00:00Dolly Parton has been remembered as a true country music icon after her death at the age of 80.
00:07Her family says the announcement brought pride and great sadness,
00:10while Sir Paul McCartney described her as a magnificent star and wonderful woman.
00:15Her music, songwriting and philanthropy reached audiences around the world.
00:20I thought it was definitely really sad because I was definitely brought up with a lot of her music and
00:25stuff from my parents.
00:27And I always remember as well when I used to watch Hannah Montana when I was a child and obviously
00:31she was on that and stuff.
00:32So, yeah, it's really upsetting news, yeah.
00:35Dolly Parton is basically one of the most inspiring ladies that I think that the world has actually come across.
00:46I've got so much love for Dolly Parton.
00:48One of my favourites from her is my coat of many colours.
00:51My coat of many colours that my mama made for me.
00:55She will be me.
00:57Oh, I'm an American icon.
00:58Oh, I'm a karaoke queen.
01:00An absolute American icon.
01:03We saw it on Facebook.
01:06I'm sure it was the karaoke queen.
01:08Her philanthropic endeavours were amazing.
01:11Yes, she was...
01:13She gave back to everyone.
01:14She was happy that she should.
01:15I know, she was just such a lovely person.
01:16She was a bubbly person.
01:17We spread, like, positivity and stuff, so...
01:20I didn't realise what a good songwriter she was.
01:24So many people have sung her songs and it's... they'll carry on.
01:30I've always been a fan of hers, long ago, yeah. Always.
01:35Apart from her music and everything that she was, you know, her granddaughter is Marley Cyrus, so she's a great
01:44inspiration as well.
01:45No, she was amazing.
01:47She was one of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and she was in her seventies then.
01:54Yep.
01:54Wow.
01:55Unbelievable.
01:56Yeah, she was very generous talking about that, like...
01:59Done a lot for charities and all that.
02:02Maybe some of our British millionaires should do the same.
02:06It's very sad.
02:07It was a very sad day to hear about it.
02:10We knew she wasn't... she wasn't doing too well, but she was... she always had a brave face on all
02:15the time.
02:15I've seen Dolly myself.
02:17I've seen quite a few tribute acts as well from her as well.
02:21There was one recently that I have seen, which was in Wrexham.
02:25That was a tribute act there for her, but yeah.
02:27Rest in peace, Dolly Parton.
02:29Yeah, she was...
02:30I went to Dollywood once.
02:33Yeah, I forgot about that.
02:35Oh, is that right?
02:35In the Smoky Mountains.
02:36It was like an amusement park.
02:39Oh, right.
02:39And then there was the theatre and all of these country and Western singers would sing there.
02:46Would you say that you have a favourite Dolly Parton song?
02:51Hmm.
02:53Probably 9 till 5, because I always wished I could work 9 till 5.
02:57And not longer hours.
