The musical world and beyond united to celebrate the life and impact of Dolly Parton, who representatives said died in Nashville after a brief battle with cancer yesterday.
She sold more than a hundred million records worldwide, writing over 3,000 songs in a career that spanned six decades.
Her music spoke to millions, and the breadth of her appeal gave her a status in US popular culture that few could ever replicate.
The fourth of twelve children, Parton's rise from Tennessee poverty became the embodiment of the American dream.
By the age of five, she was already writing songs.
And as she told 60 Minutes, Parton was inspired when her uncle encouraged her to get on stage for a local show.
Parton got a big break on TV in 1967 after she was introduced by the country music singer Porter Wagner.
Pretty
Wagner actually inspired the song I Will Always Love You, which Parton wrote around the same time as Jolene.
And that hit writing talent, coupled with an outsized personality, propelled her to national stardom.
Michelle Jackson is a contributing writer for The New Yorker and has written about Parton's enduring popularity.
She was in part defined by her distinct look, something Michelle Jackson says was central to her identity.
Over the course of her life, Parton also became known for her philanthropy.
Her Imagination Library, which she created in honor of her father, has donated more than 300 million books to children all over the world.
Jackson called Parton a true diplomat for the way she inspired and appealed to a wide range of people.
But as a somewhat reluctant icon, she mostly sidestepped questions about her role as a feminist leader, though she finally admitted to being one in an interview.
Well, yeah.
In two thousand and two, on an appearance on the Late Late Show in Ireland, Parton was also asked how she wants to be remembered.
Now let's turn to new research, which has underscored the concerning links between the NFL and brain damage.
At least 25% of former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE.
