To The Late Great Dolly Parton

This is a dedicated to the late and great Dolly Parton, (Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean) who has been called ‘The Queen of Country Music’ for her voice, she was also an accomplished actor and dabbled in comedy for at least a few skits. Her career spanned many decades and if you consider that she came from very humble origins in rural Tennessee and achieved the heights she did it’s nothing less than amazing. She is a singer songwriter, actor, business woman among other things and was able to cross barriers and reach wider audiences. I love hearing stories of people who were able to achieve that kind of success and Dolly Parton is one of those people.
Now, I don’t know her career all to well but I’m impressed how well liked and applauded she is by older generations. I’ve talked to people who travelled to other countries from Europe to the US to see her perform. I’ve listened to stories of the hardships she overcame by fans and I have to say that I was moved. Years ago, one of my coworkers was talking about her with someone and when I asked what their conversation pertained to they answered “You probably don’t know who she is.”.
“Excuse you? I loved her movie “9 to 5”. I know who she is.” I wanted to answer. Suffice it to say that when a performer/ artist moves people the way she does it’s impressive.
