Dolly Rebecca Partonthat is to say Dolly Partonhas left us at the age of eighty years. One of the great legends of American music in general and country music in particular is leaving.

When talking about Dolly Parton, who was born in January 1946, many things can be said. She was a singer, songwriter and actress, but we must also add that her philanthropic work must go down in history. In any case, his musical work spans no less than six decades with a long list of hits and a surprising number of albums that reaches almost fifty studio albums, a dozen live shows and various soundtracks.

Barely a year after the death of her husband Carl Thomas Dean, Dolly Parton has died after her health deteriorated dangerously a few months ago. In fact, he had to cancel the concerts he was supposed to offer in Las Vegas because of it.

Of humble origins, Dolly Parton was one of the voices that did the most to bring country to different areas of culture, becoming not only a star of the genre, but also a true pop icon and a successful actress.

To announce his death, the family posted an emotional video on the Internet in which Bryan Seaver, representing the family, informed the world of the sad news. You can see the video below these lines.

On the other hand, the family has urged their fans to leave messages in their memory on the web www.dollyparton.com and that, instead of sending flowers, make donations to that great project that is the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (www.imaginationlibrary.com). project with which more than two hundred million books have been donated throughout its career for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Parton was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame in 2022, and her performance was truly historic, sharing the microphone in a performance of her classic “Jolene” with artists of the caliber of Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Pink, Annie Lennox (Eurythmics), Simon LeBon (Duran Duran),
