Dolly Parton is one of the most famous persons to have emerged from the American country music scene. This book presents an assessment of her music, as a songwriter and singer. It shows how she shrugged aside the male dominated world of Nashville in the 60s, to take hold of her career, and appear in films with Jane Fonda and Sylvester Stallone.
Dolly Parton is the most famous person ever to have emerged from the American country music scene, with her iconic cartoon image - mountainous blonde wigs, pumped up breasts and dazzling outfits. This is the first new and substantial biography for over 15 years. It contains interviews with family members, musicians and producers, who have worked with her over the years. A detailed assessment of her music, as a songwriter and singer over the last 40 years is presented. It shows how she shrugged aside the male dominated world of Nashville in the 1960s, to take hold of her career, sell millions of albums and appear in films with Jane Fonda, Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone. It will throw new light on her private life - her mysterious and closely guarded relationships with her husband Carl Dean and her lifelong friend Judy Ogle, and her obsession with cosmetic surgery.
