Dolly Parton wasn’t ever just a 70s star. Parton made her debut in 1965 and is still hugely popular today. In 1973, Parton released her incredibly famous single, Jolene, reaching the top of the country music charts in 1974.

The song was also her very first hit to chart in the U.K. Over the mid-70s, Parton had multiple top 10 country singles, and crossed over into the pop industry, releasing Here You Come Again; which was number one on the country charts, and 20 on the pop chart.
