all about the good things in life : music and nature

[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA

@ThatEricAlper I love dropping the needle on Sarah McLachlan’s “Mirrorball”

@TheExtremeMusi1 Near impossible given the number of classic albums released in 1984, but if forced to choose only one release from the year it has to be Private Dancer by Tina Turner ♥️

[George Michael Official @GeorgeMOfficial]

We’re excited to announce that ‘George Michael: The Faith Tour’ is coming to the big screen later this year! 👀 Shot in Paris in 1988, the never-before-seen, long lost film has been restored & remastered. It will be introduced by an original short film from Mary McCartney.

[Joni Mitchell @jonimitchell]

On this day in 2000, Joni debuted ‘Both Sides Now.’ Released as a concept album, the record centers on orchestral arrangements of classic jazz songs, and only includes two of her own songs: “Both Sides Now” and “A Case of You.”
