“The list below merely touches on the incredible body of work which Dolly Parton has created.”
“Aaron/Redferns/Getty Images “Dumb Blonde,” her very first hit from her Hello, I’m Dolly album, was a clever Curly Putman tune.”
“‘Your Ole Handy Man’ Image Credit: Richard E.”
“2 country single nevertheless makes no overt reference to a specific deity.”
“Perhaps the most surprising element of the LP that shares the mournful song’s title is the appearance of Parton’s famously reticent husband, Carl Dean, in the background of the cover photo.”
“‘Appalachian Memories’ Image Credit: Larry Hulst/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images When Southerners headed north to seek employment, Parton’s father was among them.”
“Parton’s paean to wanderlust is merely one rare, colorful beauty among its pure-country garden of earthly – and otherworldly – delights.”
“‘It’s All Wrong, But It’s Alright’ Image Credit: Trae Patton/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal/.Getty Images While Parton scaled the pop chart with “Two Doors Down,” country stations played this, the single’s decidedly forthright B-side.”
“In the 43 years since, versions of the Grammy-winning tune have anchored a Broadway musical and a 2022 documentary, Still Working 9 to 5 .”
“Had it been the only song she’d ever written, the expression of overwhelming pride and crushing anguish (penned on the back of a dry-cleaning receipt for one of Porter Wagoner’s suits) would have secured her indelible legacy.”
“The genuinely moving ballad finally persuaded Wagoner to grant Parton the freedom to pursue her solo career.”
“‘Eagle When She Flies’ Image Credit: Paul DrinkwaterNBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images A favorite subject of Parton’s, the majestic eagle is contrasted with the sparrow in this glorious ballad that served as the title cut of Dolly’s 1991 LP.”
“The two women prevailed and Harris’ tender version became a major hit.”
“In addition to the LP’s now-iconic title track, the highlight is this mournful meditation on a soured love affair and an unborn child, capped off by a cleverly ambiguous, gasp-inducing finale.”
“With unambiguous come-on lines (“Can I use you for a while”) that set the scene for a close, no-strings encounter, Parton weaves a tale that’s as honest as it is heartbreaking.”
“‘Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark,’ with Porter Wagoner Image Credit: Chris Walter/WireImage/Getty Images Of the dozens of duets Dolly and her mentor/early duet partner Porter Wagoner released, this was a fan favorite.”
“A gospel-infused 1982 solo rendition was followed by 1994’s Trio recording.”
“Written by Carole Bayer Sager and David Wolfert, it remains one of Parton’s most affecting vocal performances.”
