DEF: Dolly Parton “Downtown”

In 1984, Dolly Parton released the album The Great Pretender, which featured remakes of popular hits from the 1950s and 1960s. Two songs from the album made appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, and on this date in 1984, the second of those two songs, a cover of Petula Clark’s “Downtown,” climbed to a peak position of number 80. Today, “Downtown” by Dolly Parton is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
