Dolly Parton’s collaborations Beyond Country & Gospel

The text highlights three notable collaborations Dolly Parton has undertaken with artists from different genres:

  1. “He’s Everything” (for Joyful Noise, 2012): While primarily a gospel ballad, this demonstrates Parton’s willingness to contribute to film soundtracks and explore different musical contexts. She also wrote two other original songs for the film: “Not Enough” and “From Here to the moon and back.”
  1. “Faith” with Galantis (2019): A reimagining of John Hiatt’s “Have a Little Faith in Me,” this collaboration with the Swedish electronic music group Galantis transformed the song into a dance track featuring vocals from Mr. Probz. The collaboration was initiated by Galantis member Christian Karlsson, who had long admired Parton. The song topped Billboard’s US Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.
  1. “Every Breath You Take” with Sting (2023): Inspired by her 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of fame induction, Parton created an album of collaborations with rock musicians, starting with a cover of The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” featuring Sting. This shows her willingness to interpret and reimagine the work of other artists.
