But back on October 15, 1973, when she released her now-iconic song "Jolene," Parton had no idea the song would come define her career.
On the heartfelt track Parton begs another woman not to steal her man — lyrics she says were inspired by a real-life situation.
"She got this terrible crush on my husband. And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention," Parton recalled in an interview with NPR.

"One night, I was on stage, and there was this beautiful little girl — she was probably 8 years old at the time. And she had this beautiful red hair, this beautiful skin, these beautiful green eyes, and she was looking up at me, holding, you know, for an autograph," Parton explained.
Since its 1973 release, the song has been covered by dozens of other artists from Beyoncé to Miley Cyrus to the White Stripes.
"People thought it was a very honest, open, and humble kind of song about the subject. Nobody had been writing about affairs from that side of it — to go to the person who was trying to steal your man," told Vulture.
