The world lost a legend.

My favorite Dolly song is Islands in the Stream.

I always liked her but never was a superfan. 

And of course she has a Hazzard connection with her sister Stella appearing on the show.

When there were fires in the Smokies, she paid for people's houses and stuff.......I always said, if a cop ever pulled her over for speeding, in Gatlinburg ( Where the Smokies are), he wouldn't have the guts to give her a ticket! Everybody in that area owes her a lot....a WHOLE lot! She could've probably commited crimes in that area, ( if Dolly would ever do that...and she wouldn't!) and they'd never find a jury in that area to convict her! They would never be able to seat an impartial jury anywhere near that area!

It turns out that there's a place called Parton in the north of England. After Dolly's death, someone added stickers to one of the signs to read "Dolly PARTON R.I.P." - see the story here.
