apparently she has said many times she took her inspiration from the local lady of the night that was in her town and she thought she was beautiful Grin

Did go to the Grand Ol' Opry

YANBU - I love Dolly. Go watch her singing "I will always love you" on Youtube and try not to bawl. Islands in the Stream was my wedding dance - though I felt a bit of fool as had just been done on Gavin & Stacy.

She's seriously clever, talented and seems like a lot of fun - a proper girls' girl even though her huge fake boobies might make you think the opposite.

I didn't know until last week that 'Islands in the Stream' was written by the Bee Gees.

I love a bit of Dolly
9 to 5 is my karaoke choice.

FunnyLittleFrog · 08/06/2012 17:51

Harper Valley PTA is an awesome song.

Love her. Grin

Very Envy of those who have been to Grand Ol' Opry

Meglet · 08/06/2012 17:53

yanbu.

I would love to go to Dollywood one day.

AuntLucyInPeru · 08/06/2012 17:56

I want to love her Grin. I love the few songs I know. C'mon - share a few YouTube links to the best ones to get me started!

Alphabetsy · 08/06/2012 21:58

I too lurve Dolly. Recently realised I'd being playing Jolene in the car far too much when my 5 yr old DS described his ginger haired friend as the one with 'flaming locks of auburn hair'! :)

Not my thing but a true rags to riches story and I suspect she is a hard as nails business woman when it comes to her brand. But she's survived in a hard business, amde a great career and influnced a generation of performers in that ilk

Little Sparrow and Coat of Many Colours make me cry...

LOVE Dolly.

rockinastocking · 08/06/2012 22:14

I love Dolly too.

Favourite songs are The Grass is Blue (goosebumps just typing that) and Here You Come Again.

She is wonderful.

It is on iplayer - that's my next hour of tv sorted!

Chelly71 · 08/06/2012 22:25

Love her and.... Met her! But I didn't realise at the time. Me and dh were at a wedding in missisippi(sp?) and in a big casino hotel. Got in a lift and 'dolly' said 'wow, you look amazing in that dress'. We chatted and I saw her agin later and we chatted about winning on the slots. I was pissed a bit drunk and told everyone about the dolly lookilike. The next morning we noticed she was headlining at the casino next door Blush

I could have had a real moment with her... My greatest regret

Armi · 08/06/2012 22:52

Ahem....Sky channel 168, Dolly on right now.

puds11 · 09/06/2012 10:22

Dollywood

puds11 · 09/06/2012 10:31

Oh ok. Does it actually have anything to do with dolly other than the name and country theme?

puds11 · 09/06/2012 10:32

Looks like fun mind!

Oh my, Dolly is the dogs...

My best mate and I went to a Dolly tribute two night's ago in Wellington, NZ. She's loved everywhere. Grin

ThePathanKhansWitch · 09/06/2012 10:41

YANBU. I love Dolly, and Musicals and Will Young. My gay friend says I'm a gay man stuck in a womans body, he may be correct.Grin.

She's great Dolly. I'd love to go to DollyLand.
