Dolly Parton may not turn 80-years-old until Monday (January 19), but the timeless music diva is kicking the celebration off early and bringing along some A-list friends to help.

Nearly 50 years after watching her 1977 hit ‘Light of a Clear Blue Morning’ light up U.S. Country charts, Parton is poised to repeat the feat with the inspirational tune’s updated version featuring Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, Queen Latifah, and Miley Cyrus.

“I wrote ‘Light of a Clear Blue Morning’ during a season when I was searching for hope, and fifty years later that message still feels just as true,” Parton said in a statement about the song. “As I celebrate my 80th birthday, this new version is my way of using what I’ve been blessed with to shine a little light forward, especially by sharing it with some truly incredible women.”

Released Friday (January 16), proceeds from the song and its official music video will benefit the pediatric cancer research program at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
