From The Independent archive: Robert Webb on an affair to remember – Dolly Parton’s pleading, powerful hit ‘Jolene’
THE OTHER WOMAN

Dolly Parton used to introduce live versions of “Jolene” with a story. It was that the song was about an affair her husband, the country music television celebrity Porter Wagoner, had had. Parton sang as a cheated wife, pleading for her husband’s mistress, the seductive Jolene, not to take him. It was a good tale and a powerful song, but the scenario was entirely of Parton’s invention. Although they were on the verge of separating, Parton was certain that Wagoner had been faithful.
