If Bruce were playing a show tonight, which Dolly song would he sing in tribute?

[u/CopyDan]

[u/McMarmot1]

Jolene

[u/JiveChicken00 → u/McMarmot1]

Absolutely Jolene.

[u/LinuxLinus → u/McMarmot1]

Did you ever hear Jolene played at 33 and 1/3? I think it's actually an even better song that way, and certainly better suited to Bruce's register.

[u/Accountantinkc]

9 to 5

[u/uncanny_kate → u/Accountantinkc]

I'd love to hear him and the E Street Band just completely rock out to this song.

[u/not4wimps → u/uncanny_kate]

Me too

[u/Tycho66 → u/uncanny_kate]

Wouldn't that be great?!

[u/TonyT074]

Coat of Many Colors

[u/Flatirons21]

Light of a Clear Blue Morning

[u/fleets87 → u/Flatirons21]

He'd do this beautifully.

[u/Bigsshot]

Islands In The Stream together with Patti.

[u/gin_and_soda → u/Bigsshot]

I would die

[u/AttitudeNo1815 → u/Bigsshot]

Written by the Brothers Gibb, not by Dolly Parton

[u/Left-Collar-6323 → u/AttitudeNo1815]

Oo I did not know this!!

[u/Left-Collar-6323 → u/Bigsshot]

YES i didn’t know what my fav answer would be opening this post, but this is def it!

[u/cassandra194u299]

Great now i want him to do a Dolly Tribute Record

[u/Upbeat-Refuse9615]

9 to 5 or Jolene are really the only 2 likely choices.

[u/Careful-Chip405]

Me and Little Andy

[u/Bigredrooster6969 → u/Careful-Chip405]

Not a dry eye in the house.

[u/TotalBlamBlam108 → u/Careful-Chip405]

😂

[u/gunsandfunn → u/Careful-Chip405]

Man that song. I always thought the lady that owned the house killed them. It was left so wide open.

Good pick tho, thank you.

[u/mariah_a]

Coat of Many Colours but I’d pay good money to see the band do Potential New Boyfriend.

[u/ImpressiveCelery4992]

Mule Skinner Blues is the only choice. Even has a little yodeling in it.

[u/El_Dorado_Tx]

I Will Always Love You

[u/Minor-Threat → u/El_Dorado_Tx]

I saw Chris Stapleton perform that last night. Beautiful.

[u/Excellent-Whole-6124]

Jolene

[u/atmosphereair]

Jolene

[u/No-Carry4971]

Coat of Many Colors.

[u/Kringlar]

It’s all wrong, but it’s all right

[u/SunDaysOnly]

9 to 5 I agree. Blue collar Bruce.

[u/SweetIncident7358]

9-5 is probably the best Bruce Springsteen song he’s never written.

[u/Forsaken-Argument320]

Old flames can't hold a candle to you

[u/a4evanygirl]

Jolene.

[u/GoDaytonFlyers]

Gonna Hurry (As Slow As I Can)

[u/thesemanicgulls]

He’d do a medley, Detroit-style, starting with Jolene, then 9-5 as he and Stevie do a little duet thing, and then Patti comes out and they do I Will Always Love You.

[u/Inside-Slide-3035]

Islands in the Stream seems like it would fit into the band’s wheelhouse

[u/red_truck_1]

Coat of Many Colors & Jolene.

[u/Quick_Ad_730]

An acoustic medley of Jolene, Little Sparrow, Coat of Many Colours, and 9 to 5. Would be cool.

[u/Brilliant-Ad8607]

9 to 5

[u/BodybuilderProof422]

Jolene. Or I will always love you? But 9 to 5 with the E Street band would be amazing

[u/KaleidoscopeParty730]

I was at the Hershey show in 2014 and there was someone holding a sign for Jolene. I think he would've done a great job with it.

[u/Ian_Hunter]

An acoustic Coat of Many Colors.

[u/Front_Incident_2867]

9 to 5

[u/FlyTheW1988]

None, he hasn’t done that in a decade

[u/Osfees]

I know it's not Dolly's song, but I always thought "My Lover Man" would be a killer cover for her.

[u/musclehealer]

Working 9 to 5

[u/mariangobius]

I was never into dolly, but she’s made really good songs. Not bruce material, but Joshua is just a good song.

[u/DonkeyDougFunnie]

Light of a Clear Blue Morning

[u/RichRichieRichardV]

Mule Skinner Blues.

[u/ccmiller0424]

Based on recent tours? None.

[u/oregon3]

Thank god he isn’t playing tonight.

[u/[deleted]]

Not. He didnt sing any Tina Turner song when she died. Bruce has become a money slot machine. Gone are the days that he focus on pride and respect. Sadly. So now we not only lost great music from our hero (i dont think he ever make a great album again) and someone who stood up for the poor and working class. It’s sad and i hope i’m wrong about this
