Dolly, Gloria, Cyndi, Debbie, Belinda: 80 for Brady Song
Posted on January 25, 2023 at 12:23 pm
What kind of song do you get for a movie starring four of the biggest stars in Hollywood: Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno, and Lily Tomlin? You get a song from equally brilliant Dolly Parton, Belinda Carlisle, Gloria Estefan, and Debbie Harry, written by perennial Oscar nominee Diane Warren.
I love the way celebrities are helping homebound parents by reading stories out loud. Here’s Dolly Parton reading the classic The Little Engine That Could.
Dolly Parton wrote six new songs for the new Netflix film, “Dumplin'” and I have the CD to give away!
Guest stars include Mavis Staples, Macy Gray, Elle King, and Sia, and the CD features the Golden GLobe-nominated “Girl in the Movies” and a new string version of Dolly’s classic, “Jolene.”
To enter, send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with Dolly in the subject line and tell me your favorite winter holiday song. Don’t forget your address! (U.S. addresses only). I’ll pick a winner at random on December 17, 2018. Good luck!
Singer/songwriter/actress/businesswoman Dolly Parton turns 70 today!
This song was inspired by her childhood, born the fourth child of 12, to mother, Avie Lee and father, Robert Lee, in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
Here she sings one of her biggest hits with her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.
She contributed a classic song and a deft, warm-hearted comic performance to “9 to 5.”
And she wrote this song, which became one of the biggest hits of all time when Whitney Houston sang it in “The Bodyguard.” Watch this with a handkerchief nearby.
Dolly Parton’s classic song “Coat of Many Colors” was inspired by her childhood in Tennessee. A movie inspired by the song will premiere on NBC December 10, 2015 at 9/8c.
