"Country music legend and our greatest living national treasure Dolly Parton turns 80 years old on Monday, so naturally, there will be celebrations across the US all weekend. Dolly herself just dropped a birthday treat for us all, a new version of her 1977 hit single "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" (seen below), featuring Miley Cyrus, Lainey Wilson, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire."
"Pour yourself a Double D cup of ambition and head on down to the Make-Out Room for Dolly look-alike contests, Dolly-aoke, raffles with Dolly-themed prizes, and an all-Dolly vinyl dance party with DJ Doll Parts, aka Angela Vincent, the Dolly Parton enthusiast who organized this party. Anyone who loves Dolly needs to come out to this event, Vincent tells SFist."
"I'm going to be spinning vinyl and hosting a Dolly-aoke so everyone gets a chance to be a Dolly! Or a Jolene, or a Whitney, Emmylou, Linda, Porter, Freddy Fender, Cher, or any other talent she's worked with. There will be a look-a-like contest with prizes, Vincent adds. So beyond some Dollys with wigs and rhinestones, I expect we may see some Kenny Rogers or Burt Reynolds in the audience."
Dolly Parton turns 80 on January 19, prompting celebrations across the U.S. A new version of her 1977 hit "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" features Miley Cyrus, Lainey Wilson, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire. The Grand Ole Opry will host a VIP birthday event Saturday in Nashville, but Dolly will not attend due to current health issues. In San Francisco, the Make-Out Room will hold a Dolly Parton Birthday Bash on Sunday at 8pm, organized by Angela Vincent (DJ Doll Parts). The event will include a look-alike contest, Dolly-aoke, raffles with Dolly-themed prizes, and an all-vinyl Dolly dance party as a benefit for Dolly's Imagination Library.
