So good to have you here, Melissa.

Hi.
voice-verified
You got to speak with Dolly Parton in twenty twenty three.
voice-verified
The second time I believe was the last time you interviewed her was tied to the release of her duets album Rockstar.
voice-verified
Melissa, she didn't end up recording with Mick Jagger, but when you look at the shift of Dolly being recognized not only as the queen of country, which she was, but as a total rock star, what struck you most about her understanding of her own legacy?
voice-verified
When President Donald Trump said her death was like losing a close family member, ordering the lowering of American flags across the country, Dolly Parton was universally adored across generations, political lines, musical tastes.
voice-verified
How did she accomplish something so few public figures can?
voice-verified
I want to dig into her music.
voice-verified
It seems appropriate to start with her song Coat of Many Colors.
voice-verified
Why do you think that song has remained such a defining piece of Dolly Parton's story?
voice-verified
Listen, when you look across her catalog, is it clear why so many of her songs Jolene comes to mind still resonate decades after they were written?
voice-verified
Her song I Will Always Love You, it's known for both the film adaptation of the musical Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and for becoming a massive number one hit by Whitney Houston.
voice-verified
If someone only knew Dolly through her larger than life persona, what might they miss about her impact on other artists?
voice-verified
Dolly moved from country music into pop culture, movies, television, and as we've discussed, even rock music.
voice-verified
How unusual was her ability to transcend genres without losing who she was?
voice-verified
You know, I did want to ask about nine to five, the movie she started with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and of course wrote the iconic theme song for both were inspired by the Nine to Five National Association of Working Women.
voice-verified
And the song in the movie both spoke to issues facing working women at a time when those conversations
voice-verified
weren't always front and center.
voice-verified
Was this a woman an artist truly ahead of her time?
voice-verified
Dolly Parton was someone who belonged to all of us.
