I know I'll spark afew giggles in here lol but I'm serious...



I love her voice,,,,,its really moving sometimes, she does have that melancholy quality in her voice(once you get past the flamboyant image) and beside, she's a helluva storyteller and lyricist.

You're not alone on this one

And I agree also


Jolene

You're a trip

I me some Dolly Parton too. "Jolene" is my favorite but I also like "Apple Jack". It makes me laugh! Oh, my best friend & I love to sing "9 to 5". And let's not forget "Islands In The Stream" with Kenny Rogers. Awesome!

I only have a few comps and Coat of Many Colours, but I plan to get much more.

Sweet voice. Great personality, wonderful lady.

Her Live DVD is awesome, she has a fantastic live voice, incredibly pure,beautiful tone and amazing control, she has a really quick wit and shes a brilliant shrewd business women with a generous heart. God love her.

No shame in my game, I dig her.

I know we're supposed to talk about her music, but fug it....



Girly camp flick,,,,but I love it

You can add me to the list of folks who like/love Dolly Parton. I've been a fan for a long time. I've not seen her live, but she is just wonderful in her tv interviews. Of her more well-known music, my favorite is "Coat of Many Colors." For some reason, which I guess is the intent, it never fails to make me at least a little emotional!

That's Jane Fonda, on the cover. Jane was hot in the 60's and 70's.

workin 9 to 5

its a way 2 make a livin

My favorite is her disco song "Baby I'm Burnin". I also like "Two Doors Down", "Here You Come Again", and "9 to 5".

I think I remember hearing a house music song on the dance floors in the 1990s called either "Friendship Train", "Freedom Train" or something like that. It was an ass shaker. She was getting off on that one.

As for the stuff like "Jolene" or "Coat of Many Colors".....uh.....NEXT! Hell naw. No way.

didn't get the chance to dig into her music yet but i don't mind what i know from her so far.

p.s. her cameo on Miss.Congeniality was PRICELESS

I was shocked to hear that its her biggest hit,,,,that corny lil' camp song its a wonder, esp when you compare everything else.

Dolly Parton is my favourite female vocalist of them all. No-one has got a voice like hers. No-one. You can't not love that voice. As a songwriter she's ace too. Totally commercial of course, but brilliantly so.

Harlepolis said:

It's one of her shittiest songs. It sold well because it was tied in with the film, and 'cos it was a disco track. Yuck! Disco! Even the word makes you want to puke.

9 to 5 is a disco song? in which bizzarro world?

Dolly's bluegrass albums that were released in the early to mid 2000's are truly amazing pieces of work.

wow, I never took Dolly seriously, but all this love for her is making me curious to what I've been missing

Dolly Parton is immensely talented and much more of an artist than she is given credit for, largely because of her appearance IMHO.

Her lyrics have considerable depth and substance.

The music and lyrics to "I Will Always Love You" were written by Dolly Parton. She recorded it originally, and it was later recorded by Whitney Houston. That song is also in the Broadway musical "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"....

I do not purport to be a country music fan, but I do have a lot of respect for Dolly Parton.

You kiddin' me? You're far from the only one - I've started about a dozen Dolly threads. One of my favorites since childhood. Very few voices move me like hers does. To me, no other country artist compares. She got a lot of flack from country purists for her pop leanings in the late 70s/early 80s.

There are very few artists as prolific as she is; she's written and published over 5,000 songs. There are lists of songs she wrote and performed here: http://www.dollymania.net/songs.html

I came across this clip a few weeks back. Great cover version

You're right, Iesha. She's a fantastic storyteller. No other song made me cry like this one when I was 8-years-old
