Dolly has such a unique singing voice. Some singers are great vocalist but without emotion, some without interpretation, and many just sing simply because they can. Dolly knows how to give life to the song she sings, all with emotion and interpretation.
One of my favorite Dolly songs. Her voice is just so pure in this and you can feel the emotion as if she really was singing for someone woman not to take her man
Great song! I was almost sure that The White Stripes didn't sung it first time in history:) Does anybody knows isn't it a folk music, that Dolly Parton has sung above? If so from wchich country?
@Rumban7 The music of the song is partially based in the style of country music Eastern Tennessee has to offer. I understand that English is maybe not your first language and so I hope you understand what I typed out okay. Have a nice day. :)
This song is a classic. Women of all ages, and races can relate to this song, whether they were in Dolly's shoes, or Jolene's...we've all been there at one point in time. It's an old story that continues to happen through out time.
dolly parton wrote this song because she had met a fan named jolene who was really beautiful, this didn't really happen but she loved the name and thought the woman was beautiful
@NativeStarr100 Yeah, not to be respectless but how on earth would your mom know that? Of course it's possible that Dolly only ruined her face with plastic surgery and compleately forgot her boobs that just happened to be big from birth. Sure... that seems likely, or what? I think she's plastic from top til toe, and that it's foolish to believe otherwise. look at her, she's trying to be barbie, and what does barbie got? Plastic boobs.
@Karate1337 She always had really big boobs. The size isn't so much exaggerated. She just wanted to keep them full and perky so she got fake ones that wouldn't sag.
A girl named Charlene took my man 5 years ago and I stiil think of her everytime this song plays, even though I know it's Jolene. She was beautiful too, fucking bitch.

Ok to all the people who are getting all defensive that Glee did not bring them here, there is nothing wrong with Glee. I was raised on Dolly's music and I also watch Glee and thought the glee version was very good, not as good as Dolly's but no one can really compare to her
Glee is an American tv show that focuses on the schools show choir who are all complete losers but amazing singers. The show choir struggles a lot but they truly are amazing. It's a national phenomenon and they sing on average 5 songs per episode. I love glee because it has a great message. Plus they sing all my gave songs and introduce some old ones like this to me. Their. I said it.
@x0x0ke You haven't ever even watched it, I only know that because Glee is basically about people like you who hate on things based on what you hear before you actually check it out yourself.
Well, I think it's actually good that people come from glee, because it shows the success of glee in allowing our younger folks to know classic older songs!
Dont get mad at other singers doing Dollys songs why they love her and big fans but Dolly shes a world lend and to me the best singer but other big singers as fans of Dolly too as Dolly said sing my songs the way you want be yourselfs sing them from your heart!!..GOOO DOLLY YOUR THE BEST!!
I love her and I love this song!!! She has been my favorite since I could understand what music was!!! No one will ever outdo Dolly!!! So you can try all you want but no one will EVER succeed!!! I want her to go to my 16th birthday party so bad but my mom calls me crazy!!! :(((
I am not a fan of country music. But I really dig this song and love Ms. Parton's sweet voice as she performs it. It would be hard not to like Ms. Parton she is a great song writer and singer as well.
I am 14 and iv been listening to this song and songs by the Beatles and bob Dylan and woody guthry oasis the kinks, you name it! since I was 4. So please next time you say my generation has no taste in music..think again, some of us do :)
@caitlincat4 Um every generation says that about the other every one has their own musical taste its a personal preference so yeah sorry to hear you guys have to deal with that :/ Anyways Ive known of this song since I was little but Glee did a very good cover :)
@caitlincat4 Dude.. I'm tired of seeing people saying "GLEE DIDN'T BRING ME HERE!". That's great, but if Glee DID bring you here, that's just as well. Glee is bringing people back to original songs like these. Isn't it just worth it to have more people like the songs you've been listening too? It shouldnt matter if you come from Glee or not, as long as you're enjoying the music, you should be welcomed rather than made fun of. Because that makes us Gleeks not want to listen to the original songs.
@caitlincat4 Good for you Girl! I'm proud that Glee did not bring you here as well, but that would have been okay. Good music is good and timeless, and I'm so happy that so many young people are appreciating the music we "old" people grew up with.
My name is Jolene, I was named after this song and my mom used to wake me up with this song playing full blast. I hated it, until recently anytime I meet older people they sing it to me and it makes me smile. I had an old gentleman on the phone at work tell me my name was gorgeous and he started singing this song to me. It honestly made my day!
@xenor6662 Two wrongs don't make a right..being truthful is always best for your mental health. I say dump Dolly..but be careful because you could run into the same problem with Jolene..think before you jump into anything hun
