Dolly Parton has been reminiscing about her life in show business on her new Substack account — and in the latest offering of videos, she recalls working alongside some of her fellow female country superstars.
“I loved Tammy [Wynette] and Dottie [Rambo] and Loretta [Lynn] and Lynn Anderson,” the “Jolene” singer, 79, gushes. “We were like sisters. Oh, we did the gossip and stuff about each other when they’d leave the room, but we’d still welcome them back in loving them just like you do with your own family.”
But the 10-time Grammy winner, who recorded the 1993 album Honky Tonk Angels with her longtime friends Tammy and Loretta, says there “was a deep love between us,” adding that despite the gossip, there was very little competition between them.
“We were … as Minnie Pearl would say, ‘just proud to be here.’ We all took great pride in one another, and we were encouraging. There was no real jealousy between us. We just wanted everybody to do good.”
Their friendships were the real deal: Before Tammy passed away in 1998, Dolly reportedly visited her in the hospital to do her nails. And after Loretta died in 2022, the “I Will Always Love You” songwriter called her a “hero and one of the most important but still down-to-earth singer-songwriters in history.”
