Dolly Parton gives a few insights into her late husband, Carl Dean
"Carl and I spent a wonderful 60 years together."
Parton met Carl outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18.
"I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me he looked at my face."
He seemed genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about"
They were married on May 30 1966.
Parton and Dean kept their relationship private for decades, Parton saying in1984: "A lot of people say there is no Carl Dean, that he's just somebody I made up to keep other people off me."
He inspired Parton's classic, Jolene, the singer saying she wrote the song about a flirty bank teller who took a fancy in him.
