Dolly Parton has teamed up with Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah, and Reba McEntire for a new version of her classic hit, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” which marks the 50th anniversary of Dolly writing the song.
Originally written and recorded 50 years ago in 1976, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” has long been considered one of Parton’s most inspirational songs. An Instagram post from Parton announcing the remake reads: “My new recording and music video for “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” featuring @laineywilson, @mileycyrus, @queenlatifah and @reba is out now. I hope this song brings you lots of love & light.
The music video for the remake – which was produced by Parton and Kent Wells and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge – features all of the ladies recording in the studio. The new rendition of Light of a Clear Blue Morning also features the legendary David Foster on piano, and backing vocals by The Christ Church Choir. See the video: HERE.
Parton shares: “I wrote ‘Light of a Clear Blue Morning’ during a season when I was searching for hope, and fifty years later that message still feels just as true. As I celebrate my 80th birthday, this new version is my way of using what I’ve been blessed with to shine a little light forward, especially by sharing it with some truly incredible women.” (per People).
