Favorite Dolly Parton Song or Quote

Crystal Bruce

Just over here mourning the loss of Dolly and saw a wonderful quote attributed to her that I thought I'd share:

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

I thought it would be nice to share your favorite Dolly song or quote or inspirational story. I know she did a lot for kids with her organization Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Jolene is just such a classic song - have to mention that one!

Allison King

I really like These Bones.

Also, if you've never seen the video of her telling the bear story to Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show, It is absolutely worth the watch.

I always love a good duet and Dolly & Kenny had some great ones.

His reaction when she starts singing on this one is so great. And her humor and stage presence is awesome. Worth the watch and not just the listen!

I'm so sad that she's gone. Truly an angel.

I have so many favorites but if I have to narrow it down I think it would be these two. One is more fun and the other sounds fun but is way too real. Yet, I love them.

May many more walk in her shoes.

It's hard to pick just one but I will have to say Coat of Many Colors

So many songs to choose from but my introduction to her world started with 9 to 5!
