VIDEO: Dolly Parton performs ‘Jolene’ like never before
DOLLY Parton continues to astound the world with her ability to throw down a country music melody like no other, and at 70-years-young she's managing to adopt modern techniques to some of her old classics.
The iconic country singer has teamed up with a cappella group Pentatonix to bring her classic hit "Jolene" to the modern stage.
In a video posted by the Texas quintet, the group are seen performing the track with Dolly.
With only vocal cords as instruments, the band give the country classic a new twist, complete with perfect harmonies and a little beatboxing (It's now available on iTunes).
The day the video was released, Parton tweeted about the experience of singing with Pentatonix, calling it "pure magic."
Singing with @PTXofficial was pure magic, and we had lots of fun rearranging the song! #PTXDollyJolene

Of course, the band responded with sheer joy and excitement:
Singing with @DollyParton was a dream come true for us, and we had so much fun arranging the song! #PTXDollyJolene

Parton has performed "Jolene" with other artists in the past, including Katy Perry (at the 2016 ACM Awards), and her own goddaughter Miley Cyrus.
The song is like a beautiful gift that just keeps on giving.
