Apparently, Dolly wrote "Jolene" on the same night as "I will always
love you", which I think is the highest selling song (sung by different artists).

RIP Dolly.

Long live Jolene!

Likewise.

I never really got into her music but always suspected that she was a
good'un. So it didn't surprise me at all to read in the obituaries
about her charitable work.

Goodbye Dolly.

Wouldn't surprise me. The _most recorded_ used to be Yesterday, though I
think My Way [Comme d'habitude, So leb dein Leben] must come close, but
IWALY could well be the highest selling.

They're talking of her having sold 100,000; that compares very
favourably with Nana's 300 to 400k, given N did it over 40-50 years and
in multiple languages; given Dolly only (AFAIK) sang in English, and in
one genre, it's pretty impressive.

There is (as is usual from him) a nice tribute from Steve Rosenberg at https://x.com/BBCSteveR/status/2092358769392943232 .

RIP Dolly.

Long live Jolene!

Indeed! I consider that, and TW's SBYM, to be the supreme classics of
the genre.

Seems to have been a Good Egg - and a shrewd businessperson too.>>

I see what you did there!

I had a (youngish) landlady who was very fond of country, loud and late,
so I wasn't really; however, many of Dolly's are catchy tunes regardless
of being country.

I've known about the books project for years and can only think I was told
by someone in the US as I'm not one of her fans.
