Cher is holding onto nearly 50 years of memories with her dear friend Dolly Parton, and just hours after news of the country legend's death broke, she opened up about the woman behind the music.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer, 80, phoned into CBS News on Tuesday, August 25, to speak with Gayle King and Tony Dokoupil about Parton, who died earlier that day at age 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Cher was understandably emotional as she reflected on the loss of her longtime friend.

"I'm happy to be here, except I'm crying," she admitted.
During the chat, Cher called Parton "tough" and "smart," recalling her ability to remain positive no matter what life threw her way. "She just had a spirit and it was a spirit that was always thinking the best was happening, the best was gonna happen. Her friends loved her [and] her life was good. That's who she was," she said.
