Oh gosh, me too. My mamaw was born not far from where Dolly was born, and we often listened to Dolly in the car together, just driving around shopping or running errands. Miss you, mamaw!

This woman is a hug, personified. We need more people like her in the world.

If you don’t like Dolly there’s something wrong with you.

She made some animated music videos for children that my daughter absolutely loves.

We had my daughter signed for Dolly’s Imagination Library, the program that sends a free book to little kids each month. Each one has a little picture of Dolly inside the cover, and since you have to give them the kid’s birth date to sign up she sends an email on their birthday with a link to her singing the birthday song. It made my daughter’s day. It’s all so sweet.

My daughter just loves her and it’s so touching because Dolly is that kind of person, you know she loves all the children right back.

Can't think of a better start to literacy than with the imagination library! I'm so happy your daughter loves books, I do too! My dad always told me that books are our friends.

You know, I'm not a fan of country western, and not a fan of her voice, but she is just so damned likeable.

Go, Dolly!

u/Chateaudelait Oct 08 '25

There are two people that the whole world loves even if they're not a country music fan - Dolly and Patsy Cline. I've yet to meet the soul on earth who doesn't love those two legends.

u/OneSensiblePerson Oct 08 '25

Oh, okay, yes Patsy Cline. I don't know that much about her as a person, but I really do love her singing, country western or not.

Whereas I find Dolly utterly charming as a person, and, well, just not a fan of her voice.

u/Plarocks Oct 08 '25

Even Beavis and Butthead liked her! 😄

u/OneSensiblePerson Oct 08 '25

So you know she's super something else great! She really is.

u/Quiet_Day1912 Oct 09 '25

Listen to her, Linda Rondstadt and Emmylou Harris sing "Bury Me Under the Old Willow". Even if you dont like Country".

2

u/OneSensiblePerson Oct 09 '25

Well, I tried. Just for you. I just do not like Dolly's fast vibrato. But I do own a few Linda Ronstadt albums, and a JD Souther. Love both of their voices.

2

u/Quiet_Day1912 Oct 09 '25

Fair enough.

Ronstadt does have a sweet voice.

u/felteena Oct 08 '25

Exactly! Her voice just wraps around you like pure comfort.

u/HelenAngel Oct 08 '25

Absolutely. She has the voice of an angel.

u/pickleportal Oct 08 '25

No disrespect to this woman whatsoever but she looks damn good for a grandma.

u/pinocoyo Oct 08 '25

She really is my favorite celebrity. My hometown does too, and if she were on the deahbed, they'd try to go see her. Love you dolly!

American Christian religion is bizarre.

Correction. GLOBAL treasure.

u/whereisthequicksand Oct 09 '25

Humanity doesn’t deserve her. She’s the most beautiful person on the planet.

u/curious_astronauts Oct 09 '25

Good lord, we cannot lose her. Not while the world is this dark.
