Dolly was the 4th of 12 kids born in a one room cabin. Her dad was a sharecropper. The majority of Americans will never know the level of poverty Dolly was born into. Her beautiful spirit is proof that love can overcome a multitude of hardships, even poverty.
true, many people don't realize that this song is actually based on her real life experience
Yes your right. The movie is great.
Many ppl were are still living in extreme poverty especially white ppl yet voted for a conman. #conned
I am the youngest of 10 kids my Dad was a lifelong soldier and we were poor but I didn't know it. My Daddy loved Dolly Parton and this song still makes me tear up.
Kym, I have a similar story grew up in poor family but never realized it until was old enough to take care of myself mom and dad plus 6 kids living 1 bedroom duplex sleeping in a screened in porch with three brothers while sisters shared a bed in living room next to dining table but never went hungry and always had new school clothes at start of school year amazing what they managed to do, I don't think I could of done it
"Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion." - Benjamin Franklin-
The best part about this song is that it is based on a true story in Dolly's life. Dolly actually got made fun of for showing up to school in a coat that was sewed together by her mom.
I remember watching a special on TV where her mother told the story from her point of view. I wonder now what show that was (it might have been a Christmas special they did that had all of Dolly's sisters on it singing, Idk).
This song speaks to so many of us here in Kentucky and Tennessee (and rural towns across America). Dolly is a treasure 💖
Lol Louisiana 😂
Its rural in most places around the world except major cities.
Especially here in Knox and Sevier counties!! There are so many local stories of her around here. Seems like everyone knew Dolly. She's like everyone's friend here.
Don’t forget about West Virginia
I am from Tennessee and Know what you mean.I was literally the only kid(besides my sisters) that only wore shoes to school and church,and I didn't have shoes in summer.They got taken away when school ended and given back when school started and they were too small because I grew over Summer.I got new ones at Christmas.Everyone off time from school in summer,but that was the time to work the 2 acre garden,then canning season,berry picking and foraging so we could eat.
"The world teaches us the wrong way of what rich really is." Thank you Ty. You got it right. God bless your mother who did the best she could.
Amen
Ms. Dolly definitely has a very unique, beautiful voice. There will never be another like her. She did come from a very, very poor background, but now gives to much to others.
Dolly is one of the most talented musicians of all time. Her humility and charity is legendary.
And it is charity, because she doesn’t do it for attention. True charity is done anonymously
dolly is a national treasure. may god bless her heart, an' all her other vital organs.
Her guitar picking is the same as her banjo picking. Talented and still singing just as well today. Great reaction.
OMG Who's chopping the onions? This song always gets me in the feels
And yes, she's singing a true story of her childhood.
Isn't Dolly a sweetheart? She is still giving concerts, strutting the stage in 4" high heals, at the age of 70. Who are you Renaissance man? Your posts are fun.
I ❤ that u reacted to this song!!! Country music really isn't my thing but Dolly is a brilliant story teller!!! If u can't feel this song your dead inside!!! GREAT REACTION 😁
I am so happy I found you last week. I see our Savior in your eyes. I am number 4 in a family of ten children, I promise you I never heard the word poor in our household. We lived with our parents in a one bedroom apartment, in Manhattan, NY. We all made good with the help of hand-me-downs. I was teased by a boy who's sister was my benefactor of her hand me downs. My Dad sometimes worked three jobs to get us all through Catholic grammar and HS. He paid tuition for every one of us. So much to tell, but I won't go on. I'm now 73 and raised 4 of my own. God bless you my sweet man. You are loved!
It took an unimaginable amount of hard work and determination for Dolly Parton to lift herself out of poverty & achieve the fame & success that she has. Tons of talent, too. Nothing was handed to her on a silver platter. A friend of mine who grew up near her said that people laughed at her & thought she just had some kind of crazy imagination when she proclaimed that she was going to be a star. It was not an easy road for her, but guess who's laughing now.
I loved your smile when she was singing the part about her mom sewing it & the story she was telling. Could tell you really were connected to the song.
Ain't nobody else that can do it like Dolly does
One of the prettiest ladies in side and out , Sweet voice and caring , Gods special lady to the world ,
So glad, you reviewed a Dolly Parton performance. I'm 53, and the older I get, the more I respect and love her. That woman just keeps moving forward, having fun and working to help others. She's an amazing role model, pitch perfect and at 72, still one of the best. Thank you, I love to see others discover Dolly Parton :) And, you know that song is a true story :)
Omg i freaking love this song. I seen you did another dolly song. I was hoping you would listen to this one. Frist time i heard this song i cried. Dolly was very very poor as a child like Loretta lynn. Coal miners daughter. Sing it dolly! Forget the haters.
When she doesn't have the guitar she uses the nails for percussion by strumming them against each other. It's neat. Dolly is amazing, you should check out some Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, Juice Newton..oldies but goodies. :D Love your outlook.
Bashfyl I also love the song Johnny and June.
Watch and listen to the beginning of the movie "9 to 5' you hear what sounds like an old fashioned typewriter but it really is Dolly tapping her fingernails to start the song.
Dolly is one of the extremely few celebrities who, when you find out the behind-the-scenes stuff, you love them more. Dolly is a treasure, always has been, and will remain so for all time.
Yes, so many of us can relate to her, just like you! Miss Dolly was one of ten children and they didn't have much money back up in those mountains, but they had love. What's inside matters so much more. Loretta Lynn Coal Miner's Daughter is also great.
Actually the 4th of 12 children
This stuff makes me cry!
I can't ever hear that song without it squeezing my heart. It's such a beautiful song, heart and soul.
This song always makes me tear up. My mom was from southern kentucky, and I spent a lot of my early years there, this is reality, Dolly captures it perfectly, from her own life. I don't think there's any other song that hits me like this one does.
To be poor of spirit is to be truly poor, as far as people today go. Always trying to show out... REAL doesn't have to tell you they are REAL as long as they know it. A lighthouse doesn't scream and yell or jump up and down...it just SHINES
My husband was born in 1946 in the Cumberland Mountains, and lived on a subsistence farm with his Mom, Dad and sixteen brothers and sisters. None of his brothers ever entered the coal mines. Four of them came to Michigan to work for the auto companies. So far as being rich, he and I have a paid off house, a marriage of almost forty years and we are rich beyond compare with our little dog chasing squirrels in the backyard as we watch the birds, grow our garden and flowers and enjoy the kids and grandkids. What WE are doing IS the American Dream and I only wish people knew how absolutely lucky I feel because I've learned that people just don't "need" all the cars, clothes, shoes, toys, etc. That's just marketing. I hope you are as lucky in your future. It's fun to watch your face as you hear these songs because sometimes I know the words and you don't and your expressions are endearing as you learn the meaning of the song. (hug) to you from this grandma. (Patti Loveless Version of "You'll never leave Harlan Alive played on a video made by Antonio Strohs showing pictures of what life was like for the coal miners and their children.
I actually watched a documentary about the coal mines and the lives lost, them fighting with the union etc. I love hearing from people like you. That know the value of life vs the value of material things. thanks for sharing that with me. I'm always an open ear for anything you have to say that will increase me as well as others.
In 1995, Dolly Parton started a non-profit charitable organization called the Imaginary Library. Where she would give books away to children in her hometown of Tennessee. Since then, she gives books to children all over the world. She recently celebrated her 100 millionth book give away. To celebrate that honor. She read to children, while in the Library of Congress.
there is a model of her house that she grew up in, in her theme park, DollyWood, the size of this house is crazy i can’t imagine the poverty she was in
I love Dolly!! Thank you so much for this reaction🙏🧡🦋🦋
Dolly picking and singing with those NAILS is nothing short of amazing!
I just cried. Thanks for reminding me what is really important.
Dolly Pardon really has an amazing voice and a heart of gold!!
Our father gambled his paycheck weekly. Living in the burbs we felt like imposters as our mother was forced to shop Salvation Army and Goodwill. Being poor is not just for barrios or ghettos.
Love your videos man. I'm in South Carolina thanks for remembering us.
My mom used to add lace to my brothers clothes for me . I didn't get made fun of , my friends wanted to know where I got the cool jeans and flannel shirts ! lol
Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain.. I’d love to see your reaction ❤️❣️❤️
My grandmother grew up dirt poor in the mountains of southwestern Virginia and she had coats like the one described in this song. She never forgot what it was like to go without and she never threw things away if she thought they might be useful at some point. I think of her every time I hear this song. Thank you.
One of the many queens of this industry love her so much
God-bless you to in Jesus name
Glad you don't stop the video every two seconds. Love your channel gr8 job thanks
I find it almost impossible to listen to the entire video when they stop the song and give an opinion. They then conclude the wrong thing because they have no idea what the song was about.
Dolly’s a legend. Hand me downs were definatly a big thing in my household with 3 sons and only her that worked bc my dad was disabled and couldn’t work. I learned a lot from her she was definatly my hero and wish she was still here with us.
Are you saying you wish Dolly was still here with us? She is. She's very much alive. She's 72 and still going strong. Praying she has many more years to bless this world with her gifts.
Zinnie Boy No, I’m saying I wish my mom was still here , I know Dolly is lol
Blessed it with a kiss... the most precious blessing that any mere mortal could bestow upon an earthly thing..
I heard this while driving through the deep south, late at night on the car radio....Loving lyrics, I listened to every word and _DAMN_! This got a lump in my throat like nothing...I was ten....didn;t want anyone to see the tears rolling down my face....OMG. i REMEMBER TRYING TO MAINTAIN MYSELF FOR MILES AND MILES AFTERWARDS though I CAN'T TELL you another song from that the whole rest of that night's radio listening....MAN!
God bless you, Mr. Smith...from 70 year old Granny Smith. Dolly is an American success story growing up dirt poor in Tennessee who is a committed Christian who has never forgotten her faith and her roots.
Dolly is not only a Country Music Legend...she is an extremely charitable person and donates millions to those in need. She runs a reading program for children giving out free books. She is a wonderful person.
I'm in my 50s (ahem) and I've listened to her since I was 7. I've liked many of her songs over the years but to me, there's always something special when she sings gospel songs (He's Alive, There, Shine and many others). Recently she sang with for King and Country "God Only Knows" which is amazing song, even more so knowing she's in her 70's and still singing.
I love Dolly so much . She plays many instruments and most of them she plays by ear. I’m 44, and I grew up on her music. My sister, our husbands, and parents had the pleasure of seeing her perform live in Little Rock, and she is the just like you would think. Lovely, funny, talented, and she put on the best show ever!
I wish all parents would teach their children not to judge the others children in school for the way they look. We had three kids and at times money was tight. I didn't feel that young kids needed to wear top of the line clothing. When they reached middle school I put more money into their clothes to a point. My daughter had high end taste so I hit the clearance racks first. It took me about two years to realize my oldest son waspicking out the cheapest brands even in shoes. I sat him down and ask him why, was it really what he wanted didn't he want Mike or Levi's. He told me mama I know you don't have alot of money so I just get the cheaper stuff. It broke my heart. Needless to say I took him shopping and bought him as nice as I dressed his sister. To this day he is still the most giving man I know. Just wanted to share. God Bless
I feel you on your story. My grandmother use to make these double knit dresses for me, my sister and 2 cousins. All look a like. I was the youngest of the 4. So as I grew I looked like I wore the same dress for years. :-).
I didn't think anything about it.
Good Bless
I have a fluffy calico cat that I named Dolly because of this song.
One thing to note, some musicians grow out their nails to have them as a pick so they can play faster and more efficiently than with a pick. You usually see this with country artists, but also some rock artists as well.
Wow! Didn't know that
Dolly is such an inspiration, she has never let the fame and money go to her head, she has remained humble and giving. Thank you for the reaction and for sharing your experiences.
She is a prolific storyteller, songwriter, singer, & musician. I'm so glad my dad is a huge fan of hers since before my birth. So I was lucky to have grown up listening to her melodic voice. Let's not skip over the fact that she played her guitar effortlessly with those long manicured nails...she had guitar picks on each finger.
Grew up on Dolly and her family. Got to meet her very briefly back in the late 90’s and her sister Stella in 1980’s. They are very humble down to earth people.
True Story ! She writes,produces, and sings her own songs. She's genuine, the real deal. She has always remained true to where she came from and who she is. Yes, she plays many instruments. She "plays her nails" sometimes to keep rhythm. She is pure sunshine !
I haven't been watching you videos in a few days. This is my favorite Dolly song.
Isn't it something that when you look back on hard times.. they were usually the best times of your life... Seems the more you get and acquire... the more empty you get. The best times in my life is when I had the least... something to think about... And Dolly Parton, is an angel.. she grew up dirt poor, just like Elvis Presley, Loretta Lynn, among many others... but some, do special things with their money and fame..
Dolly is a National treasure, grew up listening to her & she's still going strong at 70+ years old!!!!!
Dolly Parton is a gift to our world. She is so talented and yet so down to earth. I just love her music and her heart.
Yes sir, 3,000 songs, including “I will always love you,” made so famous by Whitney Houston.
isn't that amazing !! That song was sang by a lot of singers. Great song.
I could listen to Dolly talk forever! Her stories of her life, her pure heart! And a great sense of humor. And she tells it like it is all at the same time! Love her! Sending love always Ty-💛✌️🤘🏼
Dolly can play just about any string instrument,she has so much talent,it's amazing.
This tune always brings a tear to my eye, because it reminds me of the many sacrifices my own mother made in order for us,her children to have a better life...my mother was a great great woman! 💯❤️❤️❤️
This song. Reminds me of my childhood days. We didn't have a lot. But there was 7 of us kids. My mom was the coat of many colors. She had more love for us kids than you could imagine. I miss her so much.
2:05 this is where I got the impression that she was singing about her own life. Just look at her face as she remembers how the children made fun of her and her coat of many colours. Children can be cruel...
I grew up in poverty, and my mom sewed my clothes until I was 12. She handmade meals for us too, and taught me to cook. I relate so hard to this song. I remember picking out which patterns I wanted at the fabric store, so I had the clothes I wanted. You have to be vulnerable to open up on a public platform like this, and Dolly aired all the laundry in a way that is really beautiful. You don't have to have money to make your kids feel loved. You just have to love your kids, they'll get it.
Good message from you. I never had new clothes as a kid. I wore my sister's and cousin's clothes and they never fit. But I knew my mom put me first and I was grateful that I was lucky enough to have someone love me. That was my blessing. A child needs that, not fancy shoes.
Dolly is from a town about an hour from me. Not long ago it caught on fire and Dolly took care of everyone until they got on their feet. She also sends all the toddlers in Tennessee books up till they are like 4 or 5 if you can't afford them. She has Dollywood for everyone too. We absolutely love her. I remember my daughter went to help the people after the fire. We were broken hearted that happened to her area.
CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear this song, but was determined to see/hear your reaction ... 2 mins in & I was tearing up, Dolly's voice & story telling touches your SOUL!!!
I remember listening to Dolly when I was a kid. I would cry when I heard this song when it talked about the kids making fun of her coat. My mom grew up in the mountains of east Tennessee the oldest of 12 kids so she always loved Dolly. My mom told me stories of how that when her father went to buy flour they would get him to look for the flour sack patterns that matched the ones they already had so they would have enough material to make the girls' dresses. Her summers were spent gardening and canning for the coming winter. The family would pick beans by hand for the Stockley company to make a little money for things they couldn't make themselves. My mom always could take what was to most people thought was trash and make wonderful things from it. She knew how to make do as people used to say.
I grew up poor. Been poor most of my life and when I was a kid I went to school with holes in my jeans and shoes and shirt. I would get 1 pair of shoes , 1 pair of jeans and a couple of shirts each year to start school and I did not get another pair of shoes until the next year. I was not DIRT POOR ( DIRT POOR came from the term of having a DIRT FLOOR in your house ) but I was poor. I can relate.
That song is a true story about her life as a child . Her coat of many colors is in the museum in Dollywood along with the song she wrote . There are alot of wonderful things in the museum that show her life through the years . She is a very loving friendly down to earth person.
Dolly Parton is an amazing woman. She's worked hard all her life and has built that life based on a reputation. Nothing was handed to her.
I well remember when I was between 8 and 10, our home burned to the ground taking all our clothes for winter wear. The first winter after that we didn't have coats. My mother always made our dresses for the girls, but the two boys used hand-me-downs, too. We were happy to get any clothing. And yes, I've been made fun of for my clothes. Yes, we were poor monetarily, but we were rich in the things that really mattered -- each other (there were 5 of us children) and our mom and dad. They both always worked really hard, and taught us God's word! We cried when they died because we missed them, but I know we'll see them again one day. Love her "Coat of Many Colors" and I think she wrote that song! And, yes, sometimes we got pretty hungry, too, but it wasn't because my parents didn't try-they both worked very hard and taught us the value of hard work.
The way Dolly was raised is very real to us in Southeast Kentucky and where she was raised in east Tennessee. Dolly had worked hard and used her God given talent to be a success. She has done great things for the people of East Tennessee and the world.
Dolly Parton is an accomplished musician. In addition to the guitar she also plays the banjo, mandolin and probably several more instruments.
Dolly is so sweet and humble.I can identify with this song,Mom and Grandma made all my cloths until high school when I just had to be "in style".God bless you,and I pray people can find common ground through your videos.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
I saw her in concert in 1974 and was amazed then at her guitar and banjo playing. She's quite the entertainer.
Had the privilege of seeing her live a few years ago. She plays a bunch of instruments and kills it live
Dolly is such a rare gem. She's smart, talented in everything she does, sweet and genuine. ❤ She's paid her dues to every single person that has helped her get to where she is today, even if they did her wrong because she said it just felt right.
This song has even inspired some tv movies about the story of the coat of many colors and other stories of Dolly Parton's life. Very nice indeed.
Omg, i am in tears!!! Between Dolly Parton and YOUR exprression, all I felt was PURE love... God bless you and Dolly!
Playing guitar with the nails and - except for the beginning and end - never looked at the fretboard.
Her voice is so flawless and all-American. We LOVE Dolly! 💕
Thank you for this.
I just subed you.I'm really enjoying your channel.Sharon sent me.
I'm not too far from where Dolly is from in East TN.
I remember when I was young in the 60's,Dolly was on a local tv station every morning on the Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour.
Dolly never forgot where she came from.
She is very humble.
She gives back to the area she is from and encourages children to finish school.
She also has the Imagination Library which she gives children free books.
When our Smokie Mountains were on fire,she raised so much money to help the victims doing a telethon.
what really makes this amazing is it is a true story and the Coat of Many Colors hangs in the museum that she has at Dollywood.
Love Dolly. This is a true story. She a wonderful lady. Does so many things for everyone. She has played in movies to. She's a fun person and tells it like it is. Just a happy person and so funny. Love Dolly.
Dolly is an angel who has helped so many. I was born in Gatlinburg TN and still live in the county. Dolly was born next door in Sevierville. Same county. Look up Imagination Library.
Such a beautiful song, story, and music. She has a God given talent that is a blessing to all who hear her sing this wonderful song.
Growing up,I didn't have a store bought Easter Dress,but I always had a new one every year.My mom made one each for me and my sisters.The best day of every year to get a hand sewn dress.
Dolly is a great entertainer ..a good person and married to the same man for years...she's been thru a lot...and very humble. She opened the way for many female singers.
She is a wonderful musician, a wonderful woman, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet... As you are amazed at meeting her, she is genuinely interested in you and wants to know about you and your life. She is a treasure.
this is my all time favorite country song... i just love the storytelling of it, Dolly’s voice and it just touches my heart. it’s just a beautiful song.
Dolly is one of the most talented song writers ever and I love listening to her.
My mother made me a burgundy Paisley dress when I was in the fifth or sixth grade and I remember how traumatized I was when I came home and she had given it away because I had outgrown it and someone was needing clothes for their kids. She was so surprised how upset I was, but told me I should be happy because someone who really needed it was going to get to enjoy it...and begrudgingly, I had to agree. I had the opportunity to meet Dolly Parton in relation to a previous job, and her grace and kindness to everyone... reaffirmed to me why she truly is a star!
What makes this song so special is because it's a true story for her.
I have relatives in Knoxville TN close to where Dolly grew up and avid fans of hers forever. They told me when she made it big she went back to her high school and gave a concert and all those former kids that made fun of her were just sittin back in envy of her
My kids when they were younger when they got hand me downs, they felt like it was there birthday or Christmas. Always felt blessed as well as my friends kids we always sent cloths thru the kids and maternity clothes thru us!
Dolly has always been to a hero me. I didn't live as poorly as her but she gave me inspiration that I wouldn't always be where I was as a child. I met her when I was 5 at a Woolworth in Mobile Alabama. A little blonde hair girl in jeans with such a southern accent I'm not sure she understood what I said to her but she was so very kind to me and I just cried when she hugged me. It meant everything to me. I was the 5th child and the 4th girl. As you said, hand me downs were a standard but so were garage sale buys and Good Will. Her songs help lift me and others out of impossible situations. ❤️ Love your story too.
Dolly is more of a story teller in many of her songs. This one is relatable to many of us. I wore the hand-me-downs of my cousins. I used to say that I started school in 1968, but some of my clothes started in 1958. Mama would have to alter and repair a few and pieces of them would end up in a quilt. Those old quilts remind me of Mama and those hand-me-downs and the cousins that wore them before me.
My favorite Dolly song. Tells a lovely story, and gives a lesson of gratitude ❤️
This song is very special to me. My dad was the 16th of 17 children. They were poor. And my oldest living uncle always related this song to his mom. Just because you have no money doesn't mean you aren't rich in love.
