Dolly Parton’s beautiful remake of classic “Jolene”
Dolly Parton has teamed up with a cappella group Pentatonix to give her classic hit “Jolene” a hauntingly beautiful modern update.
In a video posted last Friday, the 70-year-old country singer takes over lead vocals as the Texas quintet delivers a backing beat using only their voices. It’s a emotional rendition of the iconic country song, and we have to say, we love it!
The day the video was released, Parton tweeted that the experience of singing with Pentatonix, was “pure magic.”
“Jolene” was released in 1974, with Rolling Stone ranking the song No. 217 on its “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list in 2004.
