Dolly is THE DIRT!
Her autobiography was a blast to read and she seems like SUCH a darling person...I would just love to sit and chat with her for hours.
I told my BF that we should go to Dollywood next year...I think it would be a blast!

If her tour stops in Texas, I am there...

Grew up listening to her and love her lots. She's my favorite female country singer. My favorite song is Here You Come Again. It's very eerie how similar she and Stevie are.

Love Dolly. Used to watch her old variety show with my mom. Her last few bluegrass albums have been really amazing, amongst the best records she's ever put out. The fact that she comes across as such a warm and gentle soul also makes her so insanely lovable.

And Smokey Mountain Christmas? I watch it every year. Love love love it.

I have a bunch of them on video, they were fab!
She used to have a Q&A bit with the audience and she always came across as really witty and lovely.

One of my all-time favorite country duets EVER is the Porter Wagoner/Dolly Parton duet "Just Someone I Used To Know." It's quite possibly the perfect song.

Are ya'll talking about the short-lived one that was on ABC in the early '90s (or late '80s), or the first one that was a syndicated show in the '70s (that was more in the vein of Hee Haw)?

I've never seen any of those on video anywhere...

She's great. I'll never forget that to hear her voice singing I will always love you gave me 1 minute and a half of bliss in the middle of the utter torture that was watching The Bodyguard.

I love these albums and speaking of slow, sad Dolly songs what about her update of Down to Dover on Little Sparrow ?The subject matter may be dated but the performance gives me chills.

I was flipping channels one night and came across some biography on her or something. Anyways, they played a performance on some awards show of her singing "He's Alive"....when the song was over, I was in tears. AMAZING performance, I got chills and tears just sitting here typing this.

My mom and I used to watch her show in the 90's...Dolly.
