First Time Hearing | Dolly Parton - Jolene Reaction

[@Raven5150]

Dolly Parton is Tennessee's most valued treasure, all high school graduates of Sevierville she pays for a scholarship for them, she's given away millions of books for children, no one should ever insult our Dolly

[@kennethcook9406]

Dolly Parton is a legend. She supports and donates to charities ranging from the Humane Society to LGBTQ+ support organisations.

Dolly is the GOAT. Musician. Champion of Literacy. Built an entire amusement park in her hometown.

[@geniej9093]

Dolly sure knows how to work her audience. Love it and her

[@findingmyrootswoolmarketms]

I recently read her autobiography and she stated that this song wasn’t really based on a true story. Made me sad and glad at the same time.

[@jewls9697]

It's based on a true story that she changes everytime she tells it. She was a little flirty with him & he did pay no attention to her. That was what she has told for years & now, even in this one, she was was laying it on pretty thick! lol

[@sandracox4341]

@@jewls9697 but the basic story has stayed the same. She has always said it was a red headed woman working at the bank.

[@winstonsmith8441]

She grew up dirt-poor in the mountains of east Tennessee. You don't mess with those people without paying a price.

[@seanjohnson386]

If you liked Dolly's voice on it's own, you'll LOVE to hear her in the trio with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.

[@alexhaas9653]

Fantastic song. Probably my favourite Dolly Parton song. To think she wrote this AND "I will Always Love You" on the same day! And even though not a fan of Miley Cyrus' usual stuff, her version is really great and that music style would really fit her, more of that please. Also not a coincidence that Dolly is her godmother.

[@shawnmazyn7090]

Dolly is a wonderful person and artist. She is very intelligent and a true master at song writing and vocals.

[@TheMultiForge]

One of the most iconic love songs "I will always love you" that most know is sung by Tina Turner, was originally a Dolly Parton song

[@wilfriedmatusch9293]

Love everything about Dolly thanks for your reaction her vocals are consistently phenomenal cheers from Aus 🇦🇺🦘

[@eddietucker7005]

No, this being a true story is just a country & western tall tale she spun. Jolene was actually a waitress at a restaurant they were eating at. Dolly saw her name tag and it said “Jolene”. Dolly had never heard that name before and told her, “I want to use your name in a song.” What people don’t seem to mention about Dolly’s performances is that she is not just singing. She switches back and forth from singing to talking to you, telling you her story. This version of Jolene is a perfect example of that. Go back and watch it. Notice when she is singing and when she is communicating with you. That’s, to me, her most mesmerizing feature. We’re having a conversation and I am caught up in her story.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Dolly is tantamount Tennessee treasure

[@paulvincent6797]

Still the best version of this song. The original guitar line was never replicated properly by other artists.

[@quinjesuis9187]

Beautiful ❤️‍🔥 love your reaction, Dolly is something special ❤️

[@nberrypatch02]

Dolly is my 2nd favorite artist, after Patsy Cline. Dolly has composed over 5000 songs to date & she's still at it. She is currently working on her first rock album, more on that in a minute.... Even though Dolly is considered a country artist, she has had several cross over songs to rank high on Pop music charts. She has made appearances in several movies, TV shows, etc. over the years. As I said, she's had many cross over songs that made it onto music charts and featured in movies, some of which Dolly starred in herself. One of her first films is called 9 to 5 (it's actually very funny, you should check it out). The movie didn't have a main theme song, so Dolly went in her trailer between filming scenes and wrote "9 to 5", which is still a banger today. I've seen several KZbinrs react to it & they absolutely love it as it is still very relevant today. 😊 Some of Dolly's big hits besides Jolene are: Joshua (her first hit), Coat of many colors, I will always love you (yes, the same one that Whitney Houston covered in 1992), Here you come again, Two doors down, The Bargain store, Islands in the stream (duet with Kenny Rogers & written by The Bee Gees), and my #1 favorite since I was a kid, "Me and little Andy." Break out a box of Kleenex for that one. Recently, Dolly was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dolly was very humbled by that but tried to decline because she always thought of herself as a country artist. They went ahead with the induction ceremony. So she decided to record her first rock album by teaming up with other music legends such as Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, Debbie Harry, & Steve Perry to name a few...

[@Sharonmarshall66]

Dolly is a LIVING GODDESS.

[@bobunger5]

100% Accapela Home Free A man of constant sorrow. AMAZING ! I WAS SHOCKED

[@lindabell6638]

Thanks for posting your reaction/comments to this song!! I love Dolly so much and this is my favorite Dolly song! She is one-of-a-kind, beautiful inside and out, a fantastic entertainer!! 🥰

[@tammybennett6897]

Dolly is very funny and she has a beautiful voice not to mention she is a great song writer. Great Reaction MrLBoyd.

[@soundofnellody262]

There is a nice response-song from Jolene.. sung by Iluka.. you guys who watch this vid should check out that one also (Iluka, Jolene, from Jolene's perspective)

[@jewls9697]

This is not the true story!! She has told so many versions of this story! She said the bank teller was just a little flirty but her husband didn't pay the lady any attention! She has a whole different reason for the name Jolene! And it came from a little girl named Jolene who had the Auburn hair & eyes of green & Dolly asked her name she said Jolene & Dolly said that's beautiful! Dolly said watch for it bcuz If I ever do a song called Jolene it'll be about you!! I watch all the interviews & Documentaries!! But it's one that almost everyone loves!! Dolly changes her stories a lot of times just to make it funny! Still Got to Love her!! ❤

[@kimking6036]

A group called White Chapel updated this song and Dolly said she absolutely loves it. You should hear some of Dolly's stories. Like the bear who drank coke or the elderly man who sat down at her and her husband's table 😂

[@WendyJoJohnston]

I think that the next song of hers you should listen to is "Shine.". It's a bit different, a cross between bluegrass and country with a touch of gospel, emphasis on the bluegrass. She has a bunch of guest artists playing with her, including a band I've not seen you cover, Nicklecreek. Begin that journey with the song "The Lighthouse's Tale" and "Reasons Why." I always enjoy another dance with Jolene, thank you for revisiting Dolly!

[@BoJangles42]

Dolly is a fucking G. And extremely smart and talented and good-hearted.

[@angelamiller6275]

Now, you need to listen to Chapel Hart's response song, which by the way, Dolly absolutely Loved, called "You Can Have Him, Jolene".

[@sharonpate5481]

Check out Trio and Trio ll. They are Dolly, EmmyLou and Linda Ronstadt. I recommend “High Sierra” but every track on both albums is awesome. Their harmonies are to die for 👵🏼💜☮️

[@rhondahammons35]

I know this was reacted to a year ago, but actually I believe she’s explained she wrote the song as a joke between her and her husband.

[@Templarofsteel88]

I would love to see your reaction to Sabaton - En livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live Scandinavium Gothenburg. It is the Swedish version of the song (the Carolus Rex album that the song is from is about a part of Swedish history that I called the era of great power, stormaktstiden in Swedish) it is the Swedish version of the song so be sure that the subtitles are on, I was at the show and all I can say is that you won't regret it.

[@nberrypatch02]

Tammy Wynette: "Stand by your man" 😁 Dolly Parton: "Jolene", please don't take my man 😢 Loretta Lynn: Back off or else you'll get what's coming next... 😡 "You aint woman enough" and "Fist City" 🤣 This isn't a true story but rather it's an amalgamation of several incidents - the times when other women tried to tempt & seduce Carl, which he always joked about with Dolly. I believe she got the name Jolene from a young fan she had met after one of her shows. Dolly said that the name was so pretty that she might use it in a song, or something like that. Dolly & Carl have a strong faithful marriage without any infidelity or scandals for 56 years & counting...

[@katarinafiebelkorn8171]

Please react to I will always love you by Dolly Parton she wrote the song and performed the song and she allowed Whitney Houston to use her song.

[@Kari5274]

She won a Grammy for this when she sang it with pentatonix.

[@jaclynsmith916]

Check out her version of this song with Pentatonix. And when you're done with that, check out You Can Have Him Jolene by Chapel Hart. A twist on this classic

[@MamaBe1963]

Loretta Lynn didn't beg. Instead she sang FIST CITY! You need to listen. 😅

[@zahir12344]

You've gotta check out The White Stripes cover of this song. It's fucking stunning. The way Jack White sings it gives it that super emotional feel.

[@KmE1012]

I came to say this but certainly glad you beat me to it! 🤘 Jack's cover seriously hits the soul.

[@vtjbproductions]

Dope !

[@eddietucker7005]

While you’re on the Dolly Express, I strongly suggest that you listen to her rendition of “Hard Candy Christmas” from the movie soundtrack of “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”. When your life is forced to be changed, what will you do next? That’s the question this song asks and again… she’s having a heart to heart with you.

[@HA-wt7zl]

I’d like to see a reaction to jimmie allen or josh turner’s music. They both have interesting voices

[@erikduggins228]

A while back she applied for a federal grant to help farmers around Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The government denied her request saying that grant was for people who were flat busted. 🤣

[@shvl-hd5459]

Hi .. you should check out her song with George Jones , Blues Man .

[@GaryTaylor-vy1lh]

It's hard to compete if you're not there

[@jewls9697]

It's only partly true. He wasn't hitting on the teller or she would of beat him. She's changed that bank teller story at least 5 interviews!! Even this one, is another version of one of the Jolene stories! 😂 Love Dolly!

[@michellejackson6679]

Don't try to take Dolly's man. Carl Dean and Dolly have been married 57 years... love it

[@klb9142]

Please react to her song Me And Little Andy.

[@Aaryq]

You have to react to the White Stripes version of this song

[@soozkoozhooz5902]

Alot of men don't really understand when a woman has given her whole self to a man, just to have another woman come along and try to snatch him. Particularly when you have children at home (which by the way Dolly did not have kids 😁😁).

[@MommaBird52]

Check out You Can Have Him Jolene by Chapel Hart.

[@ThatRealEstatePhotographer]

you need to react to miley cirus version of this song.

[@sisisteddybear7965]

A good song I think you should react to is “it’s a jungle out there” by Randy Newman

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥😍

[@krisolsen9370]

can you react to Split Profits - Ain't Amused ?

[@nancyandrews8945]

Hi ok sorry but can I just make a quick comment could you react to ANGELICA HALE at 12yr about to turn 13yr old in a concert this is the only performance that has been released so please react to the professional ANGELICA HALE doing (Gloria Estefan) REACH

[@nancyandrews8945]

Hi sorry but I'm new at this so don't get upset could I ask if you could do a reaction..its been awhile since you reacted so here is ANGELICA HALE 13yr old doing (OLIVIA RODRIGO) DRIVERS LICENSE

[@scottishmisfit]

my favorite version of the song is done by the White Stripes. for me the way Dolly sing's the song, you know you kept her man. the way Jack White sings it, you think Dolly lost her man

[@Aaryq]

The White Stripes version is fire.

[@Taterhole]

Dolly Parton is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I seriously need to know what Jolene brought to the table.
