The toughest thing about Dolly Parton fandom is deciding what part of her career you want to explore. Is it her incredible songwriting talents, as evidenced, again, by all the songs she wrote for her latest release, “Better Day”? Her performances? Her philanthropy? The list can go on and on for this woman who is up and working early every morning despite her superstar status.

“Most musicians like to sleep all day. They party all night,” said Parton. “I’m not one of them. I go to bed early and wake up early so I’m always primed and ready to go.”
