If you'd like to see what a solemn Dolly Parton looks like (no, this woman should never be sad! or wear black!*), watch the video she just posted remembering Michael Jackson. If there's anyone who could honestly say that they always thought he had "the heart of angel," it's Dolly Parton, who sees the good in everyone. In it, she also encourages us to live every day as though it's our last and make sure the people in our lives know how special they are to us. She starts by thanking her fans.**
* I find the splash of color and those earrings hopeful.
** I will be in the fetal position under my desk if anything ever happens to this woman.

I *heart* Dolly Parton.
Dolly Parton is a great human being!
Dolly Parton is a truly gracious, classy lady.
What a wonderful remembrance coming from an equally wonderful performer!! Thank you Dolly!!
That was great, but not trying to be snarky (although it’ll probably come across that way) perhaps she shouldn’t have ended with the photo of the 2 of them together. Especially the dissolve from her current face to her original. Just saying. Still, I love me some Dolly, and that was very sweet.
Dolly is awesome! Everyone on this planet has to like her, or your crazy!
For a girl who admits she modeled her look after the town tramp, Dolly is a total class act with a heart of gold. Love her!
Didn’t they look different when the picture shown at the very end was taken? And, yeah, can’t help it, I love Dolly, too.
Dolly is amazing!!! What a sweet woman!
Dolly is nothing short of Awesome. The Howard Stern gang once cornered her and asked her if she “shaved” (down there)and she replied, “Well, it depends on where I’m going and who I’m with!” Priceless. Funny, sweet and talented lady.
Donna is just a good person, a very good person.
Actually ‘Islands in the Streams’ was a rare and huge hit in the same year of 1983 with ‘Beat It’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘P.Y.T’, ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, and ‘Human Nature’ and shared the same chart life on Billboard.
No wonder Dolly is so gracious?
That’s why Dolly has always been one of my favorites—so classy and thoughtful!
I have met Dolly on a couple of occasions, and she is as real and sincere as she appears here and on television. She also gives one hell of a concert herself. I never embraced MJ’s music, and always thought he was just plain strange, but if Dolly thinks he was wonderful, then I trust her completely. I don’t even want to contemplate what this planet will lose when she leaves us. It’s too horrible to think about.
That was very nice, very sincere. Love Dolly. Here’s a woman with no ego and very giving. That she took time to post a message tells you a lot about her character.
