When Dolly Parton Wakes Up, This Is The First Thing She Does
Fans of Dolly Parton might think that they’re familiar with her morning routine. After all, she details one quite comprehensively in her 1980 hit “9 to 5.” But now the star has revealed her A.M. habits in full. And there’s much more to them than a “tumble outta bed” and a “stumble to the kitchen.”
It would probably be fair to say that Parton is one of the hardest-working stars in show business. Over the course of her impressive 50-year career, the singer has surpassed global record sales of 100 million. What’s more, she’s secured more than 110 charting singles, as well as a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Away from her successful music career, Parton has established herself as a savvy businesswoman too. Among the songwriter’s ventures is her 150-acre Dollywood theme park. The star has also ventured into acting over the years with stints in movies, on TV and on Broadway, and she’s a philanthropist to boot.
Given all her achievements, Parton is the proud owner of a number of accolades. Among her many gongs are eight Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. She also received the Living Legend Award from the Library of Congress in 2004 and was given the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the Country Music Association Awards in 2016. But how does she find the time to get everything done?
It seems that simple hard toil is the answer. Parton has attributed her unwavering work effort to her early years, particularly to her father. The singer was born in Locust Ridge, situated in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, on January 19, 1946. Her family was poor, but Parton’s dad ensured they didn’t go hungry.
