Dolly Parton Watching a documentary on her at the moment. Interesting lady indeed. seems i'm developing some respect for her in my old age. Now country music aint my thing, and really hadn't taken much notice of her before. but she has a unique voice and she seems to be a decent musician.
A warm, genuine, caring person on top of that too. Maybe i'm a fan.  |

my mom used to listen to dolly all the time when i was younger. i like her more for her personality than singing "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |

She's doing some of her best work (music wise ) of her career. A very underrated songwriter and should be mentioned in the same breath as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Lets not talk about "Dollywood".  | |

Great business sense too. Elvis wanted to buy the rights of "I'll Always Love You" back in the 70s with a HUGE sum and she refused,,,,,best thing she ever done, 2 decades later the song scored millions when Whitney Houston covered it. | |

Lets not talk about "Dollywood". I'm in the UK. it was on BBC1. I might well go see her next time she plays here. Totally impressed. I'm expanding my musical vocabulary, i need to listen to something else for a change. Why not Dolly? |

I'm not a die-hard (meaning I don't know all her songs by heart) but I'm definitely a fan and have a lot of respect for her.
I recently saw her talk in an interview about how Elvis was supposed to record "I Will Always Love You" but when Elvis recorded a song, he automatically got 50% on royalties/rights. She was not going for this. I'm sure this took a lot of guts (especially for a woman in the biz) back then. Folk were probably like "You're nuts! It's ELVIS!"  | |

I saw her last year for the first time and she was amazing. I usually do not like too much talking between songs, but she told some great stories. She still sounds and looks incredible. | |

Dolly IS GOD. She writes, she plays and she give a helluva lot back to the community. Her book foundation is wonderful. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

Janet & Madonna could really learn a thing about stage presence from ole Dolly (and Bette Midler too). Instead of constantly relying on back up dancers to carry a show as they age, they could engage the audience with their stardom. It's funny because both of them fail horribly when it's just them singing (Madge w/ her guitar and Janet during her "Together Again" moment at this years AMA). Space for sale... | |

She is a wonderful songwriter and seems like a very fun witty gal.
Some of her best: Dolly Parton - Coat of many colors http://www.youtube.com/wa...1zJzr-kWsI Dolly Parton - Jolene http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related Dolly Parton - Just when i needed you most http://www.youtube.com/wa...eeMDGq1FMI Dolly Parton - Something Fishy http://www.youtube.com/wa...gNm-HcnRl8 Dolly Parton - to know him is to love him http://www.youtube.com/wa...qXvHXJvk44 And of course her masterpiece: Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You http://www.youtube.com/wa...S-F4rfU4ns (her version is so much more convincing then Whitney, to me - not trying to start a discussion) I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |
