As Dolly Parton took the stage, a hush fell over the crowd, anticipation thick in the air

Over the years, Dolly Parton became more than a country singer as she fashioned a career that made her a business expert.

Using her voice as a launching pad, the singer went on to build an entire franchise surrounding her likeness. And as she continues to release new music and collaborate with rising stars, Dolly recently shared the heartbreaking news that her husband, Carl Dean, passed away at 82 years old.

Saddened over his passing, the country singer decided to honor his love and support for her over the years by releasing a new song in his honor.

On March 6th, Dolly shared a new song, “If You Hadn’t Been There”, on Instagram. The song came with a picture of the singer with her husband when they were younger. Wrapping her arms around Dean, Dolly appeared all smiles. Throughout the song, the lyrics reflected on the support Dean offered Dolly during her career.

Standing behind her from the beginning, Dean opted for a life outside of the spotlight. But that never stopped him from showing his support and love for one of the biggest names in country music.

Besides releasing the new song, Dolly also wrote a heartfelt message. “I fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old. We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together. Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song. He will always be the star of my life story, and I dedicate this song to him.”
