Dolly Parton wants Beyonce to cover her all-time hit, Jolene

Los Angeles, Dec 7 : Singer Dolly Parton says she would love Beyonce to do a cover of her iconic track Jolene.
“‘Jolene’ has been recorded more than any other song that I have ever written. It has been recorded worldwide over 400 times in lots of different languages by lots of different bands. The White Stripes did a wonderful job of it, and many other people. But nobody’s ever had a really big hit record on it,” Parton told Big Issue magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“I’ve always hoped somebody might do someday, someone like Beyonce,” she added.
Parton says her proudest moment was the reaction to Whitney Houston’s song, I will always love you.
“I had a number one with ‘I Will Always Love You’ twice, once in the Seventies then I did it in the movie ‘The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas’ and had another number one in the eighties. And then Whitney did it and it was considered one of the greatest love songs of all time. Still to this day I take a lot of pride in that,” she said.
When she’s writing a new song, Parton looks at the process as if she’s “starring” in a film.
