Legendary guitarist Peter Frampton kept his message warm and playful:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to wish Dolly the happiest 80th birthday ever, and Bigsby, my dog, does too. We both wanted to say what a thrill it was that you chose one of my songs (\u2018Baby, I Love Your Way\u2019) to put on your rock album, and to sing with you was unbelievable. You actually upped my game, because I had to compete with you. It was so wonderful, so thank you so much again. It was a thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Debbie Harry (Blondie)<\/p>\n

Punk and new wave icon Debbie Harry highlighted Dolly\u2019s fearless musical curiosity:<\/p>\n

\u201cDolly, it\u2019s truly an honour that you loved \u2018Heart Of Glass\u2019 enough to include it on your Rockstar (2023) album. Wishing you all my love and the happiest of birthdays. Thank you for your endless dedication and love for music \u2013 it\u2019s inspired so many of us.
\nP.S. I still want to visit Dollywood!
\nMy favourite Dolly song: It is difficult to pick just one favourite, but \u2018Jolene\u2019 has always been up there.\u201d<\/p>\n
