I live in Johnson City, TN....SHE is what represents our state....not the authoritarian simpletons who are aggrieved by culture wars all the damn time. She's a cool person....and the pride and joy of our state. Ask anyone with any sense who lives here. Glad to see others in this nation realize Tennesseans can be cool as shit....despite the sad fact we'll surely be safely Trump come Tuesday. But I'm doing my part. Cannot wait to vote. I'm 37....and this will be the first time I've ever voted in a national election. My past apathy has been burnt to the ground.......by Trump. And I thank him for that. I will be apathetic no longer.
I was listening to the interview while washing dishes. I started crying when she sang, not knowing Colbert was crying too and when she said “Are you crying?” it legit freaked me out. She’s wonderful.
Only someone with a blessed soul can move you like that. Dolly is a national, world, and universal treasure! She’s so humble and genuine. We are blessed that Dolly shares her gift with us. I will always love YOU Dolly! ❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
A month before my Dad passed in 92 he took me on a little concert get away. James Brown in Cincinnati and Dolly parton in Tennessee. Those were his all time favorites! Years later we ran into Dolly at the Bluebird cafe in Nashville. Of course my mom had to tell her the big fan my father was and their song was Islands in the Stream. Dolly asked my mom if she had a photo of my Dad my mom pulled out their wedding photo. Dolly asked my mom to hold it close to her and she sang Islands in the stream for my mom and dad!! You could feel the goodness in her soul!
@@royal_kira7184yes we were all crying I wish we could all have that love and respect for each other! I'm grateful that I got that time with my Dad before he passed. God bless you and your family
My two young sons gets a brand new book every month in the mail up until they turn 5, through her charitable organization Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. She is the essence of what giving back and generosity is all about. This is done throughout the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland.
Colbert, such a hypocrite. Gives me goosebumps just to think how long 'til he reverts to his natural mode of "let's insult anyone who is conservative".
Except that she's dead... what you are seeing is like when they Faked Princess Leia being alive... Full Conversations with Carrie Fischer, R.I.P.... freeze frame at 2:31... LOOK at her HANDS... those are NOT the hands of a 74 year old... I KNOW she is a Plastic Queen... but there is NO hand surgery that rejuvenates your knuckles and skin on your hands... this is a test run for all the Fake Digital Face overs... 2:31... HANDS...
@@Caswell39ADavern Colbert has been a national treasure for reminding us daily that the aberrant behavior in Washington and white house for the past four miserably long years is not normal.
I know she's skeptical that Stephen could actually be crying that quickly in response to her singing, but I can second that her emotionally tinged voice in fact left me with goosebumps & a little misty eyed as well. That's all you need, a couple spontaneous lines from Dolly & she gets those feelings flowing. What a beautifully inspirational & optimistic soul!
@No Lives Matter I thought it was quite real. Cries just like my dad in public lol can't let the tears touch his face, have to wipe them right out of the eyes. He even sniffles later on, totally real 🤷♀️ Dolly gets me right in the feels too sometimes
Not to mention the song was all about missing someone you love and wishing you could be with them even it means death. Given his past and the deep tragedy he's experienced I feel like that kind of song could hit him real hard
@No Lives Matter Meh, I was pretty blazed, and I still found it pretty moving in context. I think if you didn't think it's plausible that Colbert could be moved to tears by the conversation/performance, you're emotionally dead.
Sometimes when you're overwhelmed with stress or sadness, all you need is for someone to cut through it and it just pours out of you. I totally get where he's coming from.
Dolly Parton is a true humanist and has the magical ability to articulate our feelings universally. She gets to our hearts faster than any songwriter I've ever seen. Thank you Dolly for connecting our hearts with your music.
Stephen's reaction to Dolly singing is the same as my reaction when Dolly once sang for me. It's a visceral, heart-wrenching reaction that cannot be controlled. Your heart explodes, your brain is set on fire, and there is no drug in the world that can top the high.
I'm a 41 year old man, and to hear her (Dolly) beautiful voice sing the song that she did...brought tears to my eyes too. The purity of real love. Steve felt it and his eyes showed the joy. I love motown all my life and Dolly Parton holds a special place in my heart. Love you Dolly!! And big ups to Steven Colbert!! Well loved!!
My grandmother sang songs like this. A few years ago, her kids got together and made an album, (not distributed, just for the family), of the old songs she sang to them. They were depressing and beautiful like the one Dolly sang.
How lovely! I’ve heard they’re called murder ballads- and turns out many of them are real! “Dolly Parton’s America” podcast does excellent piece on her old sad ass songs
How about the song called Barbara Allen? My mom used to sit on the bed with a guitar playing and singing those old songs I don't think she ever knew we were listening to her. Like the one Dolly just sang Weeping Willow Tree.
I was crying along with Stephen. My daddy would sing old songs like this and it just moved me to hear her angelic voice. I find myself crying these days. I don’t know if it’s hope or fear. Mrs. Dolly has such a beautiful soul.
Oh how we all love Dolly!!! Despite fame and fortune,she has never forgotten her roots and is such a down to earth soul! It has always amazed me that she has can be her same sweet,smart self no matter who she's speaking to. God Bless you always Dolly💕
I'm not crying, you're crying! Saw Dolly in Arther Ashe stadium Pride weekend five years ago, and my god, I've seen a lot of classic rock and folk artists who are her contemporaries, but damn. She gave me the best concert I've ever had the pleasure to attend. I thank that older female gay lawyer who invited me ❤️
I saw her near Dallas just about 4 years ago. If I remember right it was after the election & pre-inauguration, so in the world everyone was already pretty split about everything but when she was on stage there was none of that. Straight, gay, black, brown, white, Ds & Rs, people dressed in jeans, suits & Dolly Drag - all just being together and having a nice evening. I believe Dolly fills up whatever room she's in with God. I really hope I get the chance to see her again.
Love the way she'll sometimes sing "Joleen" and sub out "Drag Queen" if she sees some in her audience. She's got a wide-open heart with room for everyone! All are welcome.
Willow Tree song is one of my husband’s favorites - we were in the mountains of NC when he started singing it - I cried my eyes out. Loved it ever since.
The last time my grandad and I rode in a car together, 9-5 came on and he had the radio up to 11! He always said Dolly is the prettiest girl in country (music), and she still is. XOXO Dolly
She is such a down-to-earth, genuine person. And beautifully singing just off the cuff there, no tricks, just emotion and talent. I have always loved both versions of I Will Always Love You. Whitney's interpretation was incredible and I think remains her most known song to this day. But Dolly's version always makes me cry.
I love her. She has such a pure, loving soul. Her singing on this was so beautiful-it woke me from near-sleep and blessed my soul. God Bless you, Dolly! 🙏🏾❤️
Wow - I never knew that Dolly wrote 'I will always love you' - just when I thought my respect for her couldnt go any higher - what a treasure she is! What a queen 👑
Her version is very beautiful, very gentle. It was in this movie, starring Dolly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_Little_Whorehouse_in_Texas_(soundtrack)
Elvis tried to buy the rights to the song as he did every song he sang. She held out and became one of the richest song writer's ever from the royalties.
Colbert, such a hypocrite. Gives me goosebumps just to think how long 'til he reverts to his natural mode of "let's insult anyone who is conservative".
Over 100 million record sales, 25 country No 1s and holds the record for most charted albums (43) - not bad for and ‘Average voice’. Has had songs on the country, pop, disco, dance, gospel, Christian and Adult Contemporary charts - yeah, ‘limited musical repertoire’ 🙄
I have always love he voice, her talent, and her looks also, but I now believe she is an actual Angel. Thank God for Dolly and God bless her and you as well Stephen.
She's one of the few remaining hero's that still living and still a legend. I'm happy I got to experience the peaceful easy feeling that she gives everyone. Thank you Dolly.
I was doing something else & listening when she began singing. That sweet way of singing she has goes right to my feelings. She is a masterful singer. Stephen wasn't the only one to have tears well up.
When I was a little boy, I would sit in my Granny’s kitchen and her songs would be on. I’ve been in a straight rage the past few weeks and now I’m a sobbing mess.
Just watching any videos of her gives you warmth... and then you can’t help but get teary-eyed. I just love her. She’s one of the reasons that still makes you believe in humanity.
I love Whitney Houston's beautiful, perfect voice, but it was Dolly singing 'I Will Always Love You' that I played over & over as a young woman when my marriage was ending.
I have loved that song since she used to sing it a the closing for her variety show when I was a little girl. It took me a long time to come around to Whitney Houston's version.
I was in the movie theater wishing I could have been with my love while I was watching Little Whorehouse in Texas. When it came to the time that she sang that song I cried a bucket of Tears. Then years later when I was with my love we moved here to Gatlinburg Tennessee near where she lived and grew up. My husband was killed in an accident here in town and we had our Memorial for him at the local Park Vista DoubleTree Hotel. And we had professional musical artists and a video that was professionally done for us. Several of Dolly songs were on there including one with Kenny Rogers. Everyone was amazed of what a beautiful Memorial we had. So I thank Dolly for playing such a big part of our lives together ❤
Growing up, my Mom used to listen to a country music radio station in the car, and from the time I was 2 years old, I always knew when Dolly came on the radio. I would yell out happily, "Dolllyyyyyyyyyy!!!" ☺️ She's a truly beautiful soul.
Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Don Williams and Jim Reeves where my growing up musicians. I'm a Ghanaian pan-Africanist and people find my love for old country music really weird. Ms Dolly Parton is my favorite. She is such a human being. I would live to attend her concert. My favorite song is coat of many colours.
Actually, it makes a lot of sense. Country music partially evolved from Appalachian music, and Appalachian music has a fair amount of African influence. Actually, we have reason to believe that the banjo (one of the instruments most often associated with Appalachian music) originated in the Western part of Africa. Of course, the unfortunate thing is the specifics of how Appalachian music got its African influences, as it mainly got them via slavery. That said, given that, it’s not really that weird that you like Country music. Part of the genre’s musical lineage is from the Western part of Africa, which is where you are.
I used to just know her for Jolene and I Will Always Love You. Then I listened to her Coat of Many Colors (I think that’s the name) and it made me sob uncontrollably. She’s a gifted songwriter.
What a national treasure this woman is

I was in the movie theater wishing I could have been with my love while I was watching Little Whorehouse in Texas. When it came to the time that she sang that song I cried a bucket of Tears. Then years later when I was with my love we moved here to Gatlinburg Tennessee near where she lived and grew up. My husband was killed in an accident here in town and we had our Memorial for him at the local Park Vista DoubleTree Hotel. And we had professional musical artists and a video that was professionally done for us. Several of Dolly songs were on there including one with Kenny Rogers. Everyone was amazed of what a beautiful Memorial we had. So I thank Dolly for playing such a big part of our lives together ❤
I respect the absolute hell out of that woman! God bless her!
Wow. Now I'm crying. Weeping Willow Tree. So beautiful! ☺ I love her. My mom loved her too. 😊
"Oh, you crying?" Let me keep singing to you. That was so precious ❤
What a lovely person ❤ 💕 💖
Growing up, my Mom used to listen to a country music radio station in the car, and from the time I was 2 years old, I always knew when Dolly came on the radio. I would yell out happily, "Dolllyyyyyyyyyy!!!" ☺️ She's a truly beautiful soul.
Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Don Williams and Jim Reeves where my growing up musicians. I'm a Ghanaian pan-Africanist and people find my love for old country music really weird. Ms Dolly Parton is my favorite. She is such a human being.
I would live to attend her concert. My favorite song is coat of many colours.
Isn't that proof of A Loving Creator?... Who wants all to celebrate each other ? & Share our cultural joys! JW.org
I’m biracial from Detroit (the home of Motown) and I’ve always enjoyed Dolly’s music.
Actually, it makes a lot of sense. Country music partially evolved from Appalachian music, and Appalachian music has a fair amount of African influence. Actually, we have reason to believe that the banjo (one of the instruments most often associated with Appalachian music) originated in the Western part of Africa. Of course, the unfortunate thing is the specifics of how Appalachian music got its African influences, as it mainly got them via slavery. That said, given that, it’s not really that weird that you like Country music. Part of the genre’s musical lineage is from the Western part of Africa, which is where you are.
All American musical genres originate from Muslim West Africa.
You're not alone. Apparently country music is big in Kenya too. Dolly particularly.
I haven’t heard more than one Dolly Parton song, but this makes me want to be a fan. I need to listen to her albums.
She has over 50, so you’re spoiled for choice.
Do it you wont regret it
I used to just know her for Jolene and I Will Always Love You. Then I listened to her Coat of Many Colors (I think that’s the name) and it made me sob uncontrollably. She’s a gifted songwriter.
