If You Hadn’t Been ThereDolly Parton10rank/position

Dolly Parton – If You Hadn’t Been There (Official Audio)

A gentle ballad woven with piano and strings is layered with the richly emotive vocals of Dolly Parton, the queen of American country music.

Dedicated to her husband, Carl Dean—who supported her unwaveringly throughout her six-decade career—this exquisite love song was released in March 2025 following his passing.

Its plainspoken lyrics, tender, enveloping melody, and gospel-tinged arrangement are in beautiful harmony.

Released on Parton’s own label, the track is also slated for inclusion in her musical, “Dolly: An Original Musical.” It’s a song to turn to when you want to feel the bond with someone dear.

Galantis & Dolly Parton – Faith (feat. Mr. Probz) [JØRD Remix] {Official Audio}

“Faith (feat.

Mr.

Probz),” a popular song by Galantis, Dolly Parton, and Mr.

Probz.

This “Faith (feat.

Mr.

Probz) [JØRD Remix]” is a remix version by JØRD.

It deepens the vibe without disrupting the feel of the original.

The tempo is also a bit faster, so I think it’s perfect for cycling.

Listening to it will lift your spirits!

Christmas Without You Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton

A gem of a duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, tenderly singing of the loneliness and poignancy of a Christmas without a loved one.

Their perfectly blended harmonies and warm voices accentuate the longing for a lost romance.

With strings and piano arranged to gently envelop the listener, the music conjures up scenes of Christmas—snowy landscapes and crackling fireplaces.

Released in October 1984 on the album “Once Upon a Christmas,” it was also performed around the same time on a CBS television special.

More than just sweet, this song carries a bittersweet note that sinks deep into the heart on a quiet Christmas night spent alone.
