It is ranked #217 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. This video version is performed by “Mindy Smith” from her debut album ‘One Moment More’.

Parton has said that the inspiration for the “Jolene” character was a tall, red-headed bank teller who Parton believed was flirting with her husband, and her husband’s apparent vulnerability to the teller’s charm as indicated by his sudden interest in making frequent trips …

I saw this video when I was younger, but I forgot the name of the song and the singer who sang it. But just the other day my sister had this song stuck in her head, the only part she knew of the song, of course, was Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can. That’s the only part I knew of it also, I’m 14 years old right now, and that song just stuck with me. Happens all the time with me. I hear a song when I was younger, and hear it again when I’m older and I know it.
