Dolly Parton has left us, but what a legacy she leaves behind. 

From country classics and unforgettable duets to movie moments, huge hair and even bigger personality, Dolly gave us more iconic moments than we could possibly count.


So, picking just 10 is almost impossible, but here goes.


1. “Jolene” 

The song. The voice. The plea. “Jolene” is simply one of those songs you know from the very first note.
 


2. “I Will Always Love You” 

Dolly wrote it. Whitney Houston made it a global phenomenon. Two legendary voices, one unforgettable song.
 


3. “9 to 5” 

An absolute workplace anthem. Catchy, timeless and still painfully relatable.
 


4. Dolly & Kenny Rogers 

“Islands in the Stream” gave us one of music's most iconic duos. And yes, we're still singing along.
 


5. “Coat of Many Colors” 

One of Dolly's most personal songs - turning a childhood story into a country classic.
 


6. Dolly, Linda & Emmylou 

Three legendary voices. One incredible album. Trio remains a masterclass in musical chemistry.
 


7. Dolly the movie star 

9 to 5. Steel Magnolias. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Dolly didn't just make hits - she stole scenes too.
 


8. The Dolly look 

Big hair. Rhinestones. Glitter. Confidence.

Nobody did Dolly quite like Dolly.

9. Hello, Dollywood 

A music icon creating her own theme park? Of course Dolly did.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Dolly being Dolly ❤️

The humour. The kindness. The songwriting. The personality.

There was - and will be - only one Dolly Parton.
 

 

What's the Dolly song or moment you would add to the list?
