WOW - what a great moment for you Mickey!! And, grateful to Gayle and CBS to reach out to the most amazing Dolly to realize your dream to meet her. So happy for you! My heart was pounding and tears in my eyes watching you're response to meeting Dolly. And you looked great - I know I would have passed out if I stood that close to Dolly talking directly at me! :) And I agree - Dolly's influence on my life is ineffable !~ Best of luck to you! !!

+cxd2you I know...I was crying as well.

This is making me cry! Congratulations to you :)

Mickey Guyton hi there Micky! I love your voice! I love your heart and your soul! I love Country music and I actually love all music but I have to say I heard one song of yours and HAD to keep looking for your songs to hear more!!

Ms. M.G, you are a beautiful women and such a lady. Mickey Guyton forgive me but you're my new girl crush.

I love Dolly Parton. I have loved her since junior high. I love how down to earth and open she is.

@ljs490/ She is eternal! She is an icon and a legend. She will be with the world forever!

Ture. I drove 40 miles roundtrip to Houston, Texas to see Dolly and Kenny at the Houston Rodeo one year.

Jolene is one of my favorite songs. Dolly is definitely played in black households around the world, for decades.

Let these white folks know. They don't own country!

@@ericbrooks939 No nobody said anything about white people thinking that they own country music stop bringing stuff up

@@ericbrooks939 yeah the white people dont own country music as well as nobody owns any music wether white, black or brown or yellow. Music is music and its for all. But honestly the white people propagate it and developed it and made it famous. Off course there should be space for black and other colors of humans in country music

Yep just saw it too

She is a great singer 💯

Everybody loves Dolly.... She even donated over a million dollars to help get a Coronavirus vaccine discovered!!

👍👍👍😊

Breanna Nouveaux yes I had no idea who this girl was or that she was even a country singer now I'm going to have to research and find her music

Breanna Nouveaux. Can u not compliiment with out it involving her race

Soty Culler because race is the point of my post, you imp. If she was twerking in a thong or a woman crying over her son shot by the cops, you would have silently judged her because of her race. So, feel free to cut the crap, please and thank you. When it's time to bash black women or sit back whilst black women are bashed, no one thinks about race being a problem then. But when it's about praising black women, it gets folks upset. Disgusting.

Breanna Nouveaux. Shes pretty regardless of her race

Can't we just admit that Black women can be very beautiful, just as White women, Hispanic women, and Asian women are? Mickey Guyton is certainly evidence of that, as she's kind and sweet, and any reasonable person will have to admit that she IS incredibly beautiful.. Not to mention her voice !! INCREDIBLE talent..

Dolly seems to make everything okay. She is a light shining through the darkness saying, "it ain't so bad. You come on and walk with me".

Stephanie McGinty I am sick of every thing being about race. I love her voice and she is beautiful

There is a perception that black people don't like country. Not only that but black people have helped to influence all types of music, often with little representation. When race doesn't affect your life it is easy to say race shouldn't matter. However, black people were suffering from the same issues 3 years ago that we are now.

@@takealeftatthelight5284 Jessica you sound like a very good person who means no harm to anyone. Your point is very well taken. I believe that the way the world works is that if you don't have the problem then the problem doesn't exist. It's only when it's happening to you & only when it's making a negative impact on your life that it takes on any importance. God bless you and I hope that one day soon we can all try to out ourselves in the other person's shoes so that we can have some understanding & compassion for what they're going through. I love everybody & my dream is that we can someday live together as one family. There's no need for all this fussing & fighting. So unnecessary & so unproductive.

+beeatrice YOU are an IDIOT! DOLLY PARTON is the MOST FAMOUS "country singer" ON THE PLANET! BLACK or WHITE! By the way,what black WOMAN could she "research" concerning COUNTRY MUSIC? I am sure she has researched the LEGENDARY CHARLEY PRIDE,but he is NOT a woman in the business. Do YOU know ANY other black country singer,other than Darius Rucker,who no doubt got in because he was ALREADY known from Hootie and the Blowfish! ANYONE that wants to be in the music business should want to get inspiration from THE BEST in the field.

+beeatrice mickey loves dolly because she has heard her music since since she was a baby. if you do the right research you will learn country is a mixture of black, white & brown skinned peoples ethnic music blended together. blues (from African American work songs/spirituals + European American folk music) to Latino/Tejano & blue grass are all gneres that helped flavor country music. country is not from just one music genre. country was not created by just one people of a certain color or origin. why is that when someone doesn't discriminate and admires a person outside their community there's always some butt hurt bigot ready to tear her down for it? we can't make a persons skin color NOT be an issue until everyone stops making it one. now, tell me, what recordings can she listen to from the 1700's and 1800's in order to pay homage to anyone from those era's...? don't worry i'll wait.

+meboneme1 what I don't get is why it's great if a white singer has a black singer as their favorite...but, when a black gal has a white girl as hers she is selling out her people. STOP MAKING COLOR AN ISSUE! stop dictating to people who they want to admire. you're spot on, meboneme1. dolly is the queen of country music. she started during an era when women got shit for money, didn't get the respect of their male counter parts and had to fight the "good old boys club." if anyone wants to learn how to build and maintain a music career look at dolly.

+beeatrice Maybe you should do a little research on Dolly Parton, if you want to make this a black and white issue. Dolly has had a lot of African American associations through the years. Did you know that she had a #1 hit song, "Starting Over Again" written by Donna Summer? Did you know she had an Academy Award nominated duet, "The Day I Fall In Love", with James Ingram? Did you know that Whitney Houston recorded the biggest #1 song of all time, "I Will Always Love You", written by Dolly? Did you know that Oprah Winfrey once said that Dolly was the #1 celebrity on her list that she wanted to interview in the 80s? Did you know that Queen Latifah and Keke Palmer starred in a movie, "Joyful Noise" along side Dolly and sang many of Dolly's original songs? Wow...maybe Mickey has a reason to want to meet Dolly? Good for her! I hope they'll collaborate on something great too! Isn't nice to have people who are happy in this world? Just sayin'

This has nothing to do with who started country music, nor race. We've all come a long way and if you expect for things to better further from now, we all need to put away that type of thinking. There's nothing wrong with knowing history and not letting it repeat itself, although holding grudges over anything, doesn't help the future, it's just a way to keep people hating each other, when love covers a multitude of sins.
