Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946)
is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer,
actress, author, businesswoman, and humanitarian, known primarily for her work
in country music.
After achieving success as a songwriter for others, Parton made her album debut
in 1967 with Hello, I'm Dolly.
With steady success during the remainder of the 1960s (both as a solo artist
and with a series of duet albums with Porter
Wagoner), her sales and chart peak came during the
1970s and continued into the 1980s. Parton's albums in the 1990s did not sell as well, but
she achieved commercial success again in the new millennium and has released
albums on various independent labels since 2000, including her own label, Dolly
Records.
Parton's music includes Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards. She has
had 25 songs reach No. 1 on the Billboard country music charts, a record for a female artist (tied with Reba McEntire).
She has 44 career Top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has
110 career-charted singles over the past 40 years. She has garnered ten Grammy
Awards and 49 nominations, including the Lifetime Achievement Award and a 2020
win with for KING & COUNTRY for their
collaboration on "God Only Knows"; 10 Country Music Association
Awards, including Entertainer of the Year and is one of only seven female
artists to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year Award;
five Academy of Country Music Awards, also including a nod for Entertainer of
the Year; four People's Choice Awards; and three American Music Awards.
In 1999, Parton was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. She has
composed over 3,000 songs, including "I
Will Always Love You" (a two-time U.S. country
chart-topper, as well as an international pop hit for Whitney Houston),
"Jolene",
"Coat of Many Colors", and "9 to 5". She is also a select group to have received at least one nomination from the Academy Awards,
Grammy Awards, Tony Awards,
and Emmy Awards.
As an actress, she has starred in films such as 9 to 5 (1980) and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), for which she earned Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress,
as well as Rhinestone (1984), Steel
Magnolias (1989), Straight Talk (1992) and Joyful
Noise (2012).
"9 to 5" is a song written and
originally performed by American country music entertainer Dolly
Parton for the 1980 comedy film of the same name.
In addition to appearing on the film soundtrack, the song was the centerpiece
of Parton's 9
to 5 and Odd Jobs album, released in late
1980. The
song was released as a single in November 1980.
The song garnered Parton na Academy Award nomination and four Grammy
Award nominations, winning her the awards
for "Best Country Song"
and "Best Country Vocal Performance, Female".
For a time, the song became something of an anthem for office workers in the
U.S., and in 2004, Parton's song ranked number 78 on American
Film Institute's "100 years, 100
songs".
The
song was accompanied by a music video that featured footage of Parton and her
band performing, intercut with clips from the film.
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service
and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me in
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmm
They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss-man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away
On the same boat
With a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they
got you were they want you
There's a better life
And you think that I would daunt you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they
got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream that I daunt you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Going funny it you want it.
