Country Music Hall of Fame member Dolly Parton has enjoyed seemingly effortless success as a singer, songwriter, movie and television actor, author, businesswoman, and philanthropist ever since she first hit the record charts in 1967. The sheer magnitude of her talent and charisma has created the impression that Parton merely fulfilled her destiny in becoming an entertainment icon. But she had to fight for each major step forward.
Quite intentionally she broke precedents to follow her instincts, even when music industry veterans advised against her daring moves. This book is a companion to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s 2025–2026 exhibition on Parton. Like the exhibition, this book focuses on turning points in Parton’s life and career through the decades, where she overcame obstacles and ignored naysayers. It also includes stories behind four of Parton’s most well-known songs, in her own words: “Coat of Many Colors,” “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “9 to 5.”
Dolly Parton has come a long way from Locust Ridge, Tennessee, and in the process, she’s become one of the most beloved and widely recognized celebrities in the world.
Includes 85 archival images and artifact photographs.
