Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! tonight? Today’s Jeopardy! results will go up on this page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

The album, Pure & Simple, was Parton’s first #1 country album since 1991’s Eagle When She Flies (by Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart), though both 2008’s Backwoods Barbie and 2014’s Blue Smoke reached #2.

The specific “my Love of Many Colors album” quote comes from this interview with Nash Country Daily.
