"Never ignore your roots " your home or your hair."
Indeed. Voice, style, personality, all put to more than just personal use. Beyond well done. RIP.

She could be really funny:

Dolly Parton proved that you can celebrate southern white culture without being a racist bigot.
She's an American treasure.

Not only did she never forget her roots, she was quite proud of them.
That pride showed in her music.
She was one of the greats.
R.I.P. Dolly Rebecca Parton.

"Parton was 80."
For some reason I thought she was older than that. No idea why.

Probably because she's been an entertainment icon since we were toddlers.... I'm not speaking for Corky.
