Dolly! Dolly! Dolly! Now Dolly Parton did quite well for someone who was born in a one-room cabin on the banks of the Little Pigeon River in Pittman Center, Tennessee. Now, among other things, she has her very own theme park called Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Musically, Parton got a career boost in 1967 when she was offered a spot on the TV program: The Porter Wagoner Show, which also became part of the touring road show. With the help of Wagoner, Parton was signed to RCA Victor. That same year she released her first song, a cover of Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind" - which reached the country top 10. From there, it was no looking back for Dolly Parton's career.
