Goddess of country and pop music Dolly Parton successfully makes her crossover debut with her son 9 to 5, which rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs in January and Billboard Hot 100 on February 21, 1981. She wrote for the movie of the same name with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. Dolly became the second woman to top both country singles and Hot 100 with the same song. (Jeannie C. Riley was the first in 1968 with Harper Valley PTA.)
It got her an Oscar nomination and four Grammy nominations. She won for Best Country Song and Best Country Vocal Performance, Female. It has become an anthem for office workers across the U.S. American Film Institute rated it #78 on its "100 years, 100 songs" list.
