THE NASHVILLE SONGWRITERS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL ISSUES STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF DOLLY PARTON

“The Nashville songwriting family joins the world today in mourning the loss of our precious Dolly Parton. There is no greater ambassador for the art of songwriting, Music Row and the state of Tennessee than Dolly. No one is more admired, revered and respected.

It cannot be overstated how difficult the obstacles were for a young woman in the 1950s and '60s to carve a path in the music business, much less become a 'one-word' household name. She will forever be spoken of as a Mount Rushmore-level icon in our industry.

On behalf of the Nashville Songwriters Association International, thank you, Dolly, for the songs, the class, the heart and the eternal impression you have left on country music. We miss you already.”

Lee Thomas Miller
NSAI President

There are stars, and then there is Dolly Parton. ✨

The world is mourning the loss of a true American treasure—a woman whose music, faith, humor and generosity made millions of people feel as though they knew her personally💕.

Mississippi was fortunate to share a special chapter in Dolly’s remarkable story. In 2023, she came to Philadelphia for two intimate performances at the historic Ellis Theater, donating her time to help raise money for Mississippi native Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music. That day, Dolly and Marty also unveiled a downtown mural inspired by her song “Wildflowers”—a colorful reminder of the joy she brought wherever she went. 🦋

Her Mississippi legacy also lives in the children who received books through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and in artists like Mississippi’s own Chapel Hart, whose “You Can Have Him Jolene” earned Dolly’s enthusiastic approval. 🎵

She taught us to dream bigger, laugh at ourselves, hold tight to our roots and never mistake kindness for weakness.

Rest well, Dolly. We will always love you. 🦋💛
