Dolly Parton

Is it just me or do Dolly Parton's beautiful soft love songs nearly bring anyone else tears? She has such a beautiful sad quiver in her voice. I'm listening to "But You Know that I Love You" right now. Sigh...

I am so into Dolly. Dolly rules. She is on tour this summer/fall and I am so there. Hopefully LA and Vegas. Her voice hasn't changed a bit, and her show is so much fun. On top of that, she just keeps on cranking out records at the rate of about 1 a year. Pity about all the surgery, she has gone a little too far on the mouth, but I love her anyway. Her "Stairway To Heaven" is pure eargasm material.

Yeah, she's for sure had too much work done!

I wish I could swing seeing her on her tour! She's playing Toronto. I'd love to see her. Vegas would be great! But I can't do it. I have to save my pennies now. Sigh...

"ooh I love you..."

I love Dolly. Heartbreaker and Here You Come Again always get me. If any of you get a chance to see or hear the Crossroads special with Dolly and Melissa Ethridge, I highly recommend it. Dolly tears up Bring Me Some Water.

OMG - LOVE LOVE LOVE Dolly -have since I was six - so though I say the Beatles are my first love - I should probably say that she actually is. In like 1986 I saw Smoky Mountain Christmas and that was it - I've loved her ever since

My Mom used to go to the same church as Dolly before she was famous. They weren't close friends, just acquaintances. But I remember growing up in Knoxville, TN, seeing her commercials for grocery stores (her first benefactor), and the first Dolly variety show on Saturday afternoons.

I've also been to Dollywood, and if you haven't been - GO!!!!

The song that always gets me is on the Dolly in London show ... oh crap ... pothole ... something like "Down From Dover"? AND, I just got the new Scissor Sisters DVD, and they play "Baby I'm Burnin' " to warm up the crowd. And you've never seen queens freak out like that British crowd does dancing to some Dolly disco...

(singing loudly)

TWO DOORS DOWN
They're laughing and drinkin
And having a parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty...

Sorry - I know this is the "sad Dolly song" thread, but I needed a pick-me-up after today's sad news...

You've heard the song she did with Norah Jones, right?

"Gonna creep on in..."

And my best friend recently found an old bootleg of Dolly singing "Harper Valley PTA" that's a HOOT.

Of course I have that Norah Jones duet.
The Harper Valley PTA thing sounds like a riot.

Dolly is great! I have her "Trio" cds... also a couple of solo cds. I've never seen her in concert but would LOVE to someday.

I second that. I was watching really late night TV a month or so back, and a bad Dolly Parton movie came on. I watched, and every time she started singing, it brought tears to my eyes.
But I've always loved her voice.

I love Dolly and her sweet voice. I also love her movies.

Insider is killing me right now. I have a lump in my throat! If a sad Dolly Parton song comes on next, I think it will be the death of me!
