Title: Throwback to Dolly Parton’s return to Australia
Dolly Parton, the country music star who rose from grinding poverty in Tennessee to become a rhinestone-studded cultural icon, has died.
In 2011, more than 30 years since her last solo Australian tour, Parton returned to play a dozen concerts.
SBS News filed this report about the sold-out shows and Parton’s plans to bring her Imagination Library to our shores.
Two years later, her program partnered with United Way Australia and has since distributed over two million books to children across Australia.
