Carl Dean, Dolly Parton's devoted husband of nearly 60 years who avoided the spotlight and inspired her timeless hit “Jolene,” died Monday. According to a statement provided to The Associated Press by Parton's publicist, Dean died in Nashville, Tennessee. Parton met Dean outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat the day she moved to Nashville at 18.

A candlelight vigil will be held on Southern University's campus Wednesday evening to honor the memory of Caleb Wilson, a student who died last week due to an alleged hazing incident.
