![]() Dolly Parton fans at the Pyramid stage, Glastonbury 2014. Dolly gives freely from the gifts of wisdom that she has collected across her life. Coat of Many Colors continues to be one of Parton’s most popular songs, as shown by the enthusiastic response to it during live shows. Parton recalls when she had patches on her. From her 'Coat Of Many Colors' while working '9 To 5', no dream is too and no mountain too high for the country girl who turned the world into her stage. Here, the text is made up entirely of the song’s lyrics. Jody Darling’s lovely soprano and impressive vocal range did honor to Dolly’s number one hits including Jolene, Coat of Many Colors, Joshua and Nine to Five. The incident evidently had a profound effect, as it led to a song, written in 1971, and a TV movie in 2015. From a box of rags to a coat of riches, Dolly is a master songwriter, storyteller, and singer. A patchwork coat created from a box of donated rags is a deeply felt memory from the author’s childhood. Listen to Dolly Parton’s original song taken from her life experience, written in 1969 on the back of someone else’s dry cleaning receipt and recorded in April 1971 to become number four on the U.S. She believes that if you can teach a child to read, you can teach them to dream, and if they can dream… anything is possible! Her non-profit gives free books to children. She started her Imagination Library non-profit to honor her father who didn’t learn to read and write. And she tells everyone, “One is only poor, only if they choose to be.” In the backcountry of Tennessee, she will tell you that they had running water… they had to “run and get it.” From the poverty of her early life, you will find the riches of her songs that tell her story. Dolly Parton grew up in a two-room house with her “momma and daddy” and 11 other siblings.
