From "Dumb Blonde" - the first track on her first solo album - through "I Will Always Love You" to "Jolene", or wherever she took you with her Appalachian trills.

A remarkable, generous, talented lady who managed to be loud and brash and modest and self-effacing all at once.

Leaves a genuinely positive legacy of charity and music

Will be sadly missed.

RIP Dolly.

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
