‘Book compares Parton-Streisand

By JOE EDWARDS

NASHVILLE, ‘Tenn.
(AP) — The author of a
book about women
country music singers
compares Dolly Parton to
Barbra Streisand.

Joan Dew, author of
Singers and Sweethearts,
says both Miss Parton
and Miss Streisand “have
an uncanny sene of what
is right for them.”

“Streisand came to
Hollywood and prac-
tically directed her first
movie,” said Mrs. Dew

‘who has written sever.

magazine articles about
Hollywood stars, “She
stepped on a lot of toes.’

‘ n Dolly wanted to
renegotiate her contract
she got on a plane an
flew to New York and
made the deal herself.
She is like a horse with
blinders on. Music is her
life; her career is
everything.”

Both women have
achieved individuality in
ways that might have
been drawbacks, she
said.

“Dolly has outrageous
clothes and wigs,’’ she
said. “‘Anyone else who
tried to do that would look
like a fake.

“Streisand would have
had her nose fixed, but
she’s made it work for

her.”

Mrs. Dew'’s book,
published by Doubleday-
olphin and the Country

Music Magazine Press,

has chapters on Laretta. -

Lynn, Tammy Wynette
June’ Carter Cash and
Tanya Tucker besides
Miss Parton.

FASCINATING WOMAN

_ “Dolly is the most
fascina personality,
She has a quality of

mystery about her and is

career is planned out; I
think she'll cross over
into other things like
Streisand.”

Mrs. Dew says that
Loretta Lynn is ‘‘the
unhappiest and the
loneliest” of the country
singers.

e lives in the back of
her bus because she’s on
the road 20 days a month;
she doesn't have the
confidence or where-
withal—the sense of
herself—to go to her
husband or manager and
say she wants to change
her life. She has to be told
what to do. She’s never
had to make a decision. I
don’t think she knows
how, to check into a ho-

June Carter is “a wife
and mother first and a
rformer second,” Mrs.
Ww writes. “But she’s as
ambitious as the rest.”

She
Wynette,
Parton, “‘is a very good
businesswoman.”

“She has a talent for
surrounding herself with
good people. When she’s

women like to do, like run

“Tanya, for her age, is
very mature. She's as
professional a performer
as you'll ever run into.
She'd like to get more in-
volved in her
management and she'd
be a very good business-
woman. And she’s a
damn hard worker.”

“The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading, while we

are young.”
