The Life Of Dolly Parton, The Queen Of Country Music

Success!

Once Dolly recorded “Mule Skinner Blues,” the song hit No. 3 on the charts and she recorded “Joshua,” which was her first No. 1 single. Over the next two years, her songs continued to top the charts as a solo artist as well as still having hit songs as duets with Wagoner. Her signature song “Coat of Many Colors” hit No. 4 in 1971. Other singles she recorded that had success included “Touch Your Woman,” “My Tennessee Mountain Home,” and “Travelin’ Man.”

These songs were put out in 1972 and 1973. Later in 1973, Parton put out her biggest hit of the time “Jolene.” This song not only topped the country charts, but it charted in the UK as well.
