According to Wendy Shay, the late Dolly did not only made her love for music grow bigger but also inspired the growth of Whitney Houston.
“Oh no. Dolly Parton. Without you, we wouldn’t have had Queen Whitney Houston bless our ears with her biggest hit, ‘I’ll Always Love You.’ Not only did you write a timeless song, but you changed the entire narrative in the female artiste fraternity. Thank you; we will always love you,” she said.
Singer Efya, also in a post on X, noted that the voice of the late Dolly Parton would forever remain with her.
“Some voices don’t leave us. They become part of the world forever. Rest beautifully, Dolly,” Efya said.
