Dolly Parton's legacy is being remembered as one that will last lifetimes. 

The beloved country music star has died aged 80.  

She'll be remembered for songs like 'Nine to Five', 'I Will Always Love You', and 'Jolene' – just some of her 25 number one hits. 

Kiwi politician and country singer Suzanne Prentice opened for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers when they visited New Zealand in the late 1980s, and remembers how kind and down to earth Parton was. 

She told Kerre Woodham the star seemed to look after everyone who came into her realm.  

"She was truly a star of our time, so I don't think in our lifetime, we'll ever see anything like Dolly Parton again."
