Dolly Parton has passed away at aged 80. She was a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, publisher, actress and philanthropist.
Her unmatched musical legacy is defined by more than 3000 written songs, 25 Billboard number one Country hits and a shrewd business ownership of her own music catalogue.
Dolly earned countless accolades over her 67-year career including 10 Grammy Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
She leaves a legacy extending way beyond her music through her Dolly Parton Foundation spanning support for disaster relief, education and medical research.
Her Imagination Library has provided over 38 million free books to children.
RIP Dolly Parton - One of kind.
