Dolly Parton helped fulfill a man’s dying wish, serenading him over the phone earlier this month.
LeGrand Gold has been battling cancer for two years and told local media he got news the cancer had spread outside of his liver. Gold decided to write down 10 bucket list wishes on a napkin, with one of them being to meet Dolly Parton.
Video filmed by Gold’s wife, Alice, shows his face lighting up as he gets serenaded by the country music legend.
“I always want to make people happy with my music and with the things I do and the things I say and I’m just happy to know that I’ve touched your life in some way,” Parton told Gold.
“You’ve been a huge help especially these past two years,” he responded.
Parton then serenaded Gold with a rendition of her classic “I Will Always Love You.”

What a beautiful man. What a beautiful smile. Needed this wholesome moment. How Dolly speaks to them is so kind and real and sincere. Wow. This is what love looks like!
Precious!!❤
That's cellphone for Dolly
Dolly is so kind. The expression on LG's face when they spoke was priceless. 🥹 Love and light are being sent to him, his spouse Alice, their loved ones, and friends. God grant LG and Alice peace and comfort throughout this trying period.
So sweet Dolly Parton 🫶🏻💟
Good man

Very sweet of Dolly. Too bad LG didn't get much time to have much of a conversation with her because his wife kept interrupting him and dominated the conversation.
Ms. Parton is a national treasure indeed. Absolutely love her.🤗❤️🤗
