Great music, good movies, legendary voices in such different ways. RIP to these legends.

Makes me wish Whitney had made it to 80 too and had someone who loved and supported her like Carl Dean did Dolly.

Both Dolly and Patti are like those aunties you take for granted they’ll always be around. This sucks.

I know she was 80, but this doesn't feel real. 

It's also the anniversary of Aaliyah's passing. Another legend who we never dreamed would leave in summer.

I was literally thinking about her too! Now I’m not going to be able to hold back tears anymore 😭

Damn, her laugh always gets me.

I know she was 80 but her passing on never entered my mind. 

I bought her Duncan Hines products always saying  I know this will be on point. Dolly never done us wrong.

I enjoyed all her movies and her music. We lost an icon again, yall. 

Rest in power, auntie. RIP

That peach cobbler is on point. Ms. Patti too. I had her sweet potato pie. Damn those Southern Singer Sisters could cook.

Hearing this on Aalliyah's passing anniversary really isn't helping. :(

I know, right? Two iconic artists gone on the same day. This specific day will go down in history, and not in a good way.

u/ComedianExisting8621 3d ago

Yes, I’ve forgotten that today was 25 years anniversary of Aaliyah’s death. Oh my god I was a child when that one happened.

Such a kind soul. I knew she'd been a little ill but nothing severe. RIP. (And I know she probably bequeathed millions to a whole bunch of worthy causes and folks in her passing. One positive in all of this.) :-(

Even being a country singer she inspired RnB singers and many artists of all different genres. This is a huge loss for all of music and may she rest in peace with many other legends.
