Years ago, Dolly Parton poured her sorrow over her brother’s passing into a song she named “Angel Hill,” after the place where her family buried Larry. She decided to introduce this deeply personal song in a TV movie, where it features vocals from Alyvia Alyn Lind, the young actress who plays a young Dolly.
During a “Home & Family” appearance, Dolly and Lind were asked to perform “Angel Hill” together, and they happily agreed.
When the producers brought out stools for Alyvia and Dolly, it was heartwarming to see Alyvia, so small, struggle to climb onto hers. The moment was undeniably cute. Once they were seated, the two began singing the emotional song about her deep love for her baby brother.
Producers brought out stools for Alyvia and Dolly, which Alyvia could barely jump on because she was so small. That was so cute. Lind and Parton climbed on stools and began to sing the heartbreaking song about her love for her baby brother.
She sang, “I’ll meet you in heaven if it be God’s will/My angel, my angel I’ll meet you in heaven, I can’t wait until,” it struck a chord with everyone listening, her words resonating deeply with the audience.
Alyvia and Dolly exchanged adorable looks at one another throughout the performance. While Lind sang with the country legend for the chorus, Parton took the lead during the verses. The song, while heartbreaking, is a beautiful tribute to Parton’s brother and turned into a really sweet duet between the “two Dollys.”

John Foster walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and looked up to the sky. Then, in a voice barely louder than a whisper, he said one name: Elvis Presley. The crowd leaned in. And then—with tears slipping down his face—he grabbed the mic and sang “Jailhouse Rock” like it was the last thing he’d ever do. His voice cracked, not from weakness, but from pure emotion. You could hear the ache, the love, the weight of memory in every note. For a few minutes, the world stood still. 50,000 people held their breath. Then—boom. The silence shattered into thunderous applause. This wasn’t just a song. It was a goodbye, a thank you, and a piece of John’s soul laid bare on stage.
