Betty White says her favorite country song is a Dolly Parton hit

There is a connection between two of the most legendary ladies around, Betty White and Dolly Parton. Turns out that Betty White’s favorite country song is a hit by Dolly Parton. She once opened up in an interview about her love of country music and one of Dolly’s catchiest tunes.

Betty shared, “Country music tells stories, and it’s also basic. It’s the kind of music that reaches right inside of you because it’s simple and it’s direct. I just enjoy it thoroughly. It’s relaxing and nostalgic. It can turn on some lovely memories and sometimes some poignant ones.”

Betty said that her favorite song is Dolly’s “9 to 5” because it is so uplifting. She continued, “I like Dolly’s whole approach to life with ongoing and uplifting songs. I never met Dolly but everything I ever heard about her she was a great gal to know and you could kind of get it in her music and her voice and her approach to lyrics.”
