The country music legend died following a brief battle with cancer.
Tributes are pouring in for Dolly Parton, with fans and musicians remembering her as a "giant of an artist" after her death at 80 following a brief battle with cancer.
The singer, from Tennessee, sold more than 100-million records over her six-decade career.
Some of her hits include Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You.
Flags across the US will be lowered for a week, while the Empire State Building in New York lit up in a ‘pink sparkle’ last night to honour the singer.
Midlands Country Singer, Cliona Hagan says she was a highly influential figure:
Moate's Tom Allen, aka TR Dallas, met Dolly around 1978 when she was performing in Dublin.
He says she was a good person and different to other performers:
