“I was born to be a singer and a songwriter,”  Dolly Parton once said.

“It was a song that brought me out of the Smoky Mountains to Nashville.  It was a song that has taken me everywhere I wanted to go.”

And oh, the places she’s been!  From the tiny two-room cabin in Tennessee where she was raised…to the Grand Ole Opry where she made debut at age 13…to the top of the country charts and then the pop charts…to the screens at your local cineplex…and beyond.  She was even commemorated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame…twice!

No wonder Dolly has called herself “the little engine that did!”
