Dolly Parton; We Lost a Legend

 

Hour 4 (8.25) She wrote it in a little girl's voice. Sandy knocks on a stranger's door in a storm holding her puppy, asking for a bed. Dolly Parton died Tuesday at 80, and this is the song people are playing. 

9:05 — "Me and Little Andy," 1977. Dolly wrote it and sang Sandy's lines in a child's voice — a girl "not more than six or seven," out in the cold with a dog named Little Andy, asking if there's an extra bed. It was the B-side of "Here You Come Again" and it still wrecks a room. The childhood behind it, and why she never once complained about it. 

9:20 — What she built out of that: 25 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, the most ever by a woman, plus 55 top 10s and 113 charted songs — the last one a duet with Sabrina Carpenter at 79. 

9:35 — Reps confirmed to PEOPLE she died Tuesday in Nashville at 80 after a brief battle with cancer. President Trump ordered the flag lowered nationwide for a week. 

9:50 — The more you give, the more blessings come back. She meant it, and the reaction is proving it.
