This was Dolly Parton’s “farewell” video from May 2026 — and none of us realized it. Or believed it. Or wanted to believe it.
Her last words to us were: “I will always love you. Thank you.”
The wit, the warmth, the talent, this clip is all of Dolly Parton in two minutes.
On Carson in 1977, she joked about playing her song at "78 speed," then did exactly that, fingerpicking flawlessly and beaming. Nobody did it like her.
