There are people who should never die, and life is an absolute pigsty when it deserts them, as it is the case for Dolly Parton, a complete artist and a whole human being, whose integrity, talent, humour and strong personality represent the very best part of America, i. e., the United States.

I wish the POTUS (I hate to even mention his name), who was born in the same year than Dolly Parton, did more than paying a tribute to her and followed her example: she was much more than the Queen of Country and a larger-than-life-blonde: Dolly Parton made America a better place.

Here is a YouTube playlist I have found yesterday. I know her films and a small part of her huge repertoire; to be honest, I have never been keen on sentimental songs, like I will always love you, which I heard for the first time via the cover version by Withney Houston (RIP) from the well-known film I have never watched (romance books and films repel me) and, now that she has gone, I feel sorry and ashamed about it, so I want to explore her music.
