Dolly Parton & Carl Thomas Dean – 53 years

Dolly Parton started her music career in the ‘60s. She married Carl Thomas Dean in 1966. With her talent and all the love and support from him, she finally reached the top charts in the ‘70s. Carl is now a retired businessman. He used to have investments in the asphalt road-paving business.

On the other hand, Dolly is still active in the music scene. She is confirmed to star in the new web series Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, which will premiere sometime this year. She was also recently inducted into the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame. No wonder she is dubbed by many as the queen of country music. She had been an inspiration to many, with her huge hits back then up to the more recent years. For work, she used to always be partnered with fellow country singer Kenny Rogers and together they made a good team. Of course, no one can still replace her real-life partner.
