“A Holly Dolly Christmas” #MusicMonday

What would this world be like without Dolly Parton? This has been a rough year with very little shimmers of light. Well Dolly Parton is a beacon with a new holiday album, holiday movie on Netflix, and a documentary. Dolly is working overtime! And we need her!

Oh, and did I mention that she donated money for research that led to an advance in a COVID-19 vaccine? Does it get any more Dolly than that?!?

Dolly’s documentary was particularly interesting in that it focused on her song writing. She’s a song writer first and foremost, having written over 3,000 songs at this point. Like this one that Whitney Houston ended up covering, to massive massive success:

And then my personal favorite from her most famous movie:

Of course she didn’t write every single song she sung, but certainly the lion’s share. Her famous duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream” was written by The Bee Gees.

And then “Starting Over Again” which was written by Donna Summer.

Ah, I could go on and on. Let’s just leave it with a little holiday cheer.

Thank you Dolly! We need you right now!

What’s your experience? JIM
