Dolly Parton to Receive the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at Upcoming CMA Awards

Dolly Parton is certainly one of popular music’s most colorful characters—a gifted singer and songwriter, a savvy entrepreneur and a multi-media entertainer.

On Nov. 2, Dolly will be the 2016 recipient of the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be presented during the 50th annual CMA Awards. The announcement was made last night (Oct. 3) during Dolly’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an iconic artist who has attained the highest degree of recognition in country music. The award was established to recognize an artist who has achieved both national and international prominence and stature through concert performances, humanitarian efforts, philanthropy, record sales and public representation at the highest level.

Following in the footsteps of previous recipients of the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award—Willie Nelson (2012), Kenny Rogers (2013) and Johnny Cash (2015)—Dolly sounds like the perfect choice.
