Dolly Parton, a country music icon, died peacefully at 80 years old. She was known for hits like "Jolene" and "9 to 5". The Associated Press reported her death, which occurred in Nashville, Tennessee.

Parton had recently expressed her desire to achieve more, telling People magazine just last Friday that she still had many things she wanted to accomplish. Further details about her life and legacy are available, including a statement from RodeoHouston, which remembered her iconic 1978 performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
