I first came across Tom Power with his Melissa Etheridge interview. I am a MLE superfan, and have heard hundreds of Melissa interviews. His stood out as one of my favorite Melissa interviews of all time. I am so glad to see him here with Dolly. He is so good!
What a fantastic interview great I'm 68 and I don't know if Dolly said it or you said it but she definitely is it's rare that someone like Dolly everyone loves which gives her the platform to preach the gospel of love again you did a beautiful job
Three things that are false: The Earth is flat, the moon is made of cheese, and Dolly Parton belongs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame (she is NOT a rocker and that's obvious)...
I know Debbie and I respect her tremendously but we can have a difference of opinion on this issue. Here are some women who are not in the RnR HOF that deserve to be there before Dolly: Siouxsie (from Siouxsie & The Banshees), Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper, Wanda Jackson, The Mavelettes, Chaka Khan, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), PJ Harvey, Big Mama Thornton, Emmylou Harris, and Bjork... There are more if I thought about it longer. Look everyone loves and respects Dolly Parton but she has never been a rocker. She is a great country/country pop singer and songwriter...@@PaulRichmondStudio
@@robbrown4621 well Dolly said the same when she tried to decline the honor (as she explains in this interview), but they told her they were going to put her in anyway. So that’s why she decided to make a rock album, and it’s awesome! Pat Benatar and Emmylou Harris from your list also make appearances on the album to endorse dolly’s rock status. People have been telling her what she can and can’t do for 60 years, and she has always done whatever she wanted. To me, there is nothing more rock and roll than that.
I have no issues with Dolly. She is a wonderful human being. And I am not telling her what to do. My issue is with the hypocrisy of the people in charge of the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. There are many people who deserve to be there way before we ever get to Dolly. And like I previously wrote, Dolly is a country/pop singer songwriter. The only reason she did this rock record was because she had to after being inducted. And along this line, if we are going to induct pure country singers into the Hall then there are country singers who were more 'rocker' than Dolly. These would include George Jones, Jeanie C Riley, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard... @@PaulRichmondStudio
@@robbrown4621 I don’t have any particularly strong feelings about the rock and roll hall of fame. It sounds like something you have thought about quite a bit. I don’t care who is in it or not, so no desire to debate you about that. But I love Dolly’s rock album, and I believe it proves her quite worthy of being considered a “rocker.” Have you listened to it?
😂😂😂 "I guess I'm going to have to earn it"- Dolly. You don't have the time or the skills left dear. I hate to break it to you. Unfortunately you will probably get in WITHOUT earning it.
@PaulRichmondStudio There is a difference between being negative and being realistic. If you can't tell the difference my guess is you probably one of those with the mindset that voted for Joe Biden.🤣🤣
@@SkeeterDunn Stevie Nicks, Elton John, Paul Mcartney, and Debbie Harry all believe Dolly belongs in the Rock hall. I’ll take their opinion over “Skeeter Dunn” any day. And I know internet trolls love to make everything about politics, but I’m not wasting my time going there with you.
Dolly is one of the GOOD ONES. Dolly wears the White Hat and always has. Genuine just doesn't cut it. Dolly needs a new word that is all her own that is an amalgamation of all that is good in the world. That's Dolly to me. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Awesome album done w/style & class. Love all the song’s! Nobody can top Dolly & the kindness, & the talent, she has & will never lose. The world 🌍 needs more artists, like Queen Dolly Parton. Wonderful human being 😊
I want to real talk with the host because this struck me. Miss Parton, I think she's really so awesome to us now it's not that we don't take her seriously but she makes us nervous like a Saint. We love her on this level of being awestruck if she speaks. And it means she rarely gets good interviews, sadly. But this host probably did the best interview she's ever done. He treated her with genuine respect while also demonstrating knowledge of her career which seemed to put her at ease. And it engaged this level of authentic honesty rarely shown in her interviews. I loved seeing it. I think she's just on a whole other level as a human being but most people are so stunned they can't engage with her really. I loved this. It touches my heart to know the interviewer is so familiar with her work. And I can tell Let it Be is a favorite it her. She sings is heavy like a preacher, it personally sends me every time.
You're right, was thinking to myself, I got feels for her like a saint. She stays authentic and caring no matter what. Generous and kind, down to earth. I care about Dolly and think of her almost daily, weird, maybe...I think it's because she sets a standard of goodness that the world needs to move forward in a way that promotes humanity. I've followed her since I was a youth when she was on the Porter Wagner Show. I loved when she took over Gold Rush Junction and started Dolly World, she gives back to her community.
The best interviewer and interview hands down. I have loved Dolly since I first knew of her in 1967 when I was a little kid. Awesome comment too.. good job❤
It is amazing in this world how some people, too many, spend so much of their time and direct so much of their thinking, energy and efforts toward negativity, fighting, tearing others down, being so hate filled and warring; while others, like Dolly, are the opposite spending all of their time, energy and efforts thinking about and bringing about positivity, bringing people together, bringing so much love, light and joy to the world - I guess that is just the nature of the realm of duality.
There are so many great singers and song writers. Some in the past now, others still crafting joy for those who hear their songs. There will be others following in the footsteps of those who came their way. And then....THERE IS DOLLY...ENOUGH SAID!
I remember going to Billings concert here at the grand palace, of course that’s no longer around. But it was in the 90s, and me and my friends went to see his concert at the grand palace in Branson Missouri. I’ve always loved Breaky heart, and all Billy‘s songs. I think I have the complete Cyrus set, so two of Miley Cyrus news albums as well.
So does Miley Cyrus actually have a horse named blue jeans? That’s cool! I remember she was in the Hannah Montana movie, and she did really well I thought.

Her song with Peter Frampton (Baby, I Love Your Way) is pure gold. Her sweet voice gives the song a different feel.
That was one of the best interviews on Dolly that I had ever seen.
Cheers from Down Under.
50 years on Dolly is just as smart and beautiful as ever.
excellent interview with the most beloved icon dolly good job 💖
The thread of music touches everyone! in a song bird you hear the closest and sweetest music god ever blessed the world with !
Love all of Dolly's collaborations with other rock stars on on her Rockstar Album!
Love Miss Dolly ❤❤
"...If it bite 'em in the ass" her expression is priceless.
Absolute class
❤❤❤
❤❤
❤
Wow she does not change she must have magicalpowers
I don't get it either. Keep preachin', Dolly, the best way you know how. I hope this album is the best-selling album of all time!

Well Stevie Nicks, Elton John, Paul McArtney, and Debbie Harry all think she does belong, so I’ll take their opinions over Rob Brown.
I know Debbie and I respect her tremendously but we can have a difference of opinion on this issue.

While haters crying in comments, she have #1 in billboard
@MagicofMarleneMarvinDietrich been a Dolly fan all my life. But the old gray mare just ain't what she used to be.
I can’t imagine watching this interview and thinking a negative comment is the way to go.

Her Rockstar album is surprisingly great!!! Actually at 77 years old, it is her best chart topping release ever!!!!

What an amazing woman! Great new album!
Awesome album done w/style & class. Love all the song’s! Nobody can top Dolly & the kindness, & the talent, she has & will never lose. The world 🌍 needs more artists, like Queen Dolly Parton. Wonderful human being 😊
We are lucky to still have a queen like her around
Why do interviewers always ask the same questions. So lazy of them, like they’re copying other interviews they heard. Ask her original questions!
Agree!
She’s is so patient answering the same questions over and over. Love her.

Dolly covering others songs. You all need to check out her versions of, Peace Train. Save The Last Dance For Me. Just When I Needed You Most.
True, just when I needed you most is awesome
Don't know how you never heard the story about Elvis. Must not be a dolly fan
It is amazing in this world how some people, too many, spend so much of their time and direct so much of their thinking, energy and efforts toward negativity, fighting, tearing others down, being so hate filled and warring; while others, like Dolly, are the opposite spending all of their time, energy and efforts thinking about and bringing about positivity, bringing people together, bringing so much love, light and joy to the world - I guess that is just the nature of the realm of duality.
congrats on your coming 60th wedding anniversary! ✌🧡
That's March 30 th 2026. Next june is 60 yrs since they met. Graduation 1964: Dolly went to Nashville straight after.

There are so many great singers and song writers. Some in the past now, others still crafting joy for those who hear their songs. There will be others following in the footsteps of those who came their way. And then....THERE IS DOLLY...ENOUGH SAID!
Someone ask if I would go straight for any woman, I laughed and said Dolly Parton 😂
Dolly here reaffirmed her status as a transcendent national/world treasure. She only cares, as she said it, about what matters.
Dolly has ALWAYS been a rock star. She is a force of nature.
Dolly is a sweet lady. Has she developed a lisped or had a stroke? 💗
Thank you for sharing. We need to get back to God, now more than ever.
Dolly Parton won't get you there.
Love the new album
Rocking chair is more like it
Class act great album dolly we love you

So Rare Earth is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame but Dolly Parton is...
Please. This is ridiculous.
Rare who?
