“When they said they were going to put me in it, I didn’t know if I deserved it….And I said if they must put me in I would accept it gracefully, which I did, and was very honored and proud. But because I got [an award] I wasn’t sure of, I thought I’m going to have to earn that title, and immediately started working on a rock and roll album that will come out in the early fall.”
When nominated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly felt as though she didn’t deserve it. She urged voters to give their votes to someone more deserving, but she ended up winning regardless. After accepting the award, Dolly immediately went to work to create a project she felt was Hall of Fame worthy.
