Dolly Parton "Put A Little Love In Your Heart"

This is from September 30, 1992, when I sang with the Christ Church Choir, and we performed on the CMA Awards with Dolly. I'm the girl with the big, blonde hair, front row & center! :)

[@Ginger515]

Dolly doesn't usually lip sync...she was sick this night and didn't want to put on a less-than great performance, so she went into the studio and cut it so she could start & stop as she needed to. Still turned out well!

[@DollyParton1946]

and so you know Dolly has been lipsyncing since the 90s.........and there is tons of proof!!!

[@CaitlinMarieFraze]

Have you ever met dolly

[@brandonleeaguilar]

@@CaitlinMarieFraze i met Dolly she was scary in real life

[@Huntinbear]

one of my favorite of her appearances, she looks absolutely stunning.

[@rexdudeclone]

[@HannibalThor]

Perfectly understandable, and takes absolutely nothing away from this excellent performance.

[@haleytoe1999]

dolly is the queen of country ... she is my idol .. i love her since in style

[@hoopy1111]

you can tell she is excited to do this song.. her whole body is shaking.. she is not lip signing come on you guys she doesnt have to she can sing anything anywhere anytime..

[@dancamp1531]

When Dolly was just starting in country music Johnny Cash told Dolly never give up your dreams and one day your the biggest star and your one very beautiful singer!!!

[@18279721]

Dolly has always been a great woman

[@MrTaniaburnard]

I needed me some dolly this morning :)

[@Combinia]

that moment the choir sings the first "and the world,, ......... goosebumps!

[@juntosaym]

If the world would head by this song we would be better off.

[@glo-alexxysm7030]

yes i love it

[@saraalvarez7354]

There are 50 versions of this song on youtube but next to the original Jackie DeShannon singing it Dolly Pardon is next best period.

[@richardgertler2036]

This is such a beautiful song and Dolly Parton, as always, adds the true spirit of sharing love into it!

[@kehindedees3966]

Thanks Ginger for putting this amazing song out. I keep on watching the video. I love the video. Thanks to Dolly brilliant performance at all time. It makes me happy listening and watching. I check u out there as well

[@naughtyauttie]

You all sounded amazing...and if that is Dolly, being a little bit "hoarse" as she says, in her intro...well my goodness! She can do no wrong, with her singing!!! :D

[@JaninesDreams]

I love Dolly Parton, she's such a good singer, and she's just so NICE!

[@tobiasdubose8812]

One day when I become a country music star, I am going to perform at the CMA awards just one day.

[@brainstorm4207]

[@revjdavidson]

I'd suggest starting by releasing some covers (or originals) on your channel... But you've got my support. :)

[@tedhitsman841]

Good luck on your ambition!

"IF we had enough of it (love) we could heal this entire world and all the problems in it"... VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT!!!! Should be heard during the elections this year! Listen to those ad campains.... And our world is like it is Because????? Mmmm Hmm

[@dpfan1982]

Dolly has made this a better world just for being in it... :)

[@tkmaz]

Dolly always makes me cry...I don't know why...I'm not even a fan of country music. Hits me in the gut every time. But oddly enough when I was a little girl she was like a mainstay of pop culture...so maybe it's just childhood stuff.

[@JBCo2012]

A Cry spelling Love and Compassion and Empathy is a GOOD thing! No need to apologize. It shows you are a Good Person! G-D Bless You!

[@Christine.Delaney]

+tkmaz ~ SHE HITS ME THE GUT AND THE HEART EVERY TIME, TOO! Not from childhood stuff - but because who she is, how she is - AND THIS SONG WHOLLY REFLECTS SO MUCH OF WHAT I ADMIRE AND ADORE ABOUT DOLLY PARTON. I hate to be obsessive about an entertainer - but I am addicted to how good she makes me feel ~ and I want more of that feeling and inspiration! Heaven sent - as far as I am concerned !

[@timmielp1212]

Its live. Dollys "Slow dancing with the moon" is my all time fav and i grew up with it since its release. This is on of my fave tracks. and u can hear a hoarsness but she controls it and kinda has benefits i think.

[@_Only_Zuul]

i like the franklin/lennox version better but it was good to hear this :)

[@excarman]

This is my favorite version of this song

[@raoulmcwenna6499]

mine too. so strong

[@iluvdogs5813]

The show must go on, and Dolly did. Instead of being merciless critics, people should give her credit for doing her duty and performing while not feeling well.

[@rcfanaticdublin]

this is a beautifull song and even poetry. my favorite version is Al Green & Annie Lennox I like this version too.

[@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831]

rcfanaticdublin Al green and Annie lenix both suck. I have seen a comment that Jackie de shannon has a version of this as well. I only heard of her for the first time a few years back when I pulled up her shitty version of a song I had always thought was originally talented Pam Tillis song and Jackie de shannon sucks as well. Never heard de shannon al or Annie's versions. I know what all their voices sound like from other stuff. They are ALL COMPLETELY ABSOLUTELY garbage. This is the ONLY version worth listening to

[@HyperHoundoom123]

@rexdudeclone I'm in fifth grade, and i have to memorize this!

[@kimberlykline31]

I wish the whole world could hear this song. We could all stand to show more love. God Bless u Dolly.

[@sirscotty1]

I have posted this many times on Facebook regarding the North Korean conflict as well as people who post racial posts on the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman incident.

[@lovethatwhit]

@rondelespirit she did not say that she was lyping, she said Im hoarse, pray for me.

[@SwAggCiTyent305]

Watch the opening 20 seconds as she walks down the aisle, with a gaggle of middle-aged men desperately trying to make eye contact with her - and failing. Miserably... As she's a woman it's obviously all her fault..! ;-)

[@liveordiem.t.3450]

omg haha!:)

[@liveordiem.t.5468]

omg ikr!

[@lakshmiluvsvishnu]

WOW Ginger, that had to be the most amazing experience for your choir! You totally ROCKED! And Dolly knocking it out of the ballpark with a sore throat? INSPIRATIONAL....

[@liveordiem.t.3450]

she was lip singing!

[@liveordiem.t.5468]

liveordie M.T. shut up grumy cat!she had to!

[@Mini-Moon]

@jh603937 She was lip syncing, she said so in her enterance to the stage, but it is alright because she is lyping to herself..... Better to have her that way then not at all as you all would agree with me. We Love Dolly!!!!!!

[@excarman]

I love dolly parton's version of this song especially with a quoir

[@dollylove46]

@herbg3 she lipsynched because she was terribly sick and could barely talk. but since she's the worldclass superstar that she is, the CMA's promoted the hell out of her singing at the end of this show so they insisted she still perform even if it's a pre-recorded version, and Dolly hates letting her fans down so she did it pre-recorded. So yeah, she lipsynched... But it's not a bad thing.

[@timofreeman4574]

Fun! It seems like she is lip syncing at times, at other times, it seems like it's live... WHERE IS HER MICROPHONE? In her hair?

[@liveordiem.t.3450]

yep it is in her hair!

[@liveordiem.t.5468]

Brings back memories of watching this night of country. Love seeing the choir and everyone up there. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@yedon68]

A wonderful performance by the chior and off-course Dolly Parton sang & looked beautiful... Ginger you are beautiful too...what a gig!

[@marybutala9387]

Wow this was one of my favourite songs in primary school and we always use to sing it I did not know that Dolly sang it so awesome just made my night!

[@lynbyrd482]

Back when country was still country!

[@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831]

Lyn Byrd what the fuck has changed????? Kinda beyond the point of impossible to put back when country was still country when as of may of 2018 it STILL CURRENTLY IS country

[@brandonleeaguilar]

This was a turning point for Dolly, it feels like. The very tail end of her mainstream days as an artist played on country radio. A swan song in a way. It seems like a pinnacle too, of her beauty. After this she seemed a little overboard with the plastic surgery. It’s unfortunate it’s lipsynced and not live, but much of “Slow Dancing With The Moon,” had that same canned, wooden quality. It’s fun to see her marching through the crowd so confidently. After this, mainstream country became something else. It moved on without her. The fact she lasted as long as she did is something of a miracle in and of itself.

[@SUNSHINE-rz5ce]

THANKS DOLLY, GREAT SONG. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LOVE.

[@BLUEOHIO]

I watch this show for seeing the beautiful legend Dolly Parton and hearing her sing brings joy and love in everyones heart and sorry the best singer ever along with Tina Turner,Cher,Janis Joplin and Billy Holiday love these women!!!

[@liwmld]

first heard this old song back when i was a kid by a lady named Jackie Deshannon... think i'd better look it up now. had it on a 45. Dolly did a good job, though, like she always does with every song. Ginger... thanks for posting. what a wonderful memory this must be for you.

[@harleygirl473]

this is what we all need

[@xMadelienex]

Haha exactly the same here. She's amazing! So jolly and musically talented.

[@Robin-Lynn]

"a little hoarse"? Come on, Dolly belted that out perfect.

[@bootdriven]

Bravo Dolly.

[@rickardodobson9470]

This is originally a Mahalia Jackson song from her 1969 Album. It can found right here her on KZbin.

[@sirscotty1]

Ginger, Thank you so much for posting this. I have watched it over 100 times. I absolutely love it. Dolly looks better than I have ever saw her in this video. Simply STUNNING!

[@ronnieluv]

Thankyou so much for sharing this!!! So awesome! I LOVE Dolly! And how wonderful for you to be a part of this video! It made it even more exciting to watch!!! What a blessing to be a part of something like that,and to sing with Dolly!!! Take care and be blessed!!

[@justfortube1612]

Is that Tanya Goodman Sykes in the choir at 1:31?

[@Flyermac]

80's! It is the first time I listen to that song, I am from Brazil, but she was very famous here, too. She is very talented and full of soul. The country music reminds me the adventures of the old western movies, the breeze, the trains, the costumes. Beautiful everything. Hugs to everybody!

[@considerablybiggerbuns7746]

That;s not lip synced at all Dolly!!!

[@tinabutkus4619]

God created Dolly to. be gift to the world !! she is a God send nd very loving lady I'm a fan for life. Love you Dolly 😇😇

[@Geezworld234]

just amazing its so good it gave me goosebumps, the best version of this song i have heard! :) man Dolly is so beautiful! xx

[@Ginger515]

You need to work on your reading comprehension. Nobody is saying that she *can't* sing "by herself" without lip syncing. In *this* instance, she was lip syncing because she had been sick. Somebody asked if she was, and I answered their question honestly. There is no need to try and create a controversy that doesn't exist. 99.9% of the time, Dolly sings live. This video is the .1% that she wasn't able to.

[@mthivier]

No, as with any year Dolly was on the CMAs, CBS hype the hell out of it beforehand, announcing she would be singing. That's probably why the producers let her pretape her vocals, even though lipsynching is generally not allowed on awards shows, since her performance was expected (and the finale was built around her performance), and if her voice had failed and she couldn't sing, it would have been a big disappointment to everyone who was expecting her.

[@MegaSage007]

@yeehawmillion I was disappointed to hear she is mouthing the song, but if I was in her position, I would do the same thing; particularly if my throat was threatening to fail me. Anyway, I studied with your tip in mind but didn't see it. How do you explain the rocking out at the end of the song where the same refrain was repeated. "PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART." The audience is stirred. Just mouthing a song wouldn't stir them. ///

[@leftfieldmind]

Dolly has been a NOTORIOUS lip sync'er.... this could have been because she was sick but she has done it for years.... she also was one of the first country singers to use her own voice in the system so she could stop singing live and just keep lip singing off an on as she felt like it.... LOVE HER, so don't get me wrong.... i also think this is when she truly looked her best,, her current chin implants are so hard to look at,, i miss this look the most..beautiful

[@Mini-Moon]

@lovethatwhit which is a polite way of saying I am lyping, rather than.. be acused of it later, I have the video, recorded it and she fell off sync a couple of times, if one is hoarse, why would you push your vocal cords then? Its all Good, i love dolly have and always will no matter what... with respect, Peace

[@1jks]

Ya she is just said "Well congratulation" with her mouth closed and messed up "I fell a lot of love in this room, ya know love is a wonderful thing".. now I like Dolly and I think her asking to be excused is a way of saying sorry for not singing live to the people that could see it live. This don't mean she can't sing, just that she was lip singing here.

[@hoopy1111]

As much traveling she does is why she wears wigs.. I know her sister and that is what she said. I love them both they are great people.. they are down to earth and have a good heart too. This is one of my favorite songs relting to the world and people and love. Yes, we need to put a little love in our hearts and heal this earth.

[@countrycrazy1969]

I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that a lot of the performances on award shows and other live shows (David Letterman, Leno, etc) are lip-synced. There's an old video of Pure Prairie League on the Merv Griffin show and down at the bottom it says that they were lip-syncing the song.

[@SonofEmmy2]

I always found this performance so awkward and embarrassing. Not only is it painfully obvious that she's miming the entire song, but she actually mimes the spoken bit at the beginning. It just looks...off. I heard she was sick that night and it's the reason she chose to lipsynch.

[@BlyssfulButterfly30]

You can't believe everything you read she sings with her own voice.Anyway she wasnt feeling well you could here it. Dolly is great no matter what.That was a good performance.How can you tell?listen to the american idol show and ones not to long ago youll see.Go Dolly!

[@BlyssfulButterfly30]

Ginger515...I didn't mean to offend you I was just saying.I understand what youre sayin and I dont want controversy.Whatever she does she is great that is the main thing. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.I dont want any problems.Dolly is great!

[@fiofunk]

who cares about her hair lol........suprised you're not resorting to talking about her silhouette...... you should be thinking of her great music and impact on the industry. Much love to dolly~ my grandpa absolutely digged her....as do i

[@peterketterer4687]

Dolly is dolly the perfect entertainer Jackie De Shannon would be proud first time seeing this

[@MichaelHeal99]

Billy ThunderKloud and the Chieftons recorded this song on Their; All Through the Night Album, also. WISC fans FAV-O-RITE! They do it with the INDIAN BEAT and is AWE-SOME! ! WISC. fan Thanks for a Time-Less song.

[@meboneme1]

SHE PRE-RECORDED the song the same day because she knew/thought she would be too sick later to sing it live. She could have lipsynched to the studio version if that's the case.We all know what DOLLY can do and that is SING LIVE!

[@aasprey]

I LOVE Dolly, am a huge fan! Just dont understand why she was miming?! U can see at the beginning when you hear her start talking, her lips dont move!! Such a shame !! Still love her tho, she can do no wrong!! :-)

[@princessjoots]

I think she is because at the start, she's lipsynching to the talking bit, and she's late coming in! But its just cute, and I think she was hoarse that night, that's why its pre recorded, bless her, I love her to BITS! Xxx

[@kansaimagic]

Damn I was doing the wrong thing by writing songs that I like. My site stunpals ( dotcom) should be refreshed and for the people. No more making fun of Christians and people that have imaginary friends.

[@Ginger515]

This was from 1992...apparently, even though you put the date the video is from, KZbin only posts the date you uploaded it...so I added the date in the description to avoid confusion. :)

[@leftfieldmind]

i never said she couldn t sing, what i said was she.lip sings quite often on shows...she rarely sings live on shows such as this and if u honestly can t tell then u aren t very musically inclined....

[@meboneme1]

Actually,she flew in to town sick and decided to lay down vocals BEFORE she got sicker. So, we FANS know that she did not lipsynch to the studio record. She recorded it earlier in the day,the same day.

[@saraalvarez7354]

Dolly just announced she is paying the tuition of her employees to go to college. She's got a big heart.

[@bambishiraeth318]

just because there's no love in your heart, doesn't mean there are none in the heart of others too. no t everyone is here to be a living symbol of hatred, jealousy and pettiness.
