Dolly Parton has died at eighty, after a career that produced more than fifty records. This hour plays a set of interview clips spanning decades, starting with an exchange where an audience member asks her advice about going bald.

A separate clip, recorded only months ago at her own theme park, catches a young boy's reaction after Dolly points him out from a passing carriage. It runs only seconds, and it says more than a longer tribute could.

A family member Dolly had asked, years in advance, to speak on her behalf also shares a statement. Listener texts and memories fill the space around it.
