Dolly Parton has passed away at age 80 — Page 3

I’m a gay man who doesn’t know a loooot of Dolly’s songs or know that much about her as so many others do. I saw her wonderful work in Steel Magnolias, preferred her haunting “I Will Always Love You” to Whitney’s, and fell in love with her “Jolene”. I saw bits of her 9 to 5 movie and musical. I saw her sing a few times on camera (thanks for pointing me to “Baby I’m Burnin’”, it’s great!), and I know of Dollywood and would love to go. And my cousins use her program that she started that sends free books to kids, for their child. She seemed like someone who spread joy and light to everyone she met. She will be missed, but we have her work and she’s probably performing in paradise.

ps. Did she really have a secret song that will get released on her 100th birthday?!

Yes she did. It is currently locked away at Dollywood on a CD. It is scheduled to be released on what would have been her 100th Birthday.
