    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.

    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).

      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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

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 Parton is one of the greatest song writers EVER. 3,000 songs! Such a beautiful voice she has. But not all of the songs she wrote were for her. She wrote songs for many people. She has a lot of love and concern for others. Take a trip to Dollywood some time. It's in Tennessee. Complete country. She built it for others to enjoy and also to give her relatives a place of employment. They all like to get together and sing at the park. Check it out.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Ty, I wanted to explain why Dolly wears the BIG blonde wigs, red lipstick and makes herself up to look somewhat animated. When Dolly was a little girl she loved colorful/flashy things but her family was very poor. Therefore, she had to settle for whatever her family could provide like so many of us have to do. But, the main thing I wanted you to know about...one day, as a little girl, she went to town with her dad and she saw a lady with peroxide blonde hair, heavy makeup, red lipstick and she was wearing a red dress. When Dolly saw her, she ask her dad, “who’s that?” Her dad replied, “that’s trash!” Then Dolly said, “well, I want to be trash when I grow up then.” And now, as an adult, she’s said MANY MANY times during her long career. “it costs A LOT of money to look this cheap!” LOL

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.

    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.

    Dolly and Loretta Lynn both were born and raised in extreme poverty in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee (Dolly) and Kentucky (Loretta). And yep. Sometimes food and most of the time clothing and shoes were scarce. This song she wrote, because it is what she experienced, growing up. If you get a chance, watch her movie The Coat of Many Colors, about a period in her life when she was little girl. Several stars plays in it. and country music singer, Jenifer Nettles, plays her mother. It is really a good movie and shows the spunky spirit that Dolly has always had. My favorite scene was her hiding out in the barn, painting her face with paint, she snuck out of school, so she could look like the pretty women that she had seen in town. Her family left for church, no realizing she was not with them. So she took her guitar and walked to church, went right in the front doors and down the center isle to sing for the congregation. Everyone about passed out, when they saw her. But she held her little head high and just walked right down that isle anyway. She was just a little girl and lived in a culture that respectable women did NOT wear makeup. Her granddaddy was the preacher. lol It was so funny. And she says it was a true event.

I remember my daughter went to help the people after the fire. We were broken hearted that happened to her area.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I grew up as one of 10 kids, my mom never worked, but we all wore hand me downs.I am a white male 67 years young and as far as I’m concerned you are the best at what you do!!! If the world had more people like you the world would be a better place to live!! I salute you as a person and I love all kinds of music!! My recommendation to you is give a listen to “ Cult of Personality “ by Cory Glover!!

    Have you heard about Emmy Lou Harris? She,Dolly and Linda Ronstadt(bet you know about her) perform and record as a trio. Each in her own right have had long and prolific careers. I dont mean to seem presumptuous but i cant wait for you to hear their gorgeous voices combined.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Dolly's Coat of Many Colors is based on truth for her. She talked about that coat in an interview not long after she wrote and recorded the song. She has had those long nails as far back as I can remember, which would be back in the 60's. She's a wonderful human being.

    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

    I love this song. So much old school country was about telling a story. I recommend reacting to George Jones' The Grand Tour, Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes and He Stopped Loving Her Today. You won't be disappointed. This song never fails to bring me to tears. There really was a coat of many colors Dolly's mother made for her.

  • @maryhadley7373
    @maryhadley7373 5 років тому

    At Dollywood....Dolly's Mama made another coat of many colors out of small bits of cloth.... it is on display because so many people are touched by that song... I think her Mama was well into her 90s when she was called home...

    AWE, MY MOMMA'S SONG!!!
    SHE GAVE SUCH A INSANELY ECLECTIC TASTE IN MUSIC.
    AT LEAST SHE GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE OPEN TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF MUSIC OF EVERY SINGLE GENRE.
    DOLLY IS PART OF MY CHEMICAL MAKE-UP. MY MOM MAY HAVE LEFT THIS WORLD WHEN I WAS 24 BUT HER MUSIC SHAPED MY LOVE AND LIGHT AS WALK WITHOUT HER BESIDE ME.
    I WAS BRUTALLY BULLIED AS A GIRL AND THIS WAS A SONG MY MOM PLAYED BEFORE I EXPIRIENCED THAT TO LET ME KNOW THAT IF YOU LET THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU AND THE SMALL THINGS IN YOUR HEART AND MIND, THE PAIN FROM BEING " LESS THAN " BECAUSE OF MONEY AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T MATTER WILL BE A TEMPORARY THING IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE SO LOVED.
    SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS GIVING ME THIS INSIDE INFO, SHE WAS JUST THAT RARE PERSON WHO WAS TRULY KIND AND I AM
    SO GRATEFUL SHE WAS MY MOM.
    THANK YOU AGAI TY SUCH A GREAT DAY TODAY, AND YOU PULLED ME TO A WONDERFUL WAT I REMEMBER HER AMAZING HEART!!
    SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF YOURS!! THAT'S A COMPLIMENT I DON'T GIVE LIGHT-HEARTEDLY.
    YOU ARE SO RARE.

    Her guitar is open tuned that’s the trick to paying with those nails. I lost my mother to cancer at 13 years old but as a child my mother would sing this song to me. Thanks for the good memories .

    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

    Dolly is one of the greatest song writers of all time. one of the biggest was "I will always love you" which was a hit for Dolly and super hit for Whitney Houston plus many others.
