Dolly's songs: Original or not?


Hi there!:


How can I tell which songs did Mrs. Parton wrote speccifically for the movie?

I'd like to know which ones are "original" of the movie, and which aren't.

The same for the rest of her movies...


Thanks!

Any info:

Every song is original and written by Dolly (one co-written with her uncle Bill Owens)

Light Of A clear Blue Morning was written before the movie (in the 70's). I think there's another one too, but i don't remember what it is off the top of my head.

Yes LIGHT OF A CLEAR BLUE MORNIN was a hit for her back in 1977 and her first offical "pop" record after a decade as a country-only star. It was one of her lesser hits though only going to #11 country and #85 pop.

She also wrote the title song STRAIGHT TALK and sang it often on TV appearances at the time.

To be "Mrs. Parton" she'd have to be married to Mr. Parton. It's Ms. Parton.
