We’re saddened by the news of Dolly Parton’s passing today.

A music icon whose unforgettable voice, songwriting, and storytelling touched generations and inspired countless artists around the world. Just as remarkable was Dolly's commitment to helping others. From children’s literacy through her Imagination Library to supporting education, medical research, and communities in need.

Thank you, Dolly, for a lifetime of music, joy, generosity, and goodwill. Your extraordinary legacy will live on.

Take a moment today to listen to Dolly’s music, watch one of her performances, or simply share a favorite memory. Help keep her unforgettable voice, songs, and spirit alive for generations to come.
