Country singer Zach Top paid tribute to Dolly Parton following her death by performing two of her best-known songs during recent live shows, opting to honour her through music rather than words alone. Parton's death prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the entertainment industry, reflecting her enormous influence on country music and beyond, and Top's back-to-back covers were among the ways artists sought to celebrate her legacy.

Top opened his tribute with "Here You Come Again," written by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann and released by Parton in September 1977, which topped the US Hot Country Songs chart and reached number one in Canada. He followed it with "9 to 5," one of Parton's signature hits and the theme song of the 1980 film of the same name, which also starred Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman and grossed over $100 million against a $10 million budget. Fans praised Top's renditions online, with some urging him to release a tribute recording and others crediting him with helping keep country music's legacy alive.
