The River Unbroken
Dolly captured this classic photograph for the cover of her 1987 single “The River Unbroken,” which appeared on her album Rainbow. It was Dolly’s last pop album before returning to her country roots, and it was one of her lower-ranking tracks.
Parton began her humanitarian activities with her Dollywood Foundation about the same time. Even today, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library sends one book every month to each registered kid from the time they are born until they start kindergarten.
Sandy Gallin And Sandollar Productions
Dolly Parton met her manager Sandy Gallin after appearing on The Mac Davis Show in 1976. “He’s got taste, and I’ve got skill,” she said of him. Their 25-year professional connection includes the founding of their joint film and television production firm Sandollar Productions in 1985.
Sandollar won numerous awards, including five Ace Awards and an Academy Award for the documentary Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt.
