DOLLY PARTON - SMOKY MOUNTAIN MEMORIES - Best Version Ever

[Loejyrrab]

I'm struck by her beauty. What a cutie pie.

[yu3p2x1]

Many people love this song and yet it is still one of the most underestimated songs of all time.

[Caefus]

I so love this. ....what class! 

[TheTonypops]

this song makes me so home sick

[katewinslet1912]

Have seen her perform this 3 times on her Australian tour. Am such a big fan of it now. Beautiful. Great pics here too, thank you :)

[wpscheercuti]

My family lives in East Tennessee right next to the Smokys. 45 minutes from Sevierville,well I was on facebook the other day and found a surprise. My brother whose currently in Iraq had posted this exact video on my wall and said 'I want to be home sissy' He's about to come home and we can't wait! Love Dolly and her music is so powerful!

[dollyaddict]

@wpscheercuti that is so wonderful, this is the first video I ever made & it's my favourite dolly song, so happy your brother is coming home soon, happy that you love this song, thanks for commenting..

[19Unity]

@wpscheercuti Bless his heart!

[TheTonypops]

@wpscheercuti im so happy for u that he will be home soon. GODS SPEED.

[IreneH55]

@wpscheercuti I live real close to the Smokies, with family scattered from there to here, up in the far corner of TN with mountains all around. Heck, we might be related! (:-)

[oen123]

She just can't do anything bad to me, i love her voice. THE BEST CONCERT I EVER SAW!! You just want to give her a big hug, what a down to earth person and a wonderful soul!!

[zorrgal]

One of the greatest songwriters among others like Dylan and Springsteen.

[dollyaddict]

@zorrgal Amen

[DOLLYWAYNE38]

@dollyaddict Do you know the yr she first did this, because it's 1 of her purest simple & true autobiographical. In Country Music Encyclopaedia the author said her career was categorized by several phases (1) Autobiographic, (2) Lyrically Retrospective (3) All out for Pop audiences. If the book were to be rewritten he would have to say (4) Par-down bluegrass (5) Return to middle of the country. She is without a doubt the best. Show me one songwriter in any genre would can write like her. NONE

[markypercy]

we come from a small town in England and every 2 years come to Pigeon Forge, TN,

area is beautiful, people lovely, coming back in 2012, this song just sums up exactly why we love it.

[888kimy]

this is a reason i don't leave my folks...I'm the youngest and though people who knows me, like some mentors offerring jobs, would tell me i'd go far and reach some success, i won't. i'll try it here, in our little province, with my folks beside me, being taken care of.

[dollynutter]

Quite possibly my all time fav dolly song (thou ive prob said this before! :$) I was watching carly simon recently and there is no doubt her voice is uncomparable to its former glory (see Let the waters flow) but in sharp contrast Dolly just gets better with age, she is possibly at her zenith right now, bring on the betterday tour!!!!

[ReceiveChristToday]

lovely

[NonaTut]

One of my all time favs by Dolly. This one always makes me cry. She really delivers the "emotion" of a song. Love her dearly!

[Bidyyy]

[tgoins97]

[orytina]

[evanruutana]

[SuperTiaBaby]

-0:41 is she staring at George Jones? xx.

[dollyaddict]

@SuperTiaBaby I actually don't know who that is, but what a great photo, you can really see the mutual respect, a great moment captured in time.

[SuperTiaBaby]

@dollyaddict -Yes that is so true. It is a great moment captured in time xx.

[ConditionOfAnonymity]

My Lord my Lord, what a beautiful lady, and moreso beautiful song. an absolutely angelica voice, Dolly is my hero...

[dollyaddict]

@ConditionOfAnonymity isn't she just, this is my favourite first loved Dolly song, she wrote it from her Dads perspective, this is the 1st video I posted, thank you for your comment & support

[ConditionOfAnonymity]

@dollyaddict , my pleasure, this happens to be my favorites also. great job on these videos. maybe one day i'll take the time to upload some others that's hard to find.

[dollyaddict]

@ConditionOfAnonymity well said, she sure is something else, thank you for your comment

[Thunderhead925]

I could honestly listen to her belt out a note for at least an hour!

[curbshoppin]

dolly is the spirit that mends music into a soothing wave for all to enjoy the old the young the week the poor and the strong....all can relate

[kimyMore1]

i become familiar of her since i loved the version of david archie.

and now i believe that i really have that affinity with classic and authentic performers.

she's great, i even mimic the way she sings and my friends apreciate it.

[rlbrown29]

When I was a kid I would always listen to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline with my grandparents. I am 30 now and I still listen to them. They bring back many memories for me.

[SuperTiaBaby]

It's just so powerful x

[LGandNDFan]

Beautifull song and I like the pictures in the video :)

[buckeyebuzzard7]

Dolly is my favorite female country singer and she has a beautiful heart and is a very down to earth person.

[SuperNelson1805]

Great respect to you dolladixt. I've been in country and Dolly denial all of my life and I'm just coming out of the closet!! I'll be viewing a great deal more from ow on.

[Tinyoak2]

My mother is from macon, GA and she use to sing in a local country band. I grew up on her singing Dolly so this reminds me of her every time I hear it.

[katarique]

i just have to say, aside from loving dolly parton, i love that michael jackson is in this one. two of my loves.  peace

[scryingt]

I've been a Dolly fan my whole life! Check out 0:51, looks like Penelope Cruz in a platinum wig!! I LOVE Dolly's wigs, too!!

[1953retro]

[ray69play]

Even though dolly's before my time and Im not into country music she has a great voice and writes nice songs and she's hot even now days she really keeps up with herself I love you dolly thanks for being with us for all these years and to whomever post'ed thanks for having good teast in music!

[dollyaddict]

The world would b a sadder place without beautiful dolly - Thanks for the comment - I hope you get a chance to check out some of the many vids I have made of the beautiful Dolly Parton - stop by whenever you need a dolly fix

[GreatestSingerEver01]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Pure and beautiful is exactly what I feel. This song reminds me of my family. We had and have our ups and downs, but somehow we get through the troubled times. We argue, fuss and fight, but we love each other whole-heartedly and forgive. Thank you for uploading this song. It really is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever heard. Dolly delivers it with truth and love.

[dollyaddict]

Yes there is always a conviction in Dolly's voice, another of her many unique talents, this is an autobiographical song about Dolly's father so she feels the lyrics as she has lived it, thanks for the comment

[GreatestSingerEver01]

Pure and beautiful.

[bazthehandyman]

@GreatestSingerEver01 .....yes the greatest.....sorry clicked the minus by mistake.Definately all the "plus" in the world

[Coyote329]

Was there ever a greater gal than Dolly? Maybe, Patsy...nah, they are equal in their greatness.

I can't listen to this song without tears welling up in my eyes. Powerful.

[Kemrudeee]

at 1:39 she looks like Hayden Panettiere:) Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and a beautiful song... I love Dolly :)

[Kuschelberti]

Some evenings I play poker in the web and I hear the song again and again. She is so wonderful... Wish to take part in a concert in Germany...

[pbsandcspanwatchit]

Beautiful tribute to Dolly!! I loved all the photos! I love this song too and hadn't heard it in a long time. I've lived all my life just a town over from where Dolly was born. WHen I was young I didn't like country music, but I liked Dolly but didn't follow her. Ive seen all her movies and she is one special lady . The great Smokies are all around me so this song is very special.

[dollyaddict]

So glad you enjoyed it - I have loved this song since i was a child & it still touches me deeply - what i would do to swap places with you geographically, thanks for your comment

[dollypartonapplejack]

love it to 5*****

[TQ120]

Thank You for posting all these videos, it's changing my life. It's a pity and a crying shame that i had not been aware of all this lovely lady's music before. This song is something special.

[dollyaddict]

Dolly has written & published over 3000 songs this was my 1st video and my longest loved song of dolly's so happy to be able to be the one to share her beautiful music with you

[louihowe]

[Debbiesblessed]

I am not sure who I love more, DOLLY, or Dollyaddict!! Love you girl! You are the greatest! People like you keep her music alive and well!

God bless!

[dollyaddict]

Thanks Deb - You're an Angel - I have a huge silly grin on my face - much love

[KEEPTHEGREENALIVE]

Thank you DollyAddict for bringing this song to us all. I'll be honest, I do like Dolly P., but, only know her from what she has done in the mainstream. I have never heard this song before. But, I can say without a doubt that the vocals are simply sweet. Sends shivers through me. Just goes to show that what we never thought possible, can become, the possible! This is an excellent video and song! Looking forward to checking out some more of your videos. Peace, Paul :)

[castlesxx]

u have the prettiest pictures of her, she tugs at my heart strings like no other, everytime i hear that angelic voice i remember my childhood.....thank you for your beautiful tribute page......i know u put a lot of work into it..... i'm sure all the dolly fans out there appreciate it :)
