DOLLY PARTON & FRIENDS

GUEST:
EMMYLOU HARRIS
LINDA RONSTADT
ROD MC KUEN
KENNY ROGERS



The first episode of Dolly is sensational. Her guest stars are friends Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, and their rapport together is natural and easy-going. The sole purpose of the episode is to show them singing, and they don't disappoint. Among the songs sung, Harris does a haunting version of Parton's My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy, Ronstadt sings I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love With You, and the three together sing a spirited version of Applejack. A bypass to a location shoot, with Dolly performing in a small club, is a real eye-opener to see the kinds of venues she used to perform in. She also does an amazing trick of singing a song like a 45 record at 78 speed, with it sounding weirdly mechanical and accurate. It's a terrific show, and an important historical moment, uniting the future Trio grouping of Parton, Harris and Ronstadt, for the first time in public. It's clear by the quiet watchfulness of the women that they respect each other's talents, making for a focused, entertaining episode.

This is part ONE
