About this listen
Dolly Parton is making waves just days before her milestone 80th birthday on January 19 as Tennessee Governor Bill Lee proclaimed that very day Dolly Parton Day across the Volunteer State according to the governors office release and WNKY news. Lee hailed her as Tennessees favorite daughter whose life and career are woven into the states music culture and history praising her talent generosity and lifelong philanthropy from the Dollywood Foundation to the Imagination Library that has delivered millions of free books worldwide as detailed in the official proclamation on tn.gov.
Hot on that heels MusicRow and DollyParton.com report the country queen dropped a stunning new rendition of her 1976 inspirational anthem Light of a Clear Blue Morning on January 16 marking the songs 50th anniversary. This powerhouse collab features Lainey Wilson Miley Cyrus Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire with David Foster on piano and The Christ Church Choir providing soaring backing vocals produced by Parton alongside Kent Wells and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. Dolly shared in the press release I wrote it during a season when I was searching for hope and fifty years later that message still feels just as true adding its my way of shining a little light forward especially by sharing it with some truly incredible women. The single and music video are out now with all net proceeds fueling pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Childrens Hospital at Vanderbilt a cause dear to her heart cementing her legacy of music as a force for good.
No public appearances or fresh business deals popped up in the latest verified reports nor any standout social media mentions beyond the releases hype but this twin punch of official honors and charitable star power underscores Partons enduring influence poised to echo in her biography for years. Fans are buzzing over these timely gems with no unconfirmed rumors surfacing from reliable outlets.
