Dolly Parton's heartfelt song "Coat of Many Colors" was written as a tribute to her father, Robert Lee Parton, who never learned to read. When she sang it to him for the first time, he was brought to tears. Although he couldn't understand every lyric, he knew the song was about him—and Dolly said that moment was one of the greatest compliments of her life.
