according to The Kerryman's report of Dolly's trip to Ireland in 1990 she paid a visit to an empty St. James's Church in Dingle and spontaneously belted out Amazing Grace, which means she is basically the spirit queen of Other Voices

a page from The Kerryman newspaper, dated 5th October 1990extract from the newspaper reads: Earlier in the week she had done a little shopping in Dingle buying a hat in McKenna's drapery. She also visited St. James' Church of Ireland in Dingle where the empty pews were treated to a version of Amazing Grace the likes of which was never heard there before. "It was sweet and beautiful and it was so nice I just felt like singin' — I couldn't help it," she said.
