Country music writer, singer and actress "Dolly Parton" has died. She was 80-years-old and was a "light" that shined bright. It is a shock to everyone because Dolly did so much outside of her music career. She gave back to her community including the "Literacy" program "Imagination Library" which helped children to read.
Dolly had so many Country hit songs in her long career. My favorite is, "Single Women" (1983). It hit number #8 on the country chart. The song spawned an ABC TV-Movie called, "Single Bars, Single Women." She even returned to the original lyrics as a promo for the movie. It explores the life of single women who frequent a local bar. It aired on ABC in 1984 to solid TV-ratings.
Below is my favorite picture of Dolly Parton. It was at her peak of popularity in 1977.
Below is the Country Music Awards (CMA) 1989. Dolly sung the gospel song "He's Alive" at the end of the show. It was my mom's favorite performance of Dolly. Mine too. RIP.
