  1. Dolly was the best of us, as a species even.

    If you don't know Morgan Myles, the god wink of her being a fill-in at the Grand Ole Opry the night we learned of Dolly's death, well, just this (tissue alert):

  2. Me: the US date format is so stupid! Virtually everyone else uses DD/MM/YYYY, and doing it MM/DD/YYYY serves no purpose and makes no sense!
    Also me: I am totally on board with making the 25th of September Dolly Parton day! After all, in the MM/DD/YYYY date format that reads 9/25 so it makes perfect sense!

  3. R.I.P. Dolly Parton (1946-2026)

    Country Music isn’t really my thing, but I was very sad when I heard the news a couple of days ago about the death of Dolly Parton. So sad, in fact, that I felt I had to wait a while before posting anything. I have little to add to the obituaries about her now, but I’ll just mention some things that I liked about her. O

    ne was that she was totally accepting of the LGBTQ+ people, which is why she was adopted so enthusiastically even by people like me who aren’t really country music fans. Her unoffocial motto was “Find out who you are and do it on purpose”. That is admirable advice. Even during the ongoing backlash of bigotry she stood her ground. For that alone I would mourn her passing.

    The second thing that I should say mention is her philanthropy. She was a tireless supporter of good causes, especially her wonderful Imagination Library (which has had a branch in the Republic of Ireland since 2019). This exists to encourage young children to read by giving them free books. Here in Ireland An Post delivers them for free too. As well as this and other public initiatives there are countless private acts of kindness, little gifts and words of encouragement. These days it seems unfashionable to be both rich and generous. Certainly one can’t imagine Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos and their ilk giving any of their vast fortunes to any good cause.

    Another thing about Dolly Parton that I adored was her self-deprecating humour. I regularly saw her on TV disarming someone who tried to mock her style and appearance by parodying herself. She always seemed to be down-to-earth and completely without pretentions. Of course I never met Dolly Parton, but I really think I would have liked her if I had.

    I’ve already stated that I am not the biggest fan of Country Music but some of Dolly Parton’s songs crossed over and became huge popular hits. This one is one that I really do like. This is the original version of I Will Always Love You later covered by Whitney Houston, but I like it this version better. Incidentally, it was written on the same day as another smash hit of hers, Jolene.

  4. With the passing of Dolly Parton, the world became a little bit less wonderful. I could quite quickly run out of superlatives in trying to describe her. If I had to pick out one fact about how truly amazing she was, I would be torn between her personal donations to help develop the Moderna COVID vaccine and her book buying program to ensure kids learn to love reading. As for a personal quote of hers that always makes me smile, I’ll go with this: "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb - and I'm not blonde either." Sleep well Dolly, I will always love you!

  8. I Will Always Love You – Dolly Parton vs. Whitney Houston

    Dolly Parton wrote it. Whitney Houston redefined it. Two versions of I Will Always Love You pull in different emotional directions—one intimate, one explosive. But when they collide, which one comes out on top?

  9. I've listened to this way too many times and yet I can't find words to describe it in a way that would be just, so I leave it to you to hear what I too have in mind:

  11. As I sit back and let the soulful notes of the drug-addicted Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" wash over me, I'm transported down memory lane to a time when life felt simpler and the world was full of possibilities. The 1990s were a magical era, filled with unforgettable moments and cherished friendships.

    I can vividly recall those carefree days spent with friends, laughing and dancing to our favourite tunes, the air thick with nostalgia and the promise of youth. Each lyric resonates deeply, reminding me of the love stories and heartaches that shaped us.

    Just like the memories stirred by that last video, this song brings back late-night conversations, the excitement of our first crushes, and the joy of simply being together. It truly was the time of our lives. So, let’s keep the threads of nostalgia alive and celebrate those moments and the music that defined our youth.

    Do you remember who you danced with to the sounds of drug-addicted Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"? When the song blared across the dance floor, did you manage to steal a kiss as you had hoped?

    If I should stay

    ARTIST: Whitney Houston
    WRITERS: Dolly Parton: tube.reck.dk/w/jRn9m3DpLpFFzc2

    Origianl by Dolly Parton: tube.reck.dk/w/jRn9m3DpLpFFzc2

    "I Will Always Love You" is a song written and originally recorded in 1973 by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. Written as a farewell to her business partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, expressing Parton's decision to pursue a solo career, the country single was released in 1974. The song was a commercial success for Parton, twice reaching the top spot of Billboard Hot Country Songs: first in June 1974, then again in October 1982, with a re-recording for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas soundtrack.

    Whitney Houston recorded a soul-ballad arrangement of the song for the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Houston's version peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a then-record-breaking 14 weeks. The single was certified Diamond by the RIAA, making Houston's first Diamond single, the third female artist who had both a Diamond single and a Diamond album, and becoming the best-selling single by a woman in the U.S. The song was a global success, topping the charts in almost all countries. With over 20 million copies sold it became the best-selling single of all time by a female solo artist. Houston won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1994 for "I Will Always Love You".
