Sorry, sweatband-lovers and pec-botherers: we're not about grunty pensioner Sylvester Stallone, but Dottie Rambo, the legendary American gospel singer and Dolly Parton collaborator who died yesterday in a tourbus crash in Missouri on the way to a Mothers' Day concert. God bless you, Ma'am.

Yet another long-serving musical woman who didn't get enough plaudits during her time on Planet Pop, the 74-year-old Dottie was a prolific songwriter who'd written over 2,000 songs – some of them covered by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wanda Jackson and Robert Plant's latest musical partner Alison Krauss. She was also fond of sequins, tons of blusher and lots of good old husky God-bothering melancholy.
