Dolly Parton

As a singer, songwriter, author, actress, philanthropist, and entrepreneur- Dolly Parton certainly does it all! The country music legend has a career spanning six decades, and her portfolio boasts eleven Grammy Awards, twelve Academy of Country Music Association Awards, and many more. Parton is also a recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Humane and Musical Letters Degree from the University of Tennessee.

Now 74 years old, there’s no stopping the Tennessee native from achieving more. In 2020, she released a brand new song entitled When Life Is Good Again, and its music video premiered on TIME 100 talks. She also released a holiday album, A Holly Dolly Christmas. During her entire career, Parton has produced more than sixty music albums, which is a record-breaker. In one interview, she announced that she will be releasing her secret song 24 years from now — unfortunately, we’ll all have to wait until 2045 to hear it.
