An unexpected tribute to the late Dolly Parton came from action star Vin Diesel, who surprised fans by singing an emotional rendition of her beloved song \u201cI Will Always Love You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the Queen of Country\u2019s death on Aug. 25, the 59-year-old Pitch Black<\/em> actor took to Instagram to honor the legendary singer in a unique and heartfelt way. His post featured a touching black-and-white image of Parton, while a recording of Diesel singing her iconic 1973 song \u201cI Will Always Love You\u201d played in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On paper, the combination might seem unusual. But Diesel\u2019s deep baritone voice singing a song so closely associated with Parton gives the performance an unexpected emotional quality. His voice appears particularly heartfelt during the closing lyrics, \u201cSo, goodbye \/ Please, don\u2019t cry,\u201d making the tribute surprisingly moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The moment also serves as another reminder of the enormous impact Parton had on people from all walks of life. Her music and legacy reached far beyond country music, touching generations of fans and fellow entertainers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diesel kept his caption simple, accompanying the emotional tribute with a single praying hands emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
