Dolly Parton DEAD (7 Viewers)

[Jark]

I was born in 1902 but I'm still aware of Queen Victoria's back catalogue.

what's your fave? I'm quite partial to Let Your Head Go (Albert Edit)

 

[lolly]

This Groove (Should Be In My Neck)

 

[Agneeta]

Out of Your Mind (Jack the Ripper Disco Mix)

Has to be the full 63 year edit. Those disco strings.

Whitney's best was How Will I Know, I Will Always is not even in my top 5

Yet that was recorded five years before you were born

HOW EVER DID HE KNOW?

 

[straightorbroken]

Just put on the haunting Little Sparrow. I mistakenly thought she had promoted it on Later With Jools Holland, but she definitely came over here and had amazing reviews at the time for the album.

 

[Eddie]

I'm slowly working my way through her catalogue. It infuriates me why I couldn't have done that while she was still alive - I always respected her as a songwriter but did not understand the depth of her work or her talent.

I'm quite fond of I'm Every Woman, what a generational talent.

 

[Inner Smile]

Yes that's great too

 

[Ellie]

I’m having a Dolly movie day. Straight Talk is better than I remembered.

 

[K.C.]

I find myself mourning her more than I thought I would. I'm watching old Dolly interviews and listening to the way she talks about people and how she thinks about life, and she just puts the rest of mankind to shame.

 

[K.C.]

Also I had no idea she did this

 

[Agneeta]

She's a brand new entry at #18 on the Moopy death charts.

 

[Agneeta]

I've made a start on her back catalogue. The highs are very high.

There is some rot though.

Yes, I've always liked that film too. It was such a perfect role for Dolly. Just a pity that the studio cast the piece of shit James Woods as her male lead over her preferred choice of the lovely Griffin Dunne.

Yes, they definitely should have switched roles. Dunne doesn’t quite pull off the role of the ruthless station manager. He’s too nice.

So true!

 

[K.C.]

Maybe posted earlier, but this Moopy channel favorite did a great analysis on Dolly's films.

 

[wildchild]

Never heard this before! Wow! Like it even more than the original

Linda Perry? without a trigger warning?

 

[straightorbroken]

Kind of amazing how strong the voice remained. Listening and belatedly discovering her deeper cuts has made me truly marvel at how she uses it.

Particularly when you consider how prolific she was.

[Shoat]

Imagine Dolly Parton beating Ultra Nate to #1 being a 2026 headline, and it not even being something we can truly celebrate

 

[Agneeta]

I suspect those positions won't reflect the final chart on Friday.

That said Ultra Nate getting a no.1, twenty nine years after Free is quite something.

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I’d be amazed too but it would be lovely, not least because streaming seems to have killed the posthumous heritage artist hit - and it would be nice to see these make a return.

 

[Shoat]

There is still time for the dreadful Ella Langley to ruin everything

 

[Lobster]

I was born 1989 you know, not as old as you lot

Hi Taylor Swift. I'm afraid you're no longer as young as you think you are. Don't worry, it happens to everyone.

I'm Choosin' Texas over STELLA LEFTY's Boston.

 

[VoR]

I was just listening to The Grass Is Blue and became very distracted by this number having the exact same melody as Saint Etienne’s Like a Motorway.



Turns out Saint Et brazenly pilfered it! (It’s an old 19th century folk song, Dolly didn’t write it)

 

[Mark R 3]

So Dolly might have her first UK number one single this week, great to see! It would be even better if she can do the double on the album front.

 

[Agneeta]

Sadly she probably won't.

 

[straightorbroken]

It's just great her abilities and sheer volume of work are being recognised and explored like this. This whole pining for faves to "get their flowers" by achieving a number 1 (like it means something) is beyond me really. As if Dolly would be agonising to finally get that chart topping US album, etc.

 

[dmlaw]

Just watched the Dolly Glastonbury performance. It finished with 'I Will Always Love You' and I am a complete mess.

 

[octophone]

I'm sure Stella Lefty's dad is passing Daniel Ek a few quid as we speak.

 

[FetchFugly]

Some glorious photos of Dolly there.

 

[VoR]

Loving this deeply relatable classic about a young Dolly hearing tell of an intimidating dom top living in the smoky mountains and being like “Sounds hot, let me strap on my hiking gear!”
