Dolly Parton, born in the Tennessee hills and shaped by poverty, faith, and song, died at eighty after more than six decades of redefining what country music could mean to the world. She was not merely a performer but a bridge — between rural and urban America, between genre and mainstream, between a particular place and a universal human story. Her passing closes a chapter in American cultural life that may never find its like again.
