Dolly Parton R.I.P.

One of my favourite quotes was this one

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb—and I'm not blonde either.

I’ve just heard in the news that flags across the USA are going to be at half mast for a a week. This seems rather excessive to me. Have we in Britain ever done that for an entertainer?

So sad to hear the passing of Dolly. Such a great woman with an enormous artistic talent. R.I.P.

Great woman. RIP Dolly

Dolly will be sorely missed. Great singer and a lovely generous person.
RIP Dolly.

RIP Dolly, we loved you so much xx

She was still working recently. A young country singer called Belles wrote a new song - "Son of Jolene", and Dolly agreed to record it as a duet. Belles was almost overcome, imagine singing with your idol! Have a listen , it's great, and Dolly loved it. She was so generous with her time and talent, a true legend.

A lovely lady. RIP Dolly xxx

Nooooo! RIP

Amazing lady

I didn’t realise she was 80

A great loss. The world needs more people like Dolly Parton.
A life well lived. Rest in peace.

A legend with a wonderful legacy.
A life well lived

I saw herat Glastonbury...think it was2014? ....she was such a raconteur ...told so many stories between her songs ..... grateful I got yo see her live

I watched Steel Magnolias recently and loved Dolly's humour and delivery.
RIP Dolly .
💐

Such sad news. She was such a talented and kind soul. RIP beautiful Dolly, you will be greatly missed. 😪🌹

So sad. I loved her music.

Oh no! What a loss to so many aspects of her world. RIP

I have just seen this breaking news. So incredibly sad. She always came across as a truly lovely lady with a fantastic sense of humour.

Sad news.
Dolly came across as a fun, kind and generous woman. In a showbiz world she was a genuine, honest and talented, hard-working entertainer.
Dolly was a philanthropist too and I find myself genuinely saddened by this news.
Rest in peace Dolly.

What a singer ! Loved her self deprecating sense of humour. R.I.P. Dolly x

Dolly was a queen. It's a very sad day

Dolly was an inspirational woman, what a voice, what a positive personality.
One of my favourites was ‘it costs a lot to look this cheap “

She was very competent at avoiding being pulled into politics - presumably understanding many of her fans would be anti lift and her left leaning fans loved her

I loved ‘Jolene’, such a haunting song, meant to be about a woman who fancied Dolly’s DH.

Oh no😢
We all loved Dolly🥀

So sorry to hear this news tonight. What a woman. A true legend.

RIP Dolly🌹

I posted on the other thread, which has been deleted due to it's duplication. So just to reiterate, so sorry to read she's died. An amazing presence not only for her contribution to the music world but also her philanthropy. She's going to be missed a true legend.

RIP Dolly
