Dolly Parton's 80th Birthday Bash Was All About Laughs and New Music
Country music icon Dolly Parton celebrated her milestone birthday with a dash of humor and some exciting news. The legendary singer-songwriter shared a new version of her 1977 song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" on Instagram, accompanied by a hilarious video message that had fans giggling.
Parton kicked off her special day by joking about outliving not only plastic surgeons but also the music industry itself. She quipped, "Well, hey there! It's Dolly, and I've made it – I'm 80 years old." When asked what to give someone of her age, she replied, "You don't take gifts; you give things." However, in a tongue-in-cheek moment, she added, "I hope I still got my plastic surgeons in line" before jokingly saying, "Oh Lord, I've outlived so many plastic surgeons. Well, happy birthday to me!"
The new version of "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," featuring a star-studded lineup including Queen Latifah, Reba McEntire, Miley Cyrus, and Lainey Wilson, was produced by Kent Wells and features David Foster on the piano. Parton expressed her gratitude for the project, saying it's a "gift" that will bring people together and offer a sense of hope during difficult times.
The song's music video has been viewed millions of times since its release, and fans are still reeling from Parton's witty remarks about aging and plastic surgery. The net proceeds from the song and its music video will support pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Parton's latest birthday message is just another testament to her enduring talent, wit, and generosity. As she continues to defy age with her music and humor, fans can't help but wonder what's next for the beloved singer-songwriter.
