She is not just country she is the queen of music. She has written song for all genres! She is also not just the queen but she is a Legendary singer song writer, and a pioneer for women in music... all music!
Dolly’s mom actually made her a coat of many colors. She has a replica in her museum at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. So this is a true story about Dolly. My mother went to school with Dolly and had a class with her.
This song is an actual true story... All factual. Her mom tried to make her proud of the coat by telling about Joseph from the Bible. So, sweet the lesson. I'm so glad y'all can appreciate Dolly. She's a great artist and a sweet person, too.
Dolly, just singing her truth so beautifully like no one else. Although it certainly brings to mind Loretta and Coal Miner’s Daughter... just singing so eloquently about what they knew.
You represent your generation really well. Love your open mindedness, understanding and respect towards various genres of all times. This song happens to be one of my favorites. I’m not a massive country fan but I also love and appreciate all the same aspects of her songs and talent.
The gentleman sitting in the middle seams to have taken the song to heart. Looks like he truly felt Dollys message. I applaud all 3 of you for having open hearts.
It was dolly’s song from the beginning, she performed and recorded it in the 70s. Whitney Houston only covered it on the film body “bodyguard” but she did make it more famous. Also Elvis Presley wanted to cover it in 70s but for him to do that dolly had to sign the rights aways or something so Dolly refused. I love both versions of the song
The fact that she took stories that show how poor they were, and retold them so that others would understand that love triumphs and faith keeps us all.
This is a true story from Dolly's childhood. She and her family were literally dirt poor and her beloved Mama made her a patchwork coat from rags. I am so glad she was and still Is proud of her coat of many colours.
When I was ten and my little sister eight, Mom managed to scrape enough money together for two coats that were made of fake fur. We were so proud of those coats. They cost forty dollars each, which in the early 1980's was a fortune to two little kids. One day we had a fire at the school and I was pulled out of line from my class to go to my sister's class line. She was crying hysterically because we weren't allowed to stop and get our coats when evacuating, and she was horrified that her coat would burn since Mom worked so hard (three jobs) to get it. I told her Mom would buy us two of everything we lost as long as we came home unhurt. Later on, when told about the fire and such, Mom reiterated that she would buy us two of everything if we were safe. By the way, the fire was put out before it left the boiler room, so none of our stuff was damaged. It's not the same as Dolly's story, but I always remember that when I hear this song - - and how I always knew, and helped my sister see, that we were worth more than a hundred fur coats, real or otherwise.
That's why there's insurance. (You probably never would have gotten remunerated.) But your hearts are in the right place. Your momma bought them for you!♡
I do so hope that we can get to a point where even the poorest in our country don't have to work three jobs for any reason. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman ❤️
I am from Sevier County, TN, and worked at Dollywood in high school and college. Dolly gives every student in 3 high schools a $500 scholarship for graduating, (I graduated in 91, so that has been a lot of money since!), and then every child in Sevier County from birth to 5 recieves a hard back book with Imagination Express. She started with nothing...except the MOST important things - family, love, and faith. She has given back amazingly to her community. I appreciate SO much that you young guys appreciate her talent. 💗💗💗
Dolly has a program that parents can sign their young children up to receive books for free. She knows that some families are to poor to buy story books, she provides them.
MY Fave .. My mama was the daughter of a Coal Miner .. ( kids my granddaddy raised on that pay .. They grew up in a Shack But were happy for what they had
This song was turned into a children’s book that is used to talk about to children about bullying and Dolly is very proud of this as are all her fans❤️
Dolly is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. She has written over 3 thousand songs. She wrote 2 of her biggest songs Jolene and I will always love you on the same day!! She's great people too. When the guy who hired her to be the girl singer on his TV show when she was just starting out fell on hard financial times years later. He was forced to sell his song book to pay debts, Dolly bought it and then gave it back to him as a gift. And when Tennessee got all torn up by floods a few years back she gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars to people to help them rebuild and get back on their feet. She's 74 now and still performing. Keep those open minds fellas. Lots of great music in the world. Peace.
Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery to the Egyptians and then gave his “coat of many colors” to his father which they staged to make it look like he had been killed. 400 years later Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and back to their own country. I love your reactions. Thanks!
Dolly’s big heart reached out from the past and touched their hearts today. Beautiful. Thank you, young gentlemen, and thank you Dolly. She is an American treasure, just like Aretha.
I love that Dolly, especially, transcends all generations. These boys don't know who she really is (everything she's done) but she still draws a reaction of real respect.
When I was a child and laughed at because I was poor, I knew I was rich because I had a full belly and a safe place to sleep. Dolly sings songs for the poor and downtrodden of all kinds and colors. Her words speak to your heart. You fine young men keep up the good work and may your days be blessed in the right ways for you.
Mom made our clothes and when the pants got too short she would add a ruffle onto the bottom of the pants that matched one of our shirts. I thought I was stylin! I loved it.
I remember my mother doing that to my pants. Yup, I was made fun of. At an early age, I was taught consider the source. Maybe all they have are things but no love.
Dolly is Nashville’s version of Prince, without the weird ego problems and sexual addiction. Very spiritual, prolific, responsible for the success of countless artists, and is universally beloved.

@@KindraShalynnHaimberger You're right. Porter Wagoner was my best friend's godfather, & that's what she told me too. She also told me that Dolly is just as sweet and funny as she seems.
Kindra Shalynn Haimberger she tells the story about leaving the Porter Wagoner show and playing him that song to tell him she was leaving. It is the most beautiful story. It’s on the podcast Dolly Parton’s America. Can’t remember the episode number, but it’s so good!
Here I am blubbering like a fool-- normally, I'd read through the comments as I listen to the song, but this song demands that you stop and listen whole-heartedly! God bless Dolly and you boys for giving true musical artists a chance!
One of the things that impressed me the most about you two is that you recognize and appreciate talent in all types of music. That's a mark of honor in a young man. P.S. This is a many other Dolly Parton songs are based on her real life. Her mother really did make her a coat of many colors from rags of leftover fabric. She really was ridiculed.
As a music teacher who teaches all types of music I am so excited to see your love for Dolly! Way to be so open minded to all kinds of music guys! I will share your videos with my students to inspire them to listen to lots of musical genres. ❤️
I've heard this song hundreds of time and watching your reactions brought tears to my eyes. My mom used to sew and mend old clothes for all 9 of her children AND make what she called "crazy quilts" out of scraps of clothing. This song always brings back fond memories for me.
Yes it is!! I really recommend listening to hers AND the version by the song's writer, Kris Kristofferson (you guys might know him as an actor). The versions are very different but both great!
On the ‘Jolene’ video, you said you love ‘story songs’ (I do too). If you haven’t already heard it, check out Bobbie Gentry’s ‘Ode To Billie Joe’. It’s the _ultimate_ story song, and it might blow your mind. Seriously, it’s a stunning song with a story unlike anything else.
Ooooh yes!! I also love Allison Krause’s collaboration with Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin, also an amazing band they should react to) called Raising Sand. The whole album is banger. Gives me chills and has a lot of that bluegrass influence that Dolly Parton has.
Another channel reacted to it and he literally cried. It was so emotional, he used the opportunity to speak about mental illness and substance abuse and it was amazing but also very hard to watch.
Here's the thing about Dolly Parton - she is the richest country singer by a large margin with a net worth of over $500 million dollars, but she has NEVER forgotten where she came from. She has never been ashamed of it. One of the many reasons I love her so much is her self-deprecating humor One of my all-time favorite quotes from her is "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." Dolly's catalog of music is absolutely huge (over 3,000 songs), but this is my favorite song by far. It's so genuine and heartfelt. If it doesn't hit you in the feels it's quite possible you are simply devoid of a soul.
Good job Boys in remembering your Bible tales! There is always a message in the music of Dolly Parton. Another one I would suggest is Me and Little Andy.
Boys, I’m a 60 year old waitress from Illinois. I’m a mother, a grandmother and I am one of your biggest fans! When I realized you 2 loved Dolly, I was hooked. Keep it up. Love from Sue
Thank you for liking DOLLY PARTON. She is such a talented Lady. And she love God so much. She always do lots for others. And tonight you all did something for me. I am 66 grow up poor . My mama was always sewing for her 5 girls. And this brings me back. But we all het lots of love from our Mom. God bless you all. Thanks for being so respectful. Big hug from old lady.🤗🤗🤗
Yes, I love this song too. So many people wanted to see the original coat Dolly's mother made that she asked her mom if she still had it. She did not; it was probably worn out and thrown away at some point. But Dolly's mom found a photograph of the original coat, got a bunch of rags together, and sewed another one, just like the first. It is now in the Dolly Parton museum. Oh, and as for Dolly's guitar playing: Look close, and you will see that she does not play with a pick. She does not play with her fingertips. She plays with her FINGERNAILS. That takes an amazing level of skill.
This song just shows how incredible her life is, to go from a small cabin wearing a rag coat to donating a million to covid research. Also great video again guys, idk why these make me so happy but it's just great seeing people discover new music and I've heard a lot of new artists on the way
Dolly was born and raised in the mountains of Tennessee. When we had the horrible fires several years ago she gave so much of herself. Her money her time everything. She has a heart of gold. Her biggest joy is helping others. She has done so much for so many I couldn't begin to tell everything she's done. Please look up her biography. You'll be amazed at all she's done and continues to do. This is a great lady.💖💖💖
Your love for Dolly makes me smile. I grew up with her music-country and pop-as well as watched every movie she ever made. I can see you guys living her quote, “Figure out who you are, and do it on purpose.” Keep bringing that enthusiasm and open-mindedness, we’re loving it.
I remember when the world outside of Nashville discovered Dolly Parton. I was blown away the first time I saw her on Johnny Carson. I bought her first "cross-over" album, "Here You Come Again," then bought approximately 25 additional albums. At the time, growing up in a blue collar town, divided along ethnic lines (Polish vs. Italian), the musical genres my peers were into spanned from disco's dying days, to acid rock, to the beginnings of the punk movement. But, for me, the one thing that I loved, that the other kids made fun of was Dolly Parton. If you want a megadose of Dolly's "country goes to church" style, check out The Seeker. My mother listened to country music radio and this came on almost every time we got into the car. I was obsessed, even before I knew who Dolly was, or what the song was about. Keep up the good work, gentlemen. Your family must be very proud of you.
KUDOS to y'all parents 💯 They raised some good hearted young men!!!! Having an open mind & empathy is a rarity in most adults these days but u guys have already mastered both beautifully!!!! Dolly is a true storyteller who came from nothing & u guys got it without missing a beat!!!! Makes my ♥️ feel good folks like y'all in the world with my daughters!!!! Much ♥️ from Bama 🙋♀️💕
Awww the little brother has sweet facial reactions too.. I saw him rub his arms and I knew it was bc a note she had just sung gave him chills and idk if he even realized it 💙💙💙
I am just amazed at you young men. I love how you have an appreciation for not only Dolly's music, but all different genres of music. You don't judge, and you listen and watch with such genuine appreciation. I love how you keep everything positive and respectful. I watch your videos all the time, but when I've had a bad day, I especially turn you guys on and watch, and immediately I feel better. You seem to have a natural ability to bring people together. God bless you for that! :)
Dolly is quite the woman of philanthropy. She has given back to her community since she has "made it". She had Dollywood built which provided a lot of jobs in her hometown of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
@BSquared Fancy meeting you here! Funny that I mentioned Music Reaction Vids on the one I put up, just Yesterday, about "Discount lawyers," and "Juggling Conflicting Goals." Six min. Do let me know what you think of it, dear PATRIOT!
I lived in TN for half of my life about thirty minutes from Gatlinburg. My sister in law took care of Dolly's mom for many years when she got older. Dolly is an angel, down to earth, has taken care of her family and community, and especially children in need. One of a kind, a kind and beautiful soul.
She's singing about her life. She grew up dirt poor like you have no idea. I love watching you guys listening to these artists you've never heard of. Like you didn't know Dolly was country. Lol she is the queen of country. But I love how you banter, and really listen. You guy at great. Keep it up.
Everything Dolly does turns to gold... her sister once said in an interview that those very same people that made fun of her like to run up and give her hugs whenever she’s in town and pretend like they were best friends...she did a. Netflix series last year with several episodes revolving around some of her songs. I think you’d like them. I was glued
This is my favorite of all Dolly's songs. It's a true story from her life. Read up on her life when she was a kid; lots of brothers and sisters and very little money. It's why she gives books to so many kids.
Coat of Many Colors is a true story from her childhood. Your listening to all her old songs. This beautiful woman is now 74 yrs old and still going strong. She has so much talant. I will always live you is another song she wrote.
Please let the Williams' brother know that Joseph's brothers didn't KILL him. They sold him off to slavery, and many years later Joseph became the second most powerful man in Egypt after Pharaoh. Joseph ended up forgiving and saving his brothers and their families from famine and poverty. Joseph told his brothers: "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Still, I love these young men's sincere reaction to Dolly PARTON's beautiful song!
it's all about attitude. I didn't know I was "poor" until my oldest sister told me that we were poor. thank God I did not listen to her. In my mind we had enough to eat, wear and I had parents that loved me and we were clean and neat AND we went camping at a state park for 2 weeks every summer. we swam in a cold river, hiked, danced every night except Sunday in an open pavilion. we met so many great people and new friends from across the state of Texas. how could she say we were poor? my dad always told me I can do whatever I put my mind to and to ignore the haters. when I came home from school upset by what classmates said, he'd say, did you do your best? I said yes, then he'd smile and say then you can live in peace and hold your head up high. great job you guys! I love your channel.
I think what’s beautiful is it’s a true story. Her mother really did make her a coat from rags. Dolly is a beautiful soul who now gives back to children through many charities. She is without pretense and just genuinely wants to help others, she gets it because she’s been there.
This song makes me cry because it's so sweet. I kept something my grandmother made for me not because it was so beautiful but because she made it with love.
I know what you mean😊. I still have many sweaters that grandma made for me and I wear during winter. Many people compliment me on them but that is because grandma was so talented😃. May she rest in peace.
My mom was an only child, her mom, my Nana, taught me how to crochet & embroider from a very young age because my mom had been uninterested in all that. My family also made sure I learned to sew through 4-H starting at 8 years old. I taught myself to knit when I was 30. I love to make things for others. I still have many things Nana made, and I made things for the family from supplies she left me. It used to hurt when my family didn't treasure the things I make, because I can tell you that makers honestly do put love into every stitch. We think about the loved ones we're making for the entire time we're working, and hope they'll enjoy what we've made as much as we enjoyed creating something for them. My younger sister often put things I made for her children away for safekeeping, which drove me nuts, because I wanted my niece & nephew to use the things I made them. I had to learn to really let go when I made things, and stop having expectations of how they'd be used or appreciated. But I'm sure you've honored your grandmother well by cherishing what she made for you, and as long as you hold onto those items she made with her own 2 hands, you still touch her spirit and keep her love alive.
@@historianKelly Your life story is beautiful, too😊. I DO feel sorry that your loved ones don't appreciate your efforts. My grandma made some complicated crocheting patterns which I do appreciate and think of her when I put it on😄. I don't wear them too often so they don't wear out too quickly since they are irreplaceable. Even as a child, grandma sometimes made me clothes from patterns and I loved them. When they were too small, we sent them to our family and friends in Poland and they appreciated them. Even my crocheted dresses were appreciated there, too😃. KER, I would appreciate your work if I ever came across it. Homemade clothing and accessories are worth more to me than store bought items👍.
I love your reaction to Dolly’s songs. I am not a big country fan, but I have always loved Dolly. She is a special artist, because she is so honest and good hearted. There are only a few artists that transcend genres successfully and Dolly is one of those people. Plus as a business woman, she is a boss! She has written so many songs. She still owns, “And I will always love you,” so when Whitney covered the song, Dolly got paid!!! They are both beautiful renditions, but when you hear Dolly sing it, you get it. It’s fun to watch your generation enjoy this music. Great music is timeless!
People spend tens of thousands on their shoe collection, Dolly was lucky to get a pair of hand me downs without holes in them.. Dolly is the 4th of 12 children. They lived in a one room cabin. Her father was a sharecropper, poor farmer. She play 8 instruments and writes both lyrics and instrumentals. She allows other artists to record her songs but does not sell the rights to them. One song that has been a no. 1 song in 4 different decades was performed by Whitney Houston. “I Will Always Love You.”
From one twin to another(you two):LOVE you guys! And LOVE that you have your Bible stories straight too! Bless you and cherish what you have in each other and the vibe you’re giving others with this channel:THANK YOU!
That was a true story from her life. This song was one my Dad made us stop and listen to so we could keep ourselves humble and to be proud of what we have no matter what the circumstances. I think it’s a lesson all people need to learn. Thanks for the reaction guys! 👏🏼
Dolly sings that song for me too. I couldn't talk until I got a surgery at 14 years. There are lots of hardships and I recognize them all. But, when you're being beat to a pulp by a gang of boys because you can't talk, it's a whole new level of hell. It's why I hate injustice for ANYONE. I paid for injustice every day of my youth. I'm 68 years old now.
This story/song allllways makes me cry, I miss my mum. She passed away 4 years ago and the way Dolly talks about her in this song reminds me of how my mum taught us about love over possessions when we were little. So glad you boys love it. Keep broadening your horizons and being eager for new things ❤️❤️
***it was Joseph’s Brothers that we’re jealous of their fathers live for Joseph. So they sold Joseph into slavery and told his father that he was killed by a wild animal.
Things young kids are awsome .40s white male here.much respect.for taking time to listen to diffrent types of music .i myself love all music from. Dr.dre.emeinem are my favorites by the way.to elvis .dolly classical everything.you guys keep up good work.ill be watching and supporting you 100
I grew up poor, and my mother always made things for us from the things she could scrounge together, so this song always makes me cry. Dolly's voice is so sweet and vulnerable, you can hear that little girl in her voice as she sings.
So happy to see you reacting to this. It's beautiful how you are helping share music of generations. Congrats on GMA 👍😁 You on your way to 1 Mill for sure. Dolly grew up in Appalachain mountain area I believe. Need to check out Loretta Lynn and her sister Crystal Gayle beautiful female storytellers
"Didn't know she was country bro"
Dolly is the QUEEN of country.
Dolly is the queen, full stop tbh
No , she is more than that she is a nation treasure !!!! She is one of a kind and there will never be another.

she wrote the song to porter wagoner because she was trying to get off his show and make it on her own.
You mean the dolly parton song
She wrote I will Always Love You and Jolene in the same day.
It was Dolly’s song. Whitney asked Dolly for permission to sing it and Dolly said yes. The original version is Dolly.
Their older brothers trying to act all hard but I swear I saw him tearing up. We get you, that song is emotional.
The fact that she took stories that show how poor they were, and retold them so that others would understand that love triumphs and faith keeps us all.
Well said!

Dolly has a program that parents can sign their young children up to receive books for free. She knows that some families are to poor to buy story books, she provides them.
For a great "story song" from another country legend, check out "Coal Miner's Daughter" by Loretta Lynn.
Also an amazing movie starring Sissy Spacek.

This is a true story. Dolly was born in TN: one of 12 kids.
Her father was illiterate and was a sharecropper when she was born. He paid the doctor who helped deliver her with a bag of corn meal.
wimpact.wow! I did not know that! Ty

And Joseph became like a prime minister in Egypt (second to the Pharaoh) and was able to save the whole family of Jacob from a famine.

Lottie Faith omg my mother did too I loved my pants with the ruffles I didn’t know why I thought it was just because I always loved girly things
My mom sewed a wide groovy ribbon around the bottom of mine back in the 70s.
I remember my mother doing that to my pants. Yup, I was made fun of. At an early age, I was taught consider the source. Maybe all they have are things but no love.

@@KindraShalynnHaimberger You're right. Porter Wagoner was my best friend's godfather, & that's what she told me too. She also told me that Dolly is just as sweet and funny as she seems.
Kindra Shalynn Haimberger she tells the story about leaving the Porter Wagoner show and playing him that song to tell him she was leaving. It is the most beautiful story. It’s on the podcast Dolly Parton’s America. Can’t remember the episode number, but it’s so good!
@@rachelbarber8814 I think it was actually about Porter Wagner.
Here I am blubbering like a fool-- normally, I'd read through the comments as I listen to the song, but this song demands that you stop and listen whole-heartedly! God bless Dolly and you boys for giving true musical artists a chance!
Harper Valley PTA - Jeanne C. Reilly, that's a good story.
I HATE that Song! 😬 👎
Lmao! 😝 😂
Definitely, I'd love to hear their reaction
thanks, just watched it,
@@Military450Veteran I can see how that could happen but I find it funny.
@@simonesmit6708 Huh?? 😬
WHAT could happen?? 😨
One of the things that impressed me the most about you two is that you recognize and appreciate talent in all types of music. That's a mark of honor in a young man.
P.S.
This is a many other Dolly Parton songs are based on her real life. Her mother really did make her a coat of many colors from rags of leftover fabric. She really was ridiculed.
As a music teacher who teaches all types of music I am so excited to see your love for Dolly! Way to be so open minded to all kinds of music guys! I will share your videos with my students to inspire them to listen to lots of musical genres. ❤️
I've heard this song hundreds of time and watching your reactions brought tears to my eyes. My mom used to sew and mend old clothes for all 9 of her children AND make what she called "crazy quilts" out of scraps of clothing. This song always brings back fond memories for me.
If y’all haven’t listened to me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin, that’s another great song.
Yes it is!! I really recommend listening to hers AND the version by the song's writer, Kris Kristofferson (you guys might know him as an actor). The versions are very different but both great!
Should definitely listen that!
Me and Bobby AND Summertime by Janis Joplin!
Kristofferson actually pushed Janis to make a rendition of Me and Bobby McGee. He liked her version better.
Guys.....please listen to Janis Joplin!
What is great about Dolly is that her music touches all ages and all cultures
Aww that was great guys!!
Johnny Cash " a boy named Sue" if you want a great story and a laugh!!💜
Yes that is a good one, so is One Piece at a Time.
GREAT recommendation! Definitely, @twinsthenewtrend listen to that song!!! I *promise* you won't regret it!
Gotta agree about “A Boy Named Sue.” I think these guys would sync with that sentiment-pathos plus irony plus irreverence, wrapped up into one song.
Good one. They would pause after every line to laugh at the lyrics!
Yes, yes, yes!
I love how effortless she makes playing the guitar and singing look. She’s such a classy pro.
On the ‘Jolene’ video, you said you love ‘story songs’ (I do too). If you haven’t already heard it, check out Bobbie Gentry’s ‘Ode To Billie Joe’. It’s the _ultimate_ story song, and it might blow your mind. Seriously, it’s a stunning song with a story unlike anything else.
Hell yea! A song like no other.
It really set the template for all the others. i love Fancy, too.
What do you think they threw over the bridge? I love the song too.. ppl get different meanings of it, especially after the movie
Yes! Oh my god, I forgot I loved that song when I was a kid!
I've heard that song over a
hundred times. And every time
I get drawn into it's haunting
story.
I'm sobbing, your genuine love for Dolly Parton is so pure and it makes me believe again wow
Y'all like storytelling you'd like Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn. Or just about anything by her.
Ooh this is a great suggestion! And Patsy Cline too.
This was a true story in her life. Beautiful song.
This was my mom's fave song by Dolly (RIP mom 2015) Thank you for being so respectful just in general. Damn I love you boys!! Seriously!❤
I love when young generations reacts to country songs.great reaction guys thank you Dolly is one of my favorite singer!!!
Allison Krause and Brad Paisley. " Whiskey lullaby"
yes!
Ooooh yes!! I also love Allison Krause’s collaboration with Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin, also an amazing band they should react to) called Raising Sand. The whole album is banger. Gives me chills and has a lot of that bluegrass influence that Dolly Parton has.
Another channel reacted to it and he literally cried. It was so emotional, he used the opportunity to speak about mental illness and substance abuse and it was amazing but also very hard to watch.
I ❤️ that song!
The song makes me cry, especially after seeing the video, it's heartbreaking.
Here's the thing about Dolly Parton - she is the richest country singer by a large margin with a net worth of over $500 million dollars, but she has NEVER forgotten where she came from. She has never been ashamed of it. One of the many reasons I love her so much is her self-deprecating humor One of my all-time favorite quotes from her is "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." Dolly's catalog of music is absolutely huge (over 3,000 songs), but this is my favorite song by far. It's so genuine and heartfelt. If it doesn't hit you in the feels it's quite possible you are simply devoid of a soul.
Good job Boys in remembering your Bible tales! There is always a message in the music of Dolly Parton. Another one I would suggest is Me and Little Andy.
When I was a kid, I loved that song.
Boys, I’m a 60 year old waitress from Illinois. I’m a mother, a grandmother and I am one of your biggest fans! When I realized you 2 loved Dolly, I was hooked. Keep it up. Love from Sue
Thank you for liking DOLLY PARTON.
She is such a talented Lady.
And she love God so much.
She always do lots for others. And tonight you all did something for me.
I am 66 grow up poor .
My mama was always sewing for her 5 girls.
And this brings me back.
But we all het lots of love from our Mom.
God bless you all.
Thanks for being so respectful.
Big hug from old lady.🤗🤗🤗
Yes, I love this song too. So many people wanted to see the original coat Dolly's mother made that she asked her mom if she still had it. She did not; it was probably worn out and thrown away at some point. But Dolly's mom found a photograph of the original coat, got a bunch of rags together, and sewed another one, just like the first. It is now in the Dolly Parton museum.
Oh, and as for Dolly's guitar playing: Look close, and you will see that she does not play with a pick. She does not play with her fingertips. She plays with her FINGERNAILS. That takes an amazing level of skill.
This song just shows how incredible her life is, to go from a small cabin wearing a rag coat to donating a million to covid research. Also great video again guys, idk why these make me so happy but it's just great seeing people discover new music and I've heard a lot of new artists on the way
She is an amazing songwriter. She grew up very poor and most of her songs come from her life experiences. Her words always cut deep.
“ The Night the lights went out in Georgia “...great story.
That's a great story song. I always got chills listening to that song.
Dolly was born and raised in the mountains of Tennessee. When we had the horrible fires several years ago she gave so much of herself. Her money her time everything. She has a heart of gold. Her biggest joy is helping others. She has done so much for so many I couldn't begin to tell everything she's done. Please look up her biography. You'll be amazed at all she's done and continues to do. This is a great lady.💖💖💖
Dolly came from very humble and poor beginnings and look how far she has come it's incredibly amazing💎 just love you guys💖💖💖✌
Dolly Parton is a wonderfully caring and devoted person. She has donated millions to charity and runs a free book program for children.
She's an excellent storyteller! And a superb songwriter. I'm glad y'all appreciate Dolly -- she's a treasure.
Your love for Dolly makes me smile. I grew up with her music-country and pop-as well as watched every movie she ever made. I can see you guys living her quote, “Figure out who you are, and do it on purpose.” Keep bringing that enthusiasm and open-mindedness, we’re loving it.
You kids need to react to The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
Whoa! Nice one. Boy they make me feel old 😂
@@sibbylou me too but I love how they create a bridge of humanity.
Yes! That one!
The original version by Vickie Lawrence.
I remember when the world outside of Nashville discovered Dolly Parton. I was blown away the first time I saw her on Johnny Carson. I bought her first "cross-over" album, "Here You Come Again," then bought approximately 25 additional albums. At the time, growing up in a blue collar town, divided along ethnic lines (Polish vs. Italian), the musical genres my peers were into spanned from disco's dying days, to acid rock, to the beginnings of the punk movement. But, for me, the one thing that I loved, that the other kids made fun of was Dolly Parton.
If you want a megadose of Dolly's "country goes to church" style, check out The Seeker. My mother listened to country music radio and this came on almost every time we got into the car. I was obsessed, even before I knew who Dolly was, or what the song was about.
Keep up the good work, gentlemen. Your family must be very proud of you.
KUDOS to y'all parents 💯 They raised some good hearted young men!!!! Having an open mind & empathy is a rarity in most adults these days but u guys have already mastered both beautifully!!!! Dolly is a true storyteller who came from nothing & u guys got it without missing a beat!!!! Makes my ♥️ feel good folks like y'all in the world with my daughters!!!! Much ♥️ from Bama 🙋♀️💕
Awww the little brother has sweet facial reactions too.. I saw him rub his arms and I knew it was bc a note she had just sung gave him chills and idk if he even realized it 💙💙💙
I am just amazed at you young men. I love how you have an appreciation for not only Dolly's music, but all different genres of music. You don't judge, and you listen and watch with such genuine appreciation. I love how you keep everything positive and respectful. I watch your videos all the time, but when I've had a bad day, I especially turn you guys on and watch, and immediately I feel better. You seem to have a natural ability to bring people together. God bless you for that! :)
Dolly is quite the woman of philanthropy. She has given back to her community since she has "made it". She had Dollywood built which provided a lot of jobs in her hometown of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
You young men are all wonderful and a joy to watch, even more so than the broad variety of music shared with the world. Ty 🤗🤗🤗 🙏🏻 🌈
Right?? I adore them!!!! Such broad minds!!
@BSquared Fancy meeting you here! Funny that I mentioned Music Reaction Vids on the one I put up, just Yesterday, about "Discount lawyers," and "Juggling Conflicting Goals." Six min. Do let me know what you think of it, dear PATRIOT!
I lived in TN for half of my life about thirty minutes from Gatlinburg. My sister in law took care of Dolly's mom for many years when she got older. Dolly is an angel, down to earth, has taken care of her family and community, and especially children in need. One of a kind, a kind and beautiful soul.
Nice to see young folks “get it” and appreciate all kinds of music and understand the message!
She's singing about her life. She grew up dirt poor like you have no idea. I love watching you guys listening to these artists you've never heard of. Like you didn't know Dolly was country. Lol she is the queen of country. But I love how you banter, and really listen. You guy at great. Keep it up.
She is a great story teller. Have you listened to any of her duets that she did with Kenny Rodgers?
Do you listen to Evanescence?
How about Dolly and Portner Wagner, her duet partner before Kenny
Sherri Howe
I ❤ islands in the stream 😍👍👌
Agreed. Her duets with Kenny are the best.
Kenny and her are legends❤️
I still get choked up every time I hear her perform this. Dolly is an angel, I'm certain. She gives back and spreads so much joy.
You should listen to “Sunday Morning Coming Down” by Kris Kristofferson. It’s one of the most heart breaking songs.
Listen to tea and toast By Lucy Spraggan
Yes please he has a beautiful voice
I much prefer, “Why Me Lord.”
Everything Dolly does turns to gold... her sister once said in an interview that those very same people that made fun of her like to run up and give her hugs whenever she’s in town and pretend like they were best friends...she did a. Netflix series last year with several episodes revolving around some of her songs. I think you’d like them. I was glued
I saw the one in back react like he had chills. It's wonderful when a song can move you like that, isn't it?
This is my favorite of all Dolly's songs. It's a true story from her life. Read up on her life when she was a kid; lots of brothers and sisters and very little money. It's why she gives books to so many kids.
OmG my eyes are tearing up. I’m so glad y’all did this song!
I love these young men. They appreciate difference. Wonderful
This song netted her her first million dollar royalty check.
Good :)
Mama still "blessed it with a kiss."
Coat of Many Colors is a true story from her childhood. Your listening to all her old songs. This beautiful woman is now 74 yrs old and still going strong. She has so much talant. I will always live you is another song she wrote.
"Ode to Billie Joe" is a song written and recorded by Bobbie Gentry, Check it out
Yes this is a must!
YES!
Please let the Williams' brother know that Joseph's brothers didn't KILL him. They sold him off to slavery, and many years later Joseph became the second most powerful man in Egypt after Pharaoh. Joseph ended up forgiving and saving his brothers and their families from famine and poverty. Joseph told his brothers: "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Still, I love these young men's sincere reaction to Dolly PARTON's beautiful song!
it's all about attitude. I didn't know I was "poor" until my oldest sister told me that we were poor. thank God I did not listen to her. In my mind we had enough to eat, wear and I had parents that loved me and we were clean and neat AND we went camping at a state park for 2 weeks every summer. we swam in a cold river, hiked, danced every night except Sunday in an open pavilion. we met so many great people and new friends from across the state of Texas. how could she say we were poor? my dad always told me I can do whatever I put my mind to and to ignore the haters. when I came home from school upset by what classmates said, he'd say, did you do your best? I said yes, then he'd smile and say then you can live in peace and hold your head up high. great job you guys! I love your channel.
I think what’s beautiful is it’s a true story. Her mother really did make her a coat from rags. Dolly is a beautiful soul who now gives back to children through many charities. She is without pretense and just genuinely wants to help others, she gets it because she’s been there.
This song makes me cry because it's so sweet. I kept something my grandmother made for me not because it was so beautiful but because she made it with love.
I know what you mean😊. I still have many sweaters that grandma made for me and I wear during winter. Many people compliment me on them but that is because grandma was so talented😃. May she rest in peace.
My mom was an only child, her mom, my Nana, taught me how to crochet & embroider from a very young age because my mom had been uninterested in all that. My family also made sure I learned to sew through 4-H starting at 8 years old. I taught myself to knit when I was 30. I love to make things for others. I still have many things Nana made, and I made things for the family from supplies she left me. It used to hurt when my family didn't treasure the things I make, because I can tell you that makers honestly do put love into every stitch. We think about the loved ones we're making for the entire time we're working, and hope they'll enjoy what we've made as much as we enjoyed creating something for them. My younger sister often put things I made for her children away for safekeeping, which drove me nuts, because I wanted my niece & nephew to use the things I made them. I had to learn to really let go when I made things, and stop having expectations of how they'd be used or appreciated. But I'm sure you've honored your grandmother well by cherishing what she made for you, and as long as you hold onto those items she made with her own 2 hands, you still touch her spirit and keep her love alive.
@@historianKelly Your life story is beautiful, too😊. I DO feel sorry that your loved ones don't appreciate your efforts. My grandma made some complicated crocheting patterns which I do appreciate and think of her when I put it on😄. I don't wear them too often so they don't wear out too quickly since they are irreplaceable. Even as a child, grandma sometimes made me clothes from patterns and I loved them. When they were too small, we sent them to our family and friends in Poland and they appreciated them. Even my crocheted dresses were appreciated there, too😃.
KER, I would appreciate your work if I ever came across it. Homemade clothing and accessories are worth more to me than store bought items👍.
I love your reaction to Dolly’s songs. I am not a big country fan, but I have always loved Dolly. She is a special artist, because she is so honest and good hearted. There are only a few artists that transcend genres successfully and Dolly is one of those people. Plus as a business woman, she is a boss! She has written so many songs. She still owns, “And I will always love you,” so when Whitney covered the song, Dolly got paid!!! They are both beautiful renditions, but when you hear Dolly sing it, you get it. It’s fun to watch your generation enjoy this music. Great music is timeless!
And she wrote and sang "I will always love you" long before Whitney remade it for the movie The Bodyguard
Coat of many colours always makes me cry, when you're so poor but your family is so full of love it transcends the materialism of the world.
I love how their faces are so expressive. You can tell they truly appreciate music and respect the artists.
People spend tens of thousands on their shoe collection, Dolly was lucky to get a pair of hand me downs without holes in them.. Dolly is the 4th of 12 children. They lived in a one room cabin. Her father was a sharecropper, poor farmer. She play 8 instruments and writes both lyrics and instrumentals. She allows other artists to record her songs but does not sell the rights to them. One song that has been a no. 1 song in 4 different decades was performed by Whitney Houston. “I Will Always Love You.”
Pop and country music is Dolly. Born in extreme poverty in Tennessee, she continues to grace us with her talent
Love Dolly, she's done so much for charity too. Would love to see reactions to Sinead O'Connor, Nothing compares to you and En Vogue, Free your mind ❤
Both AWESOME songs!
I asked for Sinead’song too. I am waiting for it
Yes Sinead O'Connor
From one twin to another(you two):LOVE you guys! And LOVE that you have your Bible stories straight too! Bless you and cherish what you have in each other and the vibe you’re giving others with this channel:THANK YOU!
That was a true story from her life. This song was one my Dad made us stop and listen to so we could keep ourselves humble and to be proud of what we have no matter what the circumstances.
I think it’s a lesson all people need to learn.
Thanks for the reaction guys! 👏🏼
Dolly sings that song for me too. I couldn't talk until I got a surgery at 14 years. There are lots of hardships and I recognize them all. But, when you're being beat to a pulp by a gang of boys because you can't talk, it's a whole new level of hell. It's why I hate injustice for ANYONE. I paid for injustice every day of my youth. I'm 68 years old now.
This story/song allllways makes me cry, I miss my mum. She passed away 4 years ago and the way Dolly talks about her in this song reminds me of how my mum taught us about love over possessions when we were little. So glad you boys love it. Keep broadening your horizons and being eager for new things ❤️❤️
***it was Joseph’s Brothers that we’re jealous of their fathers live for Joseph. So they sold Joseph into slavery and told his father that he was killed by a wild animal.
Things young kids are awsome .40s white male here.much respect.for taking time to listen to diffrent types of music .i myself love all music from. Dr.dre.emeinem are my favorites by the way.to elvis .dolly classical everything.you guys keep up good work.ill be watching and supporting you 100
Fun fact, lifetime channel made a movie called "coat of many colors" in honor of this song. It was pretty good. I ❤ Dolly.
Incredible song!!! I LOVE Dolly!! Glad you experienced it and shared. Impressed with your bible knowledge.👊🏻🙏🏻
Thanks again boys for another great Golden Oldie, stay safe, strong safe, from Europe!
I grew up poor, and my mother always made things for us from the things she could scrounge together, so this song always makes me cry. Dolly's voice is so sweet and vulnerable, you can hear that little girl in her voice as she sings.
So happy to see you reacting to this. It's beautiful how you are helping share music of generations. Congrats on GMA 👍😁
You on your way to 1 Mill for sure.
Dolly grew up in Appalachain mountain area I believe.
Need to check out Loretta Lynn and her sister Crystal Gayle beautiful female storytellers
