On The Voice this week Vicci Martinez performed Jolene. The lyrics captivated me. I needed to know who sang the original and the story behind the song. I was shocked to find out this song was written and performed by the great Dolly Parton in 1973. It was one of those songs that I feel in love with instantly. There is such passion and desperation in the lyrics. Vicci is on Cee Lo’s team and he is a musical genius. Taking a chance with a huge classic song and Vicci pulled it off. She made it her own. However I like the original better. Check it out and decide for yourself.
