Parton joins forces with Pink, Pat Benatar, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford, and Annie Lennox for a dynamic “Jolene” rendition.

Dolly Parton delivered a stunning performance of “Jolene” during her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where she was joined on stage by an all-star ensemble including Pink, Sheryl Crow, Rob Halford, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, Brandi Carlile, and Simon Le Bon. The energy of the performance felt like a victory lap, celebrating Parton’s legendary career.

The song began with Parton singing the iconic hook before Pink joined in for the first verse, her excitement evident as she performed alongside the country music icon. Annie Lennox then took over for the next verse, with the chorus transforming into a powerful ensemble as all the stars joined in.

The star-studded lineup kept the energy high, with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran stepping up to the mic, followed by the powerful voices of Pat Benatar and metal icon Rob Halford.

The performance was a huge success, attracting 1.1 million viewers on YouTube, where fans filled the comments with praise such as, “Dolly has music coursing through her soul. She can sing and harmonize perfectly with anyone she sings with. Pure talent,” and “I love Dolly Parton’s inspiring, life-fulfilling spirit. She has a truly warm heart and an innovative spirit. God bless her!”

Pink also had the honor of inducting Dolly Parton into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 37th annual ceremony on November 5, 2022, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. That night, other legendary acts such as Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, and Judas Priest were also inducted.

Accompanied by the Zac Brown Band, Parton performed two songs at the ceremony, the second being “Rockin’ It,” which perfectly highlighted her enduring influence and artistic versatility.

Initially hesitant about her induction, Parton eventually embraced the honor. In her acceptance speech, she declared, “I’m a rock star now!” She went on to explain her earlier reservations, saying, “I didn’t feel like I had done enough to deserve that. But I’m so honored and proud to be here tonight.”
