Parton, Evans go with "Pink"

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 – Dolly Parton and Sara Evans are part of a quartet of singers, who put out "Pink," in an effort to fight breast cancer.

Rita Wilson, herself a survivor, Monica and Jordin Sparks also sing on the project.

The song benefits Susan G. Komen, the world's leading breast cancer organization.

The lyrics and vocals provide listeners with hope for a future when no one loses someone to breast cancer and "PINK is just another color." Each year breast cancer kills more than 42,000 women and men in the U.S. alone.

"After performing at Opry Goes Pink last year, I'm thrilled to be supporting Susan G. Komen again this year in a very big way," said Evans. "There is something magical that happens when women band together to have a positive impact on the world for our sisters and our daughters."

The song is written by Erin Kinsey, Jodi Marr and Victoria Shaw, produced by Shaw and distributed by Brighter Day Records.

Paula Schneider, CEO of Susan G. Komen, said, "As a breast cancer survivor who lost my mother to metastatic breast cancer, I know first-hand the toll this disease takes on entire families. There is life before breast cancer and life after. We all dream of a world when pink is just another color."

In 2022, when she was elected to ...
CD review - Run Rose Run The Dolly Parton album, "Run, Rose, Run," is an aural companion to an original novel of the same name that the county music icon co-authored with popular novelist, James Patterson. Songs are inspired by characters in the book, and encouragement is a primary lyrical theme, from start to finish. It's simply put, one feel good collection of songs. This country star has given us a decidedly traditional country album. "Driven," for example, incorporates plenty of fiddle and ...
CD review - A Holly Dolly Christmas A Dolly Parton Christmas album seems like a natural, as Parton oftentimes comes off like a child inside an adult's body. Parton was able to rope both famous Cyruses (Miley and Billy Ray) as well Jimmy Fallon, Willie Nelson and Michael Bublé to sing with her. Perhaps, best of all, Parton had a hand in writing half of these dozen songs. Parton sounds great throughout, and into her 70s, her voice has lost none of its power. Sonically, Parton also isn't shy about infusing ...
