Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton—three women who rose from poverty to become country music’s greatest icons, not only because of their talent but also because of their timeless style. With their flowing hair and soulful voices, they defined the golden age of country music, delivering timeless tunes like “Silver Threads and Golden Needles,” which they performed together on their 1993 album “Honky Tonk Angels,” and their version was nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.

Now, with the passing of Loretta and Tammy, only Dolly Parton remains—an upholder of the spirit of country music, much like Betty White was a legend in comedy.
