This is a tough one. Sucks to see such a great human being gone too soon. You left your mark on us, Dolly, and you were a legend. RIP

RIP to a legend.

As someone already said here, she left this place better than she found it.

Dolly had a storybook life and was happy to share it with everyone.
It has been said, it’s not what you take from this world, it’s what you leave behind. She left plenty.
RIP Dolly.

Ties to Louisiana
quote:

Parton achieved worldwide stardom during her 60 years in the spotlight, but before the fame, her music career can be traced back to Lake Charles. Parton recorded her first single, “Puppy Love,” at Goldband Studio on Church Street in 1959, when she was just 13. Goldband Records was one of the largest Cajun music labels but also produced other types of music, including gospel, blues and rockabilly.

80 is “too soon” now? Very sad that she passed, but I would say that she lived a full and complete life. Who the frick wants to be 90 anyway?

Who is the a-hole that's downvoting every comment? Reveal yourself, fool.

Looks like at least two of them, probably very sad folks that Dolly would still treat with respect and love.

I'm amazed by how many of my friends kids, and the kids in my family are upset by this.

Edit for the people downvoting me: I meant its amazing that an 80 year old country music star and actress resonates with people so young. Even though her hey day was many decades ago, she still had a huge impact on modern America.

For those with Sirius, Prime Country and Willie's Roadhouse are both doing tributes.

My parents tell me that they took me to the Opry as a child. Apparantly all I could talk about was getting home to tell everyone I had seen Dolly. I wish I could actually remember this :)

One could argue that she is the most impactful person in East Tennessee in the last century.

Legend.

Usually there's always some contrarian out there that will have something mean to say, but she seemed to always be a positive person that did the most to uplift without being divisive and nothing but positive.

One of my favorite things she ever did was when she released that rock album to be legit because she was inducted into the Rock Hall. Her Purple Rain cover was beautiful.

RIP to the Queen of the South

My major professor at ULM grew up with her (neighbors, so to speak) in the TN. hills.
