7:34Now PlayingABC News' James Longman remembers Dolly Parton. The country music legend died Tuesday in Nashville at 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Fans have been creating makeshift memorials, leaving flowers outside her home in Tennessee and at her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; Parton was born in a one-room cabin, made her Grand Ole Opry debut at 13, and wrote more than 3,000 songs, including "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You." She sold millions of records and became a pop culture icon; the trade war with Canada is escalating as Canada responds to President Donald Trump's tariffs by announcing tariffs of its own; the Trump administration is threatening to tear down the Kennedy Center if a judge does not allow Trump to move forward with planned renovations; there are new calls for Health Secretary RFK Jr. to resign as a measles outbreak turns deadly; a man seen harassing and chasing people in Philadelphia while wearing a creepy mask is now in custody; and ABC News' James Longman looks back at the Queen of Country's extraordinary legacy, humor, humility and unforgettable moments.
