On Feb. 1, 1978, Parton earned her first-ever gold single.

Happy birthday, Dolly!

It doesn't have to be country to be country!

Dolly, Willie and more had found their voice, while other icons were stuck in transition. 1974 was a very important year in country music.

On Jan. 4, 1969, Parton was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

Parton had already been a country star for a number of years by the time she released her 16th studio album, but the crossover success of the album launched the second phase of her career, in pop music, and earned the superstar her first gold album.

She took a different approach with "Keep on Loving You," REO Speedwagon frontman tells UCR. "I love it when real singers sing my songs."

On Dec. 19, 1980, Parton made her big-screen debut, appearing in the movie '9 to 5'.

Sales of her 'Rockstar' album were No. 1 all-genre and among the best in country music in 2023.

Nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards are in, and country music's brightest new stars join several legends.

She was stunned, to say the least.

Dolly has turned down the chance to play the Super Bowl on multiple occasions.
