Dolly Parton's 80th Birthday Gift: A Special Rendition of 'Light of a Clear Blue Morning' Featuring Miley Cyrus and More
Country music legend Dolly Parton is celebrating her 80th birthday with a special gift for her fans: a new rendition of her 1977 hit song "Light of a Clear Blue Morning." The updated version features her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, along with other stars like Queen Latifah, Reba McEntire, and Lainey Wilson. The song also includes piano by super producer David Foster and vocals from The Christ Church Choir of Nashville.
Dolly shared that she originally wrote the song in 1976 when she needed hope, and now she's excited to bring that hope to life again with the help of these talented women. The proceeds from the song and video will go towards cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Miley and Dolly have collaborated on multiple occasions in the past, with Miley recently joining Dolly on a new version of "Wrecking Ball" for Dolly's 2023 album, "Rockstar." The bond between Miley and her "Aunt Dolly" shines through in their musical collaborations, creating beautiful and heartfelt music for their fans to enjoy.
