If you guys didn’t know, this song is something that really happened to Dolly. My mom grew up poor in Tennessee back in the 50’s, and the same thing happened to my mom. This song always makes me cry. Dolly is a treasure. 👍
Seems Tennessee has had its fair share of growing up poor. I'm just a little younger than your Mama but I'm sure we'd have similar memories. Lots of love to you from an old Tennessee lady. 💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏
My Mama grew up in West Tennessee in the 50's & 60's (She was born in '51). I guess they were poor as they wore flour sack dresses a lot growing up that my Grandmother made for them. They got electricity in about 1955 and indoor plumbing around 1959. They farmed and Grandaddy also later got work at Holley Carburetor in Paris. I do know they were the first ones for miles around to get a tv set and Mama said every Saturday the house would be packed with neighbors coming over to watch the fights on tv. Grandmother grew up as a sharecropper sleeping on what she called a "pallet" in a loft reached by a wood ladder and often all they had to eat were wild greens (Or as Grandmother derisively called them, Weeds) Mama said they made their own soap from rendered hog fat and ash (I assume the ash was for the lye) They heated the house with a double fireplace up until the year before I was born when they got a wood stove in the living room. Even then if it hadn't been for the old 4 stack heaters in the other rooms when I was a kid, you couldn't have been in them long without freezing. Not that they used them much as you could nearly see your breath in front of your face at night and no heat at all in the upstairs which was one big unfinished room, but it had a big featherbed in it with so many quilts on it that once you got in you couldn't move much, lol. In 1994 they retired the wood stove and got a propane stove for the living room and a propane wall heater for the kitchen but still had those same old stack heaters in the bathroom and 1 bedroom. The big bedroom was STILL heated with the other side of that double fireplace and in the mornings you'd get up fast as you could and go get dressed in the living room where it was warm, LOL! Grandaddy passed on in '96 and Grandmother sold the farm in '98 and moved to Paris in a new but much smaller house with central heat & air. She passed on in 2014. If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna buy the old place back again. Great Grandaddy built it himself in 1921. Before that he lived in an old log cabin that sat behind the house he built.
She grew up dirt poor then got filthy rich and gives much to many! What a wonderful singer and an amazing spirit she has. We need more people like her. Employees at her theme park are getting their higher education paid for by her. What a 🎁
True story. Can a song get any more emotional? I enjoyed your wife getting emotional thru the song...... she was next to tears. Dolly Parton is the real deal, an angel from heaven doing good work. She is very generous with her fame and her money. I don't know how a human being can be any more beautiful than Dolly Parton. She has never forgotten where she came from, day in and day out. Enjoyed your reaction, TY
Great reaction to a wonderful lady that came to this world dirt poor worked hard and became the queen of country music it just shows no matter how what or where we come from we all can make it.
I have been very very poor for the vast majority of my life. My family was only able to have second hand clothes and we were looked down upon many many people in our community. I will always remember that my classmates teachers and professors made fun of me for being poor and having clothes that were obviously not new. I vowed that after I graduated from College with my Masters Degree in Agricultural Economics I would find a job that would provide me with the funds to have nice clothes and shoes. I am determined that my children will get a great education and have nice clothes and shoes. This particular song hits very very close to home with me. Hearing it makes me she'd tears and cry like a baby.
The real coat was passed down to others in the family until it finally disintegrated from so much wear, but a replica can be seen in her museum at Dollywood, her theme park in Tennessee. For anyone looking for a great place to go, its a blast and a side note any employee who works there and wants to go to college, Dolly pays 100% of all costs to.
Just to add, the replica coat was also made by Dolly's mother, so it's as close to the original as one could get. Dolly mentioned it on Phil Donahue, shortly before the opening of Dollywood.
Loretta Lynn Coal Miner's Daughter MyMom was the daughter of a Coal Miner. Her father was killed in an accident in 1940. This song held a lot of meaning for my mom and our whole family. Loretta was another great in the country music world. If you would react (maybe with your wife?)
@ Larry Brantley My grandfather was a coal miner for a very long time so my mom was a huge fan of Loretta Lynn. Any time coal miners daughter came on, mom would smile and sing along saying this is my song. Mom passed away 3 months ago so I had to add that song to my play list now it makes me smile!!!
Being from Tennessee and born to parents whose early life was spent in the Appalachia Mountains in Kentucky, I have a great love for Dolly. I declare my Mama talked like Dolly and told the best stories and the best laugh just like Dolly. I didn't inherit the story telling gene. This song came out when I was about seven. We were poor. Mama put this song on as she was sewing a quilt from rags. After the song she told me the story from the Bible about Joseph's coat of many colors. We didn't have doodly squat but there was more love in our home than anyones, at least that's what I thought. I'd rather be poor and have Mama than all the riches. I think Dolly felt and still even with all her millions feels the same.
I was Dolly...only my coat was actually a bookbag I needed for school because we couldn't afford a backpack. I feel this song in my soul. Kids can be so cruel. I am old now, and wish I still had that beautiful patchwork bookbag. Back then I was embarrassed by it, but right now I would cherish it.
Best words ive heard-one is only poir if you choose to be👍🙏 soo true. What a gem, and playing this with her fingernails! . Singer,songwriter,actress, gives away soo much ! A true great person, great reaction, lov ur take on videos ive seen you ck out. A fan of yours from north florida. Dan-2/22/22
A little suggestion for you to listen to would be trio which is Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris - any song from the three of them together is amazing.
“ Coat of many colors “ is my favorite Dolly Parton song. Check out “ Trio” Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt. You won’t be disappointed. 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼‼️
Dolly has a beautiful song she calls “Down From Dover”. She wrote it in 1969 or 1970. It’s not about her life experience, but it is an experience a lot of young ladies of her era did experience. Although she didn’t experience it personally, she’s telling you a story. It’s a sad story. Due to the subject matter, this song couldn’t be released as a single.
Dolly is undeniable. Don Williams is a great story teller. Also, Tom T. Hall all great and this is coming from someone that listens mostly of Rock and Roll. Great music is just great music. Peace.
So talented! I grew up with Dolly on the radio, but I was initially trying to be more "modern". I have since recognized the error of my ways. Tremendous Talent in both performance and songwriting! Peace, Love! And, if you want to see how she can still sing, check out the acapella Home Free collaboration with Jolene! Amazing! Peace, Love!
Dolly's original coat is long gone. Neither Dolly nor her mom knew what happened to it. They assumed it was passed down till it wore out, or was taken apart & repurposed. After the success of the song, Dolly's mom made her a "near duplicate", which is the one on display.
I love Dolly. She gives so much to charity. She gives every child born in Tennessee their own book because her father was illiterate and she wants every child to own a book. Not many people know that Dolly donated 1 million dollars to research a COVID vaccine. She is a treasure.
Pentatonix is an a cappella group with world fame. You should listen. They have only their voices and a beatboxer. They sang with Dolly one of he famous songs Jolene. Try that out.

a little 'fun fact'...Elvis wanted to cover a song of hers, however Col. Parker(his mgr)wanted Elvis to have 1/2 of the publishing rights: Dolly said no...she later said she actually cried the night she had to turn Elvis down....and, said she SO wanted to hear Elvis sing...'I will Always Love You'..
Dolly lays it all on Col. Parker. She said she didn't know if Elvis ever knew why it fell through. Dolly even had family in from out-of-town, to watch Elvis record it (which Parker knew). Parker called her the night before recording (!), demanding 1/2 the publishing rights, probably thinking he had her boxed into a corner. Dolly said, if it hadn't already been a hit (#1 Country), she'd probably have done the deal. Much later, she met Priscilla, who told her how much Elvis loved the song, how disappointed he was that he couldn't record it & that he actually sang a couple of lines of it, in Priscilla's ear, as they were leaving the court house, following their divorce.
Hi Wilburn, can you show your wife Brooks and Dunn's song, "Believe"? It's Ronnie Dunn's personal life meeting with his older neighbor, a black man, an his lifelong affect on his life and faith. George
Today if you work for Dolly you are well paid, insured, provided child care and if you decide to go to school she will pay for that. That's who she is in her Coat of Many Colors.
Just so some of you folks know that may not dolly also wrote I Will always Love you and released it before Whitney Houston Michael Jackson also sang it you should listen to all three 💕
I'd put Dolly's song writing about bob dillons any day... Cause dolly didn't make a deal with the devil to become the super star she became , while bob dylan did. Dolly has written alot of hits and has written over 3,000 songs without signing her name on a contract with the devil.

She said this was her most autobiographical song.
Damn! This ALWAYS makes me weep. So beautiful.
I Will Always Love You
A Dolly original!!
I think, maybe, those of us who grew up with parents who were dirt poor appreciate what we have a little more.

Loved your respectful reaction. I've heard this song many times over the years and it still makes me well up 😢 Love from NI. ❤
Dolly is special in so many ways. They don't call her the queen of country, but she is
Oh they sure do call her the Queen of Country Music
Amen
They may, but Loretta Lynn is still with us 😉
@@cjturner2008 Dolly is my Queen of country music that’s for sure!!
Dolly wrote a children's book about this story and also made for TV movie.
Great reaction to a wonderful lady that came to this world dirt poor worked hard and became the queen of country music it just shows no matter how what or where we come from we all can make it.
Every time I hear this song, I tear up.
Dolly's true life story and just pure raw emotion!
I have been very very poor for the vast majority of my life. My family was only able to have second hand clothes and we were looked down upon many many people in our community. I will always remember that my classmates teachers and professors made fun of me for being poor and having clothes that were obviously not new.

So proud of you Dee for not breaking down!! If its an older Dolly song there's a good chance its going to be a tear jerker.!
Dolly Parton's, letter to haven is a beauty

Dolly is underrated.Always has been.
Dolly is one of Country music's greatest story tellers.
All her songs are so pure and heartfelt. Wherever her song goes , she takes you with her.

Dolly is amazing. Underneath all the wigs, nails and makeup she is such a kind person who should be an inspiration on how to act.
Her favorite saying about her looks, " it costs so much to look so cheap".
@@kustomdeluxe8489 and “ the higher the hair, the closer to God”.
I grew up like that. She was proud of what she had.
Your Wife is a Very Attentive
Listener Bless Her ❤

My favorite song hands down from any artist. I love Dolly. She has written over 3,000 songs!
Dolly's original Coat of Many Colors still exists. You can find a picture of it online. Both a movie and a children's book were made of this story.
Mrs.Willburn didn't even need to talk, her face changed with every line sung/ Her heart was clearly touched. :-)
A little suggestion for you to listen to would be trio which is Dolly, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris - any song from the three of them together is amazing.
YES! Those three huge talents have recorded many songs together, and they compliment each other so, so well.
Love to our moms ❤❤❤❤❤❤
“ Coat of many colors “ is my favorite Dolly Parton song. Check out “ Trio” Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt. You won’t be disappointed. 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼‼️

Good ol' country music, 3 chords and the truth. Joshua, is one of my favs by Dolly.
I’ve heard it so many times… it still makes me emotional 🥺
That coat is hanging in the museum at Dollywood

Guys- watch Dolly’s autobiographical movie, “ Coat of Many Colors”. It’s all true- a three room cabin and 11 siblings.
True story. 🥰🎸

You guys should react to Dolly singing Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.
This really happened to her when she was young
y'all so cute
Guys, listen to Trio (Dolly, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris).
I love Dolly. She gives so much to charity. She gives every child born in Tennessee their own book because her father was illiterate and she wants every child to own a book. Not many people know that Dolly donated 1 million dollars to research a COVID vaccine. She is a treasure.
Dolly made a Christmas movie about the story call Coat of many colors . It's a really good movie it probably about 5 or 6 yrs old
Dolly has only written thousands of songs so there is no bottom to this rabbit hole ☮️🌻❤️👵🏼
Bo Burnham's Country Song is AaMmazing!

If you like story telling singers and haven't heard Marty Robbins yet, try "El Paso", "Big Iron", and "Devil Woman".
True story. You should watch her movie of the same name. ❤️

And how Dolly told the story of her coat, from poverty, and casually wove in Joesph and his coat. God works in mysterious and small ways
