RIP Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton is one of the most recognisable and successful figures in country music. Born in Tennessee in 1946, she grew up in a poor family but developed a passion for music from an early age.

Her breakthrough came in the late 1960s, leading to legendary hits including “Jolene”, “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You”. Her talents extended beyond singing, with success as a songwriter, actress and businesswoman. She also became famous for her generosity and charitable work, particularly through her Imagination Library literacy programme.

Dolly Parton died in 2026, aged 80, bringing an extraordinary six-decade career to an end. She leaves behind a remarkable musical legacy and remains one of the most loved and influential entertainers in American history.
