Country or Western was not really my thing but some truly epic songs from this small, but great, woman.

RIP

Likewise, C&W is not my thing but everyone should have a Dolly Parton ‘Greatest Hits’ in their collection/on play this evening.

Her work with the Imagination Library should never be overlooked too. My two children benefit from a free book each every month. She’s made reading so accessible for so many.

RIP to a wonderful woman.

Her foundation pays for 25 million books per month, just incredible.

I know she wrote Jolene, and I Will Always Love You, but only today did I discover that she wrote them in the same day!

Incredible talent.

Wrote 3,000 songs. C&W not my music of choice either, but huge respect to such a career and her literacy work.

3,000+ songs, 100 million+ record sales, came from nothing, reached the top but never forgot her roots.



RIP Dolly.

An all time Great, very fondly remembered. Lovely Tribute by her family.

Too many good people dying. Can't they just stop and let the bastards take their place

We had books from Dolly, an absolutely amazing thing to do.

I know of another 80 year old who would be a prime candidate for swapsies

Sorry Boris but this is a bit of an unnecessary post.

As for Dolly, what a true great for so many reasons. RIP

An incredible woman who lived an incredible life.

It's plain to see how many people's lives she improved in some way.

RIP.

Jolene is a classic, even if you don’t like country music that is a banger.

Also, looking at photos of a young Dolly Parton, how fit was Jolene that she could take her man?

I'll echo most of the other posts. Country music really not my thing, but she was a compassionate and generous woman with a wonderful sense of (self-deprecating) humour.

The world is poorer for her loss. RIP

What a load of tosh

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Yes, absolute rubbish. Some people need to spend their time more usefully.

 

[Marston Road Yellow]

For me I think her music was ok, with a couple of amazing songs, Her legacy as a human being was incredible.

I think she sums up what America could be. Larger than life a bit flashy and a bit of a show off but ultimately loving, caring and generous.

RIP Dolly.
