Ode To Olivia written by Stella Parton
More about Ode To Olivia by Stella Parton.
Quite a few customers out there in readerland want to know how Stella Parton “stacks up” with older and better known sister Dolly.
Here’s the answer direct from modest Dolly: “Stella sings better and is prettier than I am.” Yeah, but there are certain areas where she does not stack up with Dolly.
Meanwhile, Stella’s recording of “Ode to Olivia” is being played on the radio. (The “Olivia” is Olivia Newton-John, in case you don’t keep score on such matters.)
Stella wrote and recorded the song in response to reaction of many country entertainers to Olivia’s award as the best country female vocalist.
“I’m not putting anyone down.” Stella explained. “Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. The song expresses mine.”
