This compilation was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted "Coat of Many Colors" "Jolene" and "9 to 5". Believe it or not, it's not necessarily easy to find all of these songs on an inexpensive greatest hits package. It's a wonderful buy for the price. More importantly, it has induced me to buy more of Dolly's CDs.

Another compilation from the best, and yes, it would be nice if there were more, but its still outstanding! A collection of some of her hits from the 70's and 80's. I got this for Christmas, and I love it. The time length of 1-9: 2:43, 2:56, 4:01, 3:25, 3:02, 2:38, 2:53, 4:11, 3:16. All of these, like "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," are the original version. Beginning with the motivational "9 To 5," and closing with the real sweet "But You Know That I Love You," this collection is the best there is and beautiful.

This short collection gives a good introduction to the varied work of Dolly Parton. The pop hits are here (9 to 5, Here You Come Again) along with some of her most beautiful country songs (Jolene, I Will Always Love You, Coat of Many Colors), as well as some songs that fall somewhere in between (Do I Ever Cross Your Mind). No, it's not complete. Unfortunately, Dolly recorded on enough different labels that there really is not a "definitive" greatest hits collection. This inexpensive collection, though, is a good start for the casual Dolly fan.

Dolly is my hero. always has been ever since i first laid eyes on her when she ist appeared on the Porter show. she has such a clear pure voice and can sing anything just like an angel. i love Dolly Parton. She is the best and she gives honor & glory to God. that is so good.

While this is a small collection of Dolly Parton's best, it is still worth having just to hear the ORIGINAL (and BEST) version of "I Will Always Love You" as written AND sung by Dolly Parton! You GO Girl with your beautiful voice and music!

Dolly can sing a country song with the best of them. She needs to get back to her roots and what made her famous in first place. Dolly needs to remember the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Her country singing was wonderful. Her country song writing was wonderful. YOU GO GIRL !!!

Dolly Parton is one of the Most Underrated Talents.she is a Good Solid Song-Writter&Vocalist.her songs still sound Great.I will always Love You,He will Come again,etc.. are Great period.i don't care how it's packaged Good Music is Good Music period.Dolly is a Good Talent.

The best there is? Not by a long shot folks!! Sure, there are a bare handful of great songs here. "Coat of Many Colors" is simply one of the greatest country songs of all time. But the world does not need yet another compilation with "Here You Come Again," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You." These songs are so readily available on so many other compilations while such stunning tracks like "Down From Dover," "Gypsy, Joe, and Me" and a host of others remain out of print. One the whole this compilation might rate 2 stars, but I have penalized it one for the ludicrous, inaccurate and misleading title. We must demand better treatment of Dolly's back catalog.
