Dolly is the queen, full stop tbh

No , she is more than that she is a nation treasure !!!! She is one of a kind and there will never be another.

She is not just country she is the queen of music. She has written song for all genres! She is also not just the queen but she is a Legendary singer song writer, and a pioneer for women in music... all music!

Well they didn't know that

Yes that's true, and I agree completely. Really love Dolly!

Dolly, just singing her truth so beautifully like no one else. Although it certainly brings to mind Loretta and Coal Miner’s Daughter... just singing so eloquently about what they knew.

I love that you guys are listening to music that most your age would never listen to. Should listen to Islands in the Stream by her and Kenny Rogers.

You represent your generation really well. Love your open mindedness, understanding and respect towards various genres of all times. This song happens to be one of my favorites. I’m not a massive country fan but I also love and appreciate all the same aspects of her songs and talent.

@@carolinebcollier YES!!! I was thinking that, too!

That is so cool!

Jess Carnes thank you.

Cool story!!!

Meloney Parker thank you

How cool!

Well said!

Also an amazing movie starring Sissy Spacek.

MY Fave .. My mama was the daughter of a Coal Miner .. ( kids my granddaddy raised on that pay .. They grew up in a Shack But were happy for what they had

Yes!!!!!

The original coat is in a museum in Tennessee

She’s amazing

It was dolly’s song from the beginning, she performed and recorded it in the 70s. Whitney Houston only covered it on the film body “bodyguard” but she did make it more famous. Also Elvis Presley wanted to cover it in 70s but for him to do that dolly had to sign the rights aways or something so Dolly refused. I love both versions of the song

she wrote the song to porter wagoner because she was trying to get off his show and make it on her own.

You mean the dolly parton song

She wrote I will Always Love You and Jolene in the same day.

It was Dolly’s song. Whitney asked Dolly for permission to sing it and Dolly said yes. The original version is Dolly.

I love that Dolly, especially, transcends all generations. These boys don't know who she really is (everything she's done) but she still draws a reaction of real respect.

I suspect these young men are music scholars.

Oouga Hersharr sweet story 🥰

That's why there's insurance. (You probably never would have gotten remunerated.) But your hearts are in the right place. Your momma bought them for you!♡

I do so hope that we can get to a point where even the poorest in our country don't have to work three jobs for any reason. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman ❤️

That's a beautiful story, moms would replace anything for their kids safety

May not be the same story but just as touching, it moved me just the same.

Her father was illiterate and was a sharecropper when she was born. He paid the doctor who helped deliver her with a bag of corn meal.

wimpact.wow! I did not know that! Ty

Ooh this is a great suggestion! And Patsy Cline too.

Right?? I adore them!!!! Such broad minds!!

@BSquared Fancy meeting you here! Funny that I mentioned Music Reaction Vids on the one I put up, just Yesterday, about "Discount lawyers," and "Juggling Conflicting Goals." Six min. Do let me know what you think of it, dear PATRIOT!

Yes that is a good one, so is One Piece at a Time.

GREAT recommendation! Definitely, @twinsthenewtrend listen to that song!!! I *promise* you won't regret it!

Gotta agree about “A Boy Named Sue.” I think these guys would sync with that sentiment-pathos plus irony plus irreverence, wrapped up into one song.

Good one. They would pause after every line to laugh at the lyrics!

Yes, yes, yes!

Hell yea! A song like no other.

It really set the template for all the others. i love Fancy, too.

What do you think they threw over the bridge? I love the song too.. ppl get different meanings of it, especially after the movie

Yes! Oh my god, I forgot I loved that song when I was a kid!

I've heard that song over a hundred times. And every time I get drawn into it's haunting story.

When I was a kid, I loved that song.

Yaaaaasss!!!

CLINE

This one!

leah miars made famous by Patsy, but written by Willie Nelson!

Amazing song, amazing artist

And she wrote it about Kenny Rogers.

@foots2066 @@rachelbarber8814 It's about her mentor and one time partner, Porter Wagoner. She wrote and performed it for Porter before leaving The Porter Wagoner Show. I forget who the interview was with but if I find it I'll post a link, but in the interview she stated that she wrote Jolene that same day. Another fun fact is that Dolly had suggested to Patti Labelle several times that she record it because she thought Patti would have been able to sing it wonderfully. (I agree with Dolly on that.) After Patti heard Whitney Houston's rendition she deeply regretted putting it off.

@@KindraShalynnHaimberger You're right. Porter Wagoner was my best friend's godfather, & that's what she told me too. She also told me that Dolly is just as sweet and funny as she seems.

Kindra Shalynn Haimberger she tells the story about leaving the Porter Wagoner show and playing him that song to tell him she was leaving. It is the most beautiful story. It’s on the podcast Dolly Parton’s America. Can’t remember the episode number, but it’s so good!

@@rachelbarber8814 I think it was actually about Porter Wagner.

And Joseph became like a prime minister in Egypt (second to the Pharaoh) and was able to save the whole family of Jacob from a famine.

Lottie Faith omg my mother did too I loved my pants with the ruffles I didn’t know why I thought it was just because I always loved girly things

My mom sewed a wide groovy ribbon around the bottom of mine back in the 70s.

I remember my mother doing that to my pants. Yup, I was made fun of. At an early age, I was taught consider the source. Maybe all they have are things but no love.

That's a great story song. I always got chills listening to that song.

yes!

Ooooh yes!! I also love Allison Krause’s collaboration with Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin, also an amazing band they should react to) called Raising Sand. The whole album is banger. Gives me chills and has a lot of that bluegrass influence that Dolly Parton has.

Another channel reacted to it and he literally cried. It was so emotional, he used the opportunity to speak about mental illness and substance abuse and it was amazing but also very hard to watch.

I ❤️ that song!

The song makes me cry, especially after seeing the video, it's heartbreaking.

Listen to tea and toast By Lucy Spraggan

Yes please he has a beautiful voice

I much prefer, “Why Me Lord.”

I HATE that Song! 😬 👎 Lmao! 😝 😂

Definitely, I'd love to hear their reaction

thanks, just watched it,

@@Military450Veteran I can see how that could happen but I find it funny.

@@simonesmit6708 Huh?? 😬 WHAT could happen?? 😨

I know what you mean😊. I still have many sweaters that grandma made for me and I wear during winter. Many people compliment me on them but that is because grandma was so talented😃. May she rest in peace.

My mom was an only child, her mom, my Nana, taught me how to crochet & embroider from a very young age because my mom had been uninterested in all that. My family also made sure I learned to sew through 4-H starting at 8 years old. I taught myself to knit when I was 30. I love to make things for others. I still have many things Nana made, and I made things for the family from supplies she left me. It used to hurt when my family didn't treasure the things I make, because I can tell you that makers honestly do put love into every stitch. We think about the loved ones we're making for the entire time we're working, and hope they'll enjoy what we've made as much as we enjoyed creating something for them. My younger sister often put things I made for her children away for safekeeping, which drove me nuts, because I wanted my niece & nephew to use the things I made them. I had to learn to really let go when I made things, and stop having expectations of how they'd be used or appreciated. But I'm sure you've honored your grandmother well by cherishing what she made for you, and as long as you hold onto those items she made with her own 2 hands, you still touch her spirit and keep her love alive.

@@historianKelly Your life story is beautiful, too😊. I DO feel sorry that your loved ones don't appreciate your efforts. My grandma made some complicated crocheting patterns which I do appreciate and think of her when I put it on😄. I don't wear them too often so they don't wear out too quickly since they are irreplaceable. Even as a child, grandma sometimes made me clothes from patterns and I loved them. When they were too small, we sent them to our family and friends in Poland and they appreciated them. Even my crocheted dresses were appreciated there, too😃. KER, I would appreciate your work if I ever came across it. Homemade clothing and accessories are worth more to me than store bought items👍.

Yes it is!! I really recommend listening to hers AND the version by the song's writer, Kris Kristofferson (you guys might know him as an actor). The versions are very different but both great!

Should definitely listen that!

Me and Bobby AND Summertime by Janis Joplin!

Kristofferson actually pushed Janis to make a rendition of Me and Bobby McGee. He liked her version better.

Guys.....please listen to Janis Joplin!

Both AWESOME songs!

I asked for Sinead’song too. I am waiting for it

Yes Sinead O'Connor

Whoa! Nice one. Boy they make me feel old 😂

@@sibbylou me too but I love how they create a bridge of humanity.

Yes! That one!

The original version by Vickie Lawrence.

Written by Tom T Hall sung by Jeannie C Riley

Do you listen to Evanescence?

How about Dolly and Portner Wagner, her duet partner before Kenny

Sherri Howe I ❤ islands in the stream 😍👍👌

Agreed. Her duets with Kenny are the best.

Kenny and her are legends❤️

Yes this is a must!

YES!

Good :) Mama still "blessed it with a kiss."

That's my jam!!!
