Starting In Church

Parton’s family was living in a strict Pentecostal area, so she spent most of her childhood going to church. She would perform at her congregation by the time she turned 6 years old. Her uncle gave Dolly her first guitar when she turned 8 years old. Then after that, there was no stopping her anymore Dolly started performing in her local television and radio shows like’ The Cas Walker Show’ in Knoxville.
