Although Dolly Parton’s 1974 hit “Jolene” has had its share of versions throughout the years, this one is hands down our favorite since the vocal leads include the country goddess herself.
On Tuesday evening’s episode of NBC’s The Voice, Parton was joined by her goddaughter and singing competition judge, Miley Cyrus to perform the song on the top 10 results show. The two were also accompanied by Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix, who gave the track their expected signature polish. We would pay good money to see the seven vocalists captivate an audience again the way they did with this stunning cover.

But, we weren’t the only ones with our jaws on the floor. Viewers at home also showed their love for the show-stopping performance.
Legit Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, and Pentatonix singing "Jolene" tonight gave me life. #TheVoice
