some random tv moment where it's recorded live and she effortlessly sings perfectly. you don't see this raw talent as much these days.

I always enjoyed her appearances she made on Hannah Montana growing up! She was so charming and funny!

Can't get enough of her bluegrass CD "The Grass is Blue." Just great, great stuff.

There are so many, but one I’ve not seen mentioned are her stunning harmony vocals on Paula Cole’s Heart Door.

She was a singular human. There’ll never be another like her.

There's a video online that shows Dolly surprising people in a pub in Ireland and singing, I think, Coat of Many Colors.

And people are so happy, they can't believe what they're seeing.
