Jeannie Seely, known as 'Miss Country Soul,' passed away at the age of 85 from complications of an intestinal infection. A trailblazer for women in country music, she gained fame in the '60s and '70s with multiple hits. Despite undergoing significant health challenges recently, including back surgeries and a bout with pneumonia, she remained optimistic about her recovery. Dolly Parton and other country luminaries paid tribute to her, reflecting on their deep friendship and Seely's impactful career in Nashville's music scene.
"Rehab is pretty tough, but each day is looking brighter and last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. And it was neon, so I knew it was mine! The unsinkable Seely is working her way back."
"She was one of my dearest friends. I think she was one of the greater singers in Nashville and she had a wonderful sense of humor."
