Encapsulated Handwritten Memo: Authored by Dolly Parton
This entry showcases an intimate, primary-source piece of country music, pop culture, and American entertainment history: an original 5" x 7" lined notepad memo handwritten in black felt-tip marker by legendary singer, songwriter, and philanthropist Dolly Parton. Encapsulated in a protective Beckett Grading Services (BGS) slab, this personal handwritten note offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of one of music's most beloved figures.
Inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly Parton stands as one of the most decorated artists of all time. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, 11 Grammy Awards, and iconic multi-platinum hits like "Jolene", "9 to 5", and "I Will Always Love You", Parton has earned enduring global acclaim.
Written in her distinctive cursive script on red-margin notebook paper, the note features instructions regarding household tasks ("Set all clocks (I set a few) I couldn't do the one in my little bathroom downstairs or the big fat round one. Set all micro-wave TV etc."). The top header includes the notation "Ms. D - Changed Batteries Done" added in another hand.
The handwritten document is encapsulated in a tamper-evident Beckett Grading Services protective holder (Certification Number: 00012078058) featuring a silver "AUTHENTIC HANDWRITING" label. Additionally, the item comes with a full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (Certification Number: BB24625), confirming that all script handwriting was penned directly by Dolly Parton. Preserved in pristine condition, this dual-authenticated manuscript piece serves as a unique centerpiece for country music archivists and Dolly Parton enthusiasts.
