Posted by TawnyTucker on January 19th, 2012

A Joyful Noise

Joyful Noise debuts this week at #1 on Billboard’s Soundtrack Chart, #1 on the Billboard Gospel chart, #2 on Billboard’s Christian chart, #2 on the Billboard Independent Current Albums chart, and landed a Top 20 debut on Billboard’s Top Current Albums chart.

The soundtrack features performances by Dolly Parton; Queen Latifah;  Keke Palmer;  Karen Peck; and Kirk Franklin. Five-time Grammy®, six-time Dove, two-time Stellar Award winner Mervyn Warren produced and arranged the Joyful Noise soundtrack.

Dolly wrote three new songs for the collection, “From Here to the Moon and Back,”  “Not Enough,” a duet with co-star Queen Latifah, and “He’s Everything,” which includes the film’s stars performing renditions of memorable songs originally recorded by a wide range of artists: Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Sly & the Family Stone, Usher, and Stevie Wonder.

The collection also includes tracks by some of the finest acts in gospel and R&B. Grammy winner Kirk Franklin wrote and takes the vocal reins on his jubilant new song “In Love,” and award-winning gospel vocalist Karen Peck creates harmonic gold on “Mighty High.”

Dolly Parton and Mervyn Warren will be featured on Sirius XM’s “The Bob Edwards Show” on Friday, January 20th.

Posted by TawnyTucker on December 28th, 2011

Dollywood_g1_100519-074452

According to PerezHilton.com, Dolly Parton is ready to make her amazing life a Broadway show!

“I’m writing my life story as a musical for Broadway. I probably won’t be in it but I’ll find a way to introduce it somehow, maybe the older me.”

“9 to 5 didn’t make it on Broadway but it didn’t sour me. I learned all this stuff from it.”

But, in the meantime, Dolly is hoping her current film, A Joyful Noise, with Queen Latifah will make it to Broadway.

“Joyful Noise would make a great Broadway show so maybe I’ll write music for that!”

What do you think Dolly’s Broadway musical should be called??

Dolly Parton & Queen Latifah Talk ‘Joyful Noise’ with Redbook

Posted by TawnyTucker on December 15th, 2011

The stars of Joyful Noise, Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah, chat with REDBOOK about their upcoming movie, friendship and childhoods.

REDBOOK: Tell us about your new movie, which is kind of like Glee set in the gospel world.

Dolly Parton: It’s about a small town struggling to stay afloat.
Queen Latifah: People are losing jobs, and this choir lifts them up.

REDBOOK: Did either one of you identify with the story?

Dolly Parton: Coming from a little town with a lot of hard knocks, I can relate. My grandpa was a preacher, and we had plenty of poor relatives.
Queen Latifah: I grew up singing church music in Bible school, where we kids [from East Orange, NJ] went during vacations to stay out of trouble. My aunt was a choir director and I used to go to rehearsal with her.
Dolly Parton: When I first started writing, recording and performing, it was a gospel. At our little Pentecostal church, we’d do hand-clapping and holy-roller moves.

REDBOOK: Had you known that about Dolly, Latifah?

Queen Latifah: No. I also found out she can rap! And I learned so much just watching her operate with her crew. She gets up and cooks breakfast for everyone, and then pulls 12 to 14 hours a day on set, and still makes friends and family feel they are important.

REDBOOK: What else did you two bond over?

Dolly Parton: We love to eat! I’ve been fighting that battle forever. Latifah would be like, “Damn you!” because I’d be cooking up chicken and dumplings and she’d be trying to diet…
Queen Latifah: Dolly would make this peanut brittle fudge and chocolate treat. I would try to stay away from that, but it would disappear.

Iconic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton is getting some “EXTRA” special treatment from Mario Lopez and the EXTRA TV crew! Tonight, EXTRA will debut a portion of the video on the daily syndicated entertainment magazine show with a link to watch it in its entirety from www.extratv.com. “The Sacrifice,” is the second single from her critically acclaimed latest album Better Day. The music video will be distributed to all video outlets worldwide starting November 15th.

 “’The Sacrifice’ is another song that is just so, totally, me. I think it’s so totally everybody that has a dream and desire to be successful, and in order to be successful we have to give up things that we’d rather not. But if we’re not willing to make that sacrifice usually we don’t see those dreams come true.”

In other Dolly news, she will return to the silver screen alongside Queen Latifah in Joyful Noise, a musically driven feature that tells the story of an unlikely partnership between two strong-minded women who are forced to work together to save a small town Gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut them down.“Joyful Noise will also feature musical contributions from Dolly. This marks Dolly’s return to movies, having starred in Steel Magnolias, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and the Academy Award-nominated 9-5.
