And I said, well, I’d love to hear what you got to say. And I thought, well, why me? You seem to be doing all right on your own. Well, James Patterson, one of the world's greatest writers ever, he contacted me and asked if I would be interested in writing a book with him. Of course we'd love to know what motivated you to write fiction and why now? Well, you've also reinvented yourself very recently. Thank the Lord I'm not having to do exactly that these days, but that's how much I love the business and how much I love the singing and the songwriting. But like I said, I'd sell it out of the back of my car and all us artists have done that at one time or another, but I would continue to do it.
Even if I'd have done nothing more than be a waitress, I'd have been saving them tips to go down and do a demo and try to get my songs still recorded and make an album. Even if I had never made it in the business, I would have continued to do my music cause I can't help that.
And out of that song, so many wonderful things have branched out for me. It was a song that has taken me everywhere I want to go. I was born to be a singer and a songwriter, it was a song that brought me out of the smokey mountains to Nashville. What keeps you motivated at this stage in your career to keep writing and working? So I'm very excited to talk about your new book and your album, but I just want to start with a quote of yours that I loved Dolly, which is you once said “after you reach a certain age, they think you're over. Joining me today is the one and only Dolly Parton, musician, businesswoman, actor, author, humanitarian, one of the greatest songwriters and most beloved humans in this galaxy. Thanks to our sponsors LinkedIn, Morgan Stanley, ServiceNow, and UKG for making it possible. Today I’m excited to bring you a conversation I had on Clubhouse with a legend. She is a national treasure and to be able to have the world hear my version of it with her behind it is a blessing.Hey WorkLifers, it’s Adam Grant. I’m beyond thrilled being given the opportunity to remix one of the greatest songs of all time and that Dolly loves it. Something to sing along to while getting your dance on. I’ve always felt its lyrics and melody could be the bones to build a real dance floor banger around. “It is a true classic not only for country music but American music. “‘Jolene’ has been part of my musical DNA since day one,” adds Gary Richards. “It makes me want to dance! How about you!?” “My little song ‘Jolene’ has been done so many different ways, and I love them all, but I think this one is my favorite,” says Dolly Parton about the remix. Keeping Parton’s extraordinary vocals and original guitar composition intact throughout the remix, the world-famous song tells the tale of a woman trying to keep her man from a younger love interest. Richards breathes new life into the track with a primed-and-ready dance floor approach by applying a rich and passionate deep house backdrop with sweeping builds and galloping basslines. Dolly Parton, country music’s most honored and accomplished female singer-songwriters, has handed Gary Richards (aka DESTRUCTO) the reigns to her hit 1978 song “Jolene” for a rare official remix.
