There are a number of singer/songwriters that have proven to have long professional careers, but few that are as immediately recognizable - by sight, by sound, or simply by the mention of a first name - as Dolly Parton. Not only that, few are as endeared by multiple generations of fans as she, and very few country stars have are as popular by non-country fans as she.
Her contributions to songwriting are many, having written some 3,000 songs, including the iconic "I Will Always Love You" (made additionally famous by the late Whitney Houston), her breakout hit, Jolene, 9 to 5, and so, so many more.
In 1999, she released her 35th studio album, a entirely bluegrass collection. "Steady as The Rain" was a song she'd originally written for her younger sister, Stella, who had a to 40 hit with this song in 1979.
Happy listening!
