Listen to Coat Of Many Colors (Stop YouTube Video First)
Dolly has one of the most recognizable faces in the world. For most of the 1980s, she was the third most photographed person in the world, behind only the Pope and Madonna (as Dolly said in her autobiography, not the Madonna usually associated with the Pope). Her face has graced dozens of magazines,and her picture has been taken by some of the world's most famous photographers. She even was painted by Andy Warhol.
"Coat of Many Colors" is a song that has not only withstood the test of time but is a personal story of Dolly's childhood. She even turned it into a very successful children's book. It is the story of a coat that her mother made for her. Only instead of using a single piece of material, she pieced together rags to make a coat and kids at school were very cruel when she wore it. As the coat was being made, her mama had told her the Bible story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. It made the coat even more special to the young girl, and she was very hurt at the cruel teasing from her classmates. She tried to make them understand how special it was to her to no avail. Coat of Many Colors is a beautiful song with a powerful message that will never go out of date. ~Source: dollymania.net
