Could a revamped female empowerment anthem from Dolly Parton and “Mr. Worldwide” himself be the collaboration country fans never knew they needed? In mid-February, Pitbull quietly put out a song called “Powerful Women,” an uptempo but emotional salute to everything his working-class mother accomplished when he was a child. There’s something awfully familiar about the track, though: That’s right, it samples Parton’s iconic 1980 working woman’s anthem, “9 to 5.” But the twists and turns don’t stop there. “Powerful Women” includes Parton singing the chorus of “9 to 5,” and it sounds like a fresh ...

Both singers wore shimmering white and silver to match the ethereal aesthetic of “I Will Always Love You”: Par...

She decided to part ways with him in order to launch out completely on her own. “I was trying to get away on...

Fifty-seven years ago today, on Feb. 13, 1967, Dolly Parton‘s debut album, appropriately titled, Hello, I’m Dolly, was released.
