Who is (I believe) the only person ever to be featured on the cover of @NewYorker, @Playboy and @RollingStone magazine? Of course the one and only @DollyParton. ❤️

My Dolly Parton report for CBC Radio's main morning newscast World Report.

"What was it that made Dolly Parton so great. The talent of course, the beautiful, distinctive soprano. There was also the honesty of her lyrics."

DOLLY MOMENT #10 (final) - Dolly sings "I Will Always Love You" to Porter Wagoner one final time in 2007. In the late 1980's Dolly Parton bought Wagoner's catalog to help him pay off his IRS tax debt. She gave it back to him for free.

DOLLY MOMENT #7 - A beautiful tribute to Dolly by @Pink.

[Ryan Hodgson @Ryanintheus]

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton (1946–2026) 💔

I don’t even know how to put this into words. We lost one of the true greats today, not just in country music, but in music, period. Dolly Parton was a songwriter, a singer, an actress, a businesswoman, a philanthropist, and one of the kindest hearts this industry has ever seen.

“Jolene.” “9 to 5.” “Coat of Many Colors.” “I Will Always Love You.” These aren’t just songs, they’re pieces of all our lives because we grew up listening to them. Dolly wrote music that crossed generations, crossed genres, crossed borders. And beyond the stage, through the Imagination Library, she put books into the hands of millions of kids and changed lives in ways most artists never even attempt.

There will never be another Dolly. The rhinestones may have stopped shining today, but her music, her humor, her heart, those infectious attributes of hers aren’t going anywhere. She will shine forever.

I think this incredible tribute by @Pink captures the greatness of Dolly’s life!

Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for the songs, the laughs, the memories, and everything you gave the world. ❤️🕊️
