Eighth Dolly Parton solo album; 1971 classic
Dolly Parton has died at age 80 in Nashville, her publicity team has said. Her nephew Bryan Seaver announced the news on Instagram. Parton has written thousands of songs, sold more than 100 million records, won multiple Grammys and founded the Imagination Library, which has distributed hundreds of millions of free books.
Dolly Parton’s longtime manager has dropped a complaint accusing the late singer’s nephew of threatening the estate. A temporary restraining order had been in place, but a Tennessee court filing shows the case is being dismissed without prejudice, following an agreement between the parties.
