“It’s nearly impossible to fully capture the depth of what Dolly Parton means to the world” - Harvey Mason jr. Beloved far beyond the borders of country music, Dolly Parton embodied the rare mix of tenacity, wit, and warmth that defines a true American icon. Born in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Parton rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most prolific songwriters and beloved entertainers of her time. Penning over 3,000 songs over seven decades she earned 11 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement honor), and secured her place in both the Country Music and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. From "Jolene" to "I Will Always Love You", (yes, Whitney Houston’s iconic version was a cover), her music transcended genre and generation. An actress, philanthropist, and even an honorary Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, Parton’s legacy was as towering as her teased blonde hair. “Through her unwavering dedication to philanthropy, she gave back to her community and to the world with the same heart that defined her music. On behalf of the Recording Academy, our thoughts are with Dolly’s family, friends and the countless fans whose lives she touched. Her legacy – one of talent, kindness and resilience – will endure for generations to come.” - Harvey Mason jr.
