When Dolly Parton made her long-awaited ACL debut in 2000 for a Season 26 taping that aired January 18, 2001, ACL Executive Producer Terry Lickona called the occasion “a dream come true.” More than 25 years later, that dream remains one of the most treasured performances in the series’ history.

We are grieving the loss of legend Dolly Parton, one of music’s timeless icons, born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee on Jan. 19, 1946. Even at a young age she impressed many in the music business with her incredible singing and songwriting talents. After conquering the country music world Dolly crossed over onto the pop charts with the hit “Here You Come Again.” She also wrote songs for movies like “Nine to Five,” in which she also acted. Her song “I Will Always Love You” became a global hit for Whitney Houston. Collaborating with talents like Porter Wagoner, Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, Dolly carved a lasting spot for herself in music history. It was a dream to finally have Dolly Parton perform for Austin City Limits in 2001. She was as perfect as you can imagine. We’ll always love you, Dolly. 🤍

All of us at ACL are heartbroken to hear of Dolly Parton’s passing. The singer and songwriter was a friend to Austin City Limits and PBS, appearing on the show in 2000. Her extraordinary musical gifts were only overshadowed by her generosity and kindness. 💔
