Dolly Parton Makes Her First Appearance on Her Birthday | Carson Tonight Show

There are some singers who can make a masterpiece of any song put in front of them, and Dolly is one of those people. Dolly is certainly a legend in any era!

She is just so darn sweet, adorable. How could anyone not love Dolly?

I happened to see her when she was opening for Mac Davis so many years ago. She sat on a stool on the stage all by herself and played her guitar, sang and told some stories. She had the audience in the palm of her hand. She is an incredible talent and as an added bonus, she was just beautiful too.

Dolly Parton has the BEST laugh! Now we can actually hear the definition of "infectious laugh."

And here she is in 2023 in her late 70's still rocking it! Even donned a Dallas Cheerleader outfit and sang.

I'm from East Tennessee not far from Dolly Parton's hometown. Yes some of us make moonshine and some of us just drink it. I don't personally know any girls who were married as young as 12 or 14 but I was married on my 18th birthday. I'm still married to the same man for 42 yrs and life is good. Dolly Parton is a very wonderful person bc she gives back to her community in ways that make an important and lasting impact. She's honest, kind, strong, sweet, smart, confident and extremely talented. She's proud of the place she comes from in Tennessee. Dolly is real. She has never tried to be someone else other than who and what she truly is. Staying true to oneself is the key to happiness. Love you Miss Dolly. 💯💯🧡🧡💯💯

Dolly's first high profile interview on national television (beyond the narrow confines of the local Nashville media), and you can see how nervous she was, with her arms crossed in front of her for most of the the interview. It seems like Johnny sensed how nervous she was, and made a point to make her feel welcome. She has always spoken very highly of Johnny, and credited these early appearances on his show as bringing her to widespread fame on a national level.

I love Dolly's vibrato. Wowee this rendition of this tune by her unique vocal signature is crazy great.

Fun Fact: Dolly is one of the most prolific songwriters of our generation. A lot of performers have recorded her songs on their records, from Kenny Rogers, Porter Wagoner, Merle Haggard to White Stripes

dolly is just this little burst of joy and love and light it’s insane 💜

Her voice is absolutely the same today. LOVE DOLLY!

Love her, love him. Two American icons, legends, masters of their craft.

An incredible talent and an even better human being.

Her spirit is so beautiful

You can't help but smile listening to Dolly speak.

“Me and my Little Andy”——heartbreaker right there.

Dolly saying her sisters are very pretty when she is so beautiful herself and so humble.

Dolly is a real treasure.

One of the loveliest women in music! Helps all! A gift from God!

I worked with Dolly before and she is literally like royalty, that’s the only way I can describe her.? They invited her to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame and she turned them down. Class.
