* AnswerSong: A surprising number of these for "Jolene":
** Music/KirstyMaccoll's "Caroline" is an answer song in which Jolene mourns the loss of her friendship with Jolene after an ill-advised affair with Jolene's husband.
** [[Music/{{Sugarland}} Jennifer Nettles]] wrote "That Girl," which she calls "a spiritual successor to 'Jolene'". In it, Jolene has no interest in Parton's man and in fact warns Parton's character that her husband is untrue.
** In Cam's "Diane," Jolene had no idea that she was having an affair with a married man and feels likewise betrayed, offering an apology to Parton's character (the titular Diane).
** A similar song, titled "Jolene's Song," by David Rotheray and Julie Murphy portrays a heartbroken Jolene who learns that the man she loves is married and that she has become "the other woman."
** In the rare male example, indie band Ewert and the Two Dragons released a song also called "Jolene" in which the husband orders Jolene to leave him alone as he has no interest in anyone but his wife.

* BreakthroughHit: Dolly recorded her first song in 1959, called "Puppy Love," which was a regional semi-hit. In 1964, the pretty 18-year-old woman from Siever County, Tennessee, signed with Monument Records; with Creator/RayStevens doing some of the production work, she recorded a cover of The Tune Weavers' "Happy Happy Birthday Baby," which in the fall of 1965 became her first national hit, peaking at No. 108 on the Billboard Hot 100.[[note]](Over the years, Billboard magazine has published a "Bubbling Under" chart, which ranks songs that had not yet reached – in most cases, never do reach – the Hot 100; most often with 10 positions, the chart at one point had no set length and was known to have as many as 40 positions. Modern references will often indicate that a song that had failed to reach the main Hot 100 chart peaked at a position of 100 plus the spot it peaked at on the Bubbling Under chart; in this case, "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby" peaked at No. 8 on the Bubbling Under chart, so the song today is said to have reached "No. 108.")[[/note]] Four other singles followed in 1966: "Busy Signal," "Don't Drop Out" and "The Little Things," before – with Fred Foster now at the helm – her first really big single: "Dumb Blonde," which had her on the country chart for the first time, reaching No. 24. At the end of 1966, she began appearing on "The Porter Wagoner Show," her first episodes airing in early 1967. Dolly's stock only began to grow ... and grow ... and grow. First, it was a series of duets, their breakthrough being their first national hit together: "The Last Thing On My Mind" in late 1967, with 18 more top 20 hits (most of them top 10) together through 1981. As for solo Dolly, she had several songs on the fringes of success until she blasted through the top 10 in the fall of 1970 with an old Jimmie Rodgers yodeling classic that added both a modern spin and her down-home persona: "Muleskinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)." The breakthroughs weren't done yet: By the mid-1970s, she broke out of Porter Wagoner's shadow and – on the heels of her own TV show (another breakthrough, on a solo basis) – then signaled another breakthrough ahead with her 1977 hit "Light Of a Clear Blue Morning." And then her big pop breakthrough late that same year: "Here You Come Again." There was then actress Dolly, with her legendary role in "9 to 5," and a breakthrough pairing with Kenny Rogers on "Islands In the Stream." And on the breakthroughs have come for a career that may never be seen again.

All stories have agreed on the key detail: A young, red-headed, green-eyed girl named Jolene came on stage during a Parton concert to meet her favorite singer. The details then start to diverge: One suggests she asked Parton for an autograph (to which of course Dolly obliged) and then told her name, while another story told that Jolene gave Parton a photo to forward to singer Porter Wagoner, with the girl having written on her photo "Love, Jolene." Whatever the actual events were, Parton was so moved by the little girl that a song was written ... and it became a country music classic.
