If you hadn’t heard, Dolly Parton was just named the Greatest Country Artist of All Time by Billboard.

Now, the list was not without controversy, for some . . . But as for the top spot, no one could argue with the iconic Dolly Parton.

Here’s what she had to say when she found out about the honor, “I just learned that ‘Billboard’ magazine just released their list of Country Music’s Greatest Artist of All Time, and they have my name sitting at the top, can you believe that?”

“Now when I was a little girl, I would sit around the radio and listen to the Grand Ole Opry, and hearing all those great big stars like Hank Williams, and Kitty Wells, and Johnny Cash . . . and I dreamed of what my life could actually become as well.”

She closed it out by thanking her fans, and saying, “I take none of this for granted.  So, thank you for giving me the opportunity . . . to see my dreams come true.”
