Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman, known primarily for her decades-long career in country music. After achieving success as a songwriter for others, Parton made her album debut in 1967 with Hello, I'm Dolly, which led to success during the remainder of the 1960s (both as a solo artist and with a series of duet albums with Porter Wagoner), before her sales and chart peak came during the 1970s and continued into the 1980s. Parton's albums in the 1990s did not sell as well, but she achieved commercial success again in the new millennium and has released albums on various independent labels since 2000, including her own label, Dolly Records.

Peel was not a fan of the singer and never played any songs from her on his radio programmes. However, he did play some Dolly Parton songs that were covered by some artists in the 90's and 00's. His friend and colleague, Andy Kershaw, was a fan and would play her music regularly on his shows and even named his daughter after the singer.
