Dolly Parton. I am not a Country fan, by any measure, but I feel all heads must bow just for a moment to honor this lady and her music. She was a humanitarian and spread a message of love and togetherness that changed minds. Her work here on Earth is sadly done, but her legacy is just taking its hold. Elvis Presley is the only other musician | entertainer whose legacy exploded after death for all good reasons and I think the same thing will happen here.
But how interesting that 2 of the most famous people on Earth, did not want giant ritzy funerals after their passings. Just like Elvis, Dolly's work is now in the hands of the millenniums.
I keep coming back to this amazing love song, and these are the two performances I remember the most:
Islands In The Stream
CMT Live:
The last performance together:
