DOLLY PARTON APPEARS ON NPR
Living legend Dolly Parton has appeared on National Public Radio (NPR). The Grammy award winning singer and songwriter discussed her new single, “Not Through Loving You” with host Rachel Peterson. The pair shared a lively conversation and the mutual admiration was very apparent.
RP: I am here today with a true legend in the music industry, Ms. Dolly Parton.
DP: Thank you for having me, Rachel. I am very honored to be a part of your show.
RP: Dolly, your new single is called “Not Through Loving You”.
DP: The inspiration of my song is my husband Carl. That man and I have been together since 1966. I absolutely love him with all my heart and soul and I thought, if he ever left I would never be through loving him. That was my inspiration.
RP: Very powerful. Let’s take a moment to listen to that track on air.

RP: I have goose bumps. The vocals are chilling. Did you realize you had something special in the studio?
DP: The recording felt very magical to me while I was there. But it wasn’t until I listened back to it that I realized there was something special here.
RP: It is one of your best works. I would put it up there with, “I Will Always Love You” or even perhaps “Jolene”.
DP: That’s an honor to have you say that. All my songs are near and dear to my heart. But them being applauded by others really makes creating them even better.
RP: I understand that. Well, our time is up for now. But listeners, please take a moment to download Dolly’s new single, “Not Through Loving You” on iTunes or any of your favorite websites for digital music sales.
