Unlike many of the numerous Dolly Parton hits collections, 16 BIGGEST HITS covers the entirely of the diminutive powerhouse's career instead of focusing solely on her early traditional country material or her later slick pop hits. Here, "Jolene" and "Coat of Many Colors" sit comfortably next to "9 To 5" and "Islands in the Stream." A budget line compilation with fine sound but minimal packaging, this is a nice one-stop beginning for newcomers looking only for the biggest singles.
Best known as one of the most beloved singers in country music, Dolly Parton is also a successful screen actress. Her greatest talent, songwriting, may also be her least heralded: Parton has penned numerous classics, among them "Coat of Many Colors," "Kentucky Gambler," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You." Her first hits came in the 1960s via her duets with Porter Wagoner, but on her own she skyrocketed to fame with an angelic voice, potent songs, and a style that distinctively mixed folk, country, pop, and bluegrass.
