Carl Dean — Dolly Parton's husband of 58 years — died March 3 in Nashville at 82 years old. The country legend paid tribute to him on March 6, saying, "he's in God's arms now."

A while back, when she was promoting her book about her distinct style, Dolly Parton was asked if her husband Carl Dean had a favorite outfit of hers. Parton got a dreamy smile on her face as she remembered.

No one chronicles love quite like Dolly Parton. From the melancholy farewell that grounds "I Will Always Love You" to the dizziness of heartbreak laid bare in "The Grass is Blue," Parton has cemented her place as one of the premier balladeers of the American songbook.
