I've been worried about her for a while now with the somewhat mysterious messages about her health. Very sad news.

One of a kind and she's singing for Jesus now.
The philanthropy she gave back to her East Tennessee community is unprecedented.

I'm sure she was a nice person and all, but the Facebook eulogies drive me crazy.

I remember seeing this on a playlist. Out of musical curiosity I decided to check it out, and braced myself for the worse.
It was a totally different arrangement to suite her musical style, and surprisingly not only was it not as bad as I had feared, but I actually appreciated the rework of this iconic song. Very brave, but she pulled it off.

Certainly. Dolly's impact on the entire music industry and all genres of music is unprecedented and she will be missed by all she was friends with and the many she came in contact with musically and otherwise.

I really like her singing duet with Ronnie Milsap on his Smokey Mountain Rain song.

Her duet with Cat Stevens on his composition "Where Do the Children Play" is truly exceptional.

Wow Bay and Prestonyte thank you. I finally got to watch the videos of Stairway to Heaven and Southern Accents - awesome but you guys brought me to tears. I love Led Zep, had no idea Dolly did that. Hard to imagine if you know it has banjo, violins, slide/steel(guitar) but it works! Then watched the TP that was too much seeing him and her and the beautiful version of it. I didn`t realize she and Tom were friends. I will grab some Kleenex before I watch it again.

.38, .39, whatever it takes.

Heard someone say it on TV: - There will never be another Dolly. Hollywood, Elite in the biz will not allow another Dolly. I never thought about it that way but that's probably correct.
