Dolly Parton wrote Jolene AND I Will Always love you on the same day, AND founded the Imagination Library, giving away over 300 million free books to kids. We've lost a legend with a heart of gold.

@kbeninato@mstdn.party Radio Lab did a 3 part series around 2019/2020 called "Dolly Parton's America" that was quite good if you want to get a Dolly fix. The series is narrated by Jad Abumrad, son of Dolly's longtime cardiologist. Really a good show. Just a long form interview about her life.
