RIP Dolly Parton.

"Whatever. I don't listen to country music."

Set aside the fact that "I Will Always Love You", "Jolene", and more became cross-over hits.

There really are too many notable acts of generosity to fit in a single post. The one I'll highlight is that, in 2000, she donated $1 million to coronavirus research at Vanderbilt University, which helped fund Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine.

Truly someone who used her celebrity and wealth to make the world a better place. #music
