Dolly Parton’s legacy includes a song fans won’t hear until 2045. An unreleased Dolly Parton track has been sealed inside a time‑capsule box at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It is a project she completed in 2015 when the resort first opened. “I have written a song that no one is going to hear until I am 99 years old. I might be there, I might not be,” the star said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” back in 2022. The song now stands as one of the most unique pieces of her legacy following her death Tuesday at age 80 after a battle with cancer. Parton wrote and recorded the track specifically for the capsule, which is set to remain closed for 30 years. She also packed the box with items meant to help future listeners understand how the song was created, including a cassette player and CD player.

It’s a really good song. I don’t know whose d— idea that was.” Still untouched and unopened, the capsule stands as a quiet piece of Parton’s legacy awaiting its moment. Fans will have to wait until 2045 to finally hear it. ...read more read less
