Someone asked Dolly once how long it took to do her hair. She laughed and said, “I don’t really know. I’m not there.” ( Most of the time she wore wigs or partial wigs. ) She’s so talented and hilarious. Love her.

[@OK-hi5ym]

She's said in an interview recently that if she takes of her wig, wears more "conservative" aka plain clothes and minimal makeup she looks so unlike what we think of as "Dolly Parton" that she is able to go around mostly unrecognized. This is also why her husband is notoriously private, they can go out together and look like any other couple.

As a young child, I saw Dolly Parton sing this in my grandparent’s colour television. My grandmother started singing along and when it was over, we were all amazed! She had taught us about Scottish and Irish “cottage evening” songs as she called them. As much as we love Beyoncé, Dolly wrote and sings this too. Better than almost anyone else. ❤❤❤

[@mrs.g.9816]

Since I first heard Dolly sing this song on the radio, I've always felt that the minor key made her song sound like Irish "cottage singing". It made me think of a sad woman sitting by the window at sunset. I love the guitar accompanying Dolly! I was never beautiful, but by the grace of God, a man chose me to live his life with instead of a "Jolene" who had her eyes on him. My husband and I had a joyful marriage for 35 years before he passed.

In 1974 one of my neighbors asked me to help run a spotlight at a country western show. I was a rocking and rolling teenager and country western shows weren't high on my list of things to do on a Friday night but I needed the $20 they offered me. It was the Porter Wagoner Show and the stage crew met briefly with Porter before the show started. Porter was a task master and he pretty much rubbed me the wrong way but there was this beautiful, very friendly blond singer that I immediately fell in love with. Needless to say her name was Dolly. That night, to Porters dismay I kept my spotlight on Dolly. He had to crowd her on stage to stay in the spotlight. I was transfixed and mesmerized watching and listening to Dolly perform. What an Angel. After the show I managed to avoid bumping into Porter backstage but Dolly took the time to thank each of the stage crew. When she shook my hand I almost melted. What a Goddess. Beautiful, talented, kind and friendly. In the next couple of years Dolly Parton became a headliner and she lost Porter and the rest is history.

Completely timeless. I remember watching her on the Porter Wagner show as a child. I loved her then, love her now. She is timeless. 💜💜💜

Dolly Parton is really underrated as a vocalist and a songwriter I love her sm she’s so underrated!

[@lauralake3209]

Dolly has done so much good in the world, too, with all her charity work

[@latengocomoburro]

I have to be honest, I had never listened to any of Dolly Parton's songs and if I ever did I do not remember any. But I went to Gatlinburg and asked my car to "play some Dolly Parton's songs". This one was the first one that came out and me and my GF were laughing and couldn't believe how pathetic the lyrics were. But because of that now it got stuck into my head and now I like it. (first and only country song that I like)

If he was talking about her in his sleep that would have been the last he ever saw me again.

[@MrChoirDirector87]

What a dynamic song!!! The mere fact “Jolene” and “I will always love you” we’re both written in the same day?! Insane!!

[@benjikidd9739]

My Capricorn sister. We sing for our other Capricorn sister Betty White. Love you as always Dolly Parton :)

[@chadley25]

Her lyrics are always genius -- not just in this song, but everything from "Smoky Mountain Memories" to "9 to 5" and so many more. She is a superbly talented songwriter -- among her many, many other gifts. Just a national treasure, as everyone else seems to say! Can't disagree.

She is breathtaking and such a nice person.

Damn I’m 20 and I usually dont care for this kinda music but this is a bop

[@1906780]

Dolly does a duet of this with Miley Cyrus (her god daughter) that is really good! Look for it on YT.

[@KAT-ew9wz]

This is a classic for a reason, regardless of whether it's what you normally go for

[@G6JPG]

Some pieces transcend their genre; I think this and Tammy's SBYM are the ones for this genre (which I'm not a fan of on the whole). I'm not keen on opera either, but there are some pieces that are great (even sung ones).

[@FennyFxMeuCanal]

Dolly is a legend❤

[@lindseyowen5968]

Wow. Dolly is and has always been amazing. The reason I enjoy country music so much is because it tells a story graphically, gets the feelings behind it across so clearly yet so simply. It’s like she’s having a conversation. Wow.

Has a anyone seen her without a wig? I love Dolly so much! She's so sweet and talented. I hate to imagine a world without her

[@arckocsog253]

There are some photos if you Google. She had a blonde hair, a bit thin

[@woweric]

her real hair was dirty blonde and short

[@sixfootben4892]

I heard her say that her and her mom were in town and dolly saw a girl and thought she was so pretty and her mom said that girl is trashy. So dolly wanted to be trashy too. And I agree that I don't want a world without her. She's so sweet and nice. I've never met her but I'm sure she wouldn't disappoint. That's America's sweetheart

[@JKL_04]

My first real memory of knowing who Dolly Parton was from the movie 9 to 5, and then Steel Magnolias. She’s an amazing actress and singer! Beautiful.

[@lisalee4349]

LOVE this original footage. The fashion and glamour of this era will never be matched -though many will try. Miss Dolly is a timeless class act. :)

[@adamfriend1040]

Hello.. hope you are fine and staying safe over there??

[@Badhead1970]

No half naked dancers gyrating in the background. No dance routines. No twerking. No miming. Just a great singer and a truly great song... and that's all you need. Perfect.

[@SureYoureRight]

Why do you have to throw shade at a sector of artists in order to uplift this artist? I can name a dozen mainstream artists right now that don’t display what you’ve described.

[@leannewilson1080]

I was only 2 years old when this song came out! I am 51 years old now and loved it!

[@laufeydoobee]

her voice is so pretty. 70s songs are really good.
