I use to think as you do about Dolly Parton until I saw her in concert. She is amazing. Dolly closed the show with the spiritual number "He's Alive". The audience was in tears as they jump to their feet to applaud and cheer.
The woman does have a fantastic voice. Her choise of material can sometimes be a drag.
My favorite song of all time, when performed by the songwriter, Don Francisco. Dolly's version is also top notch.
"He's Alive" is the only song Dolly has ever done worth listening to.
