She is a true talent... sounds amazing live, no lip syncing or voice synthesizing like so many artists do today to make themselves appear to be more talented singers than they really are.
This was lovely. I watch that movie every year as one of my Christmas traditions. I only live little hop, skip and a jump from The Smokies (I'm in Kentucky). Dolly will always be Our Country Angel
She really turned it around on Johnny after he made fun of her singing. Without being unkind, she took control of the conversation, got the audience back on her side and put Johnny on the spot. Bravo Dolly!
So impressive the way Dolly handles the insult from Johnny, making fun of her voice. Just starts jingle bells instead of trying to retaliate or defend. Love to Dolly
@mama T An "open tuning" means that the strings are tuned to make an actual chord, so the musician just needs to lay her finger across the fretboard and move it up and down, rather than make actual chords with her fingers. It looks to me as if Dolly is doing that here.
I got to work with her in a studio in Nashville and she really is like royalty and we were in ah because feeling love that she generated. See she’s doing it here.
I'm guessing that Dolly is a take-no-mess session leader; she knows what she wants, and I'm sure she knows how to get the best out of everyone, and I bet she broaches no slacking or bullschitt. I'd love to see one of her sessions.
Wannabe , in fact when I moved from Philadelphia 14 years ago I've never gone back to visit family and friends ... but finally have wanted to for the past year-and-a-half .
How very sad, I grew up poor but I did not know I was poor. My daddy joined the Navy at 17 and married my mama at 18 and had my brother at 19 and had me at almost 21. Once he worked his way up to an officer, Lieutenant Commander we had so much more, but we never thought about what we had when we were younger. I tear up when I think of all the hours my mama spent on a non-electric sewing machine making clothes for my sister and I. She always felt that I needed two baby dolls for Christmas and every Christmas no matter how poor we were or how cheap the dolls were I always got two dolls from Santa. We grew up happy, and I have such happy memories until the day my brother was killed in Vietnam in 1968. The Joy was gone from our family for a long time, but it was still in our hearts deep down. When we got to the point where we could talk about him, we would have long conversations of our childhood and the things that we did and the fun things we did with a thoughtful of marbles you could take a half a dozen kids and have a ball all you have to do is find a dirty spot that you can draw a circle into. Kids don't know about things like that now everything is electronic, yet I have such a great memories of doing it. I would go back to my roots in a heartbeat. Of course I am sort of still there. Because of daddy being in the Navy I grew up up and down the East Coast just from one navy base to another. Then I left home to go to college, and moved back to my hometown where I was born. And then I guess I had the moving bug from being in the Navy but I have worked in florida, alabama, tennessee, New York, Georgia, North carolina, and the Alaska bush. I was happy everywhere I went and with the exception of New York, I could have spent the rest of my life in any of those towns many of them towns with a lot of poor people and while I am no longer poor the people in the town I live in right now are nowhere near rich, and I feel like I have going back to my roots because I guess I never really left them. I am actually now living in the town I was born in.
A great quote from Dolly, "I'm not unhappy about turning 40, I'm unhappy because I'm FAT & 40!" She's always looked great, but I'm certain she feels much healthier after the weight loss. Truth be told, I would bet she began to experience back pain as time went on, due to her "proportions". She is a really petite person & being "that" big on top, it's only a matter of time before physical problems take place as a result. Certainly the weight loss has helped with this.
Piano celeb , true we grew up watching the Johnny Carson show . It was always on in our home . There's a wonderful biography here on UA-cam that you can listen to . It's simply called Johnny Carson by Henry Bushkin . I can't recall but I think Bush can recites it himself . Fascinating book and a lot that I did not know . It's the kind of book from which they should really make an outstanding miniseries if they could find somebody that looks , sounds and moves like Johnny Carson . And if you end up liking that you might like the one about the life of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones ... also here on UA-cam by audiobooks . And there was one by Joan Rivers which sort of overlaps with some of the material in the Johnny Carson book .
This is exactly how my future soon-to-be fiancee's/wife-to-be's/beautiful wife's/spouse's best friend/girlfriend would have her well-manicured acrylic nails trimmed from long to medium length so that it would be easy for her to apply that red nail polish 💅
Gosh, I feel Dollys weight is over talked about through the years, I mean really....it's been talked about too much,it's like talking about nothing important...meaning she's ALWAYS been beautiful all through the years and EXTREMELY talented , sweet person.
Stephen Austin, I saw an old interview of her here on the tube with Barbara Walters and it doesn't give any date ... but I don't think it was any older than maybe my team 1974 ,75 ... if even that .
I've always want to tell someone this.... What's left of me (Santa) Denver was originally built by the United way and the Salvation Army because I needed to be able to pee..... Santa Claus
I used to..... I used to bring you real dolls made of plastic when I ran Denver..... you used to sneak out, we met the very first time in real life that way, it was before Avie made that coat..... you had no idea Denver existing nor these other convicts in real life..... I brought berets and hair ties from the future too... lipsticks, powders, perfumes.... the boys got guns and balls and all kinds of stuff..... Santa
I used to use some of the old cash for returning letters Santa.... you'd ask for things and I'd send you enough money to buy that in real life because Mrs. CLAUSE WON'T LET ME PEE
It's called open tuning, and it's because of her long nails, she wouldn't be able to form major chords. So, she open tunes it to say "C", then this allows there to bar the strings, (chords) up the fretboard....so for example, if in C, and she needs to go to an F, she would just bar the 5th fret. and if she needs another chord, she would just bar on a different fret. It makes it alot easier and doable with those long nails.
In real life, normally I'm the only man their is that knows about Denver.... I used to have a shalet with Dolly in Denver, little her had no idea there was such a thing....... We used to make our own childhoods better so we didn't suspect anything in real life was like a theme...... when Dolly and I ran Denver like normal..... No one knew there was such a thing...... we normal used it to improve our own childhoods as Santa and Mrs. CLAUSE IN REAL LIFE...... THE GOVORNMENT KNEW IT WAS THERE AND THEY'D USE THE SALVATION ARMY TO BRING US IN REAL LIFE I shit you not Everthing in the letters to Santa........ Denver used to be the North Pole for the U.S. Postal service..... Dolly would retire, I'm old and we'd just remember stuff that we really needed or wanted to add a little to our own look since it was our idea but we bought the stuff for ourselves anyhow, that way we could always tell our stupid brothers and sisters that we were Santa and Mrs. CLAUSE FAVORITE AND LISTEN TO OUR LITTLE SELVES SAY I'M GONNA MARRY MRS. CLAUSE SOMEDAY OR I'M GONNA MARRY SANTA WHEN I GROW UP IF HRS DUMB ENOUGH TO LEAVE THE PRICE TAG ON STUFF THIS EXPENSIVE....., Santa
Denver? It used to be in real life, that there was a Dolly I was married to, no one what so ever knew there was such a thing in real life..... we used to deliver presents to ourselves and our childhood friends and stuff by using lawyers that can break into hospital surgery suits that wouldn't know how to obey the law if they tried... oO £ucifer Morningstar a.k.a Santa nirmally, never heard of goes down this time what so ever..... oO £ucifer
I wish in real life some one would understand that I most just take notes about some of the illegal as hell things I hear..... Eric Joel Brostad a.k.a. Dillon
The reason I asked, in real life if all of our lives are a movie, I dare ya'll to fined out in real life what happens when we are at home and tell me that we couldn't make a real movie that someone would want to watch instead of the movie, THEY make....... King David Windsor Rittenhouse Xii
@@liveordiem.t.5468 well thats the point... ffs... cmon... she PURPOSELY dressed up as an elf, its an outfit she wears in the movie LIKE SHE SAID 2 EFFIN TIMES.,.
She sings it like she's telling you a genuine story in her life, straight from the heart, right then and there.
Only Dolly Parton can wear a goofy elf costume, cheap jewelry, and a giant platinum-blonde wig and still be classy.

dolly is the most beautiful person alive.
Her voice is incredible.
Smoky Mountain Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever!
me too!
She touches my heart as no one ever did
She's so kind&giving.
She is a true talent... sounds amazing live, no lip syncing or voice synthesizing like so many artists do today to make themselves appear to be more talented singers than they really are.
She has always been a class act.
I never thought Dolly was fat but this interview she seem proud about her weight loss. She's always been beautiful 😇
She was thick in the early 80s but not really noticeable by modern standards.
This was lovely. I watch that movie every year as one of my Christmas traditions. I only live little hop, skip and a jump from The Smokies (I'm in Kentucky). Dolly will always be Our Country Angel
A hop, skip and a jump? That's cool, but that's not how I'm gettin' there. ;p
She really turned it around on Johnny after he made fun of her singing. Without being unkind, she took control of the conversation, got the audience back on her side and put Johnny on the spot. Bravo Dolly!
So impressive the way Dolly handles the insult from Johnny, making fun of her voice. Just starts jingle bells instead of trying to retaliate or defend. Love to Dolly
My all time favorite Christmas movie ever!! Love it and love her!! Dolly is the QUEEN OF COUNTRY 🎶🙌🏻🎧❤️
What's the name of the movie?
The title of the video
First and Foremost , I think it's simply called a Smoky Mountain Christmas
Dolly and Whitney had Jesus what a beautiful light they carried in the world!❤
I love her. She’s such a beautiful person and she is just as much out of a legend then you can get God bless her.❤️🙏✝️
No idea how she can make chords without those fingernails getting in the way -- but she does it! God bless Dolly always.
She uses open tuning, so she only has to press between the frets to change key. There, now you know :)
@@bwenjones670 Yes, that's what Dolly said herself.
Dolly is a National treasure! And Smoky Mountain Christmas is one of my very favorite Christmas movies! 🥰🎄
Singing live while strumming her guitar with those nails 💅🏻
I just noticed -- she has that guitar tuned to an open tuning. I wonder if she always does it that way.
@mama T An "open tuning" means that the strings are tuned to make an actual chord, so the musician just needs to lay her finger across the fretboard and move it up and down, rather than make actual chords with her fingers. It looks to me as if Dolly is doing that here.
Oh lord, Dolly!!! It is possible playing guitar with long nails.. Thank you! 😂😂😂
BRILLIANT beautiful Dolly !
This made me happy.
I got to work with her in a studio in Nashville and she really is like royalty and we were in ah because feeling love that she generated. See she’s doing it here.
Amazing! I would love to work with Dolly one day. Till then, let's work on music together :)
chief Sounds like you’re doing good.
@@ronniebishop2496 I'm trying my friend! I've learned a lot from Dolly's songwriting :)
chief Me too.

Smokey mountain Christmas is my favorite movie of all time
she's soooo awesome
She is a pure class! ❤️
I love you Dolly. You are just divine. God bless you Always.
Love Dolly she's as beautiful inside and out one amazing singer actress song writer and other talent
My grandmother is the only person I’ve ever heard “wish books” from until now.
I'm 44 and I couldn't wait to get the big, fat catalogs from Sears, JCPenny and others and circling all the toys I wanted, haha
Glad someone loves where they grew up at. I wouldn’t go back to my roots for twenty million dollars. Too many horrible memories.
Wannabe ... sometimes I feel that way ; I'm from suburban Philly .
Can you please tell me where you're from ?

What a light Dolly is💕💕💕💕
I heard this about somebody else but I'll say this about Dolly Parton she could sing out of a phone book and make a hit
loved A Smoky Mountain Christmas
What an Angel
We owned property not far from hers in the Smokies.
Kimberlee , You mean when you were growing up ?
Selam .Geçerken uğradım.🍀
I prefer Dolly before the weight loss
Adam Price I do too. That was the Dolly I fell for...when she was a little heavier.
Gosh, I feel Dollys weight is over talked about through the years, I mean really....it's been talked about too much,it's like talking about nothing important...meaning she's ALWAYS been beautiful all through the years and EXTREMELY talented , sweet person.
Yes she was more cute and girly
Wow 😳. Wow 😳. Wow that's awesome I love you. Baby 💞💞
hmm, she likes the same things I do.
She wasn’t even that BIG in size prior. She had meat and buns. Lol. Anyway
we were so poor our mother would cut the pockets out of our jeans so we would have something to play with xmas morning when we put them on .
what year was this?
Stephen Austin ... 1986

Open tunings are very convenient, sometimes
Eric Genest I just saw that!! With those nails there’s no other way lol
Ok..
🤠
