Dolly Parton speaks:

@DollyParton:
I do not sit in the seat of judgment... I love people for who they are. We're all God's children!

Loves me some Dolly!

[kydo]

1. I love her

this song blew my mind, I would never thought it could be done like this. I love the original but this is a great cover.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

19. Is that her idea of sensible walking shoes???

She's a one off that's for sure!!

[Erose999]

2. I read somewhere that she's Miley Cyrus' godmother. Is that true?

[kydo]

4. I do believe that is true

[Are_grits_groceries]

8. Yes

She will never say anything publicly, but I'll bet Dolly is keeping an eye on her. She may be the only person Miley trusts or will listen to.

[spanone]

3. k&r...love her

[xchrom]

5. ...

[Are_grits_groceries]

10. Alison Krauss sings like an angel. nt

[kestrel91316]

13. She sure does. She's more bluegrass to Dolly''s country, but she's her heir for sure.

[iamthebandfanman]

23. Ugh.

Yeah... I'm a Tennessee girl - born about 40 minutes from where Dolly was, so I follow her, even if I'm not particularly a country fan. She's awesome.

16. Dolly is an angel...

I grew up about 15 miles on the other side of Cumberland Gap and I used to stay overnight at my Grandma's house because she had a TV and I knew that Dolly would come on the Cas Walker Show real early in the morning and she would sing behind her uncles, the Brewster Brothers. I was about 10 or 12 years old.

Of course, we could only pick up one channel, WATE-TV, out of Knoxville. I would get chills when she sang. I knew she was special.

[Boomerproud]

7. Thank you Dolly.

This is why you are loved.

[DonRedwood]

9. When DOlly Speaks, I listen

:0) A National Treasure, That One.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. I'm not a country music fan, but I do love Dolly. She's quite a lady.

[kestrel91316]

12. If all "christians" were as true to their faith as this woman, I could work up some respect for them

[DeSwiss]

14. They don't make 'em better than Dolly.

Dolly Parton has donated over 40,000,000 books to children worldwide. It’s a little known fact that Dolly Parton has launched a charity targeted towards small children. The charity is called ‘Imagination Library’, and has changed the lives of children worldwide. Imagination Library donates age appropriate books to children under the age of 5 to help them improve literacy skills, and get them excited about reading. Since the charity launched in 1996, literacy scores for young children in the areas that Dolly Parton has donated books have actually gone up significantly. The books are donated to 1600 communities, to around 700,000 children each and every month. Dolly Parton says this charity is important for the world to have because she says it makes books readily available for children who can not necessarily afford them, and gets them to read on a regular basis.

18. thank you for posting this--have always known she is one amazing human being-- but this--wow

[Fawke Em]

35. Both my kids got them until they were enrolled in school.

I have so many books for the kids... that we had to buy extra bookshelves.

If you don't love Dolly, don't come sit with me (nod to "Steel Magnolias&quot

[lpbk2713]

15. She's not just trying to go along with the hip crowd.

She's always been like that.

Dolly's real people.

[Skittles]

17. Love ya Dolly

not a country music fan but have long loved Ms. Parton

[coldmountain]

20. Dolly and Miley singing together

[Skittles]

22. that's a great duo

can you believe that is the first time I have ever heard Miley sing?

[Ellipsis]

25. The girls got chops... heres an non top 40, non MTV you-tube of her.

[Rebellious Republican]

27. This one always gets to me....

[Are_grits_groceries]

28. She has talent.

First it was subsumed in Tweener music. Now she's rebelling. Duh! Miley is just 20 with megamoney. It's not like she is the only one ever to make shocking and/or questionable decisions.
Madonna wasn't exactly a shrinking violet.
I'm not saying she is on par with Madonna.

Hopefully, she will become someone who is not mostly a caricature trying to shock. Maybe we will see Destiny Hope "Miley" Cyrus at some point and find out who is beneath all that schtick. It may be closer to Dolly in some ways than we think. She certainly is a supporter of LGBT rights.

29. Check out this Miley song she did for Amnesty International

30. She could definitely be a country singer.

She needs to move to Nashville and turn it upside down. That would be the biggest tremor since Tanya Tucker let loose.
She'd make Taylor Swift look superficial.

[coldmountain]

31. Miley will go country someday. Check out Sarah Jarosz the real antithesis of Taylor Swift

Hank Williams couldn't write a better love song than this

[BOG PERSON]

21. she seems like a nice person

n.t

[iamthebandfanman]

24. i dont care much

[Rebellious Republican]

26. She comes from a very poor background, she has never forgotten that either. Love you Dolly!

[4_TN_TITANS]

32. Must. K&R. For Dolly!

Words can't describe the caliber of this mighty fine lady.

[Stinky The Clown]

33. What a truly great human being.

[a kennedy]

34. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.......
