Dolly Parton

An internationally renowned superstar, the iconic and irrepressible Parton has contributed countless treasures to the world of music entertainment, penning classic songs such as Jolene, Coat of Many Colors, and her mega-hit I Will Always Love You. With 1977s crossover hit Here You Come Again, she successfully erased the line between country and pop music without noticeably altering either her music or her image. "Im not leaving country," she said at the time, "Im just taking it with me."
