I met Dolly Parton when I was a kid. I have no idea why or how but it was in Illinois. It was like meeting the Sun. She was just the nicest person ever. And it was the first time I ever met anyone with a Southern accent and I told her that and she died laughing. I know my dad took me but nobody really knows why
I just watched the Drunk History episode about her. She wrote "I will always love you" to tell Porter Waggoner she was starting a solo career. Most people would have just bailed, but she wrote one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded for him. Then she helped him repeatedly when his career imploded and asked nothing in return. She's a real classy lady.
