ''He's Alive'' . She did an incredible version of ''Stairway to Heaven'' on her album titled Halos and Horns.
my dad loved the hell out of her it took a while but she grew on me she is still so pretty but her i think she was at her peak esthetically here she minded her looks well but i could listen to her on a blacked out room with a blind fold on today she makes me want to hug her and never let go i wouldn't have wanted the life she chose but i would have followed her any where if she just ask or at least i feel that way today. she wore her fame on her sleeve it was her way of being publicly humble and people loved her for that alone. she had a number of her own shows on tv over the years and i don't think my dad missed one episode and if he did he'd get pretty cranky about that quiet as he was he's let you know about that one. anyway she's a treasure grounded in bluegrass and the sunshine that made every thing in the appellations grow.
Just my two cents- if this is the first time hearing this song, the live performance here is not gonna give you the full impact. For one, the story in the beginning is obviously a joke and undercuts the emotional resonance of the lyrics. Also, that guitar riff is *legendary* and should be appreciated all on its own (rather than having dialogue over it, like here). Fun fact- when Porter Wagoner wanted to produce the track, he was trying to teach that riff to a studio player and Dolly was upset that he just wasn't getting it, so she grabbed the guitar and played it and that's the take they used.
Dolly Parton has written over 3,000 songs. Many songs that you are familiar with and know well were actually written by Dolly including the cover song that was made famous by Whitney Houston "I'll always love you".
Dolly was on the old Porter Wagner show on Saturday evenings, back in the early 1960s. We'd think it sexist and patronizing now, but he'd always introduce her as "the purty little girl in the purty dress" -- I think she was in her mid teens at the time? Played guitar and sang. A treasure.
