Coat of Many Colors - Dolly Parton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Coat of Many Colors" is a song by country music legend Dolly Parton. It was written by Dolly Parton herself and serves as the title track of her 1971 album of the same name, delving into themes of love, acceptance, and the richness of life beyond material wealth. The song was originally written in 1969 on a dry cleaning receipt while touring with Porter Wagoner. It tells the story of a coat her mother sewed from rags, relating it to the biblical tale of Joseph's Coat of Many Colors. It's a touching portrayal of a child who feels rich in love despite poverty and uses that framing as a springboard for exploring themes such as bullying and the importance of parental love. Its tender acoustic backing and blend of folk and country styles make it an instantly memorable song, and one of many highlights in Dolly Parton's storied career. "Coat of Many Colors" reached number 4 on the US country singles charts. It also spawned a 1996 children's picture book and was included in the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry in 2011.
