Birth Of The Icon (s)
Today is a special day in the world of music for two huge icons, one of which owns to of her own icons, were born today - Miss Dolly Parton is a whopping 61 years today while Janis Joplin was also born on this day and would've been 64!I am a big fan of both of these women, and two women couldn't be more different, but you know that Miss Dolls and her big assets always gets me. Here's a few of her little gems to ponder - "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap" and one of my favs "I don't mind dumb blonde jokes cause I know I'm not really dumb and I sure know I'm not really blonde!"
So with the 61st birthday of a woman whose knitters have travelled back and forth from the country stage to the movie cinema to the backwoods roots of her upbringing, I gave you a list of the 61 best Dolly Parton songs ever!
