"Dolly's Best Performance On Home Video", November 15, 2009
This review is from: Dolly Parton - Dolly in London [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dolly Parton once told Playboy magazine back in 1978 that she always thought there would one day be a female Elvis Presley. After viewing this marvelous video called "Dolly In London", one has to belive that when Dolly made that comment she very well may have been talking about herself. From the moment she steps on the London stage and belts out her disco anthem "Baby I'm Burnin" to the closing of "I Will Always Love You", the viewer is enthalled by Dolly's magnetism and talent. Not to mention many of the songs she performs here are her own compositions. All her huge hits up until 1983 (which is when the special originally aired on HBO) are performed including "Coat of Many Colors", "Jolene", "Here You Come Again", and "9 to 5". Dolly also does a stirring rendition of her classic "Down From Dover", backed by a full orchestra. Dolly's version of "Me and Little Andy" will bring tears to your eyes and with her male singers Dolly sings "Do I Ever Cross You Mind". Before the concert Dolly is shown sightseeing in London, and she takes questions from the British press. Watch as she puts a rude reporter in line when Dolly is asked her opinion of prostitution. Dolly responds by stating, "why...are you a prostitute?" Unfortunately, this long-forgotten concert has never seen the light of day on DVD despite public demand for it. Dolly does, however, have a new concert available, also filmed in London, called "Live From London" that was filmed at the O2 Arena and that too is a gem. Sit back and see an entertainer in this video that was once the highest paid singer in Vegas back in the 1980's making $250,000 per week. After watching "Dolly in London", you'll know she was worth every penny!
