Dolly Parton Wrote a Song Just For Johnny | Carson Tonight Show

Not only was Dolly always the smartest one in the room, but she was also secure enough to let you continue to think that you were.

She has a light within her that everyone can clearly see... Such a wonderful soul

Dolly Parton is indomitable, tough, strong and smart. “I'm not offended by dumb blonde jokes,“ she once said, “because I know that I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde.” In fact, Dolly has an IQ of 145. Love these two legends. I cried when Johnny died, such a classy host and decent man. So glad Dolly is still with us. You go, Dolly! Love you so much!

The ability to grab the guitar on a live show and fingerpick skillfully with those nails has earned even more of my respect. Nice work Dolly!

Makes me laugh how Dolly dials back her quick wit and intelligence in sympathy with whoever she's with. It's like she's around 6 steps ahead, politely waiting and looking back for you to catch up, but doing it with such sweetness that you never notice.

I’ve watched several interviews with her. She’s sharp as a tack. Knows exactly where she’s going to take the interview, and she doesn’t take any crap. She’s nice about but she’ll put the interviewers in their place real quick!

Definition of grace with enough country charm to make your knees buckle.

She is so witty and always finds ways to flip everything to be positive. More people should approach life like Dolly!

Even with all her other gifts, and her sparkling personality, I don't think Dolly gets enough credit as a songwriter.

She lights up a room! ❤️ Dolly is pure class.

I love Dolly. She is so genuine and fun. I loved Johnny's smile when she sang that sweet song in his honor. She is a living doll.

Fast-forward to August 2023 and Dolly Parton is as true to herself as ever. I grew up not too far away from her hometown and I spent a lot of time in that area. Dolly's a wonderful humanitarian. In 2016 wildfires spread throughout Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas and it was a tragedy of immense proportions. It was I believe the first time anyone in the area had ever seen wildfires there. It affected homes , businesses and the flora and fauna terribly. Some didn't get out in time. Dolly jumped in off the bat and she put together a program that compensated the people who needed help monetarily. She's a "juggernaut" for good when people are in need. We'll always be proud of Dolly Parton. She's strong, smart, confident and honest. How many celebs can you say that about? 🧡

You could tell Johnny really adored and respected her as an amazing person.

She’s just a naturally beautiful soul and can’t help but fall in love with her manner and smile!

She’s able to turn her accent into an instrument. This is impressive.

I think Dolly was put on Earth just to bring happiness and smiles to all of us. It really does seem she was born to entertain. ❤️

The singing partner that sued was Porter Wagner . He won his case. He later fell on hard times and had to sell his song rights, Dolly bought the songs and gifted them back to him. She sang I will always love you to him on his death bed.

She’s such a ray of sunshine, so talented.

There is something just so pure about her singing voice! She carries herself with this positive radiance and I just love it!!

Who could not love her? So smart, so gracious, and such a wonderful sense of humor. She has the most sunny personality and winning smile, and is simply beautiful inside and out. Dolly is an international treasure.
