And she wrote quickly.
She said she may have written Jolene and I Will Always Love You on the same night.
She was versatile, collaborating with artists including Lizzo and Paul McCartney on a cover of his track Let It Be.
She acted, wrote a memoir, developed a wholesome theme park called Dollywood, created a charity that gave more than 200 million books to kids, and died with a net worth north of $450 million.
The world's first cloned sheep was named after her, having been cloned from a memory cell.
People had to respect her grit.
Her parents, a tenant farmer and homemaker, were so poor that the doctor who delivered her was paid with a bag of cornmeal.
She had a songwriting deal before she finished high school, and when she grew more popular than Porter Wagoner, a singer she teamed up with in 1967 on songs including Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man, he became jealous and abusive.
And she struck out on her own.
She proved savvy without being cutthroat, at least not in public.
She was serious about her Christian faith, releasing religious songs such as There Was Jesus, a collaboration with Zack Williams.
But she easily poked fun at herself.
She twice declined the Presidential Medal of Freedom for fear of appearing political.
Asked how she had both gay and conservative religious fans, she said, It's two different worlds and I live in both and I love them both.
She did, however, encourage Americans to get the COVID jab with a cover of Jolene.
Her death was announced by her nephew, who took over as her head of security from his father.
One of her last albums featured collaborations, thanks to some archival recordings, with five generations of her extended family on tracks such as The Orchard.
It was produced by a cousin and closes with Miss Parton's spoken word outro.
Until we meet again, keep the music in your heart and the mountains in your soul.
