Someone asked Dolly once how long it took to do her hair. She laughed and said, “I don’t really know. I’m not there.” ( Most of the time she wore wigs or partial wigs. ) She’s so talented and hilarious. Love her.
She's said in an interview recently that if she takes of her wig, wears more "conservative" aka plain clothes and minimal makeup she looks so unlike what we think of as "Dolly Parton" that she is able to go around mostly unrecognized. This is also why her husband is notoriously private, they can go out together and look like any other couple.
Jolene is a masterpiece. Would've loved it if The Dead or JGB had covered it. I can see Robert Hunter doing this. Great version done in an outdoor setting in Co. Waterford, ROI. It's truly fantastic
Isn’t it amazing that we have access to this musical performance from 1974 forever here on UA-cam? This website is the closest thing we have to a time machine!
Great guitar work on this live performance. Dolly's voice is pure as the driven snow, perfect pitch, slight tremolo..she can sing anything and with anybody. There'll never be another Dolly.
Listening to her EFFORTLESSLY sing this song, like she isn’t even trying, also she looks so good, much prettier than this so-mentioned Jolene. Her outfit is so 70s and gorgeous. She isn’t even trying when she hits those high notes. It makes me cry listening to her amazing voice that we still can go see live that just sounds a bit older.
The dumb blonde persona was fake, that was just her stage character. Dolly is a very smart and respected woman. In the stage, however, she does a great job at convincing us otherwise
@@rohithpadikkal7082 You may be speaking from a male perspective. I can't say women generally found her dumb or someone to disrespect. Now men, they lavished disrespectful comments and jokes about Dolly back in the day. Women knew she was a pal.
@@C.Church well, yes, I am a male, but I'm not old enough to have witnessed Dolly's career (I'm only 20) but I read a lot about her and also saw videos on youtube about how she adopted this persona/ people pictured her as such from their own perception of how she might be. But I totally understand your point
Since I first heard Dolly sing this song on the radio, I've always felt that the minor key made her song sound like Irish "cottage singing". It made me think of a sad woman sitting by the window at sunset. I love the guitar accompanying Dolly! I was never beautiful, but by the grace of God, a man chose me to live his life with instead of a "Jolene" who had her eyes on him. My husband and I had a joyful marriage for 35 years before he passed.
A lot of Appalachian folk music has Irish and Scottish roots. She grew up in Appalachia listening to those amazing ballads and it influenced her music.
As a young child, I saw Dolly Parton sing this in my grandparent’s colour television. My grandmother started singing along and when it was over, we were all amazed! She had taught us about Scottish and Irish “cottage evening” songs as she called them. As much as we love Beyoncé, Dolly wrote and sings this too. Better than almost anyone else. ❤❤❤
I agree and definitely the wound hadn't yet healed in this performance. Hell in a later live version, maybe 88...you could tell she still felt it. Can't really even imagine a woman that could make dolly feel she couldn't compete.
@@KateBates22zabu the captured sadness in her voice for this song is amazing. The power, not so much. Otherwise it was ok. I'm a huge Mike Scott fan, very sorry but I couldn't make it to the end of Fiona's version of 'the whole of the moon'. Don't know what was going on there. Maybe a bad day. Thank you so much for the suggestion though, always interested and love finding new stuff to do with music.
Hell yeah! Dolly was looked over due to her makeup and hair and the fact her boy weight. Fact is her voice is and always has been amazing! She also wrote most if not all her music !
It must be one of the darkest song ever. Basically the narrator has to beg the one competing for her man because she knows that she does not stand a bloody chance and just has to rely on her understanding. That's deep stuff…
Well, she begs and can't compete. It is deep and very saddening. But the story is more amazing when you learn that the song was written after Dolly met the "prettiest little girl I'd ever seen" at a show one time. She was as the song describes Jolene as and the little girls name was Jolene. She said "if you hear a song about you, it's for you" and Dolly wrote this song. Jolene is out there
For those who don’t know, Dolly has a foundation called Imagination Library that will mail free books regularly to children in the US from birth until they begin school. Being originally from Nashville, I can tell you that this woman is incredible and very loved by all!
I think that's more impressive than her singing tbh. It's had a noticeable and measurable effect on US literature rates, so they're almost at normal first world levels now.
@@hippo440 What are US schools like? All I know of them is the gun issue, and the whole 'Jocks vs. Nerds' stereotype which doesn't really exist in the UK.
@@GoldenSunAlex They're too harsh on kids and exhaust them. The way kids are introduced to books makes them naturally dislike them. Everyone reads the same book, one person reads aloud, and the rest follow along, for faster readers, this is boring, for slower readers, this is confusing. They don't encourage a love for reading, kids only ever read when they HAVE to. The kids are wrongfully led to feel that reading is just a chore that they have to get out of the way because the schools just don't do enough to make them feel otherwise.
Do we know who it ACTUALLY is? I can't find anything confirming the guitarist. My best guess was one of the Porter Wagoner Trio but I'm probably wrong.
Dolly is so naturally talented and has such a beautiful voice. More importantly, she’s such a sweet, down to earth, humble woman. She never bragged about her talent and that’s such an attractive and noble thing. Beautiful woman inside and out! ♥️🎶🎵
If anything, she talks herself DOWN. "I'm not a natural beauty" "I would have been tall, but I got bunched up at the top" "I got beaten up, and the 2 lumps on my chest still haven't gone down" Etc
In 1974 one of my neighbors asked me to help run a spotlight at a country western show. I was a rocking and rolling teenager and country western shows weren't high on my list of things to do on a Friday night but I needed the $20 they offered me. It was the Porter Wagoner Show and the stage crew met briefly with Porter before the show started. Porter was a task master and he pretty much rubbed me the wrong way but there was this beautiful, very friendly blond singer that I immediately fell in love with. Needless to say her name was Dolly. That night, to Porters dismay I kept my spotlight on Dolly. He had to crowd her on stage to stay in the spotlight. I was transfixed and mesmerized watching and listening to Dolly perform. What an Angel. After the show I managed to avoid bumping into Porter backstage but Dolly took the time to thank each of the stage crew. When she shook my hand I almost melted. What a Goddess. Beautiful, talented, kind and friendly. In the next couple of years Dolly Parton became a headliner and she lost Porter and the rest is history.

I was only 19 years old and pregnant with my first child (a daughter) when this video was recorded from the Porter Wagoner Show. This is both timeless and priceless and Miss Dolly is one of a kind. There will never be anyone else like her.
This song is a absolute masterpiece! The way she paints a picture about jolene's looks. The guitar melody is smooth as silk! Dolly's voice is so fantastically haunting, you could hear the passion in her voice! The sorrow and Desperation really shines through her lyrics. It's like a scene from a movie! Dolly absolutely is a one of a kind artist! she truly has a gift!
I was a kid but will never forget when my mother came home from work one evening. She had served Porter Wagner and Dolly Parton at the hotel restaurant they were staying at off the PA Turnpike. She said, they were both so very nice and gave her a nice tip.

the second easiest way to get attention from strangers: copy/paste someone elses words that they are literally performing in the video. how unique. must have been a lot of work. next time just type the word "first." youll get just as much clout from strangers and actually look less like a jackass
I'm certeanly no fan of the U.S. but country music is just one their biggest contribution to humanity. So much so, that every time I ask myself "WTF are they doing in middle east?" I rememer country music and am able to keep going without having an aneurism.
Wow. Dolly is and has always been amazing. The reason I enjoy country music so much is because it tells a story graphically, gets the feelings behind it across so clearly yet so simply. It’s like she’s having a conversation. Wow.
I wasn't a big country listener (I'm not even American lol) but the first time ever I heard this song played, I was just suddenly and magically transfixed. The lyrics! I couldn't stop listening to it! Without asking its listeners before hand it just started telling this dark and rather devastating story, with sharp choices of words that immediately painted a vivid imagery in my mind of Jolene, of Dolly, of her sleeping husband calling out Jolene, and of the sharp feeling in Dolly's gut right after. I fell in love with it. It's poetry.
God I was only 2 years young, remember hearing Dolly from my man playing her records growing up, my mam actually looked very much like Dolly too, brings back memories…love ya mam god rest your soul. 🙏
Nashville is such an amazing place. I’m not even a huge country music fan. But I went there with a girlfriend a while back, she wasn’t huge into country music either, we both appreciate, but not totally our style. We had so much fun. On the main strip, clubs all over, nice restaurants too for the most part. And the music. All clubs had amazing music. And every other place was a bar with live music, it was amazing. One night I swear the guitarist was almost as good as Stevie Ray Vaughan Tennessee is a beautiful state too, I’d love to live there. But I’m a Jersey boy, I’d miss the shore.
Good thing he cheated on her, or we wouldn’t have this song. Screw her feelings all I care is that I can listen to this song. Pls don’t hurt me it’s a joke.
Her lyrics are always genius -- not just in this song, but everything from "Smoky Mountain Memories" to "9 to 5" and so many more. She is a superbly talented songwriter -- among her many, many other gifts. Just a national treasure, as everyone else seems to say! Can't disagree.
Thanks so much for your pleasant remarks i appreciate and I went to say a big thank you for your love and support as my fan and which of my songs is your best ?
Just watched the PBS episode 7 of the documentary "Country Music" play this classic over the closing credits. The one of a kind singer-songwriter-musician that the world knows by her first name is just the best. Thank you for all this great music.
The background set gives me a nostalgia. It is like taking me back at somewhere I've never been but which feels like a home at the same time. I atleast want to take a walk inside that beautiful house on stage. It better be a real home. Man. 😄
I remember the first time I saw her on The Porter Wagoner show. I was just a kid and just fascinated by her voice and looks. Still am today. What an American original!
Saturday afternoons growing up in Memphis were a total tv washout for me - one country music show after another, all afternoon. Never thought there would be a day when I would click on those same artists intentionally because I love their work so much. Lol.
One of the most recognizable Stars ⭐️ in the whole 🌎 world. Came from a little log 🪵 cabin on pigeon river. 1 of 12 kids. Amazing woman right here. Such a talent.
Now this is the Country Music I grew up on, back in the 1970's! Dolly, Porter, Conway, Johnny, June, Glen, Kenny, Merle, and all the rest, along with weekly family viewing of the "Hee Haw Show", featuring Roy, Buck, Junior Samples and Miss Minnie Pearl! 🤣😍 Back when Country was Country, and singers could sing, play instruments and connect to their loyal audience. I miss those days of listening to County songs on tv, and in the car on long Sunday drives with my family. 🤗 Today's Country sucks... 😝
the most beautiful, most talented and most Real celebrity\singer there ever was and i hope she lives forever because she is a national treasure and the world will surely be 'less than' if she ever dies. i love you Dolly....... your music touched the life of my mother when she was young and thankfully as i grew up you were not only still performing but you were and are just as relevant then and now as you were in my moms youth and my ears were blessed with your music. the only disappointment i ever had with your music is that you never cut a full version of the first song you performed in the smoky mountain Christmas movie, the one were you were surrounded by all the dancers doing the music video...... that song was pure GOLD! and i wish you had done that one as an actual track.
this is about life story my grandpa's first wife . He was completly stolen from her by my grandma - "Jolana". It was happen almost 60 years ago /circa 1967-1968/ in Czechoslovakia. I had goosebumps, when i heard this song for first time
One of THE most iconic songs in country music history and always will be. Dolly is a "home girl" like Loretta Lynn in Tennessee. She is not only the pride or our state but a national one as well. Dolly will always be in our hearts. We will never forget her no matter what!
My dad who passed away 20 yrs. ago loved Dolly, his favorite song was mule skinner. He mostly listened to jazz, but he loved everything Dolly ever did, I got my love of her from him, when I really miss him I listen to mule skinner and think back to my childhood.

She wrote this song too. She's the real deal.
Same 😊

And yet she’s a feminist and has broke so many barriers as a woman and is a complete badass. I love women who can be both!!

Not to be a creep, but your Mom must have been a knockout in the Seventies!
With all the respect, your mom probably didn’t had to be worried about Jolene! 😍😍😍

With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you
Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me
Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me
Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do
Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

With the way she's described in the song, I bet Jolene looks like if Ireland was a human.
Probs.
Definitely and Dolly's man wanted some of her Lucky Charms.😂
@@Me-mb1ex 😂😂 and that pot of gold
Dirt poor and gorgeous as all get out
drunk and missing teeth
She's a national treasure.
I'm a 90s RnB kinda gal but there's no denying Ms. Parton's talent and ability to transcend music genres.
Never be another Dolly Parton: gorgeous & talents
She was an absolute knock out! Amazing personality and talent. She’s unbeatable
No matter how many covers, the original here is the best version!
Miley Cyrus backyard session version
Beyoncés version sucked booty cheeks
@@zuleikhadirk4035 even cupcakke
100%
I’m just happy the song is living on, new life being breathed into it with each cover.
I so remember the first time I heard this song in 1974. Gobsmacked and just haunting- then and now.
Hello.. hope you are fine and staying safe over there?
She's an amazing person. The world is a better place with her in it.
I couldn't care less about country music, but this woman is just pure talent and cincerity, I love her as a person
I'm certeanly no fan of the U.S. but country music is just one their biggest contribution to humanity. So much so, that every time I ask myself "WTF are they doing in middle east?" I rememer country music and am able to keep going without having an aneurism.
absolutely amazing song and voice! Dolly looks so cute and pretty here!
One of my favorite songs of all time…hits n hurts every time …
You can tell in her eyes that she’s nervous but she’s so good!!!
They may have given her a few shots of whiskey to calm her down as well. She looks like she might be enjoying a alcohol buzz?
shes so gorgeous effortlessly sung that song
@@davidoverstreet2875 doubt that anyone would be able to give such a stellar vocal performance while under the influence.
@@MisFellatio you underestimate the power of alcohol
@@haxxah I think you underestimate the power of alcohol. You can't use Your vocal chords normally when youre on alcohol
What a dynamic song!!! The mere fact “Jolene” and “I will always love you” we’re both written in the same day?! Insane!!
she looks so unphased to be singing one of the most iconic songs ever lol
She wrote it! Lol
@@mauriceevans6546 i know 😌 on the same day she wrote i will always love you!
This was only the year after she wrote it: I'm sure acknowledged as a great song already, but perhaps hadn't been realised as iconic yet.
Wow. Dolly is and has always been amazing. The reason I enjoy country music so much is because it tells a story graphically, gets the feelings behind it across so clearly yet so simply. It’s like she’s having a conversation. Wow.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?😊
@@drakehonest2 honestly? I’m having a tough time , but I’m strong . Thanks for asking . You?
@@lindseyowen5968 It’s my pressure meeting you here where are you from and where do you live?
"Your beauty is beyond compare," she sings as she stands there looking like a musical goddess.
No auto tune in those days. She’s legend.
LOVE this original footage. The fashion and glamour of this era will never be matched -though many will try. Miss Dolly is a timeless class act. :)
Hello.. hope you are fine and staying safe over there??
Nov-23. She is rocking this, then & now. Legends stay bright & all others fade. I can't believe she rocked the halftime show at 77 years old.
Hello Lynn
How are you doing today?
Dolly is definitely an angel from heaven, her beauty, her incomparable voice, her stamina.. I hope she is happy . 💓❣️
she looks amazing 😻
I wasn't a big country listener (I'm not even American lol) but the first time ever I heard this song played, I was just suddenly and magically transfixed. The lyrics! I couldn't stop listening to it! Without asking its listeners before hand it just started telling this dark and rather devastating story, with sharp choices of words that immediately painted a vivid imagery in my mind of Jolene, of Dolly, of her sleeping husband calling out Jolene, and of the sharp feeling in Dolly's gut right after. I fell in love with it. It's poetry.
Her raw vocals are incredible what an icon 🤭💗💗
She's amazing, a national treasure!
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
If only I could find a woman with that kind of love in her heart…
Still in love with young dolly like I was as a kid. She was my first love ❤😂
Completely timeless. I remember watching her on the Porter Wagner show as a child. I loved her then, love her now. She is timeless. 💜💜💜
All I can say is timeless. There isn’t a lot that has a heartbeat like this song . And other Dolly songs. Thank U.
Wow. This song never ceases to raise goosebumps. The medieval version by Hildegard von Blingin is also a beautiful tribute. Hope Dolly's heard it.
Hello Stephanie, how are you doing?
I said what? Then realized you had written Blingin not Bingen.
It's not just the voice it's the delivery. Incredible performer, one of the very best.
God I was only 2 years young, remember hearing Dolly from my man playing her records growing up, my mam actually looked very much like Dolly too, brings back memories…love ya mam god rest your soul. 🙏
My first real memory of knowing who Dolly Parton was from the movie 9 to 5, and then Steel Magnolias. She’s an amazing actress and singer! Beautiful.
Nashville is such an amazing place. I’m not even a huge country music fan. But I went there with a girlfriend a while back, she wasn’t huge into country music either, we both appreciate, but not totally our style. We had so much fun. On the main strip, clubs all over, nice restaurants too for the most part.
And the music. All clubs had amazing music. And every other place was a bar with live music, it was amazing.
One night I swear the guitarist was almost as good as Stevie Ray Vaughan
Tennessee is a beautiful state too, I’d love to live there. But I’m a Jersey boy, I’d miss the shore.
Why not ? I love country music. It's the only real music.
If I was Dolly's husband back then, this song would've never been written. How could a guy cheat on Dolly. She's perfect!!
Because that’s just how it is most men cheat on beautiful women for something so insignificant
I'm sure he was intimidated by her success. finding another regular woman normalizes a relationship with a woman.
EVEN 70s Country was the best ,,
@@Lilibear-1 not true but ok
Good thing he cheated on her, or we wouldn’t have this song. Screw her feelings all I care is that I can listen to this song.
Pls don’t hurt me it’s a joke.
She is breathtaking and such a nice person.
Her lyrics are always genius -- not just in this song, but everything from "Smoky Mountain Memories" to "9 to 5" and so many more. She is a superbly talented songwriter -- among her many, many other gifts. Just a national treasure, as everyone else seems to say! Can't disagree.
Thanks so much for your pleasant remarks i appreciate and I went to say a big thank you for your love and support as my fan and which of my songs is your best ?
Absolutely loved the Porter Wagoner show back in the day! Loved the sparkly outfits!
Country music never fades away no matter how old it is,I'm still playing her songs even in 2022 she's amazing ❤️
How are you doing today lisa?
I'n in love with her makeup😍 And the color of her outfit and how it fits her SO perfectly. This is Dolly Parton. Perfection💗
Dolly Parton is really underrated as a vocalist and a songwriter I love her sm she’s so underrated!
A picture of absolute beauty here!
I'm so glad I was in my prime when she was. Great time for music. Fabulous artist, Fabulous song.
I used to watch this video everyday with my grandma while sitting on her lap when I was 5. I miss you gramma!
It seemed so easy for her to sing, what a voice
Just watched the PBS episode 7 of the documentary "Country Music" play this classic over the closing credits. The one of a kind singer-songwriter-musician that the world knows by her first name is just the best. Thank you for all this great music.
I did not remember this but Dolly is such a pathfinder. Sure I’m not a fan of every direction it has taken but this woman is an ICON! She is amazing!
O sabor da musica original é sempre o mais gostoso ❤
I come back to this for so many reasons, but damn... that guitar player... hot dang
"... and I cannot compete with you, Jolene."
Those words are like a dagger to the heart. 💔
The retro audio is magical 😌
Retro maybe ,but more advanced quality sound.Tjen again you don't need quality sound with the award music of today.
The background set gives me a nostalgia. It is like taking me back at somewhere I've never been but which feels like a home at the same time. I atleast want to take a walk inside that beautiful house on stage. It better be a real home. Man. 😄
i feel the exact same way. Weird feeling that I can't explain
@@marnie.tsunami yeah. I want to have a really country style home now 😂
I remember the first time I saw her on The Porter Wagoner show. I was just a kid and just fascinated by her voice and looks. Still am today. What an American original!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?😊
Saturday afternoons growing up in Memphis were a total tv washout for me - one country music show after another, all afternoon. Never thought there would be a day when I would click on those same artists intentionally because I love their work so much. Lol.
One of the best women to ever live. She’s awesome on stage and off!! So glad she’s still with us 💜
Just raw talent.. front the guitar to Dolly... simply... excellent.. talent. No re-finishing.
One of the most recognizable Stars ⭐️ in the whole 🌎 world. Came from a little log 🪵 cabin on pigeon river. 1 of 12 kids. Amazing woman right here. Such a talent.
I didn't know any of that!! 12 kids?? I need to watch a documentary! Thanks!
Now this is the Country Music I grew up on, back in the 1970's!
Dolly, Porter, Conway, Johnny, June,
Glen, Kenny, Merle, and all the rest, along with weekly family viewing of the "Hee Haw Show", featuring Roy, Buck, Junior Samples and Miss Minnie Pearl! 🤣😍
Back when Country was Country, and singers could sing, play instruments and connect to their loyal audience.
I miss those days of listening to County songs on tv, and in the car on long Sunday drives with my family. 🤗
Today's Country sucks... 😝
the most beautiful, most talented and most Real celebrity\singer there ever was and i hope she lives forever because she is a national treasure and the world will surely be 'less than' if she ever dies. i love you Dolly....... your music touched the life of my mother when she was young and thankfully as i grew up you were not only still performing but you were and are just as relevant then and now as you were in my moms youth and my ears were blessed with your music. the only disappointment i ever had with your music is that you never cut a full version of the first song you performed in the smoky mountain Christmas movie, the one were you were surrounded by all the dancers doing the music video...... that song was pure GOLD! and i wish you had done that one as an actual track.
this is about life story my grandpa's first wife . He was completly stolen from her by my grandma - "Jolana". It was happen almost 60 years ago /circa 1967-1968/ in Czechoslovakia. I had goosebumps, when i heard this song for first time
One of THE most iconic songs in country music history and always will be. Dolly is a "home girl" like Loretta Lynn in Tennessee. She is not only the pride or our state but a national one as well. Dolly will always be in our hearts. We will never forget her no matter what!
Wigs have improved since Dolly sang in this one! She looks beautiful and what a pretty outfit.....her one liners are so funny.
Everything so colorful, beautiful, and this talent...
My dad who passed away 20 yrs. ago loved Dolly, his favorite song was mule skinner. He mostly listened to jazz, but he loved everything Dolly ever did, I got my love of her from him, when I really miss him I listen to mule skinner and think back to my childhood.
