The Tonight Show 1992

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

This is 29 years old, yet Dolly is so timeless, she deserves all that she has worked so hard for

[@macleadg]

A celebrity who appreciates their wealth and success, and keeps them in perspective. What a breath of fresh air.

[@slade2372]

This song has gotten me through some pretty rough times in my life. I remember the original that came out in 1977. Growing up in a rather abusive home this song was a great source of strength!

[@childcrone]

She is always a delight, and this is such a beautiful look for her!

[@jermar1979]

She lights up a room! ❤️

[@ednafenton7558]

I have always loved this song since it came out!

[@darrenmiller6927]

She's a bright light, a national treasure. And Tennessee should be proud!

[@coldwinter5710]

Burt Reynolds was one of the 1st people to tell her she was going to be a big movie star. He said she just giggled when he told her this. You can just hear the exchange, can't you?! They remained very good friends since working together in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. They were both fantastic in it! A perfectly cast movie.

[@lisacassar7040]

simply gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@teresapolson5728]

Such a BEAUTIFUL, women. With so much energy!!! Thank you for sharing...

[@mthivier]

It's probably just a coincidence, but on her first appearance on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny in 1977 (she'd appeared in earlier years with guest hosts), she sang "Light of a Clear Blue Morning", and then here, on her last appearance with Johnny before he retired, and she sang "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" again.

[@angelajoseph6709]

Mar Thivierge It's nice to know that Dolly is that thoughtful. I think she and Johnny had a mutual admiration society😃

[@deiradinn]

I would bet it wasn't considering how thoughtful Dolly is.

[@elmaware8749]

What a mighty fine band performance! Dolly is a great female performer w/o Porter💄💕👠

[@denisebledsoe8836]

Oh how I love this beautiful ,classy, talented woman!

[@lnl3237]

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island. A friend had only two more states to go and I was the only one who volunteered to go to Arkansas. Just got back yesterday. Needed a Dolly Day to detach from that wonderful place. Warm, witty and wonderful people like Dolly. Saw Dolly earlier today performing with her parents and many of her siblings. She just makes you feel like part of her family!

[@djdon60]

Wow! I, never, had heard the song, previous to this; that was stupendous! Then, Ms. Parton mentions one of my favourite movies and, I have a "thumbs up", for Dolly's 'bye, to Johnny.

[@djdon60]

@Dolly Parton : I'm delighted and, almost, speechless! I would, absolutely love to do that. How will we do so?

[@djdon60]

@Dolly PartonMy e-mail is [e-mail]. My cell number's [phone]. I am, so, looking forward to this!

[@jennifermcqueary639]

Just love watching her!

[@deiradinn]

She's a Tennessee treasure!

[@babyblue7130]

She’s a national treasure 😁

[@micheleterry7147]

Dolly I grew up listening to you. You are the best

[@Tatortot318]

Alot of us grew up with Johnny, right at 11:30 after the news, you had to get the Johnnys monolgue, now I live in TN from Michigan, not far from Dollywood...lol, who would ever think.

[@isabella.t_01]

That outfit is gorgeous on Dolly

[@juliefisher5377]

2021! Dolly National Treasure 😍

[@babyblue7130]

I love thats she’s just so energetic and joyful most of the time she clearly got the Holy Spirit runnin through her veins ❤️👑

[@dj2bklyn]

not Necessary

[@shakazulu3594]

She's hilarious!😄

[@rgjerde53]

I think this certainly could qualify as a "Rock Song" -- just one of many examples of why she should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@juliefisher5377]

Dolly has got to be one of the nicest, most modest people around! ❤ Very intelligent and is always making whoever she's talking to feel like the most important person in the room. 2021! Dolly is still making music and doing what she 💘loves!! There will never be another Dolly.!

[@deborahbreeden4394]

She did actually earn an honorary doctorate from the University of Tennessee, given all of her hard work and generosity over the years

[@teriw56]

Dolly is anointed, having church.

[@KianaLavoneNash]

Love this! My grandma loved her... Do you think you could upload the interview between Johnny Carson and Pam Grier? the dates are July 4, 1973 , July 10, 1973, August 20, 1973, February 11, 1975, October 10, 1977. Anyone of these dates would be highly appreciated. thank you ! :)

[@angelajoseph6709]

Kiana Queen Wow! I loved Pam Grier. She is a talented actress.

[@zefdin101]

I always knew Dolly was considered to be attractive or pretty or whatever … but she is seriously beautiful here.. inside and out.

[@rillettesdumains2425]

Dolly is the American Queen. I am French( we hate queens😅) but I would happily bow to her Majesty, Lady of the Smocky Mountains.

[@JimmyDoggy-b1c]

Indeed she is a one. Inspired Me to listen country Music

[@terrancerichard5986]

This song is indeed about Porter Wagoner and her finally breaking away from him and his controlling nature. Dolly went through 9 years of hell, but to this day loves Porter with a heart of forgiveness.

[@isabella.t_01]

I thought she was working on the show for 8 years or 7

[@paigepassion1033]

Dolly was only with Porter Wagoner for 7 years. She originally was under contract for 5 but agreed to stay for an additional 2 years. She has never referred to this period as being "hell" she has always shown gratitude to Porter for his help in starting her career. She did say that there were difficult times, and they fought creatively and personally. But this was because in the mindset of the 60's and 70's Nashville was the boys club. Dolly never wanted to be part of a duo act. She had always had the intention of being a solo act. So as any business relationship that work as close as they did personal feelings do get hurt when one says they want to leave. She indeed wrote I Will Always Love You as to tell him good bye but I appreciate everything you've done for me but I need to go. So I wouldn't say it was pure hell. And it certainly wasn't 9 years.

[@MrsBrit1]

Still have a working drive-in in my hometown.

[@sarahmoore2337]

I love too hear her sing

[@trenajorgensen4309]

My dad loved to watch dolly while my mom would steamin made lol

[@watztheuse]

WOW. Hello Tina Abner.

[@fbueller]

14:18 This was a really missed opportunity for DP to sing ‘I Will Always Love You’ to JC. Who let this happen? Seems like a ‘Tonight Show’ producer would have coordinates this.

[@mthivier]

I think she was about to release “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” as her next single, and so she opted to perform that, but you’re right, IWALY would have been appropriate. In the old days, musical guests did two songs, but by ‘92, they’d cut it to one. Seems they could have made an exception here, and let her sing IWALY to Johnny.

[@Patrick3183]

CD longbox package!!!

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

she's aces...

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

Today’s talk show hosts should emulate Carson’s style, stop being political (yeah, I’m talking to you Colbert & Kimmel) and focus on interviewing their guests.

[@lucinda2329]

❤ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤

[@deangray9552]

it’s not really important the parts of Dolly that aren’t real , but that the real parts are so lovely to her fans ( like me )

[@Davidlp70]

That was an awkward exit

[@elaineng2032]

The wrathful march individually pack because trombone technically imagine without a tedious glockenspiel. scary, spotless indonesia
