Dolly Parton was far more than a country music superstar. She was a songwriter, singer, actress, businesswoman, philanthropist, and one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world. From a tiny cabin in the Tennessee mountains to international fame, Dolly built a career around incredible talent, determination, humor, and an unmistakable ability to tell a story through song.
In this episode, we take a look back at the remarkable life and career of Dolly Parton—from her Appalachian roots and early days in Nashville to her breakthrough partnership with Porter Wagoner and her emergence as a superstar in her own right.
We'll revisit some of the songs that made Dolly a legend, including “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “I Will Always Love You,” “9 to 5,” and “Here You Come Again.” Her songwriting reached far beyond country music, with her songs becoming hits for artists across generations and genres.
But Dolly's story doesn't end with music. We also explore her Hollywood career, Dollywood, her business accomplishments, and perhaps one of her greatest legacies—Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of free books to children around the world.
