“To say that I was honored to accept the PEACE Through Music Award from the Recording Academy and the U.S. State Department would be putting it mildly,” Parton said in a statement. “I was very touched and moved by that. If I have been an inspiration in any way through some act of kindness or through some music that I have written, well, that makes me feel like I have done my job properly. Thanks again for such a great honor. Love, Dolly.”
Parton is set to be celebrated Friday (10/25) at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, at an event hosted by the Recording Academy and the Department of State. Find out more here.
