I’ve seen the coat at Dollywood. I’m not sure if it’s THE coat or just a representative of it.

Not 100% sure. I live here, and the locals all say it’s original. 💁🏻‍♀️

Dolly's original coat is long gone. Neither she nor her mother knew for certain what happened to it. They assumed it was probably passed down till it wore out, or taken apart & repurposed. After the success of the song, Dolly's mother made a "near duplicate" (to the best of her memory), which is the one on display at Dollywood.

The one at the Dollywood Museum is technically a replica. But it was sowed by Dolly's mother according to what I've heard. The original was either lost, or handed down until it was finally too ruined to repair. But the replica was apparently sowed by her mother as well. So I guess that still makes it authentic.

One room cabin!

My great grandma on one side of our family and grandma on the other side each made all their grandbabies a quilt top. It's a tradition in the rural area that I'm from.

One of my favourites as well.

This is her favorite song. I heard her being interviewed. She likes this because it was written about her Momma.

@@kathystammen3060 I wouldn't be surprised for her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens sacrificed for her family. She was married to Robert Lee Parton and she had 12 children and Dolly was the fourth. They were poor and destitute but she was always around. By the way, "Coat of many Colours" is not the first song to her Mom. Dolly's mother had given her a gift earlier on which Dolly sang the adorable "Little Tiny Tessletop" dollyparton.com/front-porch-stories/mothers-love-inspiration-avie-lee-parton/9730

What a wonderful story Kimberly. Yes bullying may also be mental, not physical. Plus there is also classism in the world of who wears better or looks smarter.

I was definitely one of the smartest kids in my class! I made straight A's without anyone helping me. My Mom (unfortunately) was never sent to school. She was the oldest daughter out of 12. My sister and brother were in special ed. My Dad was hardly ever around. So, I got my siblings to do my chores and I done their homework! What's even harder to believe is both my siblings were 2 & 4 yrs older than me! Have you ever heard the saying "Work smarter NOT harder"? THAT WAS ME 😁😜❤

@@kimberlygrimm7007 In every family there is one who has to sacrifice for the others for some reason. We carry all these memories that can haunt us all the time like "why me". But we know we were tough and made a better life for ourselves eventually. That's why I love Dolly songs because I know Dolly came from a very poor family ut she was an achiever. Look where she is now.

this is iconic as it is a great tribute to mothers.

@@onewxrldmusic7303 yes, I agree... Bless all the mother's❤ I've heard of Dolly but never listened to her music but I love her voice & the storyline in this one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@@missgmoma Well actually Zack and Sam have made a few reaction videos one of them suggested by me which is a collaboration with Julio Iglesias. Here is Sam and Zack's reaction to the song I suggested kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptd5ltWhuZuZdKs.html Another is a song with Kenny Rogers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kK5pbJyEreDNfYE.html

I also suggest to you other reactions by Zack and Sam on Dolly like for "Jolene" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hN6qi8JyvtnUaWg.html and "I Will Always Love You" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itdzqdOAqeCYcYU.html That second one also includes a Wikipedia research. Enjoy

@@onewxrldmusic7303 oh wow, thanks for all the info. I wonder if Whitney Houston did a cover of 'I will always love you ' from Dolly. Don't know if it's the same song. I will definitely check all these out. I really enjoy this channel so far, I'm fairly new here but I like it✌

👍

It sounds like a real story. In the old days, they would make use of leftover pieces of clothes to sew new cloths. So as incredible and unbelievable as it may seem today, this was a very possible story in the past.

kat kat Dolly Parton has called this her MOST autobiographical song that she's written

this is a true story of her childhood back in the day 💗

But the story explains his brothers were so jealous of him and the father's preference for Joseph, they first decided to kill him but it just happened that some traders were passing by, so they sold Joseph as a slave instead. Then they killed an animal and use the bloodied cloth to bluff their father some wild animal had killed Joseph. How cruel people can get even when treating their brother.

@@onewxrldmusic7303 it's almost like Joseph was homosexual

@@granta3044 Well perhaps because he was wearing a flashy dress that created so much jealousy? He was flaunting his colours too aggressively thus the adverse reaction of the 10 brothers? I don't know. I am just guessing. But is it that relevant? He had been thrown in some empty pit. Then they had a crisis of heart and their conscience suddenly woke and there were those Ishmaelites merchants coming. So this was an alternative that they saw was viable. The price was 20 old shekels. I think one of the brothers only had the notion. Then the brothers (Simeon, Levi, Zebulun , Issachar, Naphtali, Dan, Gad, Asher, Reuben, Judah) agreed why not "make some money" out of the sordid deal and save a brother's life at the same time. What does it have to do with homosexuality though? His colourful dress? By the way Benjamin, the youngest of the 12 stayed with the father, but all ten were guilty of the plot and very vicious breaking the heart of the father. Thinking of murdering a brother regardless of the motive is atrocious. It is called fratricide. Joseph was number 11. The poor father went into so much suffering and probably never recovered for his entire life. All because of some criminal ungrateful sons. It happens even today you know. The moral of the story. A father should not practice discrimination between his siblings. I guess. But you know how parents are.... You see you throw out a sentence out of the blue and I answer in a full paragraph just to find an answer to an off the cuff comment. Hopefully you are more informed now. Still I don't think there was enough indication Joseph was gay besides the colourful dress he wore proudly. There a "pride" word for you.... . Back to the lovely Dolly Parton. You know at least that Dolly is a "gay icon". Now that much we are certain. One of the true gay icons of the second half of the 20th century. So there, a gay connection for you, which at least is provable. Back to the beautiful song then.

@@onewxrldmusic7303 if he was the 11th kid the probability of him being gay was greater, if he existed at all, and is not a story borrowed from other religions, which is generally the case for all of the good the bible stories.

@@granta3044 Ok Grant. Yeh, exactly like you said. Bravo. No need to waste more time. You know your stuff real well. Probably you are a true biblical scholar for all I know. Back to the page. You like Dolly Parton's song, just comment. You don't like her song based on some biblical story reference, ignore. I like the song. I think the story behind it is great. It also talks about fratricide, treachery, viciousness, jealousy deceit, criminal evil thinking, apathy, recklessness, ... It also shows great courage, smartness, wisdom and ingenuity on Joseph's side and great magnanimity and pardon when he met his brothers years later. As for biblical veracity, I am not the guy. I will not answer a single word to such a line of conversation on this thread further than what I said. I'm done at least on this subject. Hope this satisfied your inquisitive mind. My patience though has reached its limit. Have a great time ok? Enjoy the music. Enjoy the artist. Spread goodwill.

No, she grew up dirt poor she actually has the coat on display at Dollywood
