Dolly Parton released the new song "If You Hadn't Been There" last week, dedicating it to her late husband Carl Dean.
"He will always be the star of my life story," Parton said.
The song, which will be included in her upcoming Broadway musical, is an ode to Dean's foundation of love that enabled Parton to reach worldwide stardom.
