Dolly has written so many songs over the years. Most of her songs are true stories from her life. I Will Always Love You is very famous for the tune but the words are true from her heart. When she started out, she worked with Porter Wagoner. There came a time when she wanted to go out on her own and he was very angry. She wrote I Will Always Love You as her last gift to him.
My girlfriend and I traveling interstate 40 through Tennessee decided to detour and got married in a chapel on a mountain top in Dolly’s hometown of Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Have visited the area many times in the twenty seven years since. Beautiful area.
The purity of the story and her voice is unable to fake. That's really Dolly. Dolly returned to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with all of her wealth and built a popular family resort (country style Disneyland) that emplyees 4,000 people in a place that desperately needed jobs. She also is again famous for her charity that provides free books for children. Dolly is the real deal. 😊
@@angieday5183 The park was failing and falling apart and about to be shut down ,Dolly stepped in fixed it up and brought in new rides etc and took it over.
Again you had to go and make me cry. I remember ages ago when I was really young that my mother told me she had to make my siblings clothes because she did not have money.i came from a family of 4 brothers and 3 sisters I was the youngest. We weren't rich with money but rich with love and that was enough for us. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
If anyone should be a millionaire it’s Dolly Parton. She deserves all her wealth and has demonstrably given back her wealth to those in need. Everyone loves Dolly ❤️
Yes I love she stands up to right wing conservatives especially in support of women, children and the LQBTQ community. She is a national treasure and patriot.
Here is another great storytelling song she wrote. This live version is the best because she explains how the song came about. (cut and paste) Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You (Live) The one where she is wearing a dark blue sequenced dress.
Mannnn .. I blinked away tears to see you doing the same. :) .. Dolly was what we call "dirt poor" .. that usually refers to a home with a pounded clay/dirt floor
She wrote the song on the back of two laundry tickets from Porter Wagner's rhinestone suits. I've heard her tell the story of how that happened on the tour bus one day.
Hi I've known of this song for about a year and this video is the best version I love watching her fingers picking it reminds of bluegrass love your reaction love Dolly please react to Al Stewart Time passages
The Dolly Parton rabbit hole is very, very deep. You have been warned. "I will always love you", "9 to 5", "Love is like a butterfly", "Jolene" and "Here you come again" are a five off the top of my head which are worth a listen but they're only the tip of the iceberg.
Dolly is a sweetheart. When I was a kid, my family saw her in her early years at a local fairground. She was signing autographs near the stage after the show but we couldn't get near because my sister was in a wheelchair. She saw us watching and came running over to say "hi" to us.
This is a woman who has given away over a MILLION books to children all over the country. She has intentionally built her businesses in poor sections of Nashville to help provide jobs to who needed them most. Not bad for a little girl who grew up with no running water or electricity.
Dolly Parton is worth 650 million dollars today, but I have read that she gives a lot to worthy causes. She has a wonderful sense of humor and carries herself with humility.
Pure talent with a heart of gold and a love for humanity and kindness for all! That's Dolly. What's not to love about that! Thanks for another great reaction!❤
That was a common thing for poor families with kids that grew up in the Depression era. My dad''s mother would have to make him a pair of shoes to wear to school every year. During the summer months he just had to go barefoot after that pair wore out. They didn't have money to buy shoes. In fact, they didn't have money to buy anything...literally. They grew their own food, Did NOT have a car They lived on a small farm out in the piney woods. They were the typical rural poor family living in the deep, deep south
❤ Dolly is Beautiful on the inside and the outside. She is so loved and respected. She is also so funny and has the best laugh. Thank you for your reaction... ❤
I'm from Middle TN so we love Dolly. She is a great storyteller! I'm so happy she found success in many things she's done. Dolly has been married for almost 60 yrs. She is a true legend. Loved your reaction! ❤
This song tugs at your heart if you have any compassion what so ever in your soul and heart ! Thank you both for your compassionate reaction! You are wonderful people!! ❤!❤
This song always makes me cry. My mom told me my grandma made her a coat from scraps. They have both died now so every time I hear this song it reminds me of both of them and how much I miss them🥰
I have always loved Dolly,I grew up listening to her because she was one of my Moms favorite artists. I grew up poor and relate. My father died when I was seven and my mother raised six children all on her own. We had very little money and kids at school teased us that we were the poorest family in town. We went to school with patches all over our clothes but we were happy and couldn’t understand why so many people just couldn’t believe that we smiled so much. They didn’t know that we were loved by one of the Greatest Moms ever.
I was only 8 years old when this song came out. It had a huge impact on me even at that young age. I didn't grow up with a lot of money, but I was blessed with great parents who taught me about what is truly important. This song only drove home the lessons my parents taught me. Dolly is a treasure! Her love, her lyrics and her songs are truly amazing.
It is wonderful to see that you both value basic human life. The song expresses so much love in a world that is truly lacking love and compassion for our fellow man. Thank you for showing us your heart.
So many people, now, have never KNOWN what being poor is....and, they don't appreciate what it means to HAVE things: no matter WHAT that MEANS - food, clothes, cash. People who have not "gone without" cannot appreciate what they HAVE and can't seem to VALUE what homemade items MEAN to people who HAVE EXPERIENCED "going without". To me: homemade gifts mean the WORLD...and, I think more people should listen to music like this. MAYBE it will OPEN their MINDS!! Thank You for listening to and ENJOYING this song!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
Dolly never forgot where she came from because she's still here, in Appalachia where she has put millions into the poorest region of the country and still makes personal appearances. She also has a free book club for kids who can't afford books, or really anyone who just wants to join.
I live in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. This is Dollys home town and she has a theme park here. Her coat of many colors is in a museum in the theme park. Dollywood. Dolly is a treasure. There were devastating wildfires here several years ago. Several families lost their homes. Dolly raised money and gave some of her money to set up a trust fund for those families. They did not have to worry about anything for several months until they could get back on their feet. She also has the imagination library where she sends books to every child that enroll in the program. Her father could not read so she wants to share the joy of literacy. She also does many other things for the community. Dolly is also a very savvy businesswoman. She is definitely a national treasure, and we love her in sevier county, Tennessee.
That is a true Lady, who knows and has never forgotten what is truly important. Family, Love and living a honest life, with a true Servant's heart. Bless you both. Peace, love and blessings to all. ✌🤗🙏
Dolly is as real as it gets. We didn't have much when I was a kid either and the greatest things I had were the things my parents and grandparents made. Now my grandkids have almost everything they can imagine from the stores and none of it means much at all to them.
To many Americans, including myself, Dolly is a national treasure. She has given so much to help others and she has such a pure spirit. There is a special place in heaven for her, I'm sure (although I hope it is a long time before she goes there).
The other kids at her school made fun of her but she certainly has had the last laugh because she currently is worth about $500 million (that's half a BILLION) dollars! Her older fans (like myself) can identify with her because we too went to school wearing clothes that our mothers made for us and we also wore garments that had patches and shoes that had holes in them and we know what it is like to have our classmates laugh at us because we were poor. I am delighted that Dolly came out of the extreme poverty of her childhood and is now fabulously wealthy. YOU GO, GIRL!
Dolly has an amazing life story to go with her wonderful attitude. Her Dad was a sharecropper and she was one of twelve. She began performing at 6 in church and began playing guitar at seven on a homemade guitar, and at 8 she got her first real one. She first got on the radio and television while she was still a child. Through her life, she’s spread the wealth. Her Dad didn’t get to learn to read growing up. Thinking of that, she started the imagination library for children to have a free book each month from birth until kindergarten. Her Dad was proud of her for everything she did but she said this was the thing that made him proudest. But as a born and raised Appalachian woman who also got her books, she’s extra special to me.
Her songs are real and from her heart. She did grow up poor her father was a sharecropper and did carpentry to make ends meet and Dolly's mother stayed at home with the kids. At Christmas the kids did without any gifts so her mom could finally get a wedding ring from her father. The kids didn't care they were so happy for their mother to get that ring. Dolly was one of 12 children and that's a lot of mouths to feed and they lived in a 2 room cabin. 8 of her brothers and sisters are actually still alive.
Her philanthropy throughout her career is as legendary as her musical talent. For instance, early in the Covid pandemic, she donated $1 million to help fund vaccine research.
Thank you so much for your beautiful reaction! It's truly a beautiful and heartwarming song. It helps one grow in gratitude, wisdom, and joy. The way you reacted shows that you two also have beautiful hearts.
I absolutely adore Dolly Parton. What an incredible woman. She would definitely be a contender for my top 5 dinner guests. How she manages to play guitar with long fingernails is beyond me, but she sure makes it work. There are too many great songs from Dolly to mention, but this is one of them. She is such a great storyteller and I just love her voice and style. Great reaction guys ♥
I just love you guys, you're so genuine in your reactions, true emotion coming through both of you. You know what they say "some people hear the music, and people that really feel it. You all definitely feel it. If this song doesn't bring a tear to your eye, your not human. I hope you two go down a Dolly Parton rabbit hole, I'll be there for every one, might I suggest her very first hit that made her famous "Jolene", you won't be disappointed.
Dolly has written so many songs over the years. Most of her songs are true stories from her life. I Will Always Love You is very famous for the tune but the words are true from her heart. When she started out, she worked with Porter Wagoner. There came a time when she wanted to go out on her own and he was very angry. She wrote I Will Always Love You as her last gift to him.
Dolly what a beautiful pure soprano voice.
My girlfriend and I traveling interstate 40 through Tennessee decided to detour and got married in a chapel on a mountain top in Dolly’s hometown of Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Have visited the area many times in the twenty seven years since. Beautiful area.
That is awesome! 💚
Dolly is a national treasure here in the US.
She is a global treasure here on this planet.
The purity of the story and her voice is unable to fake. That's really Dolly.
Dolly returned to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with all of her wealth and built a popular family resort (country style Disneyland) that emplyees 4,000 people in a place that desperately needed jobs. She also is again famous for her charity that provides free books for children. Dolly is the real deal. 😊
She bought an existing park but the rest of the story is spot on.
How amazing 😍
@@angieday5183 The park was failing and falling apart and about to be shut down ,Dolly stepped in fixed it up and brought in new rides etc and took it over.

Beautiful ❤️ Thank you for sharing. There are things that money cannot buy 😊
@@MerchantOfAlba absolutely
The musical quality to her voice is second to none. There are singers, even good ones, who have none of that quality.
If anyone should be a millionaire it’s Dolly Parton. She deserves all her wealth and has demonstrably given back her wealth to those in need. Everyone loves Dolly ❤️
Yes I love she stands up to right wing conservatives especially in support of women, children and the LQBTQ community. She is a national treasure and patriot.
She has a stable animal as a pet.
It's the Dolly Llama.
Dolly is a multi-billionaire.
Great reaction.
The most Beautiful heartfelt reaction to this song ❤
Here is another great storytelling song she wrote. This live version is the best because she explains how the song came about. (cut and paste) Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You (Live) The one where she is wearing a dark blue sequenced dress.
Made even more famous when Whitney Houston sang it......
Many thanks 👍💚
Mannnn .. I blinked away tears to see you doing the same. :) .. Dolly was what we call "dirt poor" .. that usually refers to a home with a pounded clay/dirt floor
I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this song.
Dolly is also one of the world's biggest philanthropists. She gives so much money and help to the poor and children.
This is an incredibly moving song. It has been a favorite of mine since it was first released all those years ago,
She wrote the song on the back of two laundry tickets from Porter Wagner's rhinestone suits. I've heard her tell the story of how that happened on the tour bus one day.
I can see 2 people on my TV screen right now at Dollywood!
💚
Hi I've known of this song for about a year and this video is the best version I love watching her fingers picking it reminds of bluegrass love your reaction love Dolly please react to Al Stewart Time passages
Beautiful song, isn't it? It brought me to tears too, even this time as many times as I've heard it. Thank you for making this video!
The Dolly Parton rabbit hole is very, very deep. You have been warned.
"I will always love you", "9 to 5", "Love is like a butterfly", "Jolene" and "Here you come again" are a five off the top of my head which are worth a listen but they're only the tip of the iceberg.

Dolly is a sweetheart. When I was a kid, my family saw her in her early years at a local fairground. She was signing autographs near the stage after the show but we couldn't get near because my sister was in a wheelchair. She saw us watching and came running over to say "hi" to us.
I don't know any Americans who not only love Dolly, but are proud of her
This is a woman who has given away over a MILLION books to children all over the country. She has intentionally built her businesses in poor sections of Nashville to help provide jobs to who needed them most. Not bad for a little girl who grew up with no running water or electricity.
Oh, what a great memory 😍
Dolly Parton is worth 650 million dollars today, but I have read that she gives a lot to worthy causes. She has a wonderful sense of humor and carries herself with humility.
Always loved this song.
True story of her family of Tennessee. Many brothers and sisters. Very humble 😊.
" My Tennessee Mountain Home ". Try this song, too.
Great! We'll do 👍💚
Like most , I'm assuming , I just absolutely love this tune..geez.. gets my "waterfall" going every time..great reaction folks..🎤🫶🇨🇦
Yes she deserves the wealth and success. She does so much for others. I have seen the coat on display. Amazing.
Pure talent with a heart of gold and a love for humanity and kindness for all! That's Dolly. What's not to love about that! Thanks for another great reaction!❤
Ohhh...you both have tears ❤️
please 🙏
Check out her song
HARD CANDY CHRISTMAS

Love you guys
If there is one thing that country music does better than any other genre, it's bringing tears to your eyes.
Your silence after she finished speaks volumes. She definitely is a treasure.
This is a true story from her childhood. Dolly is a pure and wonderful soul.
Also, check out this 77 year old singer's version of "Purple Rain" by Prince...Incredible!
❤ Dolly is Beautiful on the inside and the outside. She is so loved and respected. She is also so funny and has the best laugh. Thank you for your reaction... ❤
No matter how many times I hear this song it still brings tears to my eyes.
Amen to that !!!!
Mine too. This hits close to home.
One of my favorites by Dolly. 🥰
I have a list of the 10 people I would most love to hug before I die. Dolly has a permanent spot at #1 on the list. Such an amazing lady.
Dolly is a True American Treasure 😊
Again, thank you both for being so genuine and real with your reactions. This is one of Dolly's best!
I'm from Middle TN so we love Dolly. She is a great storyteller! I'm so happy she found success in many things she's done. Dolly has been married for almost 60 yrs. She is a true legend. Loved your reaction! ❤
I’m from South Florida and I love Dolly too. 😊👍. She’s not only a great performer but she’s a wonderful human being.
so relatable....so authentic...and that's why she's truly an American icon.
This song tugs at your heart if you have any compassion what so ever in your soul and heart ! Thank you both for your compassionate reaction! You are wonderful people!! ❤!❤
Thank you 😊
The tear got the subscribe hit.

Dolly is a National Treasure!
I've heard it before, but I teared up too😢😊
As famous as Dolly is, she remains very humble.❤
This song always makes me cry. My mom told me my grandma made her a coat from scraps. They have both died now so every time I hear this song it reminds me of both of them and how much I miss them🥰

We Love Dolly, and we love you guys.
Dolly is one of the special people in this world. Thank you for sharing this one. 🙂
And now, the noble and beautiful Dolly is giving her wealth to children in need. She is a wonderful example of goodness to the world. Bless her! ❤
Makes me cry every time.!!!

Another two songs that are stoned cold classics from Dolly are “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You”. Great reaction.
It is wonderful to see that you both value basic human life. The song expresses so much love in a world that is truly lacking love and compassion for our fellow man. Thank you for showing us your heart.
You two have the most beautiful smiles and such sweet spirits-thanks for showing love to Dolly 💙 Best wishes from Tennessee!

What is equally as touching about this song is your genuine reaction to it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Dolly Parton also wrote I Will Always Love You.
Loved the guys reaction, he was just like me.😢
I love both of you you’re both so cute

Dolly is as real as it gets.
We didn't have much when I was a kid either and the greatest things I had were the things my parents and grandparents made.
Now my grandkids have almost everything they can imagine from the stores and none of it means much at all to them.
Absolutely! We used to find more value in things we owned. These days, everything is replaceable and means nothing. Thank you for sharing ☺️
I knew you would love this. Dolly is a unicum and a national treasure
I loved your reaction- thank you !
To many Americans, including myself, Dolly is a national treasure. She has given so much to help others and she has such a pure spirit. There is a special place in heaven for her, I'm sure (although I hope it is a long time before she goes there).

Wonderful reaction. Now that you are in the Dolly Parton rabbit hole you must review her signature song, Jolene. It's likely her best.
Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris are two of Dolly's biggest fans. So much that the three of them recorded two albums together which are wonderful.
That's amazing 🤩
Dolly has an amazing life story to go with her wonderful attitude. Her Dad was a sharecropper and she was one of twelve.

Beautiful. I love watching you two :)
A financial mega-success and still universally loved. Not a bad run.
Another lovely genuine reaction from you two! For another great country love song from the 70s, try Anne Murray - You Needed Me 👍
Beautiful reaction :)

You must watch the movie!!!!
Dolly is everything that is good about America.
This has to be the BEST REACTION I HAVE EVER WATCHED to Dolly’s song❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊💚
Often the things with the most value in life have nothing to do with money. Rich or poor is a frame of mind.
True that 💚
