Music Row News: In Remembrance of Dolly Parton

Dear Mrs. Dolly Parton, We Will Always Love You.  We have truly lost a national treasure... a high-beam light of love, adored world-wide.  She will forever be one of my biggest inspirations and motivations.  Dolly, you set the bar.  Not just for music, but for impact.  Not only for women, but for ALL.  Songwriting is my therapy – Dolly is my ceiling.  This one's for you, our Diamond Dolly.  (Pay attention to the lyrics... and test your Dolly Quotes knowledge.) ___________________________________ "Diamond Dolly" ("Dolly's Song") Written by Ariel Jade  Lyrics:  On the brink of breakdown  when you tell me Dolly died  Don't know how to do her justice,  but Lord knows I've got to try With the voice of an angel  Golden soul and bouncing hair  Dear Ms. Dolly Parton,  A lighthouse in the despair  None can disparage  Or strip away the gleam  Of the love and adoration  We all gave to our Queen  So here's to Diamond Dolly and her God-fearing force  Back into divine energy -  It's all par for the course  She glistened like a rhinestone But was way more than she seemed Dolly is a diamond, forever to be Queen I won't be afraid of dying  No fear to live and try  Still prayin' and ever hopin'  It's better on that side So take a long page from Dolly  She lived all the way right  Each melody and message  Meant for a bigger fight Top in class, a shining light  What Dolly Would Do  Is how I'll live and love all,  Not just the chosen few So here's to Diamond Dolly and her God-fearing force  Back into divine energy -  It's all par for the course  She glistened like a rhinestone But was way more than she seemed  Dolly is a diamond, and will forever be Queen More treasured than a diamond  With a legacy of gold Dolly you're a diamond, Your words will forever be told  ________________________________ Getting to write & film a music video for this song in the Magic Room (Chet Atkin's office) at THE Historic RCA Victor Studios where Dolly Parton signed her RCA contract was an experience I will never forget. The energy in this building... (speechless).  Dolly, I aim to do you proud. Thank you for all you gave us. ________________________________ Music Row News Season 3 will continue after our Ode To Dolly Special has been filmed. Stay tuned. Be kind. Love all.
