"The Seeker" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton. It was released as the first single from Parton's 1975 album, Dolly , and was also a top ten single on the U.S. country charts. A spiritual, which Parton described as her "talk with God", the song was released as a single in July 1975, just missing the top spot on the U.S. country singles chart; it peaked at #2.[1]
Two decades later, Parton rerecorded the song for her 1995 album Something Special . Nelly Furtado covered this song for the film The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom .[2] Merle Haggard who, in his 1981 autobiography, Sing Me Back Home, would confess his infatuation with Parton, also recorded the song. The British band The New Seekers recorded a version of the song in 1976.
