The Consummate Artist’s Artist

DIONNE WARWICK

“She simply meets no strangers — she’s like meeting someone you’ve known a long time.

She is a pleasure to be around and full of what I love: laughter!!”

DEBBIE HARRY

“Dolly Parton has always been an idol of mine. Dolly is a smart, beautiful woman with talent enough for a dozen people.”

LIONEL RICHIE

“There are few artists who have impacted as many generations of musicians and fans as Dolly Parton. It’s not just her love of the music, but her love of the people that defines her among legends.”

RINGO STARR

“I’ve known Dolly since the ’70s — we would bump into her over the years. She has always been so great, and I’ve admired how much good she does in the world. I first got the call through Mick Fleetwood that Dolly was trying to reach me and ask if I would play on ‘Let It Be.’ She sent me the files and it was my pleasure to play on it for her. I think it’s great it has topped the charts! Well done and peace and love to you, Dolly!”

STING

“Dolly’s iconic voice and her spirit are transcendent and unique. Dolly recording ‘Every Breath You Take’ for her album — along with Johnny Cash covering my song ‘I Hung My Head’ and Toby Keith having a hit with ‘I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying’ — are three of my proudest moments as a songwriter.”

GLORIA ESTEFAN

“From day one, she has lived her life the way she has wanted, unapologetically, breaking rules for women and artists, breaking new ground musically many times over, has owned her style and look, which is like no other, and has a voice that is recognizable in two notes. And she continues to evolve and grow. If that’s not a rock star, I don’t know what is.”
