Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman, widely regarded as one of the most influential and beloved figures in country music history. Born and raised in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, Parton's early life and Appalachian roots profoundly shaped her music and storytelling.

Parton's musical career began in earnest in the early 1960s. She signed with Monument Records in 1965 and released her first album, 'Hello, I'm Dolly,' in 1967. Her songwriting prowess quickly became evident, penning hits for herself and other artists, most notably "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," which became massive hits for Dolly and later a global phenomenon for Whitney Houston.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Parton achieved significant crossover success, blending country sensibilities with pop elements. Her music is characterized by its heartfelt lyrics, often exploring themes of love, loss, resilience, and working-class life, delivered with her distinctive soprano voice and charming Appalachian accent. Her style evolved over the decades but consistently retained its country core, influenced by traditional folk, bluegrass, and gospel music, as well as popular music trends.

Key albums include "Coat of Many Colors" (1971), "Here You Come Again" (1977), "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs" (1980), and "Trio" (1987) with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.

Parton is celebrated for her prolific output, with over 60 albums released. She has garnered numerous awards, including multiple Grammy Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, and Country Music Association Awards. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. In 2022, she was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and inducted in 2023.

Beyond music, Parton has had a successful acting career, starring in films like "9 to 5" (1980) and "Steel Magnolias" (1989). She is also a prominent businesswoman, known for Dollywood theme park and her "Imagination Library" literacy program, which has distributed millions of books to children worldwide.

Dolly Parton's enduring legacy is built not only on her musical talent but also on her philanthropic work, vibrant personality, and unwavering authenticity, making her a true American icon.

Dolly Parton is a legendary American singer-songwriter, actress, and businesswoman, renowned for her significant contributions to country music. Emerging in the 1960s, she achieved widespread fame with hits like "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," known for her distinctive voice, heartfelt lyrics, and blend of country, folk, and pop styles. Parton has released over 60 albums, received numerous awards including multiple Grammys and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and also achieved success in film and philanthropy with initiatives like the Dollywood theme park and the Imagination Library.

To everyone wanting to know if this is a reference to "JoJo": No, the Japanese series was developed in 1986, but Dolly wrote and recorded "Jolene" in 1973.
The audio/video quality is pretty good for having come from a VHS tape recorded in 1988, if I do say so myself! :-) "Thanks" to those who have agreed!

Dolly Parton - Jolene 19880110

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

LYRICS:
It's been a long dark night
And I've been a waitin' for the morning
It's been a long hard fight
But I see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
You know I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out just fine
And everything's gonna be all right
That's been all wrong

I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

It's been a long long time
Since I've known the taste of freedom
And those clinging vines
That had me bound, well I don't need 'em, no
I've been like a captured eagle, you know an eagle's born to fly
Now that I have won my freedom, like an eagle I am eager for the sky

I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay

Cause I can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
