[00:00:05] Dolly of parton's death sparked huge outporing of
[00:00:09] love. Now on BBC News we look at why she meant so much
[00:00:12] to so many, why the world loved
[00:00:15] Dolly.
[00:00:30] recognizable entertainers on the planet. I would have cried, but I didn't want to mess up my
[00:00:34] eyelashes. She was a country singer, a
[00:00:37] of songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist.
[00:00:41] I always say, and it's the truth that I a workhorse that
[00:00:45] looks like a show horse. She could act, she could sing, she could write songs, and she was
[00:00:48] the complete package. To millions across the globe, Dolly
[00:00:52] Pardon was a true one off, lady who, I
[00:00:56] truly
[00:00:57] of believe was the most beloved human being. in the
[00:01:00] world, fans from
[00:01:03] of Nashville, Dolly, we love you, to the North of England have been celebrating the
[00:01:07] star's life, professor, it feels a little bit like when the
[00:01:11] queen died, it honestly
[00:01:13] does, this is
[00:01:17] how the world paid its respects
[00:01:19] in to the undisputed queen of country, the idea of a world
[00:01:23] without dolly in it, it just doesn't seem
[00:01:28] in real.
[00:01:34] "the country music superstar Dolly Partton has died in
[00:01:37] Nashville at the age of 80. The 25th of August,
[00:01:41] 2026, the stars and stripes are lured over the
[00:01:45] white house as newsbreaks of Dolly Parton's death at the age
[00:01:49] of 80. In New York, the Empire state building
[00:01:53] glows pink in honor of an American
[00:01:55] icon. And
[00:01:58] in in the time near her birth. place fans gather to
[00:02:02] mourn. Thaly is special, she is
[00:02:05] in just that diamond
[00:02:05] in a rhinestone world. She was very peaceful person. I feel
[00:02:09] like, she just loved
[00:02:11] of everyone, no matter who they were. She was
[00:02:13] of such an example of pure love. Uh, it doesn't
[00:02:16] matter what um political belief you
[00:02:20] have, it doesn't matter where you're from, it doesn't matter
[00:02:24] any of that. The confirmation of Dolly Partton's death was
[00:02:28] made
[00:02:28] in a post on social media. by her family. I'm representing the
[00:02:32] parton and
[00:02:33] of Owen's family today, announcing the
[00:02:35] of passing of my aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, sister, Sis,
[00:02:39] Aunt Granny to one generation and GG to the
[00:02:42] next. Major stars immediately started
[00:02:46] writing about her online. Elton John called her unique and
[00:02:49] irreplaceable. Celene Dion said she had one
[00:02:53] of the most joyful voices the world had ever
[00:02:55] known. And Beatles legend Paul Mccartney
[00:02:59] described. how they first met in Nashville, performing at the Grand Old
[00:03:03] Opre, no matter
[00:03:07] who you were, everyone knew who she was and
[00:03:09] of everyone had a good word to say about her, and you cannot say that about very many
[00:03:13] people. the
[00:03:17] opri, which is known as the home of country music, quickly changed
[00:03:20] its schedule. with heavy
[00:03:24] hearts we learned today
[00:03:26] a of the passing of a true country
[00:03:27] of music icon, op remember Dolly Partton. "No doubt Dolly's
[00:03:31] mark on the world and on us here at the Grand Old Oper will be deeply
[00:03:35] felt for generations to
[00:03:36] come. And on the south coast
[00:03:40] of England in Worthing, there were audible gasps when her death was
[00:03:44] announced ahead of a performance of nine to five, the musical. Before
[00:03:48] we begin tonight's performance of nine to five, we would like to
[00:03:52] of take moment to remember the remarkable Dolly Partton who
[00:03:55] of has sadly passed away today. It was
[00:03:59] absolutely..." extraordinary, i was in fact
[00:04:02] I was sitting in
[00:04:02] in the stalls waiting for the show to go up. It
[00:04:06] was quite something and I think that it was great to kind of be
[00:04:10] together in that moment. There was something about her
[00:04:14] that stood out and people were attracted to her, the way she
[00:04:18] spoke to them, cuz she was so normal and
[00:04:22] nice and kind and generous.
[00:04:25] of Dolly died just year after her husband Carl Dean. They've
[00:04:29] been... married for six decades. On his death, Dolly wrote,
[00:04:33] "He's in God's arms now, and I'm okay with
[00:04:35] that. I a person of
[00:04:39] faith, and I truly believe that I'm going to see him again someday, and I
[00:04:43] see him every day in my memories and in my
[00:04:45] of heart and in all the things that we used to do and all the things that we
[00:04:49] built together.
[00:04:53] Just months after her husband's death, fears for Dolly's own
[00:04:56] health started to appear in the press, prompting. of
[00:05:00] reassurance, the good news
[00:05:04] is i'm responding really well to me and treatments
[00:05:08] and i'm improving every day. early
[00:05:11] august 26 she posted about her upcoming
[00:05:15] projects, including a Dolly Partton musical, which is due to open on
[00:05:19] Broadway in December 2026. I will be there
[00:05:23] as much as I can be, and of course, good lord will and the
[00:05:26] creek don't rise, I will definitely be there on the opening
[00:05:30] night, and she was looking forward to the opening of her hotel in
[00:05:34] Nashville, from Rags to Round Stones,
[00:05:38] I've been blessed with a live full of stories, and now I
[00:05:41] finally get... share them all with you in one
[00:05:44] place. i think the
[00:05:48] first time we realized that it was actually something more serious was when in May when
[00:05:52] her Vegas residency was cancelled because that is very big
[00:05:56] thing at that point we knew she wasn't well enough to perform probably ever
[00:06:00] again and in recent times there've been a few things she's
[00:06:04] missed she missed her 80th anniversary celebration at the granddol oppree
[00:06:08] even i think just over 10 days before she died she was meant to be at
[00:06:12] her. park in Pigeon forge, Dollywood, and opening one
[00:06:15] their new rides and she pulled out the last
[00:06:17] minute.
[00:06:22] Her death, after what was described as a brief battle with cancer, was a
[00:06:26] shock to millions. We texted each other straight away, being like,
[00:06:29] oh my god, immediately
[00:06:31] you start to reminise about all the small and big things that have
[00:06:34] happened throughout her career and throughout our career that she has
[00:06:38] been unknowingly very influencing. She's got such an
[00:06:41] amazing story. of how she started out, how she has like
[00:06:45] impacted the industry as a whole so
[00:06:49] positively,
[00:06:53] so just how could a woman from rural tennessee spark such an
[00:06:56] outporing of grief from around the
[00:06:58] world. Dolly, Rebecca
[00:07:02] Pardon, was born in Tennessee into a large family, she described
[00:07:06] in her own words, as dirt poor. I grew up in the great smoky
[00:07:10] mountains of East Tennessee a family of 12. children, we had six
[00:07:14] girls and six boys and of course we were just farm folks and we
[00:07:17] didn't uh have things that money could buy and of course we didn't make
[00:07:21] money,
[00:07:21] we grew our own food and we just made our living from the
[00:07:24] land. she said she was inspired to sing by
[00:07:27] one of her uncles who suggested she did one day and then obviously she had
[00:07:31] a real talent. in this footage shot by
[00:07:35] an amateur filmmaker in 1961 Dolly plays for local radio
[00:07:39] station in Knoxville Tennessee. world famous
[00:07:43] grand - america's oldest and most famous country
[00:07:47] music
[00:07:47] show,
[00:07:51] at the age of 13 she made her first appearance at the home of country
[00:07:55] music, the grand old operat, so I just walked up to Jimmy C Newman
[00:07:59] and I said Jimmy, I want to sing, so he told Johnny Cash that I was going to
[00:08:03] sing, and Johnny introduced me and I sang my little heart out and I just tore the
[00:08:07] house down, I know now it was because I was little, but I just sung it over and over and
[00:08:11] over, boy I thought then I was going. be a big star. the
[00:08:14] grand all up pr was was very much about family and things and if an uncle
[00:08:18] knew someone then they would have said this is going to be worth doing. you when you
[00:08:22] go to the up pry it's quite often there'll be somebody there who's a relative of
[00:08:26] someone famous. it was the start of a long
[00:08:30] association with the opry and nashville was where she met her husband
[00:08:34] carl. she wanted to be a star and she found someone
[00:08:38] who was something of recluse and was quite happy if she wasn't
[00:08:41] taking. him to
[00:08:43] things. Dolly is not only
[00:08:47] a great singer, but she's a fine songwriter too, and this is
[00:08:51] number you wrote. Nashville is a hard town to break into in the
[00:08:55] music industry, it takes a lot, so she had that talent, she put
[00:08:59] the hard work in, and she was successful and kind of took
[00:09:03] those opportunities. I would be doing my music, right my songs, if I had to
[00:09:07] sell them out the trunk of my car, and I've done that in the early days
[00:09:11] when I was young and... trying to get things going, so I
[00:09:15] would do it no matter what, even if I had to take
[00:09:17] another
[00:09:19] job,
[00:09:23] her music was rooted in personal experiences of love and
[00:09:27] loss, like Jolen, for example,
[00:09:31] there was a lot of songs at that time about like being sassy to the woman
[00:09:35] or you ain't woman enough to take my man and she brought a song out
[00:09:38] that was empathetic to the woman, she was like understanding. why the
[00:09:42] woman would take her man, but she was pleading from a
[00:09:46] vulnerable perspective rather rather than from an angry perspective, or like
[00:09:50] woman hating spec, yeah, so she was still a woman's
[00:09:53] woman,
[00:09:59] dolly was storyteller who had turned to her own family for
[00:10:03] material, her up bringing
[00:10:07] in the smoky mountains, lots of siblings, growing up very, very poor, she
[00:10:10] wrote songs like the coat of... colors, which is about her mama who made her
[00:10:14] this coat. she writes about being poor, about not knowing how to read.
[00:10:18] it was very much rooted in family values and she
[00:10:22] continued that in all of her writing throughout her.
[00:10:25] career, the most important thing in her life from
[00:10:29] the beginning to the end was her family, she didn't go off and find
[00:10:33] a diff different husband, she she
[00:10:35] didn't change the way she was, i think she wanted to be
[00:10:39] dolly parton professionally, but privately she was dolly dean,
[00:10:43] which was the name on all the paperwork we had, because again
[00:10:47] if she went through passport control, looking as she
[00:10:51] normally did, not as dolly partton, no one would have realized who she was,
[00:10:55] In her lifetime, Dolly Pardon wrote more than 3,000 songs and
[00:10:59] sold over 100 million records, becoming one the most
[00:11:02] successful country artists of all time. I'm proud to be woman in this
[00:11:06] business. Dolly started out and continued, no matter how big she
[00:11:10] got, writing her own material and being
[00:11:14] the voice of her own songs, and obviously we've heard some massive
[00:11:18] covers like, I will all always love you, um, and people will
[00:11:21] cover Dolly forever, we've covered Jolen and 95. and
[00:11:25] hopefully many
[00:11:26] more,
[00:11:33] dolly wrote songs that other artists were desperate to get their hands
[00:11:36] on, including stars like the king, elvis
[00:11:39] Presley.
[00:11:43] Elvis heard the song and wanted to record it and he was very keen,
[00:11:47] but the manager rang up and said, if Elvis records a song, we have half the
[00:11:51] publishing, and Dolly said no.
[00:11:58] we always
[00:12:01] love you, so this is the business side of her
[00:12:05] coming through
[00:12:06] for for sure, and then several years after that
[00:12:10] um, witten houston sang it in the
[00:12:13] bodyguard, and it was itself like 20 million copies that
[00:12:16] single, when she brought country to
[00:12:20] Glastonbury, her popularity pulled in an enormous crowd,
[00:12:24] among them were the... country act Ward
[00:12:26] Thomas. In
[00:12:29] 2014 was the year that we first released our first ever
[00:12:33] album, and it was the same year that she played
[00:12:36] Gustenbury and pulled the biggest audience the weekend. And I
[00:12:40] think with two young British girls saying, "We want to do country
[00:12:43] music," and going out into the world and saying, "Hey, will you take us
[00:12:47] seriously?" I think if if it wasn't for people like Dolly or specifically
[00:12:51] Dolly and what she had done before, people probably wouldn't have.
[00:13:03] We have different views regarding a third world war. I believe
[00:13:07] that Putin has already started it. Being able to inspire someone is
[00:13:11] always the greatest joy. I... I saw Sisa one time at the Grammies
[00:13:15] and she said that she studied some of my songs for their songwriting and I thought that that was
[00:13:19] the biggest compliment ever. My support for Ukraine is
[00:13:23] unwavering.
[00:13:24] It is. is 100%. When the big names
[00:13:28] talk, they talk to us. We're here in Washington to find
[00:13:32] out what comes next. This is the sharp end the fight against these
[00:13:36] forest fires. This is the moment that the proud here at the watch
[00:13:40] party have been waiting for, not only at home but around the
[00:13:43] world. The destruction along Venezuela's northern coastline has
[00:13:47] been so severe. Our correspondents give you the full story. It's the straight
[00:13:51] of hormos that's at the center the renewed conflict between the US and...
[00:13:55] For a global perspective, join us on BBC World News
[00:13:58] America.
[00:14:10] In a world away from music, Dolly fought to be taken
[00:14:14] seriously. It is kind of work without fear, because it's
[00:14:18] fun for me, it's like, if I fail, it's no big deal, if something don't work out, I'm not
[00:14:22] afraid of of failure, because to me, I never feel like
[00:14:24] a los. but Dolly was not a loser, addition to
[00:14:28] her musical success, she became an acclaimed actress, and she
[00:14:32] was also behind many business ventures. Her last public
[00:14:36] appearance was at the opening of Dolly's tennessian travel stop. We're
[00:14:40] not trying to compete with anybody, we don't think we'll have to, we think we're going
[00:14:44] to have everything that you want or
[00:14:46] need. But her most famous
[00:14:50] business venture is Dollywood, a theme park near where she was raised in the
[00:14:54] Smokey. of tennessee, come on down to
[00:14:58] Dollywood, come on down to Dollywood, you'll have fun and we'll
[00:15:02] treat you good, so come on down to Dollywood, it's better on fast songs,
[00:15:06] paradise road's not that fast, my as well play the bongos while I'm
[00:15:09] here, I took the family to dollywood
[00:15:12] in 2003 and I did ask how many of Dolly's relatives
[00:15:16] work here and it was over 40 people, she was employing, she
[00:15:20] had this enormous number of relatives and people that she knew and she was very
[00:15:24] concerned. to help them, not doing things for them, but
[00:15:27] giving them jobs and things like that. Dolly's appeal reached far
[00:15:31] beyond music, her support for minority groups, particularly in the
[00:15:35] LGBTQ community,
[00:15:37] Legendary
[00:15:45] her 9 to5 co-star Jane Fonda's tribute included a poignant
[00:15:49] reminder of Dolly's solidarity with her
[00:15:52] fans. She wrote to her gay and trans
[00:15:55] fans, I want you to know that she loved you, adding that she loved all her
[00:15:59] fans and they are legion. I think the
[00:16:03] world we live in at the moment that it's it's tough, it's difficult for lot of people and actually.
[00:16:07] "you want to have someone or something that you can kind of
[00:16:11] look to to make you feel good about yourself, and Dolly, she made people feel
[00:16:15] good about herself, whether it was her performances, whether it was her mantras,
[00:16:19] I mean she's got so many quotes that I live by every single day. It takes a lot of
[00:16:23] money to look this cheap. Did you say that? Well, that yeah, I said that, and
[00:16:27] I meant that, lot of people think that's a joke, that's the biggest truth I ever
[00:16:30] told. You have no idea how much it cost to make a person
[00:16:34] look this cheap." She was often
[00:16:38] pressed by journalists to comment on political issues, but used her
[00:16:42] trademark warmth and humor to deflect difficult
[00:16:45] questions. It was very significant that
[00:16:49] President Trump put up a positive
[00:16:52] tribute to her, and she was someone who clearly didn't
[00:16:56] believe a lot of things that he did, but she managed to
[00:17:00] always not get political, never to cross a
[00:17:03] line, and that was something a way that was
[00:17:06] legacy. that she's passed on, because if
[00:17:09] you want to be like Dolly Partton, you could be so successful. I don't
[00:17:13] think of myself at all as being political, and that's the
[00:17:16] worst thing that I could think about being, so there will, there will never be a
[00:17:20] time when Dolly Pon says, I'm going to run for office,
[00:17:24] that's that's never going to happen from office,
[00:17:28] actually the back home they have lot of signs everywhere Dory
[00:17:32] for president, and I was, my my joke is,
[00:17:36] no, we've had enough boobs. in the white house, republicans
[00:17:39] love her, democrats love her, she never ever brought politics into her
[00:17:43] music, i think she spoke to people through the work she did and through the song
[00:17:47] lyrics she wrote, dolly's support for what she deemed
[00:17:51] worthwile causes is renowned, you got it, i got it,
[00:17:54] okay, didn't hurt, dolly donated significant amounts of her
[00:17:58] fortune to the causes she believed in, she pledged $1
[00:18:01] million to support vaccine research during the COVID
[00:18:04] pandemic, okay, 'can you do what you got to
[00:18:08] do? even getting behind campaigns to encourage people to get
[00:18:12] vaccinated. she was a force for good in the world and she was someone that we
[00:18:16] could all kind of turn to whenever things got tough, so
[00:18:19] and the idea of a world without dolly in it just doesn't
[00:18:22] seem real. vaccine, vaccine,
[00:18:26] vaccine, vaccine, i'm begging of you please don't
[00:18:30] hesitate. hello, i'm dolly. do you love
[00:18:34] books? me too, dolly new'. to connect with
[00:18:38] people, in 2015 she adopted a well-known east midlands phrase
[00:18:42] to promote the expansion of her imagination library
[00:18:45] project, a global scheme that sends free books to
[00:18:48] children. hey everybody, this is Dolly, or should
[00:18:52] I say, I up me duck. I hope I said that
[00:18:55] right, because if I didn't everybody in Nottingham is going to be
[00:18:59] offended. There's so many children that may have grown up illiterate if it
[00:19:03] hadn't been for her imagination library, and that's her money going
[00:19:07] into... completely non-profit, but to help young
[00:19:10] children learn to read, which is obviously something that was very important to her,
[00:19:14] especially as someone that such a way of words, thank you for
[00:19:18] my books dally, you are
[00:19:20] welcome, you're the one to make it worth
[00:19:24] while in Dundee, this dolly super fan and local counselor
[00:19:28] helped set up the city's branch the imagination library, he says
[00:19:32] she'll be remembered forever, so we had launch event and I
[00:19:36] do remember the door. had opened and this we taught she was only about two or
[00:19:39] three as soon as the door opened she saw the dolly stand up and she went dolly and went
[00:19:43] running to dolly so suppose the legacy hope to leave for
[00:19:47] children in dundy scotland the world is that every time they open a book the
[00:19:51] legacy of dolly partom will live on forever and even the prime
[00:19:54] minister recognized her philanthropy. was a huge
[00:19:58] fan of what dolly did around literacy around the world. i was
[00:20:02] culture secretary when uh her libraries were first uh coming through
[00:20:06] and the books that went into communities across across
[00:20:09] Britain, what a legacy to
[00:20:11] leave. The royal family said she
[00:20:15] brought joy, comfort and inspiration as the King's guard
[00:20:19] played 9 to5 outside Buckinggham Palace in honor the
[00:20:23] queen of
[00:20:23] country.
[00:20:32] And the band will play on for Dolly, even after her
[00:20:35] death.
[00:20:39] "I think the plans she's had are going to come together, her team are going to put them out, and
[00:20:43] there's still unreleased music as well, apparently that is still to come, so
[00:20:47] I think she still has it all worked out and I'm actually really excited." to see the
[00:20:51] plans, because I know this isn't the end of what we're going to see of Dolly.
[00:20:55] The weekend after her death at festivals in the UK, Dolly
[00:20:58] Parton was honored with renditions of her most famous
[00:21:01] tracks. I've grown up on artists
[00:21:05] like Dolly Paren, of course we lost an icon. We played
[00:21:09] Jolen on the first set as a little tribute to
[00:21:11] dolly. Oh, she's just beautiful. She's
[00:21:15] the heart and soul of country. And how did you feel when you found out the sad
[00:21:18] news? let your girlfriend cried for two
[00:21:22] days, he was upset, she was very upset, just
[00:21:26] been there from day one for all the country fans, so god
[00:21:29] bless her, and in
[00:21:33] Nashville in Tennessee, country's megastars remember Dolly with a
[00:21:37] special show at the upbring, we
[00:21:40] promise to never forget you, and
[00:21:44] we'll think of you each step the
[00:21:48] way.
[00:21:55] Dolly once said never ignore your roots, your home or your
[00:21:59] hair. It's guidance that she stayed true to throughout seven
[00:22:03] decade career that saw kindless acolades for her singing,
[00:22:07] songwriting and
[00:22:08] philanthropy. Everybody
[00:22:12] should be who they are, and I even wrote a song called, whatever you are, be
[00:22:16] that, whatever you do, do that, anything else is just an act, so whoever you
[00:22:20] be that and so that's how i feel about you're the best person in the
[00:22:24] world part
[00:22:28] a courageous and talented trail blazer
[00:22:31] for country music a time when women were not taken seriously in the
[00:22:35] industry especially as solo artists
[00:22:38] i feel i should share this with all the girls that i just sung a song
[00:22:41] with when i have all these women say
[00:22:45] that i've inspired them it makes me feel proud that i've done something.
[00:22:50] 'I think we'll remember Dolly Partin as a one-off, she was
[00:22:54] once a lifetime person, I'm so grateful that we got to be
[00:22:58] on earth at the same time, I know, I i think we always remember
[00:23:01] Dolly as a bright, colorful soul that was on this
[00:23:05] earth, I've had wonderful life, I have so
[00:23:09] many people to thank, but none more than you,
[00:23:12] my fans, I will always love you, so thank
[00:23:16] you, her music has just been there for me through.'
[00:23:20] so as a fan,
[00:23:21] it is really sad that she's not here anymore, but I'm gonna
[00:23:25] continue, I'm gonna continue living like Dollywoods and you
[00:23:29] know use the lessons she taught
[00:23:31] me. Dolly
[00:23:34] pardon, the country singer and songwriter from the Smokey
[00:23:38] Mountains of Tennessee will be remembered for her warmth,
[00:23:42] wit and immense talent, and of course
[00:23:45] her head songs.
