The Classic hit of Dolly Parton

“Jolene” is a classic country song written by Parton in 1973. The name Jolene came from a fan of hers, but the story was inspired by a true event in her life. This 1973 song was Parton’s most recorded single in her career. You can hear a lot of versions of this, even an a capella one.

Parton’s original version was nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in the Grammy’s. Then when she released a live version, it was also nominated for the same category on the Grammy’s. However, when the a capella group Pentatonix collaborated with her in 2016, their cover won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. It was a great performance indeed, but Parton should have won a solo award for her version too.

The original single topped the country chart, and it was also able to take spots on charts outside of the US. That’s why Parton’s song is not only known here but all over the world.
