What an absolute legend.
So beautiful, love the song too!
I like how the blonde girl goes “Me? Noooo” in the group of redheads.
She has used her fame and platform for so much good, can’t help but love her!
I saw her on tour in the mid-90s. Her band was amazingly good.
“You red headed hussy!”
Savage.
Ahhhhhh, true class!!!!!!!!!!!
What a lady! Love it
Amazing woman
Forever iconic 🙌
Spillin the T at the Grand Ol Opry. That’s Dolly
42 years young…absolutely gorgeous!
This woman is an absolute treasure.
This woman… very special kind of breed. So unique
She was 42 here and just bangin. I love her😭
This seems to be the internet pattern this week:
Barbara Walters dies
People start watching old BW clips
People notice BW being unkind to Dolly Parton in one clip
Dolly Parton takes over internet (again)
I love Dolly! Special tribute to her in The Orville
She is truly a National treasure!!
This song is an absolute gut punch. Gets me right in the feels every time.
Jolene got me 🥰❤️
I wonder what happened to the original Jolene ? Imagine thinking you could compete with the icon that is Dolly Parton 😂
I call her my aunt Dolly, because I want her to be.
Boozing with this woman must have been a friggin’ trip man.
She naturally riffed entertainment like reciting the ABC’s. It’s always awesome seeing her pop up and I never get tired of it.
She’s been amazing throughout her career, but this is peak Dolly right here.
There’s someone out there who gets to say that Dolly Parton called them a hussy.
That outfit is such fire
all these Dolly posts in the last 2 days made me check if she passed away. Thank God she is alive and well.
She seems just effortless. Like very charismatic and supremely talented.
I never heard the part where she got into a scrap with Jolene! I’m sure she made that up to embellish, but I can definitely see Dolly kickin’ Jolene’s ass for trying to take her man!!
Love Dolly she’s a gem, I can listen to her talk all day long.
And the name Jolene comes for an 11 year old girl who wanted an autograph after the porter wagoner show and Dolly kept singing her name so that she wouldn’t forget it.
Growing up, my grandpa LOVED Dolly Parton and watched Hee Haw every week. My grandma got mad when she was on and left the room. I never understood why. Grandpa never took his off of the screen whenever she was on. It was confusing.
But then one day, I understood.
Love her laughter!
I love her laugh.
Being able to call one of your audience members a red-headed hussy and have her laugh it off.
That’s star power.
Tho other part of the story is she met a young fan with bright red hair who asked for an autograph. Dolly asked her name and she said Jolene. Dolly told her that’s the prettiest name she’d ever heard and was going to write a song about her.
This song follows the new formula for a hit song. Start with a catchy chorus, a 4 stanza vocal, back to chorus, repeat and keep it under 2:45 – she discovered it in the 70s. What a genius
When she and Willie Nelson pass, I declare a National Holiday.
If Jolene was hot enough to steal Dolly’s man I kinda want to see Jolene.
Just imagine you try and cheat on your girl, she catches you, beats the shit out of the girl you were trying to cheat with, beats the shit out of you, and then drops the hardest diss track of the century 😭😭 this woman was unreal
