Dolly Parton Joins Pentatonix For An A Cappella Version Of Jolene

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the name Dolly Parton? If you are like most people, you will think about the song Jolene, because it is her single most popular hit. Of course, Dolly has brought a lot of other songs to the table but we will always remember Jolene as being a favorite.

Since Dolly first sang Jolene, it has been covered many times by a variety of artists, some well known and others, not known at all. Thanks to the internet, the song has also been heard from an even wider range of singers, including this video. It is done by Pentatonix, and they join Dolly Parton herself for an A Capella version of that classic. You may have thought you heard the song before but this version is going to take it to new heights.

This music is sung a cappella, which is a signature sound for many musical groups, including Pentatonix. The word itself is Italian for “in the matter of the chapel” and it is typically sung without any type of musical accompaniment. Typically, the voices will make up any additional music that is necessary and at times, it can get quite creative. When it is done properly and with people who are very talented, the sound can be overwhelmingly pleasant. When Dolly Parton teams up with this group for an a cappella song, it is unbelievable how fantastic it sounds.

It doesn’t matter if you are watching Dolly singing a song, playing in a movie or doing an interview, you will recognize that she is a talented person. Take the time to watch this video. It is one that you will not forget for a long time.
