I first started listening to and watching Dolly Parton on TV when I was a kid. I never disliked her as a person, but I've never liked her voice much at all. I felt her best work was with Kenny Rogers, although I was never a fan of him, either. But Dolly Parton has a major mass appeal which is undeniable. You've got people she is closely associated with such as Emmylou Harris which I find much more appealing. But it's Dolly which gets the attention. People seem to love her. I've never understood it, but I would never try to stop it. I doubt if there are too many people you would be able to name who covered a Beatles song and were able to get Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to come over to help them out on it. And that's just one example among many. One of my favorite sci-fi TV shows "The Orville" had almost an entire episode devoted to Dolly Parton. Of course, that didn't surprise me. At this point, nothing about Dolly surprises me. Her being in the RRHOF doesn't surprise me, either, in spite of the fact that, obviously, she is nowhere close to being a rocker. Besides that, she isn't the only one to do this sort of thing.
So here is Pat Boone. BTW, I once saw him in person kind of by accident. I had a Brazilian friend who had to speak at an event. Pat Boone, for some reason, was there, too. My friend got pretty ticked off, though, that Pat Boone thought they spoke Spanish, not Portuguese in Brazil. That's a mistake that it's way better not to make with Brazilians.
