Dolly Parton wird heute 80 und hat Musik veröffentlicht, um Sie beim Feiern zu unterstützen

How typical that while Monday is Dolly Parton’s birthday, she gives the world a gift instead.

After all, this is a woman known just as much for her philanthropic efforts as for her music, from helping to fund one of the Covid vaccines to sending free books to kids around the country to encourage reading.

Ahead of her 80th birthday on Monday, Parton released a new version of her 1977 single “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” which this time around includes fellow singers Lainey Wilson, Queen Latifah, Reba McEntire and Parton’s goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.

It also features famed composer/producer David Foster on piano and The Christ Church Choir in a version that, according to Parton’s website, “reimagines the song with a message of spreading love and hope.”
