Stormzy Speaks
Recently, Stormzy an English grime and hip hop artist, reviewed Parton’s “Jolene” track on Twitter and the results are hilarious. “Nah Dolly Parton was spitting some real real pain on Jolene,” he started off saying. “And Jolene sounds like she’s the baddest b to ever walk this planet.”
Dream Big
After singing in church as a kid, and also appearing on local radio and TV stations, Parton knew she was meant to be a star. At just age 13, she recorded the single “Puppy Love” on some small Louisiana label, Goldband Records, and went on to appear at the Grand Ole Opry, where she actually first met Johnny Cash! Cash encouraged her to follow her instincts and pursue her dreams as singer and songwriter.
