Country music icon Dolly Parton's remarkable career spanned generations and inspired people around the world – including across Africa. The star, who died in Tennessee on Tuesday at the age of 80, was particularly appreciated in South Africa thanks to her collaboration with renowned Zulu group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Affectionately known as the "Queen of Country Music", Parton wrote some 3,000 songs during a prolific career that even inspired a Broadway musical.
