Vinyl Me Please Celebrates Dolly Day with Big Vinyl + Merch Sale
Beyond Dolly Day, the world loves Dolly Parton…and VMP is spreading the love with a limited-time promotion
Since 2019, August 5th has been recognized by Nashvillians and those in Dollywood as Dolly Parton Day. No, it has nothing to do with her actual of birth (Jan 19), but the day does acknowledge a significant, pivotal moment in Dolly’s career: When the singer-songwriter darling made her debut on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium at the ripe age of 18. Former Nashville mayor David Briley selected the day of commemoration to acknowledge Parton’s philanthropic outreach and to celebrate a mighty 60+ music career, one that continues to inspire generations and the new league of pop stars ranging from Miley Cyrus to Beyoncé. The latter even covered Parton’s monumental song “Jolene” on her 2024 country-fusion LP Cowboy Carter which also contains a special appearance from the “9 to 5” superstar on the radio interlude of “Dolly P.”
And although Dolly Day isn’t nationally recognized – although we agree it should be, the popular record of the month vinyl mailing club Vinyl Me Please (www.vinylmeplease.com) has designed a loving way for vinyl enthusiasts to get involved and celebrate.
