或许唯有多莉·帕顿，能身着国旗配色的装束，还能得到一船水手的肃然起敬。舍她其谁。
本周，各界纷纷向这位被奉为乡村音乐女王的创作型歌手致以悼词。她于本周二逝世，享年80岁。简·方达称她是“共情之心的丰满化身”。泰勒·斯威夫特则表示，她“集真正的优雅与真正的勇气于一身，是一位光彩照女性”。
人人都有一段关于多莉的故事，而她的故事也回馈给了每一个人。
“我红得很快，”她在2022年接受《周日早间》采访时说道，“对此我曾兴奋不已。但在得到那份工作之前，我没有车，没有手机，一无所有。我曾体会过那种窘迫，也体会过那种喜悦。”
在近70年的演艺生涯中，她几乎跨越了所有的隔阂。去世前五个月的一项民调显示，70%的美国人对多莉·帕顿抱有好感——这一支持率远超榜单上的其他所有名人。
她的温暖与风趣、坚定不移的坦诚，以及田纳西州口音般的醇厚唱腔，在讲述心碎、信仰与恐惧的歌曲中如威士忌般醇厚动人，让多莉·帕顿成为了一代人才能出一位的天才。无论你是否喜欢乡村音乐，她都早已是我们身边的家人。
《朝九晚五》是她一生中创作的约3000首歌曲之一，曲风涵盖乡村、福音、蓝草音乐。坊间传说，她曾一气呵成写下《约莲》和《我将永远爱你》。

这一切都堪称传奇，尤其是考虑到帕顿不识乐谱。但对她而言，歌曲发自内心，而非纸面。正如她2004年在接受丹·拉瑟为《周日早间》采访时所说：
“像我这样的人，尤其是创作者，都活得格外敏感。你必须敞开心扉，接纳每一种情绪。但正因如此，你也会变得极易受到伤害。我做任何事都全力以赴。吃东西不能只吃一点，我要吃光整份。投入感情不能只浅尝辄止，我要全心去爱……我做任何事，都会全身心投入其中。”
多莉·丽贝卡·帕顿出生在田纳西州山区的一间两居室小木屋里，是12个孩子中的第四个。她曾说，他们“穷得叮当响”，过着只有亲身经历过才能理解的乡村生活。她说：“我还算机灵。我没受过多少教育，也谈不上多聪明，但我很有智慧，是乡村式的智慧。你们知道什么是‘街头智慧’吧？我觉得，如果非要跟你解释的话，我就是‘乡村智慧’。”
她说，音乐始终萦绕在她身边——尤其是在教堂里，她年仅6岁就开始在那里唱歌。

“我母亲那边的家人都懂音乐，”帕顿说道，“所以镇上每场葬礼、每场婚礼、每场聚会，我们都会到场演奏演唱。我家所有人都参与其中。”
尽管声名远扬，她始终将私生活保护得极为隐秘。她一生只结过一次婚，丈夫卡尔·迪恩经营着道路和车道铺装生意。两人结婚59年后，卡尔于2025年去世，享年82岁。他们从未育有子女。正如她在2019年接受《周日早间》采访时所说，她对此并不后悔：“不，完全不后悔。这不是命中注定，我从不后悔。从来没有后悔过。这是一种选择。你做出选择，也要做出牺牲。”
名气确实是一种牺牲——一种危险的牺牲，她曾坦言：“我曾因体重和其他诸多事情陷入极度抑郁，直到最后我终于想通：别再自怨自艾了，好好过日子。但走出那段阴霾后，我必须坐下来，审视自己，请求上帝助我一臂之力，带我脱离困境。我当时想：你知道吗，这是最好的办法。几个月后，我真的东山再起了，体重也恢复了正常。一切都步入正轨，我真正把余生打理得井井有条。”
她的一生也充满了慈善事业。她默默支持救灾工作、医学研究和青少年扫盲项目。
自1995年以来，她的“想象力图书馆”每月都会向前置幼儿园的孩子们赠送一本书——累计已向全美各地的儿童送出了数百万本免费图书。
“我们家以前一本书都没有，”她解释道，“妈妈只有一本圣经。我在学校里爱上了读书，只要能拿到手的东西，我都会读。”
她极其清醒自知，真诚到近乎执拗。当有人告诉她上帝赐予了她美貌时，帕顿回应道：“是啊，他确实赐予了。但我也帮了他一把。上帝愿意帮助那些自助的人。……我做过很多整形手术。需要的时候我还会做更多。我常说，如果看到什么地方松弛、下垂、臃肿了，我就要该收紧的收紧、该调整的调整、该修饰的修饰，该怎么做就怎么做。”
她说，她的美是乡野版的精致，但这也为她的演艺事业铺平了道路，让演戏对她充满吸引力。她本可以逃离田纳西的故土奔赴好莱坞，但她没有，甚至还围绕自己的成长经历打造了一座主题公园。这并非虚荣——而是对她一路走来的见证，也是对那些仍在山谷中怀揣远大梦想的人们的鼓舞。

在她录制的所有歌曲中，她留下了一首名为《我在历史中的位置》的作品。它被封存在一个时间胶囊中，她要求直到2046年1月19日她的百岁诞辰时才能开启。
她的侄子布莱恩·西弗表示，她“希望躺在柔软舒适的棉床上安息，毕竟一辈子都戴着沉重的莱茵石饰品，她终于可以安心休息，好好放松一下了。” 确实，该安息了。
当被托尼·多科皮尔问到，她希望人们在一百年后如何铭记她时，帕顿打趣道：“我希望他们会说，天哪，就她这年纪看起来状态还这么好？”

The one and only Dolly Parton: A tribute
August 30, 2026 / 10:11 AM EDT / CBS News
Perhaps only Dolly Parton could dress like a flag – and still be taken seriously by a ship full of sailors. Only Dolly.

Tributes poured in from everywhere this past week for the singer-songwriter, hailed as the queen of country music, who died Tuesday at the age of 80. Jane Fonda called her “the voluptuous embodiment of empathy.” Taylor Swift said she was “true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person.”
Everyone has a Dolly story – and her story was everyone’s in return.
“I got to be pretty famous pretty quick,” she told “Sunday Morning” in 2022. “And I was very excited about that. Before I got that job, though, I had no car, no phone, no nothing. I’ve known the pain of that, and the joy of that.”
In her nearly 70 years of entertaining, she managed to bridge just about every gap. A poll taken five months before her death revealed 70% percent of Americans had a favorable view of Dolly Parton — that was the highest approval rating for any other luminary on the list by far.
Her warmth and wit, her unshakable honesty, and that Tennessee timbre that flowed like whiskey in songs about heartache, faith and fear, made Dolly Parton a once-in-a-generation talent. She was family, whether you liked country music or not.
“9 to 5” was one of some 3,000 songs she composed over her lifetime, from country, to gospel, to bluegrass. Legend has it she wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” back-to-back.

It’s all pretty remarkable, especially given that Parton couldn’t read sheet music. But for her, songs came from the heart, not the page, as she once told Dan Rather for “Sunday Morning” in 2004:
“People like me, especially songwriters, people that live – in order to be a writer, you’re extremely sensitive. You have to leave yourself wide open, you know, to every feeling. But by doing that, you leave yourself very vulnerable to everything. Everything I do, I feel to the nth degree. I can’t eat just a little; I have to eat the whole thing. I can’t feel just a little; I have to love all the way … everything I do, I throw myself completely into it.”
Born in a two-room log cabin in the hills of Tennessee, Dolly Rebecca Parton was the fourth of 12 children. She says they were “dirt poor” and lived a country life you’d only understand if you’d lived it yourself. She said, “I’m pretty sharp. I’m not educated and I’m not that intelligent, but I’m smart, I’m country smart. You know how they say somebody’s ‘street smart’? I feel like if I’ve got to tell you, I’m country smart.”
Music, she says, was always around – especially at church, where she started singing at only six.

“My mom’s people were all musical,” Parton said. “And so, we played and sang at every funeral, every wedding, every shindig going on in town. Everyone in my family was, you know, in that.”
For all her fame, she kept her private life extremely private. She was married only once, to Carl Dean, who ran a road and driveway paving business. He passed away in 2025 at the age of 82, after 59 years of marriage. They never had any children together. As she told “Sunday Morning” in 2019, she did not regret that: “No, absolutely not. It wasn’t meant to be, and I don’t regret it. I never regretted it. I mean, it was a choice. You make your choices. You make your sacrifices.”
Fame was indeed a sacrifice – a dangerous one, she once revealed: “I was so depressed over my weight and a lot of other things, until I just finally thought: get off your fat ass, get on with your life. But out of that, I just had to sit down, take inventory, ask God to help me, lead me out of that, and I thought: you know, this is the best thing. In a few months, I really made a comeback, and I got my weight in order. I got my stuff in order, and I really put the rest of my life together.”
That life was also full of charity. She quietly supported disaster relief efforts, medical research, and youth literacy programs.
Her Imagination Library has delivered one book a month to pre-K kids since 1995 – amounting to millions and millions of free books to children all across the country.
“We didn’t have books in the house,” she explained. “Mama had the Bible. And I loved books at school, and I would read anything I could get my hands on.”
She was as self-aware as they come, genuine to a fault. When told that God had made her pretty, Parton responded: “Yeah, he did. But I helped Him some. God’s willing to help them who help themselves. … I’ve had a lots of work done. I’ll have more done when I need it. I always said, if I see something sagging, dragging and bagging, I’m gonna nip it, tuck it and suck it, whatever needs to be done.”
Her beauty, she said, is a hillbilly version of it, but it translated into an on-screen career that made acting so attractive. She could have fled her Tennessee roots for Hollywood, but she didn’t, so much so, she created a theme park around her upbringing. It wasn’t vanity – it was a testament to how far she’d come, and inspiration for those back in the hollers dreaming of something big.

Out of all the songs she recorded, she left one behind, called “My Place in History.” It’s locked in a time capsule that she asked not be opened until her 100th birthday – January 19, 2046.
Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, said she “wanted to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because, after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.” Rest, indeed.
Asked by Tony Dokopuil how she wanted people to remember her 100 years from now, Parton quipped, “I want them to say, God, don’t she look good for her age?”
