With the help of Pink, Pat Benatar, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford, and Annie Lennox, Dolly Parton delivers a victorious performance of “Jolene.”
When Dolly Parton was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she delivered an amazing rendition of “Jolene.” A bunch of famous artists joined her on stage, including Pink, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, Brandi Carlile, and Simon Le Bon. It looked like the country music legend was really enjoying the moment, and the performance was filled with an exciting vibe.
Pink kicked off the song right after Dolly Parton sang the catchy opening line and they performed a duet together. You could totally see how excited Pink was to be sharing the stage with the iconic Dolly Parton. After that, Annie Lennox from Eurythmics took her turn with the next verse, and then all the famous singers joined in for the chorus. The list of superstar performers just kept getting better, with Rob Halford, the metal legend, Pat Benatar, and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran all stepping up to rap their parts.
More than a million viewers tuned in to watch the live performance of “Jolene” on YouTube, showing just how much people loved it. One commenter said that Dolly Parton “has music flowing through her soul.” No matter who she collaborates with, her voice always blends perfectly. I really admire Dolly Parton for her positive energy and amazing talent. She is so creative, and her kindness shines through. Thank goodness for her!
During the 37th annual event at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California, on November 5, 2022, Pink had the honor of inducting Dolly Parton into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That night, other famous artists like Judas Priest, Carly Simon, Jimmy Jam, Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, and Lionel Richie were also recognized. Dolly performed two songs, including “Rockin’ It,” with the help of the Zac Brown Band.
At first, Parton thought about not going to her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because she felt she didn’t really earn it. After thinking it over, the country singer decided to go ahead with the ceremony. During her acceptance speech, she confidently declared, “I’m a rock star now!” She also shared her doubts about receiving the honor, saying, “I’m sure many of you remember that when they announced I was going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t believe I had done enough to deserve it.” She added that there was more to her feelings than she realized at the time. Being here tonight is a true honor, and I couldn’t be happier.
