“Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can.”
That was my first introduction to Dolly and I was hooked on this country singer. I actually thought I was the only African16 year old who loved this singer until I found a like-minded person in Bello (continue to Rest in peace) who gave me a bunch of cassettes of her songs.
Anyways, I’ve always loved her authenticity, free spirit and guts!
Farewell Dolly! You left your legacy! And you’ll be with your soul friend, Kenny. ♥️
