Dolly Parton

She’s a buxom blonde with a pretty face, Who carries herself with such strength and grace. From the humblest of beginnings, she got her start Her songs are sweet poetry that comes from the heart. There’s power in her words and I am lifted up high By lovely songs like Silver and Gold and Love is like a Butterfly. And a Coat of Many Colors always brings a tear to my eye While working 9 to 5 leaves me feeling all revved up and alive. Dolly’s quite a storyteller and with the turn of a phrase She’ll wrap you up in her soft hearted ways. Full of glitz and glam, she’s quite a showgirl But she’s a down home country gal, in a showboat world. She writes about life experiences and what she sees Just the same as any poet, I’m sure you’ll agree And with a voice so sweet, steady and strong I hope her words will echo, on and on. © 06-29-2012 Dolly Parton For: What songwriter Inspires you Contest

I liked one of her earlier releases titled "Jolene". She is quite talented and you have described her well in this fine entry.

You're a Dolly Parton fan too, huh? That trembling saprano makes me week in the knees. My favs are "Here you come again" and "My blue ridge montain boy" Sounds like a winner, Tanya!
