Never apologize for listening to Dolly Parton. She's a treasure.

It's not just a song. It's a true story of her life.

My mother was also a barefoot dirt poor child from Appalachia. She’d cry when she heard this song thinking of her mother who struggled to keep clothes on her 9 children’s backs. Now I cry thinking of her.

I love that you have discovered Dolly. She is our national treasure. Did you know she donated a million dollars to Vanderbilt University when they were working on a vaccine for Covid? When a wildfire swept through areas of her beloved Smokey Mountains and peoples homes were destroyed, she gave everyone that lost their home $2,000 a month until they were able to get back on their feet. Because her daddy never learned to read, Dolly was convinced that the earlier a child was exposed to books, the better students they would become. So she started a program that would give all preschool kids a free book every month, until they started school. It still continues to this day. When the war in Ukraine began and children were in makeshift shelters, Dolly sent millions of books to them almost immediately. There are many more stories like this about Dolly, so I’m glad you found her. My favorite Dolly song is “Here You Come Again “.

This coat is on display at her museum at Dollywood.

This is Dolly's most autobiographical song, and her favorite that she wrote. I've been a Dolly fan for almost 40 years and she is an amazing human and artist.

I not really a country music person, but I find Dolly one of the sweetest, most genuine people on a stage. Beautiful human being.

Everyone loves Dolly and if they don't, they just haven't been introduced yet!

Dolly Parton may be the only person who, once you've learned of her extreme poverty as a child and path to fame, leaves you wanting to experience all of it. One piece of wisdom from her: "don't confuse dreaming and wishing." then, my paraphrase: wishing doesn't move you forward; dreaming lights your inner fire.

Dolly is amazing, grew up dirt poor and changing lives, she started a book for kids, sending kids books for free

When I was a small girl my mama played this song on he guitar and I and my sister sang it to my dad. He cried. Yes he was drunk. I hear it in my head all the time. Dolly is a goddess. I will always love her.

I learned a lot as a little girl when I heard this song. A deep meaningful lesson to pride & real meaning in life & about not feeling ashamed of what I didn't have

Dolly Wood, Gatlinburg TN was started by Dolly Parton to help the people of the Appalachian Mountains to have work to come into that area

She sends books to my granddaughters every month. She’s an amazing human being❤️

Dolly Parton is the definition of "From rags to riches". She is one of the very few who remember where they come from. She is truly a treasure

The story of Dolly's life. She grew up in severe poverty and she has given back so much of her tome and money to help the poor.

I think Dolly resonates with everyone because her songs are so relatable. She came from a very poor and humble background and much of her music is personal experience. She has truly built her career from scratch, clawed and fought her way to the top! She is an inspiration!!

Dolly isn’t my favorite singer BUT she is my favorite songwriter and human being. She’s literally one of the most generous person you’ll ever know about, and that’s just the stuff we’re aware of. She invested the royalties from Whitney’s cover of I Will Always Love You into black business neighborhoods in Nashville. She wrote this on the back of a dry cleaning bill while riding in her tour bus.

Dolly is a genius. She has written literally thousands of songs. Brilliant

I asked for this because it is about her life as a child. This happened to Dolly and so many of her earlier songs are about her life growing up in the Tennessee Mountains. You are allowed to like Dolly because she would like you. She is a beautiful soul with a very big heart. She just keeps on giving. She has been married to Carl for 53 years. I only saw him once last year because he is a farmer so he will not go out. He took Dolly out for their last wedding Anniversary. Dolly always says the Good Lord didn’t let her have children because she already had too many in the world to care for, she does. I love her singing Apple Jack too. Thank you.

Dolly Parton is not only an amazing songwriter and singer, but such a KIND person.She was raised destitute...worked like a champ...and now gives to her community.

She and Keanu are the only two superstars who you will NEVER hear a bad word spoken. She is amazing, as a human and an artist.

She's so amazing. Every child born in Tennessee gets a book from her free at birth and a new one at intervals until age 5. This is a tribute to her father who was illiterate. She also donated 1 million dollars towards research for the covid vaccine. Plus, She's beautiful inside and out and talented.

This song is a true story from Dolly's childhood. Thanks for reacting to it! Dolly has said it's her favorite of all the songs she's written. Here's a quote from an interview she did on it: "it's more than a song. It's an attitude. It's a philosophy. It speaks about family. It's anti-bullying. It just covers so many things." There was a children's book made based on the song and it's used in schools as part of the anti-bullying curriculum. About the book, Dolly said, "it lets people know that we're supposed to love one another for who and what we are, and to celebrate our differences, because we shouldn't all be the same."

This is a true story. Dolly grew up very poor. Look into her life story some time. When I was 9 years old I entered a talent show at school and I sang this song. My mom took an old button down shirt of my dad's and sewed different colorful patches of cloth to it for me to wear. I could imagine her feelings because I felt so proud to wear that "coat" my mom made me for my performance, but also got made fun of for it because it was homemade and looked raggedy, even though that was the point. I'm 44 years old and I still have that "coat"!

Dolly Parton is an international treasure!!!

I'm an Aboriginal man from Australia and I love Dolly Parton, all Aboriginal people love Dolly 💯❤️

She wrote the song I will always love you that Whitney Houston sang.

Everyone should listen to Dolly. Best human ever. My mama strummed the guitar and we sand to my dad. He was drunnk and he cried.Dollynis a goddess and a love of my life.

I hope you check out Loretta Lynn, another country music Queen. "Coal Miner's Daughter" is about her childhood.

❤ she is not only a singer she has her library for children 5 and under she gives books too. She helps the less fortunate glad I had the chance to meet her God Bless you Dolly love her new album Rockstar

Dolly was born in a family from the Appellation mountains, one of 9 kids. She was dirt poor, made it rich with her talent and built a town there called Dollywood. It helps bring jobs to the people there and she supports her family too. A beauty inside and out.

She still has that coat. It's at Dolly World in her museum.

This metal head adores Dolly. Her voice is incredible, and her sweetness unmatched. Sometimes you need to have your soul cleansed.

Always my favorite female artist. Her writing is only exceeded by her awesome voice!!!❤

Dolly is an angel and never disrespect that beautiful woman.

My wife got me into Dolly. She so much more than a great musical artist, she’s a humanitarian, and philanthropist that humanity is lucky to have. We signed my daughter up for her book giveaway, and once a month for the first three years of her life, she will get a free age appropriate book from Dolly. What an excellent human she is.

This is a true story. When my Mom heard this song she made us coats from scraps of clothes she made us. I was embarrassed to wear it. I was sure we'd be made fun of. The opposite happened. My Mom got calls from Mom offering to pay her make a coat for their girls. My Mom politely said no. She only made them for us. I was so ashamed that I had ever been embarrassed ☮️

Why am I crying 😭😭😭😭. I love Dolly Parton she is a pur class

You sure are gonna have fun on this journey with Dolly Parton and you will be very surprised when you find many songs that you already know and love were actually written by her. Have fun and enjoy each one.

The story is true...and another girl that everyone made fun actually stood up for Dolly!! They are still best friends today!!🥰

Dolly wrote this for Porter Wagoner, her longtime performing partner. This WAS heartfelt, because they were splitting up their act.

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers - Islands in the stream- just wonderful!

This is the kind of music I grew up hearing all the time. It's such a great joy to witness someone hear it for the first time and to be blessed by it. Great video!

I love Doly Parton it's impossible not to she has touched the hearts of millions with her voice and her songs and her pure kindness

Dolly Parton, is a very down to earth. She is true to her songs. I am very proud of you and glad that you enjoy her. When I am a lone and her her songs, I think of my parents. I get tears Everytime, I hear sing.

Her speaking voice is lovely too, amazing woman.

She is the most respected person in country music glad i had the chance to meet her ❤❤

I was born in Cuba. I didn't grow up listening to country, but this song introduced me to the genre. I cry every time I hear that song, thinking about my mom and all the sacrifices she made for me and my brother. I'm glad that you reacted to it and that you loved it ❤️

Dolly is one of the best song writers that has ever lived!

Yep, you went there! Good on you! Brave man! She's an angel-legend, and she's still with us! Thank you.

Love Dolly. She is an icon in the music industry!

Yeahhh. Welcome to the Dolly Parton fan club. Amazingly talented woman.

I'm so glad you listened to this song to introduce you to Dolly. She has written more than 3,000 songs; many for other well known artists. I love the message of this song. It was made into a movie. The young actress who played Dolly was fabulous.

I grew up in Sevier County, TN, and worked at Dollywood in high school and college. Every student in the the 3 Sevier Co high schools was partnered with a buddy Freshman year, and if you both graduated, you got a $500 scholarship. Every child in the County gets a hardback book from birth to 5 thru Imagination Express, as well. She has given so much back to her home, it is amazing.

Don’t tell my friends?? Dolly is a National Treasure. The Queen of Cool!

Dolly Parton is such a a beautiful songwriter, this is actually a Tru story of her childhood ❤

Dolly is a true LEGEND!!!!!!

This was the song that got me through my first few years of school. Knowing that my parents'love meant more than the bullies' taunts kept me sane. God bless Dolly Parton!

Polo- they made a fantastic movie about her childhood and it’s called “ Coat of Many Colors” too! She really grew up in a two room cabin with 8 siblings in Tennessee. Her Dad was a sharecropper.

You picked a great favorite country artist! I also don't care much for country but Dolly's authenticity shines through & you can't help but love her! A true legend.

Dolly Parton is a Queen of Country music ❤

Dolly is Dolly and we love her. I'm not at all a fan of country music but some artists just transcend genres and touch everyone's soul. Dolly is Dolly and she can do no wrong in my eyes.

Dolly is an amazing person. She's a National Treasure for sure.

she made a book based on this song that i loved as a kid. in fact, dolly has a book gifting program that provides children with free books. she is genuinely an amazing person.

National treasure. Super talented and smart as hell.

This was my intro to Dolly when I was a little girl. She is exceptional in so many genres of music

It used to be a well-known joke/ saying that "everyone is a little county when Dolly Parton comes on the radio" because even people who are not fans of country music still liked her songs and admired her Talent. If you go to Dolly's theme park, she actually still has that coat her mom made for her and it is on display there

I love Dolly! She is a true altruistic woman who is a Christian that follows the true meaning of what a Christian should do. And the sweet voice and her giggle always makes smile!

I can't listen to this song without bursting into tears. Never fails. Grew up dirt poor too, 😢 unfortunately without the loving Mama. So this one always gets me blubbering by the end. 😉✌🏽🧓🏽

Dolly Parton is not only talented, but one of the nicest most real people in the world.

Something else wonderful about Dolly that I haven't seen in the comments. She has literally given away millions of books to children. Any child under the age of 5 can receive a book from her on a monthly basis with no requirements other than age.

My wife, Dian C. DeChaine Pittam, Has loved Dolly Parton all her performing years. We went to Nashville Back in the 1980's to see her at Opry Land, But she was a No Show. We drove all the way from California jst to see Dolly Perform. My wife has sang this song many times in different Church's. Her sister promised to take her to Dolly Land, But instead moved away leaving my wife to be loanl with Alzhiemers Dementia. But stuill yet my wife sings the song with Heart and feelings. As a Quilter a few years ago, We had planned to come to Tennessee again, But out Motor Home burnt on the way. Now at 03:30 A. M. I am woke up by my wife singing the song. We are now Old, We own a Motor Home But I an a veteran who has been an advocate all my life since leaving Camp Cambell , Ky. February 19, 1957, Known by my name all over the world on most all Web sites . I have traveled all over the western States between Califotnia and Missouri even being on Luther Nallies , Son of The Pioneers in Branson. Mo. My wife is 75 and I 85. and many years ago I was known as Cousin Clem on the Hillbilly and Mountain Music Circuit long becore Gunner Piles. I even appeared with Roy Roger's a few times and other programs. But when my family was murdered February 6, 1972, It Changed my life Now I am just Raymond F. "Ray" Pittam the Advocate for the American Fallen Warriors. I wish with all my heart we could find a good Couple who would enjoy driving us in our Motor Home to Dollyville, and My wife could visit Miss Dolly for only ten minutes of her time. Ray Pittam, aka Cousin Clem Inc Clem Johnson long forgotten. I used to play on Printer's Alley with many other's who has been forgotten and many still known. I used to live just two Blocks from Minniee Pearl and the Governeors Mansion and several other big Named Entertainers just off Red Folly Blvd.

I'm a musician & like ALL types of music.!! Love Dolly Parton, too.! And I'm a "grown-ass man" (71yrs.)...and STILL CRY every time I hear that song.!?!! THAT'S from the heart & soul.!! Lot of great music out there....ENJOY.!!

Dolly is a Superstar and deserves it, she's always a pro

I love her diction, easily understand every word. She’s a great storyteller.

Dolly's a great writer and singer too. Did you know she wrote and performed first the song "I Will Always Love You" that Whitney Houston was famous for singing? Dolly's amazing.

I'm from East Tennessee and members of my family on both sides met Dolly in everyday life. They all said she was friendly, kind, and genuine. This is my favorite of her songs. Thanks for the video!

Don’t apologize. Be you, they’ll adjust.

Everyone loves Dolly!!

Of Course, she is your favorite country artist! Dolly is just magic

This was one of my mother's favorite songs. Since she passed, it makes me cry every time I hear it.

What a beautiful, humbling ballad.

Dolly was raised in a 2 room shack, with 10 kids and her parents, in a shack without running water or electricity, in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. Her father could not read and was very embarrassed about it. This song is based on her true story and the original coat is on display in her museum. She started “Imagination Library” that sends out free books, every month, to every child signed up in the program as a tribute to her illiterate father. Her husband avoids the limelight and is a driveway sealer who listens to heavy metal. They have been married for nearly 40 years. He is rarely at events so there are few pictures of him. She moved her childhood home to the Dollywood theme park so fans can see where she was raised and learn more about that time of American hardship and history.

You know Dolly wrote and sang, I Will Always Love You, and Whitney Houston made her millions singing it. In the movie, Bodyguard

Next Country Female; Loretta Lynn’s “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter” ❤ She’s also a writer and writes from her experiences.

If you didn’t know, this song is a true story that Dolly experienced. My mom’s from Tennessee also, and grew up poor in the 50’s, and this is the same experience my mom went through. Always brings a tear to my eyes.

DOLLY FOR PRESIDENT! YES, AND PLEASE!

Join the club - we ALL love Dolly's voice. When God made her he broke the mold.

Dolly grew up in extreme poverty in East Tennessee. 12 people in a one room cabin. This song is totally autobiographical. Of course, now she could probably buy the whole state of Tennessee. She's a smart business woman and a national treasure. She is the REAL DEAL. She's one of the most authentic artists we have left. There is so much represented in her singing voice when you listen. She is a small, petite person but when she opens her mouth to sing and that voice comes out, you hear the history of an entire culture of people who live in the mountainous region of the eastern part of the United States. You hear the suffering, the hardship, love and compassion of all that is encompassed and encapsulated in that voice of hers.

I grew up with rock music and didn't really like country music (I'm 63). But I really like Dolly. In addition to being a great singer/song writer, she is a fantastic human being. I can't tell you how much respect I have for her.

I'm a metalhead, and I appreciate Dolly Parton so much. Her contribution to music is immense.

She's an American treasure and will always be an icon! She's beautiful in her soul and in her person!

“Don’t tell my friends”?? TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! Dolly is a gem. 💎

Dolly is a queen!

There are so many artists in the Country genre that are so talented. Dolly and Loretta Lynn are wonderful. Loretta wrote songs from the different experiences from her life.

she is an amazing song writer!!! most people dont realize "i will always love you" was her creation....and also. this story about the coat, was a true story

Dolly is a wonderful singer/songwriter and she loves her fans and is so kind to them. I used to work in a building with a country radio station in it and she came to the station for an interview. Some people from our office left a note in the elevator saying we would love to see her and after the interview she came to the office.

My dad loved this song! I still know every word 50 years later! Being raised poor this hit home.
