Thank you for reuploading this. Forever Dolly, forever a daughter of East Tennessee. Rest easy, angel.
Dolly you will be missed.
I wonder if she will be laid to rest at the old Parton cemetery there in East Tennessee.
She was a truly good human being. May she rest in peace now, alongside her loved ones. Amen.
SuperStar she will be Missed
Cute dimples!!!!
The interviewer passed 10 years ago. Now he can interview Dolly about her life in review from beyond. 😞
Should’ve avoided the jab.
wasn't a big fan of parton. her over sexualization helped cause a significant moral deterioration in female country music artists. she was more or less the madonna of country & western
Awww – that bit with her mama and daddy had me in tears. God bless them – I’m glad that they got to see her succeed. Now they are together again. RIP
This was wonderful thank you 🦋
Dolly…thank you for making us smile. May you rest in eternal peace❤🕊
