Dolly Parton DEAD (3 Viewers)

[Agneeta]

The BBC are showing a clip where she says she's not a feminist, but then lists a series of points supporting female and racial equality.

Very simple, but very effective.

 

[lolly]

A classic case of believing a person's actions rather than their words. She knew exactly what she was doing.

I didn't realise the book thing happened here as well

I didn't realise the book thing happened here as well

I was surprised to learn this. Apparently it included Australia and R.O.I. too.

Pitbull pays tribute.

I don't know if anyone heard of this little fun fact before Dolly covered a song written and originally recorded by Kesha's mother

 

[Agneeta]

Not that I expect much, but Spotify stats are being very slow to come in.

 

[Mark R 3]

She really was universally loved. She will be greatly missed.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

My god, the sheer class and kindness of this woman.

 

[Mark R 3]

I wonder why “9 to 5” only peaked at #47 when it was first released.

She (currently) only has two UK top 40 hits, “Jolene” and “Islands In The Stream” (both #7).

Dolly was one of those acts where her chart success, or lack of, didn't really matter. She went above and beyond chart positions and sales.

Just been listening to Dolly's Greatest Hits CD in tribute to her. She really did have a lot of wonderful songs.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Spotify daily artists updated (not the songs yet)

11 - UK
17 - GLOBAL

highest peak on both (previous high UK was 136 and first time ever in global)

 

[Joseph]

Taking over USA iTunes as expected

 

[VoR]

The Bargain Store deserves more love.

 

[Joseph]

An old school fave of mine

Fuck yes!

So looks like 9 to 5 won't belatedly be a UK hit after all then.

 

[Suedehead]

 

[Agneeta]

I was just trying to list in my head, all her achievements and qualities. There were so many I lost my way.

 

[Devil]

Jolene already #6 on UK Spotify with only about six hours of streaming. I imagine tomorrow’s update (for today) will be huge.

#8. "Jolene" - 201,291 streams

#15. "9 to 5" - 170,852 streams

#16. "Islands In the Stream" - 170, 682 streams

#88. "I Will Always Love You" - 98,579 streams

#105. "Here You Come Again" - 91,945 streams

 

[Devil]

And obviously, what a woman.

I can’t think of anyone, especially in the current climate, that is so unanimously loved. And obviously, rightfully so. This is a hard one.

 

[Lobster]

You know what, I'd have never believed Dolly was the biggest private donator for the moderna COVID vaccine research. I got the moderna vaccine, so did my mother. Back in 2021 my father refused to be injected even though I tried to desperately convince him otherwise, so he eventually got COVID and died. So yeah, Dolly Parton did a lot of good in this world.

 

[Agneeta]

For someone who wasn't political her contributions to literacy and healthcare were more significant than nearly every politician. Ever.

 

[Mark R 3]

Coat Of Many Colours is one of her best songs IMO.

 

[Jark]

lovely interview clip from last year with Miley talking about how Dolly came to be her godmother
