Dolly Parton and “He’s Alive”: A Story of Faith, Power, and Redemption
When Dolly Parton first decided to include “He’s Alive” on her 1989 album White Limozeen, many in Nashville were surprised. Known mostly for her sparkling country hits, her witty songwriting, and her ability to move between pop and country with ease, Dolly was not the artist people expected to deliver one of the most powerful gospel ballads of her generation. And yet, in typical Dolly fashion, she not only sang it — she transformed it into one of the most unforgettable performances in country music history.
