Yes....Dolly is a national treasure, and this is based on a true story. She grew up in extreme poverty in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. She has written thousands of songs, but I can't remember exact number. She's also a class act and very smart.

Dolly Parton is 78 years old and when she finally became wealthy, she created Dolly Parton‘s imagination library. It’s a program for all children newborn to five years old where you sign your child up and once a month you get a new book for five years for your child She pays for everything the shipping no matter where you are and little children get to have storybook and their own little imagination library for free. Dolly Parton is an angel on this earth. She writes all her own songs, and she’s beloved by so many of us. The one song that hurt my heart so much, was the song called Little Andy. Get the tissues out if you’re gonna listen to it. Thank you for covering her music. Many blessings to you young man.

Yes, it's a true story. This song is so iconic that The Smithsonian Museum asked to have the coat to display but neither she nor her mama could remember what had happened to it. She said it undoubtedly got passed down to the next younger, the one after that & so on until it was completely worn out. So her mama made another one & that one's at The Smithsonian.

The way she looks back on a very poor childhood but she felt rich because of all the love. She’s a beautiful human being. Beautiful reaction 👌

Something my mom told me once when we were listening to this is: "How do you think those girls felt when she wrote this song and it went Platinum?" It's stuck with me ever since I was a Little Girl

She is genuine: she helped ALL the families affected by the fires in Gathering and she has a program that sends free books to kids! Listen to Jolene, another true story

When you listen to Dolly sing “I will always love you” it’s like she is singing directly to the listener!

I love her so much. Her lyrics are something else. It's just pure and honest. They are very simple in text and chords, but I doesn't need much. The sadest song ever is *me and little Andy"

Dolly has written thousands of songs. She has been an actress, director, producer, composer, song writer, entrepreneur, charitable person and so much more. She was 78 in January and looks fantastic!

My favorite Dolly song. Growing up we weren’t that poor and I didn’t realize we were poor, we were so rich in love. Thanks for the reaction

Dolly is a true humanitarian. Everything I see her in public performances, she comes across as never forgetting where she came from.she always seems so full of joy and never diva like most singers these days.

If you want Dolly to take you to church, she can do that too. Her song Hello, God, which she wrote after 9-11, is a masterpiece. Her lyrics can paint a picture. My Tennesee Mountain Home is another song like Coat of Many Colors that just paints the picture of her childhood.

All true! She lived in a one bedroom cabin with 11 siblings. Pops was a sharecropper in Tennessee. The movie about her is fantastic. ❤ Dolly has Bookmobiles in Tennessee which deliver free books to kids. She has many charities. The woman is a saint.

It is a true story and a lot of Dolly's songs are are of her and her life experiences. Gotta love her!

Amazing lyrical and musical gifts. And a legacy of so many relatable songs and stories. Her creativity seems effortless. But there is so much remarkable about Dolly. Pure soul. Character. Humility. Wisdom. Intelligence. Incredible drive. Purpose. Compassion. Kindness. Humor. Strength. Authenticity. Honor. The list could go on. Savvy and sincere, Dolly has truth in her. Her personality is so down-to-earth and her voice is so sweet. Her charity is legendary. Her life is a blessing. Her heart is wider than the whole South. She is an American treasure!

She became known to people at first as the girl singer, duet partner to Porter Wagoner on the Porter Wagoner show. When she left the show it really upset him and he started suing her and she said he just wouldn’t listen to reason about it so she wrote I Will Always Love You for him and played it for him and I think he finally came to some kind of peace with it before he died. I think he just loved her too much to let her go and she wanted to spread her wings and fly like that eagle she sings about. Anyway, she flew and isn’t the world so much better off because of it? I love me some Dolly!! 💖

❤Thanks for playing this music video. She's so awesome and will always be cherished in the world.❤

Every song she wrote is a true life experience

The first time I heard this song, it brought a tear to my eye. I too grew up without much. My mom used to make me crocheted hats and gloves to keep me warm. Although she passed over ten years ago, I still remember all the times she did without so we could have all we needed.

There are too many Dolly songs to pick from. "Here You Come Again" is a good one.

Coat of Many Colors is also the name of the movie about Dolly Parton growing up with fam.

This is why I LOVE older country music it tells a story and brings real feelings up for me and everytime I hear her and Kenny Rogers it makes me think of my dad and going for drives with him when we were little and wven when we were all grown up my dad passed away 4 years ago this August from a stroke he was 77 years old I miss him every day

When Dolly was younger, she sometimes fought back tears when singing this song. It was as if the experience was recent and the emotions easily surfaced.

I've heard this song so many times over the years and still, every time I hear it I am moved. Dolly Parton was truly blessed in the way that she was raised. In faith and love and wisdom.

The coat is in her museum in Dollywood. the museum is being refurbished i was there for Christmas. I've been blessed with seeing it in person . after seeing the oat and then hearing the song will make you eyes sweat with respect !!!!

You need to do a deep dive on Dolly! Music, movies, television, Dollywood, philanthropy, book program for children, charity for all kinds of folks, nothing she does is by accident! Heart of gold, and she has certainly "stored her treasures in heaven", as The Good Book tells us.

Dolly is a treasure. And she along with other country music singers are great story tellers.

Cant help but love Dolly even if your not into country. Another heartbreaking song by her is Me And Little Andy.

I remember hearing this song when I was little and we weren’t even lower middle class. Like Dolly Parton we grew up poor, never knew it till I was much older and I was starting my family with a 4 yr old that really didn’t know me I was half way around the world. 7 years later my new wife and I brought a new boy to my life. This also goes back to Joseph in the Bible. Dolly doesn’t need money, when a tornado came through and destroyed Pidgin Forge and Dollywood. A lot of those people don’t have home insurance. Dolly made a few calls and really didn’t want it to go out, she rebuilt the houses of the town she grew up in and rebuilt the park. That was from her pocket and from her heart. Dolly should be the standard, she doesn’t look down on anyone and will help anyone without being asked.

👏👏👏Dolly is a wonderful song writer, love how she can create a picture as if she is singing right in your living room...👏👏👏

This and "Me and Little Andy" are my favorite Dolly songs.

That was her Life Truly it was. Dolly started singing commercially at the age of 12. She went on to be one of the greatest music story tellers of all time.

The best way to describe her is that she is a storyteller,

This song is from a true experience that she had. There were many country stars that were dirt poor growing up. That's how they made their fame and fortune, telling stories from when they were poor, and growing up. If you liked this song, check out Loretta Lynn's Coal Miner's Daughter. Dolly wrote or cowrote every song she ever sang. She wrote songs that a LOT of other stars sang as well. Look it up, you'd be surprised!

Brings tears to my eyes the same as Elvis Presley's song titled "In the ghetto " does. 😢 It gets me right in the ❤❤

My family was nowhere near as poor as Dolly's, but my father was a nurse and my mother a stay at home Mom to take care of their six kids, so money was tight. My mother made many of my clothes, not always stylish, but they did the trick. My "friends" made fun as children often do, but I knew my parents did the best they could, but I was loved and supported, and we always had enough to eat. Dolly's lyrics speak of the important things in life, and try to remind us that expectations of an easy life are the enemy of happiness.

Dolly is a prolific songwriter. Yes she revealed it was autobiographical when she performed it on the Johnny Carson show. You MUST see the Barbara Walters interview of Dolly Parton where Barbara Walters is patronizing toward Dolly treating her like she is a dumb hick. Dolly answers with grace and charm - an amazing interview showing how classy Dolly is. Tip: the interview where Dolly is wearing an aqua dress and rose in her hair.

I've heard this song many times and I love it. Dolly paints the picture as she sings. Everything you said about her made me tear up. Thank you for appreciating the great Dolly. You've got a new subscriber in an oul Granny from Northern Ireland. BTW I'm the same age as Dolly. ❤

This coat is on display at "Dollywood" in Piegon Forge, Tennessee.

Yes she is!!! What you see is what you get with Dolly!!!

Hello My Friend, At this point in her life Dolly had already written 3,800 songs. This is a true story, with Dolly being 1 of 12 kids living in a shack in the Tennessee Mountain’s. Dolly is a treasure & watching her preform is so unique. She is a natural comedian who pokes fun at herself. No electricity nor running water people asked about bathing. Dolly said in the Summer they would go down to the creek splashing water down here, over up & around (she goes over her boobs she moves her hands) laughing. In the Winter Momma would fill the washtub & heat some water on the stove, a wood stove & everyone bathed in that same wash tub. She would laugh talking about growing up. Did you notice her plucking away on that guitar with long nails & no guitar pic. Dolly in many concerts goes through every instrument she plays guitar’s of every type, the fiddle, a wooden flute, a saxophone, and on & on she goes. Dolly doesn’t just write lyrics, she composes the instrumentation as well. Here is a Dolly fact: You will never see Dolly wear short sleeves, growing up she & her siblings were running around falling getting cut & being poor they didn’t have money. So, Momma would reach down pick up a needle to sew her & her brothers & sister up. Some scars she covered up with tattoos, but she started wearing long sleeves at some point. The Rock Album Dolly released on her 78th birthday in 2024 was her 50th Studio album covering Country, Pop, and Rock genres. ✌🏼 Timothy in Tallahassee, Florida 😎🌴

This is Dolly true life story. She wrote it and she said she has written over 3000 songs. 9-5 was a movie in the 90 I think, she wrote that song too. She also owns her very own theme park Dollywood in Sevierville TN

I read once they started making her wear fake jewelry, because if someone said oh I like those earrings or whatever, she'd take it off and give it to them. She's a kind person. She does a book program giving books to children all kinds of things. She doesn't really brag about all that she does for others. She's a humble person and been happily married for like something like 50 years.

This is why as a born and raised Michigander, i stayed 21 years in East Tennessee!

She has earned way more money for writing I Will Always Love You than Whitney earned singing it. From what I’ve read about her she is a genuinely nice person. I LOVE Dolly Parton and this is my favorite song of hers. I’m looking forward to more reactions to her❤️👍

I just love this song! And Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter". Both from their actual lives. 😊

Dolly is a song writer to. Your right this is a true story. Hers. So is a loving, giving person, charitable and brilliant. Evreyone loves Dolly because she is brilliant and cares about people and her fans so much. She has written and had 950 songs published. She has helped many other performers grow and succeed. I respect her.she wrote and sang Jolene, working girl, so many others, Tom Jones they made fun of him to.

Her concert was the best concert I have ever seen, it was her last tour. She is such a unique woman and she has a story behind every song and her song tells the stories throw her music. People have talked about her huge breast, the make-up, the outfits, even the heels she wears. One of the stories she told on stage is she liked looking different she met the town flusy(hooker) when she was a young child and she decided at a young age she was going to look like her, she thought she was beautiful. I have on my bucket list to meet her and talk to her, which if it ever happened I probably would not be able to find words to speak. There is no one that will ever be able top her, one song she does sang "He's Alive" she started sang in church, listen to the story.

She was the very first concert I ever went to....She's an amazing performer. Two songs that are extremely well worth listening to: Me and Little Andy.....prepare yourself to be moved.....very very moved Jolene.....one of her biggest hits. Written on the same day as I Will Always Love You The rabbit hole is immense on this one, boss.....

Working 9 to 5 is a great Dolly Parton song too. She wrote it for the movie 9 to 5 that she starred in.

Dolly Parton wrote all of her songs. She has a theme park in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee called Dollywood. Her relatives have jobs there

This song is a true story from her childhood

Dolly ..is one of the greatest ladies of country, the other I would recomend is Lorretta Lynn and her song "Coal Miners Daughter".

Of all the Dolly songs this is my favorite one of hers

It is hard to pick a favorite. I also love the Trio Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmalou Harris.

This is Dolly song, I will be 63yrs old I love Dolly so much ❤️🇺🇸

I'm on the other side of the world crying at that powerful song , at the moment I am job hunting but I'm so rich because I have time with family and friends , im a busy teacher usually and this season of rest has taught me to trust God to provide

You should listen to 9 To 5 as well. Dolly Parton is one of the best songwriters of all time

Now check out "Jolene" by Dolly. Another banger!

History... with music in it. Most of the BEST writers do this. I know a few good song writers. maybe not of HER caliber... but when you hear a writer singing what they wrote, and you know it's LIFE, they experienced... WHAM.

Dolly wrote this Coat of Many Colors...She wrote so so many songs.

Dolly Parton's "Hello God" is a masterpiece. It will hit you like a ton of bricks.

Hard Candy Christmas always gets me in my feels

She made a movie about this song and you see the actual hate some of her classmates treated her with. She didn't wear her normal clothes under it the first time she wore it to school, and they ended up taking it off her and shoving her in a closet and made her cry.

We All Love Dolly ! Yes this is her story

I am sorry but I am late to the party! I am Canadian but we love Dolly too ! And she is now in the rock n roll hall of fame ! And a rock album ! And this is from an old girls that loves pearl jam , nirvana, foo fighters etc . Love your channel ! Keep up the good work!

All of Dolly songs are great. ❤

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris " The Sweetest Gift" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She not only writes and sings but she plays about 8 different instruments ❤

So loved your Reaction . reminds me of my Mom , we were not rich and 9 kids and we had hand me downs with patches. and when the youngest went to school, My Mom went to work as a Custodian, We were so proud of her.

Dolly is a story teller and she uses music to tell it and most of them are her life experiences

Dolly Parton: Eagle When She Flies

You nailed it. That's what country music is. People telling their stories

I always loved "Love is like a Butterfly. "

YES DOLLY WROTE COAT OF MANY COLORS , SHE WROTES ABOUT THINGS IN HER LIFE .

I know we're out of the Christmas season, but "Hard Candy Christmas" is a favorite of mine!!!!

This is a true story of her youth….you should see her movie of the same name…

I love the song "love is like a butterfly". So beautiful

It's her American heart.

This was back when people were proud. And real. Love Dolly.

I've seen the coat this song is about. It is on display at "Dollywood" in Pigon Forge Tennessee.

My first country crush as a little kid. My favorite song of hers

Beautiful song .. another great one is Don’t make me come down there.. rings true these days 🥰🇦🇺

Hard candy Christmas was one of my favorites of Dolly’s.

Dolly wrote this song about what really happened to her. Her family was large and very poor. Most of her songs were true. About her life. Listen to , “Jolene”. About a girl who flirted with her husband.

Since you like Kenny Rogers. Listen to Kenny and Dolly, who were great friends, duo "Islands in the Stream". I love it and so will you. This is a true story and wasade into a movie.

She said once an interview that the kids at school ended up ripping it off of her and she went home and in bitter tears.

To be loved is the most important thing we can hope for.❤

Love love love that you did this! Always chokes me up too. It’s beautiful

So much feeling in your reaction - thank you.

Put these songs in your Dolly Playlist "The Bridge" and "Joshua".

This song is true.Her mom did make her a coat out of those rags.

There's only one song. By Dolly yeah there's only one. A coat of many colors it was amazing. It was a piece of her childhood memories. ❤

This one always brings on the tears ❤️

This song always, always brings such poignancy and sweetness, tears to my eyes.

This is about her life as a child. Her mom made her the coat of many colors from wags.

Perfect understanding - great reaction. And because of her business sense, she's a gazillionaire.

Even though Dolly is famous, she is so down to earth and humble.

she understands the working people, because its in her bones, god bless

This is my favorite Dolly song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy :)
