Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Dolly Parton stated that;
This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that’s happened. I had no idea that I would be in Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honored.
I’ve had a lot of people help me get here. Thanks to all of you and all of them for helping me have all of this.
I’ve loved being able to make a living in the business that I love so much. I’ve been so fortunate to see my dreams come true, and I just hope to continue for as long as I can. You’re going to have to knock me down to stop me!
Dolly Parton started creating hit songs back in 1967 with “Dumb Blonde” and “Something Fishy”. Most recently she achieved success on the Billboard list with her latest duets with Reba McEntire for “Does He Love You” and Michael Bublé for “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas.”
