Jan 22, 2019

It comes as no surprise to those who have followed the career of Miley Cyrus that one day she would belt out the classic song, "Jolene."

Miley is the daughter of legendary country singer Billy Cyrus as well as the goddaughter to the iconic Dolly Parton. With genes and an upbringing like that, nobody was shocked to learn that Miley had her own set of amazing vocal cords.

The former child star has gone way beyond her days starring as Hannah Montana.

She has often said that she learned the trade of singing from the very best, being raised by Billy and having the opportunity to hang around Dolly so often as a child. Dolly would even guest star on Miley's popular program, playing Hannah Montana's aunt.

The 1973 hit is widely regarded as Dolly's most famous song. The tune was even recognized as one of the 500 greatest songs of all time by "Rolling Stone", solidifying its place in history. Many artists have covered the song, including Norah Jones and John Mayer.

"I learned from the very best, ya know about makin' music. I learned from my aunt Dolly Parton. And so I thought to celebrate, it would only be right if we did a little bit of 'Jolene'!"

It will be impossible for anyone to top Dolly's legendary performance of "Jolene." But Miley certainly comes close in this touching rendition. You can just feel the love and respect that Miley has for her godmother and she belts out the tune with both precision and awe.

After you have checked out this impressive performance for yourself, be sure to make sure that everyone that you know also has the chance to take a listen. A performance this stunning should not be kept to yourself.
