Jessica Simpson had an uncomfortable moment singing "Nine to Five" as part of the tribute to Parton, finishing the song abruptly with the words "so nervous" and quickly exiting, to no applause. She was in tears when she and the other singers in the tribute came back out. Country singer Reba McEntire told the audience Parton changed Nashville. "Once upon a time, a woman in Nashville was told what song to sing, in what clothes," she said. "Because of Dolly we’ve been writing, producing and singing our own music for some time now." Parton, 60, a country singer who has performed for more than four decades, is a Grammy-winner who also has appeared in movies such as "Nine to Five,""The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and "Steel Magnolias." And there is her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. CBS will broadcast the show Dec. 26 at 9 p.m. EST.
