I shall confess I was late to the Dolly Parton bandwagon. I was never a big country music fan. Way back when, in the Ed Sullivan show days, I didn't clamor to stay up to watch her. I was a Motown gal - Diana Ross, etc.
BUT. Whitney singing "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton. Now, that was a wow of a song.
Dolly in movies - 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias - absolutely
And as I aged, I appreciated reading interviews about her. Smart, funny, clever, creative. A superb businesswoman who cared about people.
Her Inspiration Library - another WOW of a humble use of her money. The gift of a book to a child opens a world of possibilities. And, of course, her contribution to science - funding for the COVID vaccine to save lives.
Dolly Parton - RIP at age 80. We were lucky to have her around and her legacy will live on - a genuinely good person.
