Dolly Parton Reimagines 'Light of a Clear Blue Morning' With Cyrus, Wilson, Queen Latifah and McEntire for Charity

Net proceeds support pediatric cancer research at Vanderbilt to underscore Parton’s 80th‑birthday message of hope.

Overview

  • Parton released the single and a studio-shot video on Jan. 16 featuring Miley Cyrus, Lainey Wilson, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire.
  • David Foster plays piano with The Christ Church Choir on backing vocals, with production by Parton and Kent Wells and a mix by Chris Lord‑Alge.
  • Net proceeds from the recording and video benefit pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
  • Parton cast the re-recording as a hopeful prelude to her 80th birthday on Jan. 19, revisiting a song she first issued in 1977.
  • As she limits public appearances during ongoing treatments after postponing a Las Vegas residency, she will not attend the Opry’s Jan. 17 tribute in her honor.
