🎵From her humble beginnings growing up in poverty in the Smoky Mountains to becoming one of the most beloved and influential artists in music history, Dolly Parton’s story is one of extraordinary determination, talent, and resilience. In this episode, we explore Dolly’s childhood and the family that shaped her, the early days of her career and her rise in country music, and the remarkable discography that helped turn her into a global icon. We also take a closer look at her complicated professional relationship with Porter Wagoner, including the legal battles that followed their split, and the remarkably private love story she shared with her husband, Carl Dean, for nearly six decades. This is the story behind the rhinestones and larger-than-life image—the struggles, relationships, risks, and songs that made Dolly Parton a legend.🎵 Dolly Parton Documentary: Chapters 0:00-6:53 Dolly’s Early Childhood 6:53-8:19 Tragedy Strikes 8:19-12:00 Dolly’s First Big Breaks 12:00-14:46 Dolly’s 1st few years in Nashville 14:46-17:48 Dolly and the Porter Wagoner Show 17:48-19:58 Porter Wagoner Freaks Out 19:58-22:37 ‘I Will Always Love You’ is Born 22:37-24:42 The Elvis Flop 24:42-26:00 ‘Jolene’ is Born 26:00-29:58 Porter Loses it Again 29:58-32:45 Dolly’s Success & Philanthropic Work 32:45-36:17 Kevin Costner & Whitney Houston enter the chat 36:17-40:00 More Charities & Legendary Work 🎶 Roots Music History | Music Journalist & YouTube Podcaster 🎶 🎸Stories of Divine Music Intervention 🎸 *Member of the US Press Association* 🇺🇸 On ROOTS, we dig up the roots that grew your favorite music.
