Dolly Parton's Song Locked Away Until 2045
26 Aug
Summary
- A new Dolly Parton song will be heard in 2045.
- The track was written in 2020 and placed in a time capsule.
- Parton expressed regret about the delayed release.
Dolly Parton's musical legacy will continue to resonate, with a new, previously unheard song set for release in 2045. This track, penned by the iconic artist, will not be accessible for another two decades following her passing on August 25th, at the age of 80, after a brief battle with cancer.
The song, titled "My Place In History," was revealed by Parton in her 2020 memoir, "Songteller: My Life in Lyrics." She had placed it within a time capsule at her Dollywood theme park in Tennessee, intending for it to be heard on her 99th birthday in 2045.
Reflecting on her decision in a 2022 appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," the 11-time Grammy winner humorously admitted to some regret. Parton confessed that the thought of the song remaining unheard for so long had "bothered" her, and she had a strong desire to retrieve it sooner.
