There are few faces, and voices, in music that are as instantly recognisable around the world as that of Dolly Parton. Dolly, as she is universally known, is revered not just for the longevity of her career, but also for writing songs of life, love, heartbreak and tragedy, that have transcended generations.
Think of the classics that have been the soundtrack to our lives: Addy Was an Old Time Preacher Man, Coat of Many Colours, I Will Always Love You, Jolene, 9 to 5, Just Because I am a Woman, Eagle When She Flies and her duets with Kenny Rogers, notably Islands in The Stream.
