“Dance With Dolly” is  a 1978 12″ single by country music legend Dolly Parton released on hot pink vinyl by RCA Records. The 12″ features two disco mixes of tracks from Dolly’s twentieth solo studio album Heartbreaker. The release was Parton’s first ever 12″ single, and Disco hit.

“Baby I’m Burnin'” was written by Parton who also produced the track with Gary Klein and Charles Koppelman who served as executive producer. The song was first released on Parton’s twentieth solo studio album Heartbreaker in July 1978. “Baby I’m Burnin'” was released as the first single from the album on November 6, 1978, by RCA Victor.

Billboard reviewed the single and called it “a high-energy change of pace for Parton.” The review went on to say Parton’s vocals “punch against the cooking groove of a track” which is “highlighted by horns and syn drums.”[1] Billboard reviewed the single again the following week, this time calling the song “a fiery rocker” and saying that it had “a disco edge at times.” They added that “Parton’s crispy, high-pitched vocals add to the rockish feel.

“Baby I’m Burnin'” peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 48 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and number 11 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The disco remix peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart her first-ever entry on that chart.

The 12″ single was backed with the album track “I Wanna Fall In Love” extending the two-minute track to a sweltering five-minute Disco anthem.
