Dolly Parton Thinks Beyoncé Covered Jolene


Last month Country music icon Dolly Parton put her stamp of approval on Beyoncé's country music pivot, sharing an encouraging note on social media [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Dolly reveals Beyoncé may cover her country music classic "Jolene..."

Country legend Dolly Parton hinted that one of her classic hits might appear on Beyoncé's new album, which is set to be released on March 29.
Parton told the Knoxville News Sentinel that Beyoncé might have covered her 1973 song "Jolene" as part of an album that has been described as "act ii" of the three-act project that began with Beyoncé's 2022 "Renaissance" album.
"I think she's recorded "Jolene" and I think it's probably gonna be on her country album, which I'm very excited about that," Parton told the Tennessee-based newspaper in an interview published on Monday, adding that she finds Beyoncé to be a "great singer" and "beautiful."
"We've kind of sent messages back and forth through the years," Parton said. "And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans."
Parton told NPR in 2008 that "Jolene" is her most covered song.

Dolly ain't slick, she wants that revenue that will generate from Beyonce covering one of her songs. Didn't she already rake in millions of dollars from Whitney's cover of I Will Always Love You? How much money does she need!

Go for it, Beyoncé. Everyone knows you’re trying hard to follow Whitney’s success with ‘I Will Always Love You’.
Love your voice but it just doesn’t move people like Whitney’s.

Let me stop. I can’t sing a lick ……
