Dolly has always been one of my favorite country artists, both for her songwriting talent and for being such a moral person for our world. She also has Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. I’ve signed up my youngest granddaughter and she receives a free book each month until she is five years old. Thank you Mr. Rather for highlighting such a warm, joyful, giving individual.
Thank you Dan. I have heard both Dolly’s and Whitney’s versions and they are both so beautiful and bittersweet. This is one of a very few songs that I smile while tearing up at the words and melody.
Parton is great but I hated to hear Elvis wouldn’t sing unless he commandeered half the writing credits. He didn’t need anything and it wasn’t true that he helped write the song. Maybe a Col. Parker move but it disappointed me.
Thank you for this big reason to smile!! I love Dolly Parton and find her to be one of the most inspiring people ever. I knew that she wrote “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” on the same day. One of the many amazing things about Dolly. How wonderful that you’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her many times, Dan.❤️
Dan, I'm with you in your admiration for Dolly Parton. And she's really distinguished herself across the decades with her generosity to others less fortunate. A model. I wish more who could would choose to follow in her foot steps. We'd all be better off if that were the case.
Dear Mr. Rather, once again, thank you for your words. Reading your essays are such a beautiful way to start my day. This one especially touched my heart. Dolly, sweet Dolly ! ❤️💕❤️💕
YEAH, Dolly!
Way to GO, not letting elvis do you dirty like that!!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
AND: Dolly has so much class, investing her royalties like that.
I love Dolly Parton.

Thanks, Mr. Rather, for an uplifting piece abt Dolly Parton during these divisive & dark times that we're living thru.
Dolly Parton is an example of the kind of person that we should all aspire to! Her latest album Rockstar is fabulous!!!

One of our BEST people!!
She's a national treasure!
Thank you for this Dan. She is a remarkable, strong lady and a remarkable talent. I really enjoy her movie roles too: Steel Magnolias and 9 to 5.

Thank you Dan. What a gift Dolly Parton is.
The song that, for the rest of my life, will be a clarion call. One that defines me...that simply has no equal.
