Now, State Sen. Jessie Seal of New Tazewell said he is pushing a bill to make Sept. 25 “9 to 5 Day” as a tribute to Dolly Parton’s musical legacy and the famous song.
Seal said, “Dolly will go down as one of the most legendary Tennesseans of all time. Not only will her music stand the test of time but so will her legacy of faith and kindness. She embodied the true Volunteer State spirit like no other. While every day is a fitting day to honor Dolly ‘9 to 5 Day’ will give Tennesseans an opportunity each year to set aside a little extra time to listen to one of her most iconic songs and reflect on the once-in-a-century legend.”
