Goodbye Dolly

Dolly Parton Belongs to the Ages

1946-2026

It rarely happens that I publish a story about a person who I am not aware of having worn a Rolex, but today's story is an exception to that rule. When I woke up today, I saw in the news that Dolly Parton had passed away, which made me really sad, as she was one of the most beautiful souls that has ever lived. Thus I decided to put together this tribute as a way to day Goodbye Dolly.

If you grew up on America, you are probably aware of Dolly Parton, and her amazing career as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, actress, and entrepreneur. Dolly Parton was the most successful country recording star of all time, as she has sold more than 160 Million records, which helped her build her entrepreneurial "Dolly Incorporated" empire, which among other things included her famous them park, Dollywood.

If you are not familiar with Dolly Parton, I high recommend learning more about her amazing career achievements. Dolly was one of the most positive human beings I have ever encountered, and always such a great source of inspiration.

Despite the fact that I never found a photo of Dolly rocking a Rolex, not that I have given up on doing so, but she co-starred around some pretty famous men who did, and as the Rolex slogan goes, "A Rolex doesn't just tell time, it tells history." 

Let's start with her relationship with fellow recording superstar, Kenny Rogers, who she famously sang, "We Got Tonight" with. We Got Tonight was originally record by Bob Seger on his 1978 album, Stranger in Town, but Kenny Rogers liked it so much, he also sang it as a duet with both Sheen Easton, and Dolly Parton.

In 1983, Dolly and Kenny Rogers recorded the mega hit duet "Islands in the Steam", which was a platinum-selling #1 hit written by The Bee Gees.
