Using her voice as a launching pad, the singer went on to build an entire franchise surrounding her likeness. And as she continues to release new music and collaborate with rising stars, Dolly recently shared the heartbreaking news that her husband, Carl Dean, passed away at 82 years old. Saddened over his passing, the country singer decided to honor his love and support for her over the years by releasing a new song in his honor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-19\">\n<h2 id=\"video-header\" class=\"g1-delta g1-delta-2nd g1-collection-title\">Videos<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>On March 6th,\u00a0Dolly\u00a0shared a new song, \u201cIf You Hadn\u2019t Been There\u201d, on Instagram. The song came with a picture of the singer with her husband when they were younger. Wrapping her arms around Dean, Dolly appeared all smiles. Throughout the song, the lyrics reflected on the support Dean offered Dolly during her career. Standing behind her from the beginning, Dean opted for a life outside of the spotlight. But that never stopped him from showing his support and love for one of the biggest names in country music.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DG4sVjMMuB8\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Flitaglobal.com&amp;rp=%2Fmaiplinh%2Fdolly-parton-has-once-again-touched-hearts-with-a-deeply-personal-new-song-dedicated-to-her-late-husband-carl-dean-the-emotional-ballad-captures-their-enduring-love-story-proving-that-even-i#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1623%2C%22ls%22%3A1269.2000002861023%2C%22le%22%3A1620.5%7D\" height=\"924\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Besides releasing the new song, Dolly also wrote a heartfelt message. \u201cI fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old.
